STATE FORESTRY ASSOCIATION.
J.. NJ. Ford, of the Pioneer-Press,
writes as follows:
What do you think of my suggestion
In the PiOneer-Press in regard to il State
Forestry Association? Have you any
IDEAS on the subject? think u great
work might be done by such u society,
Improperly managed.
Our ''ileas upon the subject" are
that we need q State Forestry Associa-
ton rs much rs a State Agricultural or
State Horticultural Society, and we
thank Mr.. Ford for setting the matter
on foot. We have constantly MAIN
tanned, not as u theory or mere opinion
but as . fact based upon the experience
Of prairie settlers in Illinois and Iowa,
that our Minnesota prairies may in ten
years time be dotted over with forests
ind groves, furnishing protection to
orchards and farm premises, and set
Ting the fuel problem for the prairie
farmer. Another fact we notice, viz:
that prairie farmers in Illinois and
Iowa regret that they did not sooner
and at the outset give greater attention
to tree planting. by all means let us
have an Association for the encourage
ment and development of this import
amt interest.
We are glad to notice cali for con-
ventiOn to Ike held at st. Paul on the
Itch of January, ut 7:3O in the evening
for the purpose of organizing a Estate
Tree Planters Association" This call
is signed Ivy many Of the prominent
men of the State, and we hope that all
the prairie regions especially will he

THE EAST Il ND VEST RAILROAD

EEAST AND VEST RAILROAD.
The railroad pot is boiling vigorously,
and Worthington's plate is right side
up for full dinner. An cast and west
road is the great pressing need of
Southwestern Minnesota and South
eastern Dakota, and the people west of
us are alive to the fact. In recent
article, the Yankton Press and Dako-
tian advocates, with a good deal of en-
ergy, an eastern outlet for Yankton and
Sioux Falls, and opposes the Sioux City
and Pembina. It says:
The necessities of Sioux Falls and
Yankton demand Il direct eastern out
let that shall avoid Sioux City. The
interests of these places, of intermediate
points, and the vast fertile tracts trib-
utary thereto, demand direct commune
cation with the great lumber regions Of
Minnesota and Wisconsin, and also de-
mand direct tlioroughfare to the great
lakes where we find the market for our
grain. a road Of this character would
save to Southern Dakota hundreds of
thousands of dollars Il year, and would
facilitate its development with marvel
Gus rapidity. 1t would open up vast
country that is now unproductive by
season Of lack Of transportation facili-
ties. and give an impetus to our growth
aud improvement such as the widest
imagination does not now conceive.
The Southern Minnesota Railroad is
tlle one Sioux Falls should labor to Sc
cure, and Yankton should place its
shoulder to the wheel with us mucl,
energy as it cxerted to secure the Dako-
to Southern. 1t is 4 matter of as mucl,
Importance to Yankton us to Sioux
Falls, and of vital importance to us all.
All the fertile Dakota regions west OF
Us IRE pressing for an eastern outlet,
md the pent up products must have
5!'ifroad vent and that III short order.
And we are glad to see such a decided
and general demand for Il direct route
10 the great lakes along the line which
Nature seems to indicate, and upon
which WortlIinston is destined to Ike
