Average Price Assumed.

Norfolk, Neb., Sept. %. - Editor
News: An amusing incident occurred
on the street this morning, but which
for time looked as if it might end
seriously. Two boys were discussing
a sale of marbles by third boy
named Jimmie. Jimmie had sold six
marbles for IL cents and one of the
boys named Bill said that he sold them
for cents each. Tom, who happened
to be with Jimmie when the sale was
made said that he did not sell them
in that way, and things began to look
serious, when Jimmie appeared around
the corner. Bill, thinking to effective
ly squelch Tom by the proof at first
hand hailed him, and the following
conversation took place:
"Well, Jimmie, you sold six marbles
for u cents ?"
"Yep."
"Got cents apiece for them?"
Nope"
"Well, how in thunder could you get
- cents for six marbles in any other
way?"
30, dat's easy. Two of them were
kinnicks and I got 10 cents for them,
and sold the others for cents"
Just then Bill remembered that his
mother had told him to get some beef
steak for dinner, but when he reached
the market, figures had become so
mixed in his head that he could not re-
member whether IL was cents worth
or ~ cents worth that he was told to
get, so concluded not to get any but
go fishing instead. AS he has not re-
turned yet, it is supposed that he is
soaking his head.
Mr.. Morrison says that he is on the
watch for him and if, when he returns,
his head has assumed normal proper.
tions, he wants Bill to go to Superin-
tendent O'Connor and explain to him
the absolute correctness of the as
sumption of an average price. NJ.

Meadow Grove, Neb, Sept 25.-Spe
cial to The News Altha Saltz, aged
twenty-five, a well known young farm
er three miles north of Meadow Grove,
was shot and killed by his bird dog
Saturday afternoon.
Saltz and a few companions were
starting out for prairie chicken hunt
at noon. Saltz sat in the wagon box
of their spring wagon and they were
all ready to drive away. The dog was
called and leaped into the wagon.
The muzZle of the shotgun rested
against Saltz's side. The dog, jump
ing into the wagon, struck the trigger
and tripped it. The hammer fell upon
the cartridge, there was a roar and
the heavy charge of shot tore through
Saltz' left side, taking out a great
portion of his flesh just above the
heart.
He lived about three hours. The
funeral was held at l o'clock today.
No coroner's inquest was considered
necessary. He had been married but
a short time.

FOREST SEMEAR|D BELT
GOVERNMENTS EXPERIMENTAL
TEST PROVES SUCCESSFUL.
THE WORK OF MOSES KiNKAIp
The Congressman From the Big Sixth
District Has Done Much in Reforest-
ina the Semi.Arld Belt Of Nebraska.
Proven That Trees Grow.

The successful growing of trees In
the barren sand-hills of Nebraska has
been made an accomplished fact by
the United States bureau of forestry.
State Botanist Bessey returned this
week from visit and careful inspec.
tion of the work in the Dismal River
reserve, and he insists that what has
been done there closely approaches
the marvellous. That section of the
state has been a mere waste Of land
covered with many shifting dunes of
sand. from which all of the rainfall
ran at once, causing small floods and
leaving the ground as dry as bone
in a few hours. The reserve compris-
es some $4,000 acres of land lying be-
tween the Dismal and the Middle Loup
rivers, Immediately above their conflu-
ence. The purpose of this reserve was
to redeem the region to agriculture by
growing timber to check the wind and
retain the soil moisture, This reserve
was the first step taken by the gov
ernment for a systematic and orderly
attempt at forestration for the purpose
of utilizing and developing the re-
sources of the semi-arid region of the
west

Millions of Seedlings.

A year later, in September, 1908, the
ern yellow pine seedlings, almost as
many jack pines and about 10000 of
other pines and spruces. The cost
was about rs cents thousand trees.
The western yellows and piniOns were
so hardy and grew so well that they
were taken from the seed beds and
planted at a year old in the hills.
Most of the others had to be trans
planted into nursery rows. The mo-
ment the seedlings were drawn from
their root bed they were at once i'm
mersed in water, after which they
were wrapped in bundles of $50 with
wet cloths about their roots. The bun
dies were in turn packed in boxes Of
wet moss and carried to the sand hills
on pack trees. This kept them safe
for three days. The work of planting
is performed in very systematic man
ner. A squad of three is detailed to
one part of the hills in charge Of an
assistant from the state university, a
student. One man in each squad was
his shoulder by sling strap, in which
he was required to carry sufficient wa
ter to submerge the roots Of the trees
it held.
Method of Planting.
This man walked between the fur
rows and it was his duty to hand the
trees to the planters as they called
for them. These planters used a spe-
cial spade. With it, if the surface
sand was dry, they scooped from the
bottom of the furrow spadeful and
then turned it full length of the blade
into the fresh sand. A sidewise move
ment made a space sufficiently large
to admit the root. The spade was then
withdrawn with the right hand and at
the same instant a tree was put in
position with the left. The spade was
again thrust into the sand about an
inch and half to one side Of the orig
inal opening and the fresh sand
pressed against the roots. One or two
strokes with the boot heel firmed the
soil and the operation was complete.
Ranchmen Cooperate.
In addition to this work, the bureau
has succeeded in investigating many
ranchmen in cooperative planting,
The agents have drawn plans in each
case, and have supplied the trees and
done the planting for about twenty
places. In some instances as high as
1000 trees have been planted on a
ranch. Their great value, aside from
their holding and doling out the wa
ter as nature demands it, they provide
a shelter-belt that prevents rapid evap-
Grafton, by reason of the wind, surface
waters, thus enabling the pastures to
remain greener longer and to greatly
increase the tonnage of hay. On one
ranch at Kennedy, 1000 jack pines
and 1 1000 cottonwoods were furnished
for wood-lot purposes. In time these
trees will prove valuable in supplying
fence posts and timber for domestic
purposes.
