Milwaukee Employs Homesteaders.


Aberdeen-The Milwaukee railroad
is discharging the Italian laborers in
northwestern South Dakota and CIV
ing preference to settlers on the new
lands in that section. The road pays
but $1.50 day for day labor, but many
homesteaders are availing themselves
of the opportunity to secure work
which will enable them to stay until
spring instead of going east in search
of employment. Conditions in the
newly settled country were materially
bettered by heavy rains Inst Saturday
and Sunday, covering practically the
whole of Corsor, Dewey, Harding,
Ziebach and Perkins counties. While
too late to benefit grain, the rains will
help pastures and hav, and also will
help the potato and vegetable crops
Many homesteaders who had contem-
plated securing leaves of absence from
their claims until spring now hope To
stick through the winter, with the
better outlook due to the rains and the
work to be secured from the railroads.

Fisher at length, but never in the con-

Fulton.-Dr. A. n. Hume, the agro-

alton of the soil in an effort to deter
mine the cause of the partial crop fail

that will have a tendency to prevent
such failures in the future
A section of the country six miles
wide and nine miles long was gone
over Sketches were made of the con-
tour of the land; borings were made
and samples of the soil taken from the
farms of Herman BlYmenberg, Mrs.
j. G. Reid, A. w. Soladay, George
Miles. Walter Slade and H. D. Thomp-
son. These samples have been taken
TO the laboratory at Brookings, where
they will be analyzed and report
made as to the probable reason why,
under conditions, they do not produce
"a crop.
This work is the beginning in South
Dakota of soil examination with the
view of finding out what it contains,
what it needs and what treatment to
3iye it in order to raise it to it's maxi
mum of productive ability. During
the examination made by DIR. Hume,
who has done much of this kind of
work in Germany, in several states

of the commissioners at White Butte

serious study and time by the COM
