A historical survey traces South Dakota from the 1879 86 Dakota boom through statehood in 1889 to World War I era prosperity. It notes land rushes, railroads, climate shifts, hard times and droughts, rising wealth, and per capita wealth leaders, with figures on production, bank deposits, and population growth.
The Black Hills have long relied on mining with 800 percent posits rise, annual mineral output over 7 million dollars in gold and more than one million in other minerals. Since 1875 mining shaped the region, with historic rushes to Lead and Deadwood memories of eggs sold for ten dollars and flour at hundreds per sack. Homestake Mine sits peacefully now as 210 million dollars mined in 44 years. South Dakotans now own enough cars to match state population.
A fragment argues that children are neglected compared with prized animals, fearing it seeds tramp and vice culture. It laments lack of care for youths and cites a recruitment note from the Brotherhood of American Yeoman, inviting deputies in Isseton, South Dakota.
South Dakota sits in the corn belt and shifts from wheat to corn, with last year showing 370 million more bushels of corn than wheat. The state shipped 400000 more cattle and swine for slaughter than 1917, hogs averaging 25 pounds heavier, and about 820900 sheep remain, with hogs far outnumbering sheep. The bulletin is near press, issued under cooperative editorial direction of the immigration commissioner, the railroads, and the State College.
