good deal delayed. The railroads have
greatly increased their equipment,
adding hundreds of new cars and en-.
gines, until, as a railroad official put
it, they are able to this year haul sew
enty-five 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

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

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 45.O0O,OOO acres of land
with but few square miles of timber
and brush wood surrounding lakes anu
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 arc small. and the areas thai
may be dcnominatcd "timbered" even
tEcy are of very limited extent. North
Dakota is, therefore. essentially a
prairie state.
Started Work Early.
Early in the settlement of the state
the question was raised, Can frui,
and forest trees be successfully
srown?" To this question the North
Dakota Agricultural college. through
it's 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 settler to file
on 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.

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 ard the prepara-
tion 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 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 shade) would withstand the Sc
we're season and would readily adopt
themselves to North Dakota's soil CON
ditions. 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.

conditions. The constant shade and

have peculiar effect upon the soil.
The decaying leaves afford a rich
mulch, and also Influenced by the
shade afforded by the trees, the soil is
always loose and moist.
Forest trees have become accus>
toned to this condition-in fact, Gre
ate thence cannot thrive without
1t. Prairie conditions are directly the
reverse of forest conditions, and are
not adapted to the growth of trees.
1t ren!ained for the department of
forestry to produce artificially, 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
perpetuate the forest conditions pro.

The college farm has in the neigh.

'tCan apples and small fruits be

After extensive experimentation the
