Above Any Previo ous|
Record.
AVERAGE IS $52 .O3
Some Tracts Went Above $1ooi
an Acre Strictly on
Their Merits.

Pierre, s. D.-The State land de-
partment has completed Its ofIer-
ings OF state school lands for this
year, and while the acreage sold was
not SO large as for last year, the ay-
erage price secured was far shove
that Of any other year In which
sales are made. The sales reached
1s,o07 acres. bringing total OF
$9S9,052 to the fund, OF which
twenty-five per cent must be paid
in cash. However many OF the pur-
chasers paid the full amount, and
the permanent fund will belin shape
to supply demands for many loans
pending.
By counties the sales were:
Dawson, 2200 acres at an average
of $54.30. II
Hanson, 1885 acres with an aver
age Of s56.54. III
Hutchinson. 21ss acres, average
$54.ss.
codington, s1ss acres, average.

Hamlin, 41so acres, average
$54.s3. III
Day 14ss acres, average q
Brown, 759 acres, average s5e.ss.
This makes the general average
for the state $52.O3. MOST OF this
land was purchased by owners. Of
adjacent tracts, and bought on what
they considered to be the actual
value OF the land to them for farna-s
ing purposes, and it was not specu-
latiye buying. Some Of the TRACTS
went above 800 an acre. At such
prices the school fund Of the state
will run into many millions more
than the founders of the state ever
dreamed of when they placed q min
imum selling price of ten dollars an
acre on such lands.

CROP ACREAGE IS
REPORTED GROWING
IN MISSOURI RIVER VALLEY
NORTH OF PIERRE TRACTION
ENGINES ARE LARGELY
USED TO AID IN FARMING d
-, y y - i
OPERATIONS.

Pierre, S. D.-Farmers from the
Missouri valley country north OF
here report putting in much larg-
er acreage of crops OF all kinds this
year than for any former year. This
has been brought about In large mea-
sure by the use Of traction plows
which can handle a much larger
acreage in less time than by the
use of horses alone. One Of the
farms in Sully county which makes
the greatest possible use of the trac-
ton engine is the Pitlick farm in the
western part of that county. They
have already put in half section of
wheat and are continuing the seed
ing of small grain of different kinds,
land expect to put in two thousand
acres of crop this year, about half
corn. While they use number of
horses their traction engine is their
main motive power. In cutting their
grain last fall, they hitched binder
and plows both to the engine, and
did their fall p1owing at the same
time they cut their grain, throwing
the bundles from the machine and
shocking them on plowed ground,
and one going over Of the field left
it in shape for spring seeding. That
farm is eyof the many in sully and
Hughes counties which is doing most
of the heavy work with traction
engine, and nearly every farmer who
lis handling any large area Of farm
land is doing it in similar manner.
While many farmers were waiting
for rain before rushing their seeding
work, the moisture of last week has
started them going, and every plow
or drag is being pu1 busy to get In!
the desired acreage, as the ground
is in first class shape to start the seed,
for this spring.

WELFARE SUBJECT
OF DEBATE IN CONGRESS

Washington, D. C.-Opening ar
guments for and against the Canad-
ian reciprocity bill were made in the
house in two striking speeches.
Claud Kitchin of North Carolina, one
of the leading democratic speakers,
addressed the house for three hours
/, in favor of the measure, arraigning
the republican argument of protec-
tion for farmers and characterizing
it as "humbug."
Following him, Asher C. Kinds of
Maine, for 16 years parliamentary
clerk of the house, made his first
speech as member of that body and
aligned himself in opposition to the
treaty in an address devoted to the
welfare of the farmers of the nation.
The reciprocity treaty he said
threatened national prosperity in
threatening to take away from farm
ing communities the protection to
their products necessary to their
continued prosperity and develop
ment.
1t was day full OF interesting de-
bate and incident. Kitchin, skillful
in repartee, drew frequent Interrupt
tions from the republican side and
kept the house in turmoil. He paced
up and down the main aisle of the
house arraigning the leaders on the
republican side who have fought for
the protective principle. paying par
ticuular attention to Representative
Dalzel of Pennsylvania. He pictured
Taft as coming to the democrats on
bended knees to solicit their sup
port. The success of the president s
move for reciprocity with Canada de-
pended upon the democrats, he said.
