ROSEBUD SECTION
OF SOUTH DAKOTA
MUCH Benefit TED
Recent Rains Help the Prospect
for Good Crops in Trip
and Gregory.

Gregory, s. D, July 1S.-The crop
outlook for the Rosebud country this
year is one of the surprises of the.
northwest. While reports concerning
the dry weather in other sections have
been showing up in the newspapers
from time to time, this section of the
country has been favored with good,
soaking rains at intervals of about a
week. AS a result the small grain
crop here will come up to the general
average of bumper crops raised on ne
Rosebud eve since this country was
thrown omen to settlement six years
ago. The corr is in fne shape, strong
and coming out wonderfully well.
That portion of the Rosebud coun-
try lying in I'ripp county, which was
thrown omen to settlers last year, has
suffered from the dry continuous south
wind. The soil there is new, most OF
ii being sod broken out this season,
and for this reason dries out quickly.
All of the old ground that was We'll
cultivated. however, will produce good
crops in Trip county. The soc crops
are in a bad way and few settlers will
harvest more than a half crop. h
difference in the crops on the we'll cul-
tivated old ground from that on the
sod is markedly noticeable and where
ever one finds q tract of old ground
in the new country which has had
proper attention the crop shows up in
good shape. If the copius rains Of the
past three weeks keep up the corn
crop on the sod in Trip county will
come out wonderfully and will yield
heavily. The sod small grain crop in
Trip county. however, is doomed and
no amoun of rain can now save 1t.

tons of the state in round numbers
$4,000, 600, and OF this over $780, coo was
sent out for the first six months of this
year. The fund is increasing i II

a point where many of the common
schools of the state win be practically
supported through this fund without
local taxation. In fact some of the
country districts, where there is close
pairing on education" are already get
ting through their school year with
this fund.
BY far the largest part of this has
gone to the public schools, that branch
of education having received $5,576, $50
OF the fund, OF which nearly 2 half
million went to them for the first half
of 1910. The various endowed state

LESS THAN ONE-FOURTH FILE
FOR RESERVATION LANE

Aberdeen. S. D., July 16.-Final re-
turns from the United States land Of
fee show that of the first 5000 win
ners in the Ian drawing on the Cney-
enne River and Standing Rock reserva-
tons, only 1880 completed their filings.
Two thousand, -four hundred and eight
made their selections, but after the 10
days allowed by law had elapsed since
the filings closed, only 1890 were found
to have completed the transaction.
This is a trifle less than one-fourth,
and it is believed the proportion of
the remaining 10000 who are privileged
to file after September l will be much
lower.
The light rainfall this year is be-
lieved to nave discouraged many pros

hundred cars have been ordered for
this point next week, with big strings
needed continually thereafter.
The fear that the feed supply will be
disastrously light in the winter, on &C
count OF the drouth. has prompted this,
and, although the market is down, the
stuchmen prefer to take the best the
market will offer rather than attempt
to carry them through.
Prices prevailing in the valley are
low. A woman whose husband recently

got $50 a head for all ages, throwing
h calves in. A sale was started here
Saturday, but was called off when only
$40 was bid on q COW and calf, the first
