Every farmer who has no grove of
trees around or near his buildings,
should set out trees as soon as pos
sible. There are numerous trees
that flourish in North Dakota, among
them cottonwood, boXalder, willow,

planting OF young trees and a little
care for them afterwards until we'll
started and occasional cultivation to
keep down grass and weeds will add
considerably to the future value of any
homestead. School children all over
the county are requested to plant
seeds or small trees on Arbor day and
the superintendent of forestry will
supply the seeds free.
