general grove / have seen in this sec
ton of the country. South OF the sta
tion along the draws of Big creek
there are some fine Cottonwood
groves, all growing to show that
moisture is what timber and other
vegetation needs in this country.
In the cultivation Of trees both
seedlings and sets, it is necessary to
have your ground in good condition
by fall blowing and spring narrowing.
Young trees, whether grown from the
seed or otherwise. should be carefully
cultivated, just as you would corn or
garden vegetables. II you don't the
weeds will get the start of the trees
and one or the other will die, especi-
ally if the season is dry, and most gen.
orally it is the trees that die and not
the weeds. as the soil of this country
is very congenial to the growth of
weeds.
In conclusion we will make the re-
mark that every farmer in this west
ern country can have a grove on his
farm if industry and proper cultiva-
| tiOn are exercised. There is a spot on
most every quarter section where
trees can be grown, especially along
/ the draws or lower land.

THE Wa-Keeney schools will open
Monday, September 9th. Special care
is being taken to make the coming
years work most profitable in thor
oughness and advancement. 1t is
greatly desired that all pupils be
present on the first morning. Those
living in the surrounding country
who have not good schools convenient
to their homes will find the adj
yantages offered here equal to any.
Wa-Keeney for years has prided her
self in her good schools and will con-
vince the patrons of the school that
the facilities offered the coming year
are not excelled if equaled in north
west Kansas. Especial attention will
be given in the High school to those
preparing to teach by organizing dur
ing the year review class in common
branches. Advanced pupils and I'M
employed teachers throughout the
county will find the work of the High
school well adapted to their needs. 1t
is to be hoped many will improve this
opportunity to prepare for more thor
ough work in the common schools.
Students coming from distance de-
string to arrange for self boarding can
secure rooms at very reasonable rates
and thus greatly >reduce expenses.
Parents viii please consider this ques-
ton seriously and promptly for the
sake Of the future welfare Of their
children and arrange for them to en-
ter the school at the beginning and
remain throughout the term. Fol-
further information, we would sug-
gest that those interested call upon
or address the principal, Mrs. Lucy S.

CHASE & SANBORN
FOREST TREES.

FROM Jne lfTlPdUlOn FARMER.
In giving my views as to the variety
of forest trees best adapted to the
plains of western Kansas, / must do
so from my observation at the Ogal-
lab Forestry station and the surround
ing country. As this part of Kansas
has been settled about eighteen or
twenty years, and the forestry some
thing over eight years, we can form
pretty fair estimate of the kind of
timber that will live and thrive the
longest on these plains. The Ogallah
Forestry station is situated 127 miles
west of Salina in Trego county, and
in the highlands between the Smoky
and Saline rivers. Now from my OBJ
ServatiOn most any timber will grow
and do well for four or five years when
the dry weather and hot winds will
kill them. Our duty at this station
is to ascertain what variety of forest
trees will stand this climate of drouth,
hot winds and billiards. / find the
following varieties living and dying
here in this station: Honey Locust,
Black Locust, Ash, White Elm. Hack
berry, Silver Maple, kind of Olive,
Box Elder, Catalpa, Alianthus, Cot
tOnwood, Lombardy Poplar, Russian
Mulberry, Wild Cherry, White Oak,
Black Walnut and Usage Orange, with
few Evergreens, Cedar and Pine.
Now among these varieties / find the
Usage Orange, Wild Cherry, Black
Locust, Honey Locust, White Elm,
blackberry, Ash and Silver Maple do
ing the best. The Black Walnut that
is growing from the seed is doing well
but those that have been transplanted
are doing no good. The Russian Null
berry is doing well when properly
trimmed and cared for The Cotton
wood and Box Elder will grow and do
we'll for four or five years then die,
but along the streams they grow into
| large trees and do well, but from the
appearance of this county, and after
careful observation, | believe it to be
time and money thrown away to at
tempt to grow the Cottonwood, Box
Elder AlianthuS, Catalpa or Lombardy
Poplar on the high lands. The Oak
and Sycamore seem to be very feeble
effort at life.
The most thrifty trees we have in
station is the Honey Locust, White
Elm, Ash, Hackberrry and Black Lo-
Gust. These, / think, with proper
care, can be grown successfully on the
higher lands of these plains.
On the timber claim of G. G. Yet
ter, adjoining the forestry station, l
find the finest Honey Locust grove I
have seen this far west. Four miles
north and east from the station / find
on the farm of J. P. Marquand fine
grove of mixed timber, but the best
are the Honey Locust and Russian
Mulberry on his upland and a SPLEEN
did grove of large and thrifty Cotton
wood trees in the valley near Spring
creek. He also has a number of
thrifty, bearing apple trees and the
finest Usage Orange fence / have seen
west OF Salina, in fact it is the best
