SWEET CLOVER PROFITABLE

I. j. Steele of Sioux City, one Of
the owners of the Steele & Goudy
ranch in western Sully county, feels
confident that one of the coming for
age plants of the northwest is sweet
clover. This plant, which has been
spreading over the Missouri valley,
making heavy growth wherever it
has secured foothold, regardless of
adverse weather conditions, and
showing an ability to thrive on the
prairie with but little rainfall, has
been looked upon as pest to be ex-
terminated if possible. But Mr..
Steele says it has been proven to him
by tests that if it is handled as is al
falfa, cutting it while tender and be-
fore it becomes woody, it makes one
of the best of stock foods, and that it
can be grown is shown by it's rank
growth wherever it has secured =
start. 1t is said to be just as good
for hogs as for cattle, and Mr.. Steele
is hunting for a supply of the seed to
start field of it on his sully county
ranch and give it test. 1t is fod-
der for which stock must acquire q
taste, but when they once take it.,
they eat it greedy.

WHO'S WHO

In the meeting of progressive re-

lar state organization of the progress
sive league will discuss the candidacy
OF Taft and LaFollette, but it is not
likely that the session will endorse
either the meeting of it's action of
the recent session in Huron.
AS may always be expected from
the republicans OF South Dakota they
are divided. When stalwart and pro-
gressive bury their hatchet the in
surgents themselves develop factions
and this is the situation at the pres-
ent time.
OF the Richards and anti Richards
tribes, each desires to be known as

sertion stick. The Mitchell meeting

LANDS AND IRRIGATION

In looking into the matter of tracts
which are subject to irrigation in the
Missouri valley in the counties of
Hughes. Sully and Stanley. it is found
that in Hughes county there are
seyenty-seven sections which lie
within one mile of the Missouri,
much of which is river bottom land.
In Stanley there are sixty-ive sec
tions within mile of the river which
are within the boundaries of small
irrigation plants. In Sully county
there are forty.five such sections.
This means that there is lis, 200 acres
of land within mile of the Missouri
which could be placed under irriga-
ton by small pumping plants. 70
this could be added many more acres
along the valleys of Cheyenne and
Bad rivers in Stanley county, with
the creeks tributary to those streams.
In Hughes county the valleys of
Medicine and Chapelle creeks could
furnish number more acres; and in
Sully county the Okobojo valley opens
up a large territory which could be
so worked through small dams along
the stream to hold the flood waters
in reserve.

APPRAISED IN TRACTS

The field force or the state land de-
partment, which is looking after the
classification of lands which are to
be leased for agricultural purposes
next spring, are making Topographic
cal plats, down to ten acre tracts
where the forty acre tracts are not
such as to be completely available
for agricultural purposes. This phase
of the work is being pushed by the
department so far as the land in the
territory to be covered in agricultural
iesses are concerned, " it'll tie view few
ofultimately placing such Topographic
cal plats of all the lands owned by
the state. in the department. This

THE CANADIAN VIEW POINT

1t may be asserted-and no one
will really challenge the statement
that the Minnesota and N orth Dakota
farmer, on the average, gets at least
10 cents d bushel more for his wheat
than the Manitoba farmer does. Nor
is there any real conflict of opinion
as to the reason for this difference in
price.
The Canadian price is fixed by the
price in the Liverpool market, less
the handling and carrying.
The United States price is deter
mined by the competition of the Unit
ed States mills for hard spring wheat,
an insufficient quantity of which is
grown to meet their demands.
Beerbohm's reports of London
show that for the last six years not
a single cargo of American hard
spring wheat has arrived in England.
Hard wheat prices in Canada are
therefore export prices. Those in the
United States are the prices fixed by
o brisk home demand and an INSULT
cent supply.
AS Senator Gronna said in his
speech in the United States Senate:
Canadian wheat will displace a
large part of the winter wheat which
is now mixed with the Northwestern
hard wheat for milling purposes, and
the states producing winter wheat
will be compelled to find a market
for most of the product abroad, in
stead of exporting only the surplus
as at present. Winnipeg Free Press.
