In the last issue of the Press
we were in error as to the date

At that time Mr.. Granger will

tly purchased additional high class

FARMERS TO CUT
DOWN ACREAGE.

Pierre, April 6.-Special: Two fea-
lures of farm operations in this
state appear to be coming to the
front for consideration. One. of
these is he expressed intention of
a number of farmers from all sec
tions of the state to cut down
their acreage to the point where
they can handle it themselves, and
not depend on farm help. This
not nearly so much on account of
the prices asked for the work, as
to the fact that when men are Sc
cured they do not show any incli-
nation in many cases to help out
in the stress of farm work which
comes on every farm at some time
in a year, to make up for the
Stacked work of another time
The help wants to work on so
many hours day, regardless of
the imperative demands of nature
in handling crops.
The other feature is in the fact
that in the newer country in he
central part of the stae, it is esti-
mated by county agents and other
who have knowledge of the stu
alton that there will be a twenty
five per cent increase in crop acr-
cage this year. While these two
facts apparently do not harmon
ize, the lack is apparently only on
the surface. This increase comes
from the opening up of new farms
on the part of men who sold out
farther east and came farther
west to buy raw land at cheaper
price than they sold, and they are
putting in what they can handle.
Another feature is that practical
ly all of this new acreage is to be
planted to flax or fodder crops, and
will affect only the corn situation
so far as grains are concerned.

CUSTER BATTLEFIELD HIWAY
TO COME BY WAY OF
COTTONWOOD

Cottonwood Republican,: Word
was received here the fore part
of the week that the directors of
the Custer Battlefield Hiway As
sociation, which met at Sheridan
Wyoming, on Monday had decided
TO locate the highway along the
Black and Yellow Trail from Cot
tonwood TO Rapid City branching
off from Kadoka TO Cottonwood.
This news will be joyfully received
by people all along this line who
have used every effort to bring
this about. 1t is especially graft
flying to the people Of Cottonwood
and vicinity as it assures them
good highway to Kadoka, the cou-
nty seat.
1t is almost certain that work
will be done on this roue at an
arly date and that the next year
will see some remarkahlo improve
ments especially in this locality.
Aside from the convenience Of
good road to the county seat, il
will mean more tourist travel thru
here than ever before, IN fact
more than most people realize.
Coming as it does from Omaha
to Sioux City, the Custer Battle
field Hiway is sure to catch more
of the eastern travellers than any
other route. Being at the june
ton of this highway and the Black
and Yellow, Cottonwood stands to
benefit more from the location Of
the highway over this route than
any other town. Let the business
men Of the town and the people
of the surrounding country see
that nothing is left undone on
their part to bring to the com
munity all the benefits that may
be derived from it,

SEES $3.50 GROW TO $4,000

Sioux Falls. s. D., April 4 Spec
ial: r. b. Koenigsberg, formerly
a farmer of the Steamboat Rock
district. of Iowa, saw $3.50 grow to
nearly $4,000 in a period of eleven
years.
Eleven years ago he came from
Iowa and located on a Grant cou-
nty farm, which he purchased on
time. His sole capital in cash con-
sisted of 1850 Koenigsberg gave a
note for the full purchase price of
the farm, the consideration being
$4,000 for the 100 acres.
The other day koenigsberg sold
the farm and an adjoining one for
trifle less than $4,000. When
he located on the farm his wife
and children aided him so far as
possible with the farm work, and
by close attention to the work of
the farm they prospered greatly
year by year. When he had accu-
mulated some ready cash he .pur-
chased the adjacent farm for $45
an acre. The two quarters now
have been sold at a rate of S2l5
an acre.
AT this price was included the
cattle, hogs, machinery, feed, hay,
seed grain, fencing and, in fact,
everything on the place just as it
stands. The invoice of all this
personal property amounted to
S38,9S3.
When Koenigsberg located on
his first farm, neighbors told him
he never could pay for it, and that
he was certain to go broke"
