From all parts of (irant and Rob

intelligence in regard to the crops.
Small 41 a in looks uncommonly well,
and the weather could not be more
favorable for its nurturing than it
now is. Corn is backward, as is usu
ally the case in a good wheat year,
but as wheat is by far the most im
portant crop to this section of the
country at the present time, a small
corn crop would be of little conse
quence comparatively speaking. As
the months of July ami August main
ly determine the success of con. there
is every reason to hope that even this
may bo a fair crop, and it will always
pay farnrersto work it properly, with
a view to* giving it a fair chance when
the time comes. On the whole, far
mers and all have good reasons to feel
buoyant over the outlook, but it is
also well to temper our hopes Mith a
little reserve for unexpected vicissi
tudes. ______

A permanent executive committee
was appointed of one member from
each county nearly, to carry out the
wishes of the convention as expressed
in the resolutions. These provide for
a delegate convention to be held at
Sioux Falls Tuesday, September 4,
1883. Said convention shall consist
of 1S5 delegates elected by the res

Aug. 1, 1883. Said election shall be

The delegate eon\entior» which
meets at Sioux Falls Sept. 4, slwill af

The farmers
of Dakota have
future ltefure thWD if they «.«••»*•
advantage o thel, (mnd o^rtunl-1
tie*. In the llrst place there must be
cultivated a deeper respect for the
calling of theagricuUufUt. The farm
er mu»t take a |»rlde in his busi
ness and look upon himself aa an
important factor entering into the
problem of political economy. Kvury
lanuer ehould be» and the day is uot
far distant when the proprietor of
nearly every farm will be a scUMtUt,
the rudimentary principles of chemla
trv should enter into the primary ed
ucation of every farmer's child.
Farming to-day is in Its infancy.
There are three kinds of farming we
have the common farmer the fancy
farmer, who follows the business for
pleasure and the scientific business
man farmer. The tirst are a plodding,
hard working class of men, but they
alhnv their intellect to become rusty,
and weakened by hard manual labor
until they become mere machines, the
common victim of sharpers, and mort
gages, until between work and worry
he drops into his grave, almost from
the plow handle.
The second is a class of men who
farm merely for pleasure, and their
amusement usually costs them some
money unless they stick to it long
enough to discover and applly practic
al business rules to their operations.
But when this is done they belong to
the class of business-men farmers.
The last class poken of are perhaps
the most useful men to. their posterity
than any other class or profession,
and it is to the growth of their meth
od* and numbers that we must look
for the elevation of the profession of
American farming* They are the
men who are advancing the business
of farming. They seldom give a
mortgage or owe a debt they are un
able to pay off hand. The merchant
is glad to see liiiu enter his store be
cause he knows he will transact busi
ness in a business like way, pay for
what he gets and not buy what he
don't want or need just because it is
cheap. He respects the man for his
intellect and good sense always com
mands respect. If he has not the
means of farming 300 acres he does
try but only attempts to do that which
he can do well. He is a careful read
er and devotes at least two hours a day
to the perusal of some leading dailj,
and you will always find him well
posted in the affairs of the world and
progressive 011 his farm. He goes of
ten among men that his mind may ex
pand and feed on the ideas of others
and his farm and bank account feel
effects of his progression. He is a
good neighbor a genial friend and an
honest politeian, and the Lord knows
we need more of them. He may be a
close figurer and has to be. but he sel
dom pinches the purse in the wroog
place. He will never refuse to fur
nish his wife with help, nor leave his
plow and harvester just where they
stopped work, to suffer roui the action
of the elements until they are wanted
the next season. If he hadn't money
enough to own a team of horses he
makes oxen do until he has the money
to pay for horses and then buys them
twenty.five per cent cheaper than the
man who gives the mortgage. He tills
every inch of his farm to the liest ad
vantage and makes all there is in it.
In far t, he is intelligent and pro
gressive and makes his calling respect
This is the plan on which successful
American farming must, in the near
future, stand. iTiintellectual, care
less farming means the fallibg of the
farm into the mortgage drag-net,
which moves like an evil phantom ov
er our rich country, gobbling up vic
tim after victim who does not realize
that a good iruii-elad mortgage can
draw more out of him than a four
horse team can draw in for him—Re
