WINTER WHEAT A SUCCESS.
Martin County Man Proves That IL
Can Be Raised.

Last fall August Krumholz had eight
acres prepared on his Silver Lake farm
and seeded to winter wneat The grain
passed through the winter in good con-
dition, but the spring conditions were
not so favorable 1t came off warm in
March which caused the wheat to begin
growing. after which it froze up and
then followed much cold stormy wealth
er. As a result of this small patch on
the north side of a knoll was partly kill
ed out and pretty thin, but all on the
level land and the south part of the
knoll is thick and promises bountiful
crop.
D Mr.. Krumholz thinks it was the
strong northwest wind rather than the
freezing that killed the grain in the
one small patch.
The wheat is now all headed out. has
long heads and they are filed to the
very end. The grain will soon be ready
to cut and if it turns out as well as
now seems certain tne success of the
experiment will give winter wheat
growing quite an impetus in that sec

PRAIRIE TREE PLANTING.
Bureau of Forestry Gives Advice In
This Regard.

MS Regard.
From Saturdays Daily.
| In the states OF the middle west there
| is pressing need of more trees, both for
wood and for windbreaks and shelter
belts This need has been felt since
| the prairieS were first settled, but the
attempts made to supply it have, as a
rule. fallen short of the benefits which
might have been secured. The early
| planting was done chiefly for the sake
of ornament or shade; the usefulness
of the species for wood was seldom con-
sidered In many cases, also trees were
planted outside of the range to which
they were adapted and on soil and in
locations unfavorable to them. On the
other hand, many valuable species were
neglected.
! Experience has now furnished the ba,
trees can be grown in these regions
which will serve just as well for pro-
! lection and ornament as those which
| nave been most used and which at the
| same time will furnish valuable wood.
| For several years the bureau of forestry
has been investigating this subject, with
results which are recognized throughout
the prairie region as of great practical
value. The work consists of field stud
| les of the existing forest growth, both
natural and planted, of its relation to
soil and climatic conditions, and of the
effect of various cultural methods.
The work in the eastern part of the
| two Dakotas. western Minnesota, Hi
nos, eastern Nebra ska. and western
Kansas is already done. A bulletin
based on the study in western Kansas
has been published, giving information
concerning the species most suitable to
the locality and telling how and where
to rlant them. Bulletins of the same
| character covering other states are in
preparation. This summer Iowa will be
studied, and later other states of the
middle west. until the whole region is
covered. Considerable tree planting
has been done in some of these states,
OCCASIONALLY with complete success; but
there nave been many total failures, and
many attempts successful only in part.
As a rule, the lack of success was due
to lack of knowledge how and what to
plant But these plantations, whether
successful or not, provide valuable OBJ
iect lessons in respect to future plant
ing
An important part of the study will
natural forest growth along streams and
elsewhere is encroaching upon the drier
upland in consequence of the protection
from fire which settlement gives. Where
this native growth can be utilized, it
may be advisable to encourage it. Cen
orally. however, the planting of species
obtained from a distance will be neces-
sarv The problem is to establish on
the fertile prairies of the middle west
the trees that will grow rapidly, and
thus quickly furnish protection from
the drying winds of summer and the
bleak winds of winter, while at the
same time yielding the timber most de-
sirable for farm construction purposes,
and possibly for lumber. 1t is the in
tcntion of the bureau to determine ex-
actly which are the most suitable spe-
cies, and how they should be planted
and cultivated to secure the best sue
cess.
