RAINS BENEFIT THE CROPS

Heavy rains throughout South Dakota
during the past few days have proven
of untold benefit to crops of all kinds.
Previous to the rains it had become so
dry on the surface of the ground that
much of the corn had not yet sprouted.
Intact. farmers reported that many ker-
nels as hard as when they put them into
the ground, the moisture in the ground
at the time not having been sufficient
to cause the kernels to swell and sprout.
The heavy rainfall during the past few
days will remedy all this, and crops now
will grow rapidly aud make up for the
time lost because of the backward
spring and early lack of rain 1t is safe
to say that crops throughout the state,
this including small grain as well as
corn never were in better condition at
this period of the growing season.

GOOD HORSES ARE IN DEMAND

The horse market in this part of
the state appears to be active this
spring, searching the country for
horses and paying good prices. A
number of buyers have been working
this part of the state the past few
weeks and farmers are turning oft
their surplus stock. The heaviest
purchases have been made by Tom
Brannigan of Omaha, who has been
working in this section for several
years. Saturday he shipped seven
cars of work horses from here to
South Omaha. A few years ago, the
buyers who came to this part
of the country expected to get
unbroken rangers for their ship
ments, but now are taking broken
horses, and finding number of farm
ers with few head each ready to
turn Off. Other buyers will make
further shipments from here the last
of the present week.

SAVES CHILD'S LIFE.

Prompt action on the part of the
teacher and older pupils at the kim
bro school, in Stanley county, no
doubt sased the life of the little
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. G. "a.
Wood. While at play she was bitten
on the hand by a rattle snake. The
teacher and older pupils at once
bound the arm tightly above the
wound, and applied what local reme-
dies they new of. The child was
FASTENED to physician, but several
hours elapsed before he was reached.
He found the emergency precautions
taken such that there was little dan.
ger from the the bite, and the child
will suffer but little Inconvenience,
from what might easily have been a
fatal wound, had the teacher not
gone promptly to work in an intelli-
gent manner to handle the case.

CREAMERY A MONEY MAKER

The Sansarc creamery in northern
Stanley county, over twenty miles
from railroad, paid to the farmers
in that vicinity $4,000 for cream deli
vered in May. The creameries at
Fort Pierre and Phillip, in that
county, also did good May business.
Besides this, every east bound train
carries heavy shipments of cream,
and the payments for that product
in Stanley county the past month has
run into the thousand. The whole
move shows an inclination on the part
of the new settlers to make the native
grass pay them dividend, as did the
older settlers, but now through the
products of the dairy COW instead of
the range steer.

EXECUTIVE CHAMBERS

Pierre, South. Dakota, June H.
The people of South Dakota are
united in using their best endeavors
for the upLuilding Of the State and
for the development and utilization
of it's natural resources, and just how
to assist the intelligent development
of these resorces is today leading
question.
Our agricultural possibilities are as
great as those of any state in the
Union; our hills and over mountains
contain deposits of valuable ores, the
extent of which is unknown; a large
section Of the state is underlaid with
beds of cool, the limits of which have
not yet been determined; our streams
afford the opportunity for the develop
ment of vast power at numerous points
within the state. Irrigation may, in
certain sections of the state, be en-
ployment to aid and upbuild intensive
agriculture, orcharding is especially
adaptable to development in different
parts of the state. Our manufacturing
industries may be very materially
increased if given proper consideration
our transportation facilities are made
quate and their extension should be,
encouraged
Having carefully consider :the need
of a concerted effort part of the people
of the Estate for conserving and devel-
oping our natural resources, I, r. S.
Vessey, Governor of the Common wea-
18th, hereby proclaim the holding the
First South Dakota Conservation and
Development Congress in the Auditor
ium in the City of Pierre, on June
20, 80 and Junel l, 1910, and earnestly

cULTIvATING CORN

Generally speaking, results have
favored the shallow cultivation of
corn as oppose to deep cultivation,

The practical application would be
that corn should not be cultivated

roots, especially toward the latter
part of the season, when greater

A young mother went upstairs one
