Tree Planting--sprins or Fan!


The question Of tree planting u ~
ginning to be considered by maay
people who have recently come ~
the state, II one may Judge By -
number Of inquiries which are beiNS
received at the Agricultural COlle9
at Fort Collins. A
In many of the essteFs states, !
planting Of both latgs and IT,
fruits is much in faysr Thsl
several reasons for tkle pfess
the most important b@lag tha4s
n little or no danger - ~
or soil becoming dried. out dWrlng the
winter. Then, In many looations,
spring rains prevent early working OF
the soil, so that 1t is often late before
planting can be begun. But If the
planting is done in the fall, some Of
the plants may become partially es-
tablished, and, as the wet weather in
spring is favorable to growth, the fall
planted trees have advantage.
Under Colorado conditions quite
the reverse Is usually true. A few
people have success with fall plant
ing, but they are the exception.
Our fall weather Is usually very
dry, and many of the bitches do not
supply late water, consequently fall
planted trees usually experience ad-
verse conditions from the start. Then
the following winter weather is
equally trying. The prevailing
weather is dry, with occasional dry
ing winds. The cold nights, with a
rise Of temperature Of 40 degrees or
more the following noon, is likewise
trying to newly planted trees.
In the colder fruit sections many
trees are killed by freezing dry" as
it is termed. This occurs with estab-
lished trees when the ground freezes
to such depth that root action is
practically stopped. Moisture is
given off by the tree tops during win
ter as well as In summer, though not
to such an extent. When the ground
is frozen no water can be taken in by
roots and the tops become SO dry that
many of the plant cells are killed.
Such trees may appear all right in
the spring and may bloom and the
leaves may grow to nearly normal
size. II the trees reach this stage
they usually die suddenly, seemingly
in day.
Fall planted trees do not have the
advantage of an established root sys-
tenn to supply the moisture lost by
evaporation, consequently they are
much more susceptible to injury dur
ing winter. 1t is not necessary for
the ground to become frozen in order
to bring about this condition in fall
set plants, so freezing dry may occur
in any locality.
The above are a few of the reasons
why it is not usually profitable to
plant in the fall in Colorado.
And the prospective tree planter
who is unfamiliar with Colorado con-
ditions will, in this respect at least,
find it to his advantage to follow the
custom of the most successful or
chardists.-W. Paddock.

CATARRH CAN BE CURED.
Kill the Germs by Breathing Hy-o
mel. Gives Quick Relief.

Many people who have suffered with
catarrh for years naturally feel that
the disease cannot be cured, and be-
come discouraged
Their failure to get relief is due to
the fact that they have not used the
right remedy. Catarrh is an affection
of the head, throat and lungs, and cam
not be cured by stomach dosing.
The only scientific and natural
treatment for this disease is Hy-o-mci
which is breathed through neat
pocket inhaler, 50 that its healing
medicatcd air reaches the most remote
air-cclls, kills all catarrh germs, and
restores the mucous membrane of the
nose, throat and lungs to healthy
condition.
Hy-o-mei is the only cure for
catarrh that has ever been sold with
the understanding that it was to cost
absolutely nothing unless it d, cured.
Bowditch. Webster & Co, sell Hy-o-mci
in this. way and are always ready to
refund the money if it does not relieve
and cure catarrh
The healing and antiscr:'c balsams
of Hy-o-mei perform their purpose ~
perfection, ana by using this remedy
for few times each day. you can soon
cure yourself of any catarrhal
troubles.
a complete Iy-o-mei outfit consist
ing Of bottle of Hy-o-mei and an
inhaler costs but S100.

who ever heard of the grocer or the

SCHOOL BOOK CONTRACTS.

Since the date of the letting of the
contracts for five years more of trust
school books, discussion of the subject
has become general in the newspapers
of South Dakota. An aroused senti-
ment would have been of more prac-
tical value to school book consumers
before they had become committed to
another five years of monopoly than
after, yet it is never too late to urge
measures for public protection,
After relating that each county
board for the selection of school books
for the county is composed of the
county superintendent, the county
auditor, the states attorney, members
of the board of commissioners and a
representative from each school dis
trict, the Yankton Herald says:
Such committe is amply qualified
to receive and pass upon the bindings
and prices of books, but the county su-
perintendent is the only man of the
twenty or more who comprise the
membership who is qualified by his
calling to pass upon the real merits of
a book from school standpoint,
which, after all, is the main considera-
ton. Unless we desire to buy our
books by the pound or bid them in at
SO much per lineal yard of cloth cover
our sytem of selection must be radi-
cally revised for the above is virtual
ly what the present method means.
The Herald deals entirely with the
evident efficiency of the average Sc
lection board, and that is bad enough.
Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1907-06-28

But the system has produced a feature
far worse than the inefficiency com
planned of-the political rings in many
counties that aid the book monopoly
in disposing Of its wares and in return
receive the assistance of the corpora
tion behind the monopoly in gaining
and maintaining control of the county.
In many of the counties the book
trust appears to be absolute in its abil-
ity to protect its own interests, being
sustained by political influence.
The Press has previously cited the
case of the Brown county contract and
it has since been supplied with addi-
tional information. The teachers of
the county were in session at the time
the school book contract was awarded
and they proffered their advise to the
board
There were $50 teachers. They vot-
ed unanimously against the school
readers that had been in use during
the five previous years. In the face of
this protest from men and women who
were capable judges, the readers OBJ
jected to were adopted for the coming
FIVE years. OF the 250 teachers all but
IL repudiated the histories in use, but
the histories will remain as the text
books of the county during another
five years.
In Brown county, the political ma
chine is taking steps to secure the re-
moval of those prominent among the
teachers in advancing objections to
certain school books and the Press is
informed that some OF them expect to
lose their situations on account of
their activity in behalf of better edu-
cational facilities than the compact
between the book trust and the poll
ticians affords.
Brown county has been used as an
example of apernicous system because
the Press has been kept in touch with
the proceedings in that county by per
sons who are endeavoring to protect
the educational interests of the young.
That many other counties in the
state are under like control is not to
be questioned. The monopoly reaches
everywhere. In some counties it fails.
In many it succeeds.
1t is charged with corrupting the
education force of the state, so far as
it can-with conducting bureau or

ORDINARILY South Dakota is free
from freaks on the bench, but it re-
mainad for Judge Smith, of Mitchell,
to develop a freak of the freaks. 1t
comes through decision in connec-
ton with liquor license case taken
from the town of Jaspar, Hanson
county. The people voted on the
license question and there were 81
votes for license and Sc votes against
license, majority of one in favor of
license. The Anti-Saloon League
took the matter into court, alleging
that 81 was not a majority of all the
votes which might have been cast and
produced poll list of the town to
substantiate their claim. Upon this
showing Judge Smith granted an or
der directing the town board not to
issue license to sell liquor. The
freakiness of such a decision is ap-
parent to all. The majority of all
legal voters cast at any election should
and does decide any and all question
voted upon at at that election, pro-
vided the statute does not require
any particular majority as is some
times the case on certain questions
such as issuing bonds, etc. In rend-
ering the decision in this case Judge
Smith assumes to cast the vote of
those who did not vote in favor of no
license. Under such ruling there
Is not man holding county or Leg
islative Office in Kingsbury county
who was legally elected last fall. BY
what right does a circuit Judge as.
sumo to cast the vote of men who
did not vote and thus make void the
will of the majority of those citizens
who performed their duty and did
votei Too much is often assumed by
the courts, but the limit has been
reached when il takes the poll list
and casts the votes Of all those who
did not vote,
