FAR TRAVELLED DEETS
FINDS CROP OUTLOOK
BEST IN MANY YEARS
immigration Commissioner
Makes Careful and General
Survey of Conditions.

Pierre, s. D., March 18.-John D.
Deets. state immigration commissioner
has, during the past three months,
Travelled extensively in every part OF
South Dakota, and has made 1t his
business to find out conditions as they
actually are and he reports that there
is a very widespread optimism among
all classes concerning the future. most
people regarding the partial crop fall
ure Of last veal as q case of darkest
before dawn"
This good hope for the coming sea-
son has been expressed in many ways.
Throughout the state there promises
to be the largest area in crop ever
sown. In the trans-Missouri country,
which was struck hardest by last years
hot winds, the applications for county
distribution Of seed grain has amount
ed to thousands Of dollars in every
county. Even last fall thousands of
acres Of winter wheat was put In.
which is reported to be in a most dour-
fishing condition, and last year many
OF those with faith in the country con-
tinued to cultivate their dry helds
throughout the summer, knowing that
they would be In better shape to liar
Dor the moisture when it came. In some
Va tbS SoolCih SouIllCS bC"
enterprises have mad ready for the
intensified cultivation thousands OF
acres Of wet lands. For instance, in
the Vermillion valley, directly above
the town, the ditch has been construct
ed. at a cost of s31 per acre assessed
against the and drained, a sum per
acre much larger than bonding COM
panies usually will make bid for.
This drainage will increase the value
of the and from nil to 500 per acre.
Irrigation has taken hold Of central
South Dakota in a wonderful name
and the'c coming season will see at least
5000 acres of new and under water,
accompanying which will be the estab-
lishment of pickle factories and can
neries. G. l.. Millett, OF Fort Pierre,
the pioneer in this work, says that
there are 200, 900 acres in Stanley and
100, 1000 in Hughes and Sully, which can
be irrigated.
In the four days, March II to IA. the
state engineers office granted permits
to irrigate 964.47 acres from the Bad
and White rivers to fou different par
ties, and this RECORD is nothing unusual.
The state will construct a 500, 900 build
ing at Brookings and one to cost $780, 900
at Aberdeen. The s. e. S. packing house
will begin the building Of a mammoth
plant at Sioux Falls costing ultimately
over 1000. 900. There is a general con-
struction of smaller buildings.
In January the third state conserva-
ton congress instilled the gospel Of
