Trees Increase
Value OF Land

There used to be a popular fal.
lacy among certain class of
people to the effect that utility
was the first consideration and
the more homely a thing was the
| greater its value. Happily peo-
pie have now come to realize
that a useful thing can also be
attractive and the more attractive
the more satisfaction it gives.
Trees in North Dakota are not
only ornamental but useful.
Consistent tree planting by
farmers would soon result in a
fine shelter belt being establish
ed in a few years.
President Worst of the Agri-
cultural college is most enthu-
siastic on tree planting and is
one of those int rested in the UP
building of the state who takes
the opportunity to urge such
action on the part of farmers.
In an interview with the
Forum, President Worst urged
that every farmer make arrange
ments to plant a few trees every
year. -, - -,

Every farm should have from
five to ten acres planted in forest
trees said President Worst.
1T would greatly improve the
landscape and in a short time be-
come a source Of profit. It has
been demonstrated that five
acres planted with the right kind
of trees and properly cultivated
will, at the end Of six or eight
years, be more profitable than
the same area planted to wheat
or other grain. After the trees
are well started they need no
further attention than that nee
essary to prevent fire destroying
them. It does not cost a great
deal to plant an acre or five
acres of timber and the invest
ment is one of the best a land
owner can make. For looks alone
it is worth more than the cost,
and for future fence posts, fuel,
etc, five or ten acres of timber
will prove Of great value. All
"Such varieties as American
elm, soft maple, white and green
ash, blackberry and Carolin pop

Wer a good purpose as a nurse
tree, to be removed as soon as
the trees begin to crowd each
other. The cultivation required
is about the same as corn Should
have. but cultivation becomes
unnecessary in about five years
By that time the shade and the
dead leaves will be sufficient to
keep the soil in a loose, moist
condition, such as trees require.
Il feel certain that all other
things being equal, a quarter
section Of land containing five
acres of good healthy timber five
years old, as against a quarter
section with no trees on it, will
outsell the latter three times
the total cost of the trees. JIG it
will not, then the buyer we'll,
the less said, perhaps the better.
But plant trees. They beautify
the landscape, they make sum
mers and winters more agreeable
they make the growth Of small
fruits possible and they elevate
the mind and hearts Of men. No
equal expenditure Of labor and
money will SO improve the farm
as that used for the purchase,
planting and cultivation of trees
for a future fuel supply, shelter
beds, or ornamentation. For
explicit information as to species
that will thrive here, where OBJ
tanned, how to plant and how to
cultivate them. write to the agri-
cultural college. Bulletins will

was surprising. At this stage
the roots had filled the soil not
only between the hills but be-
meath them until the entire sur
face was fully occupied to a
depth Of 2 IL feet some reach
ing 8 feet. Two classes Of roots
could be easily distinguished:
First those that curved out from
the crown and struck more or
less directly downward into the
soil the main vertical roots, Sc
cond those that spread out from
the root stem in a horizontal
plane near the surface the main
lateral roots. \.
Since the roots Of corn

the ground tits evident that too
deep cultivation Of the listed
corn, or too deep or too close Gull
tivation Of the level-planted
corn, will cut the roots and thus,
injure the plant. In many ex-
.periments reported from other
states, the results have often
favored shallow cultivation as
opposed to deep cultivation. AS
a rule, however, the deep Guilt.
vaJion in such experiments was
extremely deep, usually 5sto 6
inches. Medium deep cultivs-
ton, 3 to q inches, and not too
close to the corn, should not in J.

climates the deeper cultivation
may often give better results
than shallow cultivation.
Again, too deep cultivation
not only Injuries tie corn by des-
troylng the roots, but during the
period of cultivation it prevents
the roots from feeding in the
most fertile part Of soil. The
practice Of shallow cultivation
may, however be carried too far.
A relatively thick mulch Of
mellow soil will conserve more
moisture than a thin mulch.
AS regards the conservation
of soil moisture, the early cult
walton Of corn may be shallow

required when the weather is
moist and cool and evaporation
Is not great. But lateri the
season, when the hot days Of
July and August are at hand, a

the soil in the spring, as loose
soil is not so good a conductor Of
heat as firm soil, and more heat
can reach the firm soil through a

BECKHAM WINS A
HARD FIGHT AGAINST
SENATOR MCREARY
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. with but
a few mountain counties to hear from
and these probably decreasing his lead.
Governor Beckham has almost certain
ly won his fight against Senator Nc
Creary for the nomination of United
States senator in yesterdays primaries.
The governors majority will be about
1000. Samuel w. Hager was nominated
for governor In the same primary by
a majority of between 10000 Ind $4,000.
Although Senator McCreary carried
Louisville by 1887, Governor Beckham
ran so we'll in the country that he over
came this lead and has in the neigh
borhood of 1000 to spare. The Repub-
licans gained two congressman, giving
them total of four in the lower house.
John c. Beckham, governor of Ken
lucky, whose nomination in yesterdays
primary over Senator McCreary is
equivalent to an election, enjoys the
distinction of being the youngest gov
ernor in the United States, and when
he takes his seat in the senate will be
the youngest member of that body. He
comes from a distinguished Kentucky
family and is 80 years of age.

