there will be as much cotton
planted this as last year, though
there will be more diversifying
farming. It is a hard matter to
throw off the habit of raising
the fleecy staple. 1t will take
time to revise planting in this
cotton growing country. Be-
sides, it is believed that the cold
winter has exterminated billions
of the boil wevills. All live in
hopes of a splendid crop year.
If advice would accomplish the
end, there is nothing lacking,
especially the cotton crop.
People may feel pinched on ac.
countzof the short prices for last
years cotton, but this country is
not in such a bad fix after all.

RECORD CROPS.

Reports from the eastern part Of the
state are to the effect that the biggest
crop ever produced in South Dakota will
be harvested this year. From the Min
nesota line to the Missouri River condi.

form of a revival of industrial activity
and renewed confidence on the part OF
the people.
