except the dividend and you folks who 

 think Henry Ford is the originator of 

 man's humanity to man have another 

 guess coming. This company has al- 

 ways been close to its employees; not 

 a labor dividend proposition, but a per- 

 sonal interest affair. This company as- 

 sumes that a man will be a better man 

 if he owns his home. They don't give 

 him a home, but they fix it so he can 

 get it at a reasonable price, and pro- 

 tect him, and a finer bunch of help you 

 never saw, every one of them vitally 

 interested in the business. Then they 

 have an annual picnic. Anybody inter- 

 ested in any way with the comjwajr 

 goes and the company pays all ex- 

 penses. There may be some differences 

 of opinion and some trouble there, but 

 they do not show to a visitor. 



' ' I wish I could visit every seed house 

 in Iowa, but Sioux Falls, S. D., was a 

 town I wanted to see, and Jones was 

 the first man I met. He is evidently 

 some kin to the Jones who "pays the 

 freight," and he has the best building 

 for a seed house I ever saw. It must 

 have cost a pile of money, but it will 

 last forever and is conveniently ar-

 me out to show me the country, and 

 here was the great surprise of my en- 

 tire trip. Why, the crops there would 

 almost put our dear old Iowa to shame. 

 Jones is getting notions about publish- 

 ing a magazine called Alfalfa and it 

 looks like a winner to me. In fact, he 

 has been publishing it for more than 

 a year and from what I can judge it is 

 the real dope. 



"Mitchell, S. D., is a fine town, too, 

 one of the most beautiful towns I saw. 

 Fine country around there, too. Lots 

 of good wheat, oats and alfalfa, but the 

 corn is not quite so good this year, al- 

 though they usually raise splendid corn 

 and the Corn Palace is an annual fea- 

 ture of more than state-wide interest. 

 Mr. Hill, of the Dakota Improved Seed 

 Co., is a fine gentleman and treated me 

 just the same as though I amounted to 

 something. He let me have $10, He's 

 all right. 



"The Gurney folks, of Yankton, were 

 not at home when I got there. I never 

 found out whether Hill wired them I 

 was coming or not, but I saw their 

 place of business and everything looked 

 as though it was well managed. 



"I talked to all these folks about
