VALUE OF SOIL SURVEYS.

In a report to Secretary Wilson
Prof. Milton Whitney, chief of the
bureau Of soils, on the value of the
soil survey says in part:
1.-The soil surveys are Of value to
railroads in giving reliable and inn
partial information with regard to the
soils and agricultural possibilities of
the territory through which the lines
run; in showing them lines of agri-
cultural development which they can
foster for the fuller development of
the country and the increase of their
own revenues.
1.-THE surveys are of value to real
estate companies in that they give an
impartial n authoritative basis for
dealing in lands, which can be obtain
ed in no other way. They tend to
steady business and prevent unjust
and unlawful speculation.
The surveys are of value to colon
ization organizations, as we'll as to the
railways, in furnishing exact and re-
liable bases for the intelligent settle
ment of communities, particularly in
placing the large number of farmers
reaching our shores from foreign
countries through the immigration
service. These people are particularly
in need of reliable information regard
ing localities where they can settle
and take up agricultural industries
with which they are reasonably fami-
liar. The farmers Of southern ItaIy.
or northern Italy, of France, Germany.
Sweden, Holland, Ireland, and other
countries have certain traits and char
acteristlcs and have acquired habits
and ~adaptabilities which can be sue
cessfully applied to certain soil types
and certain conditions and are likely to
be unsuccessful unless these conditions
are approximately fulfilled.
The soil surveys are OF value to the
farmer in many ways. They give him
first of all an accurate and impartial
description of his soils, thus enabling
a direct comparison with the soils of
other localities. They show what NAV
be expected of the soil when intelli-
gently cultivated, the roper crops to
plant, and the possibilities of adoptinp
on their farms crops and methods of
culture that have been successfully
inaugurated in other localities with
similar soils. They give him an ad-
vantage in dealing with other indi-
viduals and with real estate compa-
MES in h sale of his land. They
give him and his sons the advantage
of more specific training in the agri-
cultural schools n universities. They
give him certain advantages of knowl-
edge in purchasing lands from the
railroads and business organizations.
which consideration is often required
IN the building up of new agricultural
enterprises. They give him an adj
vantage in dealing with financial in
stifutions in securing loans, and An
ally they aid him in securing more in
telligent and more competent labor.
The surveys are also invaluable for
anyone selecting a farm in a locality
with which he is not personally ac-
| ~quainted."

CLARA OLSON

SEVENTEENTH ANNUAL COL

AIS AWARDED BY WORST.

The seventeenth annual college de-
clamatory contest was held at the agri-
cultural college last evening and 1t was
a great success.
The contest was won by Clara Olson
her subject being, The Sioux Chiefs
Daughter. She delivered the declama-
ton in a very pleasing style and there
was no doubt in the minds Of anyone
but what she would take first prize.
Second place was earned easily by
Vernon Arvold with the subject, The
Crown of Thorns and the Cross of
Gold. His delivery was especially
good and his subject appealed to many
as being the best of the five. Wallace
Manikowske presented the only hum
orous defamation, Mark Twain and
the Interviewer, which was well receiv-
ed by the large audience. The two
remaining contestants were Addie
Stafford and Marion Cox, the former
giving a very pathetic defamation,
How the Gospel Saved Jim Oak, and

The winners of first and second were
presented with gold and silver medals
by President Worst after a fitting pre-

THE GLACIER OF MONTANA.

Sioux Falls Daily Press: Libby,
Worthwhile the scenery in the Che
Ian country has caused that section to
be called the Switzerland Of America,
because of the Yellowstone National
park with its fame and the Glacier
National park just coming in fame,
but little is known Of the Granite lake
and BLACKWELL glacier country, situ-
ated about sixteen miles south Of
Libby. In the Cabinet mountains,
which, when opened up will become
one of Americas grandest scenic at
fractions.
Granite lake is a marvel OF beauty,
being an oblong body OF water about
one mile in length, Surrounded by
towering mountains. some of them
steep with rocky crags and others
covered with beautiful evergreen foli-
age, while Blackwell glacier has those
features that go to make a glacier i'm
teresting, not only to the sightseer,
but to the student as well.
While Granite lake is but sixteen
miles from Libby and Blackwell glacier
about twenty, there are but few people
even in Libby who have visited the
glacier. 1t is doubtful il there are over
fifty people in the United States that
have ever seen the glacier, although
it is not considered difficult to reach.
Ton account Of this wonderful section
being in the national forest il Is
thought by many that the government
may some day make q national park
out of it.
Libby is on the main line of the
Great Northern and Granite lake Is
reached from Libby by wagon road
and train. The wagon road extends
about eleven miles, and from that
place a good trail reaches to the lake.
The trail was constructed three years
ago by the forestry service. Previous
to that time 1t was difficult to reach
the lake. During the past summer the
forestry service built q substantial
cabin at the lake at which any one can
stay. Getting to the lake and glacier
because Of the building Of the trail has
become so easy that q guide is not
necessary.
One particularly noticeable feature
Of Granite lake is its trout fishing. II
Is said the waters are alive with the
speckled beauties. and some almost
u-nbelievabIe catches have been made
BY parties during the past two snf1-
naers. The fish are not large and will
