Nearly 80 years ago I filed a pre-
emption claim of 100 acres Of beauti-
eul land east Of Rapid City. Accord
Ing to my view. It was admirably
adapted in every way for farming and
the making Of a permanent home. I
knew nothing OF arid lands and when
told by stockmen that this vas not q
farming country. thought that their
advice wal given from selfish motives.
because they abhorred settlers and IN
every way tried to discourage en-
thusiasts from making It q farming
country.

These homesteaders in Butte county
remained long enough to enact and
enforce the herd law. Range stock
have disappeared. The settlers have
followed them. In a three days drive
I saw gress enough to feed and fatten
q million head Of stock. but not stock
enough to equip nj good farm. This
yea grass growing luxur1antly every
where while you can drive 20 miles
without seeing an animal. I would by
no means favor giving all this magni-
ficent range back to the stockmen with
out recompense. but these rich pasture
lands should be utilized for the produce
