We note a great change in the way
OF starting fruit orchards and putting
out forest trees through the country
around Speed the last few years. AS
long as five or six years ago we did
not know of but three or four or
chards around this place, and was
told by the most of the farmers that
it was no use planting trees in this
country az they would not grow
Now it is almost universally admitted
that any tree that will grow in a tenn
perste climate east or west of here
will do we'll here. So tSat at this
time every man that owns farm ia
planting or setting out trees, aud
quite number have bearing orchards.
We believe this great change has
been brought about by the prairie
fires becoming less each year--in fact
it would not be possible for prairie
fires to sweep over the entire country
as they did few years sgo-yet we
still have the prairie fires to combat
ano quite Il lot Of property Is each
year destroyed by them. These fires
destroy the small trees which spring
up very rapidly in the draws over the
coudty and which would soon be
large trees if not thus destroyed
They certainly have an influence on
climate aud the people should unite
and put stop to setting out fires by
prosecuting every person who sets q
fire out and does not observe the pre-
cautions laid down by law. Fires
can be- seen almost every day IN all
directions, SIEVE al accidents have
already happened this season south
Of Bow Greek, one man having been
severely burned and left dis6gured
for life through the csrelessness of
some one who let a fire get started.
Our county Is IN a prosperous Condi.
ton and the fires are not needed, 40
the grass and weeds if left alone
would make good fertilizers. The
lana will some day need this and we
believe such questions should be dis
Cussed by people interested in the
building up Of this country,
