Tree Cultivation at the. North
Dakota Agricultural College

The minneapolis Tribune had the
following Fargo correspondence re-
garding tree cultivation at the North
Dakota Agricultural college:
The expression, treeless prairies,"
fairly describes the physical condition
of North Dakota. The state repre-.
sents a vast stretch of fertile soil en-
bracing nearly 100000 acres of land
with but a few square miles of timber
and brush wood surrounding lakes anG
bordering streams. The largest area
of timber not included in the above
found in the Turtle mountain country
or skirting the Pcmbina mountains,
in the northern part of the state. The
trees are small, and the areas that
may be denominated "timbered" even
they are Of very limited extent. North
Dakota is, therefore, essentially a
prairie state.
ct:srted Work Early.
EARLY in the settlement of the state
the question was raised, "Can fruit
and forest trees be successfully
grown?" To this question the North
Dakota Agricultural college. through
its department of horticulture and
forestry, early and earnestly address
ed itself The college farm, consist
ing of GAO acres, lying just beyond the
city limits of Fargo. was without a
tree or shrub in 1891, when the first
building was erected.
The law permitting a settler to file
on a quarter section of land under
what was known as the timber culture
act was quite generally taken advan-
tage OF. but in most cases the cultiva-
tion of the required area of timber
proved failure. These failures were
more general in the middle and west
ern portions of the state.
The parties responsible FOR the pro-
visions of the timber cultre act were
evidently ignorant of these scientific
principles which govern the success
full growth of trees and the prepare
ton the soil should receive before the
trees were planted to insure the sue
cess of forest plantations. hence the
numerous failures. In the Red river
valley the failures were not so con-
spicuous, and many promising groves
of timber abound. The tree most
commonly planted by the early set
tiers, however. was the cottonwood,
and, not being a true forest tree, such
groves are destined to be short lived
The first step looking toward the
establishment of successful forest
plantations was to determine what
species Of forest trees (trees that love
deep shaded would withstand the Sc
we're season and would readily adopt
themselves to North Dakota's soil con-
dttions. About thirty-five species
proved hardy, but for permanent trees
the green and the white ash, the
American elm and the soft maple. all
qualities taken into consideration, are
doubtless the most promising. For
ornamental purposes the mountain
ash, the Norway maple, the birch and
the linden are excellent trees.
A natural forest has peculiar soil
conditions. The constant shade and
the annual covering from forest leaves

SAY PRISONERS ARE BANK LOO7ERS
Sheriff Of Polk County, Mimi, Identifies TwoBandits Held
at Ainot-Alesed posoiice Robbers Held al Fargo

Charles Sullivan and Edward Rob-
inson. charged with looting the Saw
yer State bank, were identified at Mi
not as the men who were arrested at
Fisher, Mimi, in August, on suspicion
Of breaking into the State bank at
Mentor, Mimi, last summer.
The Identification was made by
Louis Gonyae, sheriff of Polk county,
who examined the prisoners.
Sullivan and Robinson were released
by the Minnesota authorities because
of lack of evidence.
John Miller, alias Jack Craig, was
arrested at Fargo by United States
officers on suspicion of being impli-
Gated in several postoffice robberies at
various places in North Dakota this
fall. The complaint was sworn to by
Postofiice Inspector Frye, who has
been on Miller's trail for some weeks.
Miller says he is ''tin horn" gam.
bier, and had been at Kenmare all
season, and can produce an alibi.
The federal officers say they are
confident they have the right man,
and expect to secure his positive iden-
tification through George Losey, now
out on bonds, and who is charged with
robbing the Lisbon postofice.

good deal delayed. The railroads have
greatly increased their equipment.
adding hundreds of new cars and en-
gines, until, as railroad official put
it, they are able to this year haul sew
enty-1ve loads where last year they
could handle but fifty. In spite of this
large increase, however, there does not
seem to be enough cars to haul the
grain and other products to market
as fast as is necessary to keep pace
with the activity of the farmers in
bringing their grain to the railroads
for shipment
Judging from reports which we are
daily receiving from our country cor

banker, "the elevators along the rail.
roads seem to be stuffed full
Farmers, unable to find room for
their grain in the elevators, are Dump
ing it out on the prairie and things
are almost as bad as they were last
year. We received this morning five
letters from bankers in different Sec
tions of the state and all of them are
to the same import.
"The trouble is that while the rail-
roads have added largely to their
equipment since last year and can
handle larger shipments, the state. too,
has grown remarkably and increased
in population so that the railroads
have been unable to do more than
keep pace with the development Of
the state.

