Broadside, 20.75 x 9.75 inches. Old folding creases, a few short, closed tears at margins; very good. Minneapolis-based company Thompson Yards tells farmers that diversification in agriculture is the road to wealth -- urging them to buy silos on credit on the grounds that they can't go wrong if they raise cattle while growing alfalfa and a variety of grain crops. In the 1880s and 1890s, the Dakotas had been widely promoted by land agents as ideal for growing wheat, and many had settled there convinced their fortunes would be made by the crop. But Dakota farmers had suffered greatly when their wheat crops were devastated by disease ("black rust") or excessive heat. While this broadside may read as an advertiser's hype (which it is), it was not entirely wrong - in the first decades of the twentieth centuries Dakota farmers had success growing oats, corn, barley, rye, flax, sugar beets, sunflowers, potatoes, and other crops. With demand high from the Allies during the start of World War I, such crops did briefly lead to wealth. But farmers also borrowed heavily as they rushed to expand, and many could not repay their debts when demand declined after the war and drought conditions returned.

A fold out brochure advertising land development and immigration to South Dakota. The full title of this pamphlet is: "South Dakota The Land of Sunshine, Fertile Fields, Mountains of Gold, Silver and Precious Metals and Happy People People : Offers You a Place : This Folder is Like an Egg --- Its Full of Meat". The brochure folds out to 21 1/2" x 17" with one side depicting a large map of South Dakota, and the other providing information on the state. The map featured shows the state sections by counties and Reservations. Above the map there are two charts, the first of which depicts the bushel yields per acre of states, of which South Dakota is sixth. The second chart states that South Dakota leads all other states in the "per capita production of new wealth". The chart itself lists the amount of items like wheat, corn, oats, dairy products, honey, and life stock, and the amount sold by South Dakota residents in 1910. The back of the pamphlet has a wide variety of information on the state itself. Such as it being the only state east of the Rockies which has the raw materials to make "Portland Cement", its abundance of coal and natural gas, corn statistics for 1910, the educational advantages of the state including its colleges and common schools, past weather, both existing and presently being built railroads, banking system, taxes, population, and the state's communications methods such as telephone lines and rural mail routes. When the pamphlet is folded back up, the back side makes it clear that it was designed to be mailed to interested parties, as there are lines for an address, and a box outline for where to place a stamp. The brochure itself is printed in black ink with red accents. Measures 8 1/2" x 3 3/4" (folded). General wear and soiling. Minor separation along folds. Minor penciling on map side. Map folds.
