STANLEY COUNTY
MASS OF GREEN
ALL CROPS IN SPLENDID CONDI-
II0N ABOUT BELENiDEItE-
ALFALFA SOON TO BE
Ciri.

Belvidcrc. S. D.-rror the last two
or three years the people have been
used to say: at never rains in stan
ley county" This spring several rains
have put that old bogy to sleep for
good. This country begins TO look
like older settlements farther east.
Belvidere is the Midway" on the
c.. M. & st. p. between Chamberlain
and Rapid City, Il thriving little town
with a steadily growing population.
The Prairie Lake adjoining the town
limits ON the north side is Il valuable
asset to this place. This is one rea-
son BelViderc has become an ideal
summer resort for the tourist or tray
.eler. The several hundred trees plant
ed three or four years ago along the
lake shore are already large enough
to make the landscape beautiful. The
fishing season is now on and everv-
one who can spare the time seems to
take advantage of the sport. Farm
ers for miles away take an afternoon
or evening 10 share in this abundant
crop. Five years ago the government
stocked this lake with several varie-
ties and bass are now caught weigh
ing up to three and four pounds.
The ground is thoroughly soaked
and farmers are still busily engaged
putting in all the crop possible.
Men and mules are all busy to the
limit. Oats and winter wheat stand
healthy and strong. Early corn
is up and looking fine and quite an
acreage is being put in around here.
Alfalfa is making people sit up and
take notice and in a week or two
will be ready for first cutting. The
hay crop is assured the best seer for
several years. The people who had
to leave for greener pastures Will
now discover Il great change and it
will not surprise many here to see
those that left come back and others
to take hold OF the opportunities that
await the progressive agriculturist.
Tho good road spirit took hold
here properly and roads west and
east of this place are all in fine order.
A two thousand dollar steel bridge
across the Brove Bull creek three
miles east ON the Scenic Highway is
now under construction and will be
ready in Il month or so.
\ good soaker visited this place
this week and will be placed to the
credit of Mr.. June for 1913.
