THE APPORTIONMENT.

Sioux FALLS, July 12- The committee
orSlegislative apportionment agreed to the
proposition of having 120 representatives
and forty senators. This would give Mime
haha county two senator's and six represen-
tatives. A petition has been received from
residents of the northern part of the county
asking that the county be divided into two
legislative districts. AS Sioux Falls contains
more than half the population of the entire
county, the objects of the petitioners is to
have one senator and perhaps three rep
resentatives independent of the influence of
Sioux Falls. The committee will give full
hearing to all parties before reporting, and
the matter will alter all probably be fought
out in the convention

Orchards in Hancock County.

A correspondent of the Ellsworth Ameri-
can furnishes the following Interesting arti-
tice to that paper, on the conditions of or
charding and fruit growing in that county,
Some of the views presented are good and
others we would ike to see discussed as we
have different opinions from those given be-
low. Especially in the matter of varieties
we would like to know if better selection
of varieties than is given cannot be recon-
mended for Hancock county, or are there
climatic impossbilities. The points stated
should be thoroughly discussed this spring
1t is popular error with the inhabitants of
Hancock county that good apples cannot be
grown here. | do not claim to have had
great Experience in fruit growing and here
fore do not claim to have great knowledge in
that direction; but | do claim to have had
some experience, and to have made the best
of that experience in the way of gathering
knowledge of the business and as result
have gathered many facts few of which |
give here for the benefit of my readers, such
as have not that knowledge and to whom such
knowledge may be beneficial
l. Hancock county can grow its apples
cheaper than it can buy them.
q The good varieties that will succeed,
with good care and cultivation, in this county
do not number much over twenty.
3. There are a few insect pests to the ap-
pie in this county as IN any fruit growing To-
cality.
4. The inhabitants of this county do not
take the interest in fruit growing that they
should.
5. There is very little knowledge with
the natives regarding the requirements Of an
apple tree, and very little interest to carry
out what knowledge they may have.
8. Travelling agents sell fruit trees at
twice the price that local agents charge for
them; besides permanent local agents are
better prepared, and it is more for their in
terest to give good advice in selecting and
planting trees.
7. Stock grown in western New York, ID
better for many reasons than any that has
ever been grown in Maine,
s. The hardness of fruit tress does moi
depend upon where the stock grew, but
where it originated.
/ 9. The Baldwin apple is too tender fol
this locality.
10. Select from the following varieties
/ Summer-Yellow Transparent, Bed As
trschan and Tetofsky.
Autumn Alexander, Haas, Duchess Of
/ 0ldenhurg and Fameuse.
Winter Wealthy Walbridge Mcintosh
Red, Pewsukee. Pomme Guise, SCOTS Win
ter, Sslome and Rubicon.
Everyone that thinks of planting tree'
should certainly plant the Yellow Trsnspar
ent. 1t comes into bearing rery young il
rery early; is rery hardy and of ereekien
quality; and in fact, know of no summer
apple that is peer to it.
