e. B. Wiley this week sold his farm
three miles northeast Of the city to G..
Huchindorf of Sioux City. The con-
sideration for the 800 acres was $4O,-
600, or 1925 an acre, making it the
highest priced half-section V @ sold in
this county. The deal was closed by
II. G. Williams, who has to his credit
some of the best and highest priced
land deals of the year. The farm is
n of the finest in the country and
easily worth the money and it is safe
to say it will go to $3.50 an acre with
in two years. Mr.. Huchindorf will
move here in the spring with his fam
lily to make their permanent home. He
has eight children and the Opportun-
ity to educate them at the State Col
lege was the principal reason for his
purchase. Mr.. and Mrs. Wiley have
not been enjoying good health of late
and may seek another climate.
Realizing the great need of definite
information about the concrete making
qualities of South Dakota sand and
gravel the department of experimental
engineering of the State College is
undertaking an investigation of these
materials and desires thes co-opera-
ton of all those interested in such an
Investigation. 1t is aimed to make
the tests of such a nature that as
many as possible may be repeated by
the concrete user himself when he
feels the need of 81 doing. To make
the investigation of as wide and gen
eral value as possible anyone who
has such materials is invited to send
samples for such tests. There will be
no charge for such work. Before
sending samples kindly write to the
Experimental Engineering of the State
College at Brookings, when full direc-
will be given and shipping tags
sent.
