The lntrease Of Alfalfa

In 1910 the government census
showed 155 acres Of alfalfa in Brown
county, this state. In 1911 there
were $50 acres, in 1912 it had reach
ed LOO acres, $500 in 1918.
and in 1914. that county has
100 acres sown to alfalfa. Other
counties of the state have also in
creased. perhaps not as rapidly as
Brown. but all indicate a healthy
increase during the past three or
four years.
1t Is certain that with the general
interest now manifested in this deep
root feed plant. 1915 will show the
greatess single year increase the
state has ever known. Just WHY it
has taken so long to create a gener-
al interest in the growth of alfalfa
in South Dakota counties east of the
Missouri river is a mystery. Per.
haps 1t was due to indifferent sue.
cess Of the first efforts. the Excess
sive cost Of seed, etc, but time and
patience has demonstrated that it
can be successfully grown. Exper-
fence has also demonstrated it's
value. which makes the first seed ex-
pense q minor factor. At any rate
it looks now as if many of South
Dakota'e old wheat fields will he
turned into alfalfa fields, with the
consequent permanent increase of
land values experienced wherever it
is grown.

Increase In Land Prices

What is probably the record price
paid for land in South Dakota was
reached last week when an improved

vile sold for $l77 per acre.
Another sale is reported near Ar
lingtcn in which a farm with only
moderate improvements sold for
$l44 per acre, while another in
BrookinRs county consisting of l6o
acres sold for $11O.
These prices put eastern South

al to expect this raise in values will
