OUTLOOK is CHEERFUL,

Reports from nearly every section
of the state indicate that at some
time during the past ten days there
has been more or less rain or snow in
every county. The precipitation has
varied from small amount to good
showers or six inches Of snow on
leyel. This spring moisture puts the
ground in splendid shape for a big
crop and believes any anxiety that
might have been caused by the very
light snow fall of the winter.
The excellent crop prospects are re.
elected in the tone of business. Bank
ers from the smaller towns through
out the state who keep close tab on
the financial and Industrial situation
locally, report that farmers are feel
ing confident and are making con-
tracts for the future based on a bump
er crop expectancy. There is a most
hopeful tone to trade throughout the
state.
La few portions of the state last
year the precipitation was below nor
NAL but all feeling of uneasiness on
that account seems to have been dis
PEELED by the excellent prospects this
spring Districts which were rather
dry last year start out this spring
with plenty of moisture.
There is no let up to immigration
from the east into South Dakota
points. Thousands OF acres of new
land will be broken up in the western
part of the state and the crop acreage
will be greatly increased.
The prevailing high price for fax
has te.ptcd many owners Of raw
land to break it up and crop it with
lax and with favorable season this
crop will add enormously to the
wealth production of the state this
year. The area of raw land is de.
ereasine rapidly and in few years
there will be no opportunity to make
a stake in flax as has so often been
done in the past.
A summary of crop and trade con-
Qitions for the whole state shows
that never WIS South ID kota in such
good shape as at present for con-
tinuation of confidence and prosper-=
ity.

DON'T FORGET RAILROAD BLUFF

While the rate case was pending
the railroads conducted widespread
campaign of intimidation to prove
that an adverse decision would ruin
their credit and "bust" the country.
What actually happened?
Within AS hours of the decision
which absolutely denied their de-
mands Kuhn, Loeb & Co. announced
the sale of $50, O0O 900 of Central Paci
tic 4 per cent bonds to French syn
dictate.
A day>or two later Speyer & Co.
offered SO 100000 of st. Paul and
Ramsay City AZ per cent bonds in
in London. They were ''largely over
subscribed.
On the same day j. T. Morgan &
Co. sold $12, 500, 900 of Erie collater-
al gold notes.
Then the managers got together and
announced that the rate case would
be dropped.
Just keep this in mind the next
time big business puts up gorgeous
bluff.

ALFALFA SEED

The Legislature made provision,
March Srd, for limited trial in every
county in South Dakota of the new
alf;slfas which | brought over from
Russia and Siberia as Agriculture
Explorer for the United States De-
partment of Agriculture in my last
two trips to Siberia in 1906 and 1908.
This seed was widely scattered in
small lots in many states. Some of
the best of these new alfalfas have
| been started from spoonful of seed
so progress has been slow. We have
no seed to spare this year. A few
thousand one year old plants can be
spared this spring. A few plants
were sent oct last year and some
farmers averaged one-half ounce of
seed to the plant from plants set in
good garden soil far enough apart to
| permit of good cultivation.
My present belief is: % That We
can make a success of alfolfa culture
in every part or the state, (2) That
these new varieties will be proof
against winter-killing; (3) That some
of these alfalfas can be introduced as
wild plants on stony, rolling lands too
rough for cultivation.
Please remember: Land that that can
raise good alfalfa is worth One Humid
red Dollars, and more, per acre.
In a recent article in the Sioux
Falls Press | offered to send ten
plants free to the first ten applicants
in each county. Applicants should
describe the character of the soil and
state whether they wish the plants
for hay or pasture. Many applca-
tons have already been received
Applications received too late will be
placed on the waiting list for next
year.

EQUAL RATES TO ALL

The Interstate commerce commits
sion, backed by public opinion, has
accomplished one great reform that
will be of vast Importance in the flu
ture to consumers of coal, and that
means everyone, directly or indirect
ly. The commission has decided that
rates on coal, restricted to the use of
certain shippers and not open to all
shippers alike, are unlawful within
the meaning of the interstate COM
merce act. The railroads dealing in
coal have been charging less freight
to other railroads than to the public
for the same commodity between the
same points, and the commission in
it's decision said:
There are few commodities that
are not purchased and used directly
or indirectly by the railroads, and if
railroad were accorded special or.
favored rates as compared with other
shippers, determinations such as
cited would be injected into almost
every field of commerce and nearly
every locality of production or manu-
facture. '55s
The principle upon which the com-
mission based its decision Of equal
rates to all is founded upon the good
doctrine OF equal righta "a q z,

EN1 ERTAINlNc CROWD,

Rapid City, April 1o,-When it
comes to welding the glad hand
Rapid City can give most cities a
handicap and beat them under the
wire. At least that is the verdict of
the boosters, who in the few hours
they have been here have been loaded
down with attractions.
Since arriving shortly before 10
O'Clock this morning there has been
something doing every minute. The
city is full of cowboys and Indians,
and the rough riding events are of
the usual daredevil nature. The
government troops, which annually
have had part in the program, are
on the Mexican border and are great
ly missed.

FOUND WANDERING ON PRAIRIE

A small boy herding on the prairie
near Capa the past week found an old
man by the name of WEIGH wander
ing, evidently lost on the prairie,
clad only in night robe and slippers.
The day was damp and cold, and the
old man was almost exhausted, and
completely bewildered as to where he
was, and where he wanted to go to
get home. He was led to the home
of the boy and cared for until rela-
tives could be reached.

CRUDE Oil FOR FUEL.

The Fort Pierre Brick company is
experimenting witt! crude oil for fuel
in place of coal. 1t has burned on
kiln with this new fuel, and will give
it a second test in a kiln now about
ready to burn. While the test was
under new plan, the indications are
that they can use the oil as cheaper
fuel than coal and help reduce their
cost Of production.
