Cherry county and having ex
perience in the mercantile busi

A and being easier to handle
pays him to bale his hay before
[ miling to market.
Herman Zickrick and three of
liis neighbors of Westover , S. D. ,
wore down the latter part of last
wpok getting loads of provisions ,
vegetables and potatoes which they i

to supply her own citizens and feed
the western half of South Dakota.
(
Valentine is the central trading !
point for Rosebud reservation and
Chorry county.
D. D. Dunn is prospering since
his return to Cherry county and
has bought two quarter sections of
land with the profits of a couple of
years work , farming Cherry coun
ty land , on which he raises corn , !
oatwheat and potatoes for sale ,
and all the garden truck that he
could raise on an eastern farm.
Cherry county land is all right and
will produce something besides
grass and stoers when a man farms
as eastern farmers do. There is
a splendid opportunity for dairy
ing in Cherry county. Alfalfa
grows where-ever it has been tried.
