Huron, S. D.-Twenty counties
have already made application for
space for county exhibits at the South
Dakota state fair. They ire: Butte
Brookings. Brown. Clay, Clark, Cor
son. Faulk. Dawson, Hyde, Hughes,
Kingsbury, Hand, Minnehaha, Nc

Sanborn, Sphinx and Turner. This is
the largest application for space for
ooulty exhibits ever made, and the
counties applying are we'll distribut-
ed over the state and are represent
tative of its richest agricultural,
grazing and mining sections. The
county exhibits are doing injustice
to their own counties If they are not
already pushing to the very limit the
arrangements for full and splendid
exhibits.
Such a showing of products as
South Daokta can make this year will
be advertised gratuitously. all over
the west. The leading news, stock
and agricultural press have asked for
press tickets and will send staff cor
respondents to write UP this Fair.

Toxic, Japan.-Tremendous earth
quakes and volcanic eruptions have

-Four days quakes to the number
OF 1874 followed each other and then

And it is safe to say that only /;

country know today that the indus

Some two decades ago a real biz
zard crossed South Dakota. It didn'
stop in this state, but the first report:
iof it came from here, so that it was
enlarged up to South Dakota. There
hasn't been a single real blizzard
since and yet it is a popular phrase to
refer to Dakota billiards.. Similarly
the first settlers OF South Dakota SUI
tfered from what they called drouth.
Their crops dried in the south wind
and grasshoppers, always thriving In
dry fields, helped to finish them. The
same thing happened in western
Iowa a few years before. Old settlers
there will still talk Of the hot south
winds and the dry weather and the
grass-hoppers. And before that east
ern Iowa had the same story to tell.
But South Dakota is one of the newer
states and probably there is still an
impression that the state suffers from
a lack Of rainfall. AS a matter Of fact,
South Dakota's early experience Just
demonstrated what the early exper-
fence of Iowa did. And that is that a
cultivated soil holds moisture and a
new land does not. In the prairie that
had stood for unknown centuries, the
ground was packed hard and filled
with assures down which the water
poured, quickly going out of the
reach of the roots of vegetation; or
else it ran off into streams. Now that
the soil has been pulverized and an
underlying bed formed that holds the
moisture, the state doesn't need
rains at regular intervals. That this
is true has been demonstrated again
this year. There has not been so
much rainfall as in other years and
the farmers, still under the spell Of
South Dakota's early reputation, be.
gan to imagine their SMALL grain was
gone. But now they are finding their
surprise in a crop that in many sec
lions is above the average.
South Dakota has suffered in a
way from the reputation unjustly put
upon her. But that has meant bigger
profits for those who came, for it no
doubt delayed immigration and thus
has kept prices of land down below
the figures suggested by the income
from it. No better investment can be
found today anywhere than South
Dakota land. There is every reason
to believe that when the figures have
all been received South Dakota will
more this year lead all the states