. have a peculiar effect upon the SOIL
The decaying leaves afford . Rob
mulch, and also Influenced by the
shade afforded by the trees. the soil IL
always loose and moist.
Forest trees have become accus-
toned to this condition-in fact. ere.
ate thence cannot thrive without
it. Prairie conditions are directly the
reverse of forest conditions, and are
not adapted to the growth of trees.
1t remained for the department OF
forestry to produce arti1cially, forest
conditions, by system of planting
and cultivation that would provide q
! loose, moist condition of soil until
such time as the growing tree would
afford sufficient shade and leaves to
Eerpetnate the forest conditions pro-
vided for them in their infancy by
shallow and frequent cultivation.
The college farm has in the neigh.
borhood Of $4,000 forest trees, all in
good healthy condition and making
rapid growth About thirty-two acres
are laid out for experiments in for
estry, fourteen of which are already
planted.
Numerous experiments have been
made with different varieties of hedge
plants. For wind Or snow break the
golden Russian swillow is the peer Of
all other trees being rapid grower,
perfectly hardy and drouth resistant
to remarkable degree after becom-
ing established. In from three to five
years it attains considerable height
and density and is not injured, from
the weight or drifting SHOWS.
If cut back q few times and then
permittedito grow tall the golden Rus
sian willow will in a few years make
Il dense shelter hedge from fifteen to
twenty-five feet in height.
Shelter Belts.
Can apples and small fruits be
grown Oh the North Dakota prairies?"
After extensive experimentation the
answer has become, Yes, if protected
by shelter belts" The shelter belts
: should extend along the north and
west boundaries of the orchard or
fruit garden and far enough away to
, prevent the drifting snow from lodg.
ing upon the fruittrees.
The experiments at the North Da-
| kota Agricultural college prove con-
clusively that trees and shrubbery can
be grown successfully in North Da-
kota, both for economic and ornament
al purposes. Everything seems to de-
pend. however, upon the species plant
ed. the method of planting and the
cultivation given them during the
first three or four years after plant
ing.
The advantages that would accrue
to farmers. as we'll as to the state in
general, from general and syste-
mtaic cultivation of trees in timber
| lots and for shelter belts scarcely can
! be estimated. The end sought by the
experiment station is to prevail upon
farmers generally to improve their
homes by planting trees and shrub
berry for protection as we'll as for
shade and ornamental purposes, and
timber lots for fuel and other uses.

There are few diseases that iDhict more
torture than rheumatism and there is
probably no disease for which such a
varied and useless lot of remedies have
been suggested. To say that it can be
cured is, therefore, a bold statement to
make, but Chamberlain's Pain Balm,
which enjoys an extensive sale, has met
with great success in the treatment oil
this disease. One application of Pam
Balm will relieve the pain, and hundreds
of sufferers have testified to permanent

An Acceptable Easter Egg.

Rev. Wilbur F. Sheridan, pastor Of
Mount Vernon Place Methodist Episco'
pal Church in Baltimore, received an
Easter token yesterday.
Mr.. Edward Thompson, superintend'
ent of the Sunday-school, called at the
parsonage Saturday evening, and as he
was leaving he handed Mr.. Sheridan an
Easter egg.
"Here's a little Easter present for
you," he said, in voice full of serious
ness.
The egg was little, ordinary-looking
affair, such as may be seen in any store,
but when it was opened its true worth
was realized. The minister found three
new, crisp 800 bills and little note
telling him that the present was from
his friends.
