Large Increased Crop
Acreage In Sioux Co.
Thousands Of Acres Will be Cropp I'D to
Flax and Other Small Grain in Sioux
County This Season

There will be a large increase in
the crop acreage in Sioux county
this year over last. Present indi-
cations are very favorable for a crop,
as there is abundant moisture in
the ground now to give grain a fair
start, and on the whole prospects. at
this season could not be more pro.
missing.
There will be thousands of acres
Of new land broke and cropped to
flax this spring in Sioux county.
Most of the breaking will be done
by parties who have leased Indian
land for farming purposes, the
leases running from 800 acres to
several sections. The amount Of
land, however, that will be plowed
and seeded, will in a large degree
depend on how soon operations will
begin.
j. the present favorable weather
continues it is possible that some
breaking rigs may be in the field
next week. In other places the ex-
cess of moisture will be bar to
heavy traction rigs for some time
to come, on account Of the ground
being too soft for the heavy rigs.
The Indians also plan to farm
quite extensively this season, and
the acreage cultivated by our red
brother will be considerably larger
than ever before. The government
have two large traction plowing rigs
which will be put in operation as
soon as possible, and breaking will
be done on individual Indian aliot-
ments. 1t is understood that fields
Of 20 acres will be broken on allot-
ments belonging to Indians that
have no land under cultivation.
The. homesteaders who filed on
the reservation last year will also
have to crop a certain portion Of
the agricultural land embraced in
their entry. 1t is safe to state that
rmore sod will be turned this season
in Sioux county than in any other
county in North or South Dakota.

Three Conditions Necessary. ~.

Such a peace, ii is argued, cannot
be expected unless these three con
conditions are fulfilled:
Existing causes of international
unrest shall be as far as possible re-
moved or weakened.
The aggressive aims and the un.
scrupulous methods OF the central
powers should fall into disrepute
among their own peoples.
Finally, that behind international
law and behind all treaty arrange.
ments for preventing or limiting hos.
uliues. some form of international
sanction should be devised which
would give pause to the hardest az.
gressor.
lt Is recognized that these con.
ditions may be difficult of fulfillment.
but the belief is expressed that they
are general in harmony with Presi.
