operations. Mr.. Wright is from the
agricultural college at Ames, Iowa, and
IS thoroughly versed in the science so
essential to the welfare of the northwest.
He is a practical man and vii! be the
means of establishing an admirable tim
Der system in Dakota.
A year ago the Iowa agricultural col
lege sent Prof. Budd, in company with
Prof. Glib, to Russia to discover, if pos
sible, what success attended tree culture
in that northern cline. He vent to
eastern Russia and the Seth parallel of
north latitude with a view o! finding
trees and fruit that would thrive in the
northwestern territory of America, and
to be sure of the hardness OF the trees
he sought a portion of the county where
the winters are as cold and summers as
warm as here, and with lessrainfall.
There he found men of wealth and
prominence making a bushes of
tree culture and iruit raising;
peach and cherry trees e
USED o SHADE
along the streets. and in that benighted
land was found the most perfect forest
tree system in the world, and large
groves of timber were successfully grown
with only a rainfall of six inches. There

try stations. the least Of which has 1000.
trees and many of them SO, and each
station is presided over by graduates of
agricultural colleges. There they grow
oaks for railroad ties, about fifty varieties
of trees, seeds and cuttings have been
ordered from there to be planted in Da-
kota and the northwest.
4. A proposition has been submitted by
W. T. Steele, to have the farm estab-
lished al or near Steele, the county seat
of Kidder county, and Mr.. Wright is of
the opinion that it will be established at
that point. Among the trees which he
mentioned as being the best adapted to
this climate, are the American box elder
and white ash. A few European trees
will also be tried, including the quercus
pedunculata oak and the a]rborescens
caragona. This will be one Of the most
important movements in the interest of
Dakota which this great road has taken,
and it is to be hoped that Nh. Wright's
efforts will he rewarded with the most
~f1atterine success.
