Landlord Diets brought to our
office the first of the week two
little branches broken from an
ample tree in his orchard, which
are an exhibition Of the develop
ment of South Dakota fruit this
year. The apples are OF the
Duchess variety and present
very favorable answer to ques-

in Grant county. The very tine
garden of D. J. McGiven, at his
home north of the railroad track,
Is also worth a visit to those IN
