STATE PRIMARY
e

The primary law. which was ex-
pected to cure all the errors of hu-
manity in regard to elections, needs
adjustment Of some kind, because
several cylinders are missing. Our
state law provides for a primary
election June 9th. among other
things to select delegates to the
national conventions. The republl-
al convention is called for June 2.
How to get around this and have
time to select delegates is bothering
the statesmen, Of course some way
will he figured out. but in passing it
may be doubted if there are a 100
men in the state really satisfied with
any of the different primaries South
Dakota has tried. They have been
costly experiments.

FARMS TO
RENT IN HAND CO..

The demand for farms to rent has
been greater this fall than for five
years. The misfortune of 1t is that
the extra farms are not here to
rent. hence Hand county loses a
number of new settlers.
There are plenty Of quarters, half
sections and sections Of land that
would make splendid farms, but
they have no buildings. Many
of these pieces OF land are
partly cultivated, depending up
on n~eighbors to farm them. And
the neighboring farmers drive from
one to five miles from their homes
to put these extra pieces into CROP
after they have put in everything
on their own farms.
Is it strange if the owner of the
land and the farmer are not often
satisfied with the returns?
What Hand county needs is an
era of building upon her vacant
lands. which would be followed i'm
mediately by an influx Of good rent
ers. increase the county's production
and add many families to the popu-
lation.

South Dako,a Land

Tulare, S. D.. Dec. 27.-Miller
Press: Inclosed find check for sub.
scription for So,
Myself, wife and three children
have just returned from a trip to
California, where we took in both
the San Francisco and San Diego
fairs. We had a splendid trip. and
arrived home last Sunday.
The Frisco fair was just fine. I
don't think it could be beat. Some
say it was better than the London
fair. and | think it was better than
the Chicago fair. l was there al
most two weeks and we we're at San
Francisco almost two weeks. The
San Diego fair isn't SO good. Their
grounds are fine and flower gardens
beautiful. We had a fine trip. and
enjoyed it very much. made three
trips across Sacramento Valley, the
heart of California. as they call it:
but didn't see anything in the
farm line | wanted to buy. When
it comes to farming we are lots the
best state. Their ground seems to
pillow awful hard in most places.
They use 6, 8 and even, 10 horses on
a gang. and for this same land they
are asking all the way from $3.50 to
$500 per acre, and it isn't near as
good as u own right here in Hand
county. 1t is a good place for a
farmer to spend money but a hard
place for him to make 1T.
Yours truly.
