One day last week a News re-
porter visited w. F. Heller's for
the purpose of seeing his young
black locust grove, which occu-
pies some three acres and was
set out in burrows about seven
feet apart IN the spring of 1903.
Nearly all OF the young trees
are doing remarkably we'll hav-
ing attained a growth rarely sur
passed except on bottom lands.
There is no question but that
the black locust is one of the
sure things in the way of timber
for the plains. The courthouse
ward is another guarantee as to
how the locust will flourish. Mr..
Heller's fruit crop was ruined by
hail and our reporter had to be
satisfied by tolling his garden
which oldtime newspaper priv
elege was freely granted, nay
even insisted upon both by Mr..
Heller and his good wife.
