We passed the other day row Of
black walnut trees set thirty-f five years
ago alongside Of public highway.
The trees were most graceful in con-

cious nuts and are fast growing to the
point where they will be worth S25
each for the lumber they will make.

these combinations are in the line of

would seem to have been reached when

We note that flavor is deprecated in

of but little value. No strawberry pos

for this knowledge may now be OBJ
tanned with but little effort, eithei
through the correspondence schooh
which some Of our best agriculture,
colleges have established, or by taking
advantage Of the special short courses
at these colleges, by reading some of
the best of the many agricultural jour-
nails and periodicals and by acquiring
a small library Of standard works on

a]l Old CONDITIONS RETURNED.
Ii Climatic conditions. which prevailed
Throughout the northwest forty years
ago and which many supposed ha&
passed away never. to return are all
back. The theory that the average
rainfall had been lessened and ex
tremes Of temperature modified hal
got black eye. The rivers and lake,
which had dy&ldled to riyulets ant
ponds or dry lake beds are all bant
full and doing business as of old. The
slough which was broken up and
cropped is again slough. Following
these conditions will come the hard
winters and the deep SHOWS, blizzards
and blocked trains. Many new prob<
lens are thus forced to the front. The
question of drainage is uppermost, fol
the surface and surplus water must be
got rid of some way or all these low
lands be allowed to revert to meadow
and pasture land. This fact remaina
ever true-these low black soils are the
best in the world when they are under.
drained, and not drained they arr
worthless for the purposes of cultivas
tion In wet seasons.

GREER co.
CUT OFF.

The supreme court at the re-
quest of Judge Gillette has cut
off Greer county from the seventh
judicial districtand annexed it TO
the fifth. The advice and con-
sent of Judge Beauchamp of the
fifth was also given to the change.
This |essening of the district is
due to the inability of the court
to dispose of the criminal docket
of the district not TO speak of i'm
possibility Of reaching the civil
docket.
The criminal business of the
district has been extremely heavy
there being about $40 criminal
cases on the docket when the
court was established. Since
then something like 400 new in
dictments have been returned.
AS a result the criminal docket
become so heavy that it could not
be disposed of by any one man.
The seventh judicial district is
now composed of the three new
counties, Kiowa, Caddo and
Comanche with Judge Gillette in
charge. This will give each
county about six weeks Of court
each term.-State Capital.
