GOVERNMENT TOWN LOTS.

The United States Reclamation Ser
vice has never had more excellent
example of what can be done by irri-
eating Methods than in the Belle
Fourhe Valley, which lies northeast
of the Black Hills in South Dakota.
1sThe smiling valley has filled up
with an aggressive and vigorous class
of settlers, "who have taken up gov
eminent land under the government
irrigation project, and the new town
site of Newell is intended to help fill
the demand that has arisen for trade
center close at.hand.
The Chicago 4 North Westerns
new line which runs through the Val
ley places Newell in direct touch
with the markets of the Black Hills.
Omaha, Sioux City, Des Moines. St.
Paul, Minneapolis. Milwaukee and
Chicago, and Newell is the present
terminus of the line.
Temporary buildings have already
been constructed. General stores,
a newspaper, hotels, and three banks
have been established on the edge Of
the town waiting for the sale of lots
to take place.
The sale of lots will be under gov
eminent supervision, and the Secre-
tary Of the interior has designated
October 18th as the date upon which
this important event in the history
of the valley will take place.
1t is expected thata large number
of people will attend with a view to
taking advantage of the call for bust
ness men to come here and reap the
benefits of trade.
A hundred thousand acres of rich
irrigation lands are being thrown
open to the public settlement in the
Belle Fourche and a thickly populat-
ed community of prosperous farmers
is springing up into an ideal home Of
which Newell will be one of the CEN
tere.

TO BUILD ALFALFA MILL

Rapid City Journal: Prominent
ranchers from the Elk Creek valley
were in the city yesterday discussing
project to build an alfalfa meal mill
somewhere in the Elk Creek country
IL was thought at first that the pro-
posed mill would be placed at Pied
mont, but the men who are Interested
think it ought to be located nearer
the source of supply and that would
mean in the Elk Creek valley where
there is great deal of alfalfa raised
and where many thousands of tons
could be added to the annual output
with ease.

THREE FAMILIES TO EACH FARM.

Three families to each farm is the
case in the United Stetes to-day.
One on the farm and two in town,
but all dependent on the farm. Two
generations ago nearly everybody
lived on the land, and it was the
lookout of each family how they
worked the land. Now, with two
thirds of the people in town, it not
only concerns the man on the farm
whether the crop is good or crop is
good or not, but also the man in town
who is dependent on the produce of
the land for his living. Whether the
crop be poor or good really affects
the city nl;.:i more than it does the
farmer who can keep ont enough
for himself. If there is no surplus
it is hard to see who will suffer most.
AS industry developes we get moro
and more dependent on each other
The farmer, however, remains the
most independent, and again the
way he carries on his work is of the
most vital Importance to us all. The
soil is the source of everything that
calls forth the efforts of industry.
The people who till the soil have
charge of the source of supply
and the rest have to go accordingly
Do we want more to DO with; then
the farmer must produce more. To
do that he must have more know
ledge and skill in his work. As long
AS the land was virgin it would pro-
duce with any kind of outstanding.
Much of the farming is hardly on =
permanent basis yet; witness the
abandoned farms in the East; the de-
creasing land values in the State of
New York in the face of increasing
markets.
