Mellette and Bennett counties, where
he went to select indemnity lands for
the state for the school sections taxi

acres on the Pine Ridge reservation.
to allow the Indians on that reserve
the amount of land they are entitled
to under the allotment rulings. and
iUnat there is not only no show for

coRN's NoRTHwARD MARCH

Sioux Falls Argus Leader; There
was time when even South Dakota
was regarded as too far north for the
successful growing of corn. But this
year the corn belt has moved far
north into North Dakota, which this
year has grown l0,ooo,o9o bushels of
corn, as compared with 1000, 600
bushels last year. Next year North
Dakota expects to double her corn
acreage over this year, while in
South Dakota long ago corn became
the staple crop. Ninety days is ample
for corn crop from the right kind of
seed, and the farmers are we'll edu-
Gated as to how to select seed.