PEKIN, Nov. IAN imperial edict
providing for the reorganization of the
government was published In the Off
cial gazette today
The edict after referring the previous
command that the nation prepare for a
constitution outlines many chances in
the administrative system, such as the
appointment of various boards. the
creation or abolition of others, the es-
tablishment of political council whose
duty shall be to gather public opinion.
The edict says these changes are
made solely as the foundation for a
constitution.
If found to be good they will then
be changed cgain. 1t points out that
the present situation in China is dam
gerous if both high and low are not
made to obey the laws, and it calls
on the ministers to act together in or
der to improve conditions. warning
them that If they disobey the imperial
commands, thus frustrating the hopes
of the people, they will be punished.
1t declares that the laws and reg
ulations made by ancestors were good
for that time, but that now the super
fluous must be abolished.
Another edict orders the viceroys
and governors of provinces to con-
slider Avhat steps shall be taken~to pre-.
pare the general mass of people fol

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-At midnight
tonight there was still doubt as to who
was elected lieut. mt governor.
sixteen counties had not reported the
OF 'cial count at that hour, but on the
face of the figures at hand the result
seemed to favor Lewis Stuyvesant
Chanler on the -Indepen-
dence league ticket
Whatever the result may be the
figures will be clo-o, and until complete
official returns shall have been made by
all the counties now missing it will be
impossible to more than guess at the
winner.
The total vote so far returned, includ-
ing the city Of Greater New York, for
lieutenant governor, is Chanler, 604,-
234; Bruce, 519,479.
1t appears that outside of the candi-

lieutenant governor the Democratic
ticket ia elected,

jority over Bruce is 1884, and this big
lead Bruce must overcome In the up

Hy Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. president
Roosevelt has directed that a repri-
mand be administered to Willis l..
Moore, chief of the weather bureau,
for his action In the case of a printer
named Cooper in his office, who had
been expelled from the Typographical
union for not paying his strike assess
ments.
Mr.. Moore, 1t is said, urged Cooper
on two occasions to pay his assess
ments, but the latter refused and he
was expelled from the union. Follow
ing this Cooper was transferred to
New Orleans and he claimed that this
action on the part of Mr.. Moore was
intended as a punishment for him for
not complying with the demands of the
typographical union.
The matter was referred to the civil
service commission, which expressed
the opinion that Cooper's transfer
would not be for the good of the serv-
ice, as this would give the impression
that II was intended as a punishment.
Cooper accordingly will be reinstated
in his former position In the weather

Theodore A. Bell has a possibility of
being sworn in as governor of Cali
fornia.
Democratic managers throughout the
state do not concede the election of
Gillett, and Mr.. Bell at Napa declares
that he has not given up the fight.
Returns, which still are far from
complete, indicate that the vote will be
very close and that the winner will
have a plurality of not to exceed 1000
to 5000.
Returns have been received from 1858
precincts out of a total of 2471 in the
state. Unofficial figures give Gillett 81
O7s and Bell 1907, or p.-rality of Ss7s
for Gillett.
These figures include the returns from
all the acknowledged Republican
strongholds. while many points which
are certain to give Bell good vote re-
main to be heard from.
Republican Figures Grow Less
Gillett will not carry Los Angeles
county by plurality exceeding 6OOO
with the probability that this figure Will
pc reduced by 1000 to 1900.
Gillett's plurality south of the Teha-
chapi, Democratic managers claim. will
not exceed 10000, and 1t is expected that
this Will be more than wiped out by the
plurality which Bell will receive north
of the Tehachapi ,-s
Republican managers continue to
trim their estimates Of Gillett's plural
ity. Chairman Stone of the state com
mittee, who Tuesday night claimed
from 10000 to $4,000 for Gillett. last
night cut his estimate down to 10000.
Talk of Recount

ity of recount for governor
They declare they will advise Mr.. Bell
to insnst upon another count of the ball
lots should the official figures indicate
that Gillett has received a plurality not
exceeding 1000 or 5000.
1t is claimed by Democrats that re-
count will prove that thousands of bal
lots which were cast for Bell were
thrown out on technicalities or through
the ignorance of election officers and
which would be counted for Bell by
competent judges.
