PLAN FOR STORING
FLOOD WATERS Will
IMPROVE BAD LANDS
Citizens of Scenic Will Meet On
December 16 to Launch a
Gigantic Scheme.

Pierre, S. D.. Nov 25.-The eit;.en=
of Scenic and of surrounding country
Will hold a meeting at tina place on
December 16 to perfect an organization
to eventually put about 75,0 600 acres
OF table lands under irrigation Nv
means of stored flood waters. These
table lands In the Bad Lands are re-
garded as rich soil as is to be found
anywhere. Even in dry years, when
there is no grass in the valleys, a
.iuxuriant forage crop is found on the
high land. The rain fall is from l2
to 20 inches annually, more frequently
being nearer the upper figure. This
IS approximately that OF Pierre. With
this amount of moisture, sufficient
water can be retained in dams on or
dinarily dry water courses to irrigate
a vast area. In all probability Rex
Green, assistant state engineer Will be
IN attendance to instruct the gather
ing In scientific methods for the con-
servation of water. Another project
which will be developed next summer
and for which right to appropriate
water has just been given Is that of
Jefferson d. Carr on the Cheyenne
Lindsay, which will embody 500
acres, to be planted to alfalfa for hog

SOUTH DAKOTA FARMERS
DELIGHTED WITH SNOW

LeBeau, S. D., Nov. 25.-The
recent heavy snowfall has given
farmers in this part Of the
country very great encourage
ment. With the ground very
dry this fall and no snow, many
old experienced farmers de-
clared it almost useless to put
in a crop in the spring. How
ever, this heavy snow, nearly a
foot on a level, with the ground
frozen very little, insures ample
moisture to start and partly ma
ture a crop. Light rains next
summer will insure a good yield.
