The farming areas Of North and
South Dakota, and these include
almost the total acreage of the
two states, are the richest agri-
cultural landst in the world.
Facts will bear out the statement
In the early days Of immigrant
ion to the new Northwest, the
homesteaders went out onto vir-
gin prairics, covered with bunch
grass and they saw countless
thousands Of buffalo, fattening
on this nutritious food. They
said, these are the lands for
stock cattle, better for grazing
than anything else,-and forth.
with they turned the cattle in
to range the hills and when mar
ket time came, the stock from
these drew all the prizes and
were the wonder of the country.
As the white settlers came in

drew, retreating before advanc
ing civilization. True, the Indians
did not give up their ancient
domain without struggle, and
Dakota pioneers can tell many
a thrilling story of Indian raids
and bloody battles and tho cat
