The surface
of the eastern portion of the State is a
level plain, while west of the Missouri
River the surface is broken and contains
the Black Hills, averaging 6,000 feet in
height. The soil is fertile and
especially adapted to raising cereals.
Wild fruits grow in great abundance, and
rich grass covers the prairies, affording
excellent advantages for dairy farming
and stock-raising.
The
principal farm crops are corn, wheat,
oats, barley, potatoes and hay.
The
principal minerals are gold, silver,
mineral waters, granite, sandstone,
limestone, natural gas, portland cement,
clay products and mica.
The
principal industries are flour, grist,
cheese, butter and condensed milk.
The climate
is mild and pleasant, and the atmosphere
is clear and dry, and owing to the
elevation malarial diseases are unknown.
