Fine Crops Grow
on Desert Land
Special Agent Of General Land Office
Discovers Error Made in
Designation.

RAPID CITY, S. D., Sept. 9.-(Special.)-
Charles w. Atkinson, special agent of the
general land office at Washington, has
concluded taking evidence in 800 home
stead cases in the Rapid City district and
fifteen in the Belle Fourche. During the
month of August he made 14 investiga-
tons and of these sixty-two will be favor
ably reported. Desert land entries have
been bad generally, as those who have
filed have made only a superficial attempt,
II any, to reclaim the land. Mr.. Atkinson
states the rainfall is so heavy that on
many Of the desert homesteads fine crops
are being raised and hat In realty they
do not belong in the desert land class. He
has also found that agricultural and
have been entered under the timber and
stone land law and that he will report
these to Washington and the claimants
will be required to make absolute proof.
Mr.. Atkinson tells of many schemes de-
vised by homesteaders seeking to evade
the law requiring actual residence and re-
clamation of the land, The most remark
able of these, perhaps. relates to a home
steader in the southern part of the state,
who testified before the receiver that he
had plowed between ten and eleven acres
on his entry. Later an Investigation was
made and it was found to be true that the
entryman had plowed5 between ten and
eleven acres. He had measured off ten
acres and eleven beside 1t and then plowed
two burrows between fthe two tracts.

Secretary Wilson
Visits B~rookings
Head of Department of Agriculture
Pays Attention to Cultivation
of Irrigated Region.

BROOKINGS, S. D., Sept. 9.-(special..-
James E. Wilson, secretary of agriculture,
arrived here yesterday for a visit with
his son, a professor in the agricultural col
lege here. and to see for the first time
his grandson. James Wilson III.
Secretary Wilson has just returned from
an inspection of the Belle Fourche irri-
cation ditch and he promises to give his
personal attention to the development of
the Belle Fourche valley. He will study
the soil there to find what crops and what
methods will be most successful. He IL
Illustrates this by referring to the fact
that Iowa farmers going to the Belle
Fourche district and farming as they did
in low would fail.
Farmers of the United States are urged
by the secretary to cultivate an immense
potato grown in Russia for the manufac-
ture of alcohol. These potatoes yield at
the rate OF 400 TO 500 bushels an acre, and,
as a gallon of alcohol can be made from
a bushel of them, Secretary Wilson be-
lieves they will supply the fuel Of the
future.

yer's favor, with medal scores Of "a for
Sawyer and 76 for Egan. The afternoon
eighteen took Sawyer seventy-five strokes
and Egan seventy-three. Egan squared
the match at the eighth hole in the after
moor and took the lead at the next hole,
only to lose 1t at the eleventh. Thereafter
it was a long ding-dong fight. Sawyer got
threes on the tenth, fourteenth and six
teenth holes. the latter two following APP
proach shots of seventy-five yards that
all but holed out. Egan halved the twelfth
in four, one stroke under DOGGY, after what
looked like an almost impossible shot out
of the rough. The next hole was even
more sensational. Sawyer badly topped his
brassy shot following a perfect drive, the
ball barely jumping over the little bunker.
But 1t lay we'll, and putting every pound
behind his next stroke he sent the sphere
over the big mound guarding the green.
The ball carried at least 25 yards and
rolled well onto the green. Egan in the
meantime had played three flawless strokes
and his ball lay on the green twenty feet
from the cup. Sawyer's putt of thirty
four feet was true, but just a trifle hard,
the ball just jumping the cup. Then Egan
holed his putt, two strokes under DOGGY.
Sawyer was 1 up, playing the seven
teenth hole, and right there his anxiety
to hole a twenty-foot putt for three and
win cost him the game. He putted too
hard, the ball rolled four feet beyond the
cup and Sawyer missed the return putt,
taking five for the hole. A gallery of
500 watched the play for the thirty-sixth
hole. Egan 'heeled' his drive and was
short and far to the right on his attempt
to get out. Sawyer's second shot put
him thirty feet from the cup. 1t looked
like Sawyer's game, but then Egan pulled
off one of the shots from a bad lie that
are the envy even of professionals. From
eighty yards away, In the long grass, Egan
laid his ball within four feet OF the cup
and secured a half.
Both made perfect fours on the thirty
seventh hole, but Sawyer approached short
In the ~thirty-eighth and on a putt of six
feet for a half gave his ball no chance
to go down, as it stopped two inches from
the cup.
most as large a gallery as did the Egan-
Sawyer game. The end of the first nine
holes of the afternoon found Gardner l UP
on his opponent. Travis ran into all
kinds OF trouble at the tenth. His mid
iron pitch fell into the water and he took
six for the hole to Gardeners three.
The eleventh and twelfth holes were
halved in four, At the thirteenth Gardner
drove into the grass, but his second put
him on the green with Travis. The latter
took the hole, +-6, with a beautiful twenty
foot putt.
For the fourteenth Travis pulled his
