There is no unbelief;

There is no an belief:
Whoever plants seed beneath the sod,
And waits to see it push away the clod,
He trusts in God
Whoever says when clouds are in the sky,
BE patient, heart; light breaketh by and by
Trusts the Most High.
Whoever sees, meath winters fields OF snow,
The silent harvest of the future grow,
Gods power must know.
Whoever lies down uponihis couch to sleep,
Content to lock each sense in siumberAdeep p,
Knows God Will keep.
Whoever says, 'To- morrow" THE un-
known"
1.-The Future" trusts the power alone
He dares disown.
The heart that looks on when the eyelids
close,
And dares to live when life has only woes
Gods comfort knows.
There is no unbelief:
And day by day, and night, unconsciously,
The heart lives by that faith the lips deny
God knoweth why.

VEGETABLE STEW - Two pounds of

add two beets, peeled and cut in eighths,
three or four parsnips and carrots,
quartered, one small turnip, sliced rather
thick, and the slices cut in halves. When
the vegeta bles are nearly done add three

slowly; season with salt, pepper and sum

tendency with most of us to use more dishes
than necessary, both in cooking and serving.
One reason why like baked potatoes so
much is that l don't have to wash kettle
after cooking them. Do you all know that q
bit of dripping as large as a pea dropped on

Secured Big Returns
From Bad Land Soil

Rapid City Guide:-"Bad Land
soil" has been in the minds of many
people synonymous with worthless
ness, but Henry Hurley, living
five miles west OF Interior, evident
ly did not so regard it when this
week he sent to the Security Saving
Bank of this city check for S688-
SO, the proceeds from the sale OF
the alfalfa seed raised on 20 acres
of this land.
in addition to the sum represent
ed by the check, Mr.. Hurley OBJ
tained one crop of hay from the
land, and this is we'll worth s. so. 90;
besides this he kept for his own
use eight bushels cf alfalfa seed,
and figuring this at the same price
at which he sold the other it was
worth $500, so that the total re-
ceipts fromlhe twenty acres amount
ed to S8o6.46 or an average of
S44 81 an acre.
1t would be hard for any one to
convince Mr.. Hurley that South
Dakota land-even the Bad Land
soils not worth owning and cul-
tivating, and his experience is be-
ing duplicated in varying degrees
by hundreds of other men in west
ern South Dakota. To the average
traveller it might not seem so pros
porous in some sections, but to any
one who is acquainted with the
country, with conditions and with
the people the prosperity Is plainly
evident. Hundreds of men who
five years ago were ready to leave
the country following the disastrous
year OF 1911, but who were unable
to get away, are now glad that they
could not, for they are making
money, not only from their farming
operations and from their alfalfa.
but from the cattle which practic-
ally every one now owns
Western South Dakota is full of
opportunities. and people further
east are commencing 10 realize this
fact As soor as II is fully realiz-
ed there will be an influx Of these e
people TO secure the land which can
be bought here 50 cheapiy at pres
ent, and when this is done YOU will

ent time seems incredible to many

ton can not compare with the con-

Should Have SOilSurVey

South Dakota's greatest resource
is her soil. Out of the soil comes
the wealth OF the state. AS long
as the soil holds out South Dakota
will prosper, when the soil fails
South Dakota fails.
When a certain flour barrel con-
tinued to furnish flour in time OF
famine even though there was no
flour put into it, the event was so
unusual and so miraculous that the
account Of it was recorded i'll the
Bible and has come down to us
through thousands of wears Of his
ory.
The soil supplies the plant food
that is used by the crops. The
supply in the soil is limited and is
being reduced every year. Every
one knows that new land produces
better than old land that has been
heavily cropped. This is because
the crops are removing the plant
food from the soils The time of
miracles has apparently gone by.
At least there is no sign OF any
miraculous replenishment OF the
plant food supply in the soil, when
some of the elements have disap-
peared at the rate of nearly one per
cent per year since farming began
in South Dakota. Mathematics -
in fact every elementary arithmetic
shows that TO be true.
a small leak will sink a great
ship" but there is great leaking
of plant food out of Dakota soil.
This will eventually sink US all un-
less we look after it. The sooner
we look the less it will cost US. 1t
will cost us a nickel per quarter
section OF land per year if we be-
gin to look now, and this nickel
Will return many times its value
in increased crops.
Farmers of South Dakota, it you
want 10 know the facts about your
soil and SO be able 10 farm on a
sound basis, it is up TO you TO
have five cents per quarter section
per year set aside for state wide
soil and crop survey This is the
biggest nickel you can spend. j.
