the country has been permanently set
tied, conditions are greatly improved.
Several tree species have succeeded,
despite other most adverse circum-
stances, in forcing their way into the
very heart of the plains by following
up the water courses tributary to the
Missouri river. 1t is therefore quite
certain that with protection they will
In the future steadily gain new terri
tory.
AS a result of the study it becomes
clear that the forests or this region are
much more restricted in area and
poorer in character than they need be.
That it takes long time to grow
trees fit for any practical trees is
seriously handicapped, and few farm
ers can do better for their property
than to establish groves upon it. The
government is so Wen convinced of
the probability of growing trees from
seeds In this region that it has created
two forest reserves, containing 20S,000
acres, in the sand hills of Nebraska
for this purpose
The tables contained In the bulletin
make it possible to learn how land
now given over to stock can be made,
in comparatively few years, 10 pro-
duce stand of trees whose value will
exceed the accumulated rents as pas
ture.
The bulletin closes with an account
OF tree species found in western Kan
sas and Nebraska.

gins are often apparently insignificant
and unobserved. On the streams, the
sand bar willow and the false indigo
play an important part, their roots
holding the banks and bars from shift
ing until tree species can get foot
hold. After the sand is fixed and other
species have started, the willow dies,
but it's mission has been fulfilled. Its
seed is carried by the water as we'll
as by the wind, SO that the same food
which makes another sand bar often
seeds it with the tree which will re-
deem it. In heavier soils other
shrubs, such as the smooth umas, the
wolfberry, and the wild plum; which
grow in clumps and are able to win
In the fight against grass, are fore
runners of the forest
The one thing which, above all
others, makes for improved conditions
ON the plains, and gives assured hope
for better tree growth in the future
than in the past, is the cessation OF
fires. Before the country was settled
fires were both frequent and extern
sive. Only the trees along streams
could survive and, at best, make a
stunted, scrubby growth. Reproduc-
tion was extremely uncertain, owing
to the loss of seedlings, and grass
gained the assendency over all other
forms of vegetation. But with the
nearly complete stoppage of fires since

NOTICE

The Independent cordially invites
it's readers to send in items of news
of such nature as are of general in
terest to the people Of the state We
want you to realize that it is our de-
sire to advance the welfare of the
people of the state individually and
collectively, and we ask you to CO.
operate with us in the work. We de-
sire particularly to hear from the boys

contest the coming year. Every farm
er boy in the state should engage
in the contest for the sufficient rea-
son that all will be gamers thereby.
All, Of course, cannot win the prize
offered by the state association, but
all can improve their knowledge of
corn culture and add to the income of
the farm through the application of
intelligence to the work they per-
form.
We also want to hear from the girls
of the Domestic Science association,
We are anxious to afford them every
aid, and encouragement that we can

FEATS BY FARMERS

Lincolnshire is noted for it's i'm
mense fields of huge haystacks. Three
years ago a farmer near Spalding built
a haystack which he proudly claimed
was the largest ever erected. 1t was
80 feet square and no less than so
feet high. Even America, that cOun-
try of big things, has nothing to put
against this.
For rapid shearing, however, it is
America that claims the record. r.
M. Marquis, of MiraDel, in Missouri
has achieved the surprising feat of
shearing 275 sheep in twelve hours.
To wrap oranges in paper and pack
them in box sounds simple enough.
But the knack of wrapping needs to
be carefully learned, and the packing
is not easy, for each orange must be
carefully wedged into its proper place
in order that there may be no shaking
during the transit. A FTloridian named
Beeby has packed 1875 boxes in eleven
hours. The average to the box was
$50 oranges, so Beeby actually
wrapped and packed 1880 oranges in
the time mentioned
We must look to the AntipOdes for
a milking record. The New Zealand
Dairy Farmer gave an account some
time ago Of Plains farmer who, with
only his wife to help him, MIXED 70
cows twice daily for a year. The fact
can be vouched for that this man de-
livered on an average 1000 pounds
weight (nearly TOM OF milk daily
at the factory, and d.. not spend one
penny on wages. Any one who has
ever MIXED COW will agree that this
feat partakes almost of the marvellous
Jim Barker, who died not long ago
at the. age of seventy-six, was known
all through the eastern counties of
England as the champion plowman.
He and his wonderful team of Suffolk
horses travelled thousands of miles to
blowing matches, and within the
space OF fifteen years won prizes to
the value of over $4,000.
Speaking of blowing brings to mind
the fact that the farmer who owns
and works the largest wheat field in
the world is Mr.. Clovis Cole of Cal
ifornia.- His giant wheat field covers
over $4,000 acres-that Is, upwards of
forty square miles. There are no
roads through the field. 1t is one
solid stretch of grain. To give some
idea of the tremendous size of this
understanding, let us imagine that one
man began to pillow 1t with double
pillow, cutting twenty-four inch fur
row, and turned twenty miles of fur
rows day. Ii would take him nearly
fifteen years for the blowing alone,
for the total length Oh furrow would
be about 100000 mites, equivalent to
more than four times the circumfer-
ence of the earth. As matter of
