I The mistaken notion that the
cultivation Of fruit in South Eastern
Dakota has been failure, is result
Ing in an unnecessary disadvantage
to the country. Practically fruit
culture has not been success; but
during the time the experiment was
being tried, the young trees then
growing went the way of all crops
and furnished food for the grass
hoppers. Grain and vegetables, had,
before the grasshopper plaques
been Thoroughly tried, and no
complaint has ever been made as to
the difficulty of the soil in its pro-
ductiveness. But because fruit had
not been sufficiently tested before
the young trees were eaten. up, it
seemed to be taken for granted that
none could be raised. This has
been the result of Encouragement
alone. No greater mistake was ever
entertained than the idea that fruit
would not grow and develope in
Union County. Those few who
have persevered and cultivated,
since the obstruction of the first
planting of trees are now reaping
the benefits of their courage and
enterprise. We would refer par
ticularly to the standard fruits of
Judge Blair and Jack Coverda lie
which is a fitting example to be
followed by their neighbors.
Although the trees Of apple, plums
&c, are young and small, far below
the age and size at which fruit trees
begin bearing in other localities,
they are this year bearing a nice
crop, and manifest a thrift and
development both in the tree and
the fruit, that is encouraging in the
extreme, and should stimulate every
one who wishes to avoid the high
prices paid now for fruit necessitated
by long shipments and the advan-
tage of dealers having no home
competition. Fruit is. an essential
element in the wealth and reputa-
ton OF any country and the sooner
our people make an earnest effort in
this direction the sooner they will
add value to their land and Con-
venience and prosperity to them
selves. There is no question about
fruit growing and doing well here
and the failure ofthe past occasioned
by an invasion of grasshoppers,
such as we hope never to see again
should not now interfere with Us
and future culture.

unexpectedly to his creditors on
Monday He left behind several
small debts, such as board bill, doctor

their having supplied him with en-

paid him well for all the work he
done, and now feel that he had no

it WAS not his fathers work, then what his
mother was thinking of, to allow the baby to be
named Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The boy sur

all the same the experiment was dreadinliy
rash If it is possible TO NicOdemus a child INTO

speaking OF names, it is impossible to forget the

admitted that here WAS something, in fact con-
siderable, in a name.
