Growing Strawberries in this state
is considered impracticable by great
many people, yet it is as easy. II not
easier. to grow a crop Of Strawberries
than crop OF wheat. Strawberry
plants are exceedingly productive in
this state, and many a bowl heaped
with luscious home grown fruit has
graccd the table Of the writer for
many years past. Last year patch
OF twelve rows two hundred feet long
produced four hundred quarts Of
sale berries. besides those canned
and eaten in shOrtcake or with
cream. Mir. Bunzendahl. OF FOrman,
Sargent county. produced wonder-
full crop of Strawberries the past sea-
son; and his neighbor Mrs. john
son. sold over fifty dollars worth Of
berries from a sixteenth-acre patch
during the summer of 1906 The
abundant crops in the gardens OF the
North Dakota agricultural college at
Fargo the past few years prove be-
yond doubt that Strawberries are a
sure and remunerative crop in North
Dakota.

conditions is the Senator Dunlap"

Any good. rich loan that is ma
turally well drained is suited for
growing Strawberries A liberal
coating of well-rotted manure ap-
piled TO the land before plowing will
conserve the moisture and aid very
materially i'm the production of a
good crop of berries. The land should
be thoroughly narrowed or raked to
make good firm plant bed Set the
plants in rows four feet apart. al
lowing the space of two feet between
plants. In planting spread the roots
in the ground as much as possible,
taking care at the same time not
TO cover the heart of the plant. which
should be left even with the top Of
the dirt Tramp the earth down firm-
ly around each plant. This Is the
most important point in planting, as
plants often fail to grow when the
earth is loose around the roots.
Frequent cultivation throughout
the summer is necessary to insure
conservation of the soil moisture,
and to get good. vigorous plants for
fruiting the next season. As soon
as the plants begin sending out rum
ners, rake them in between the pa
rent plants. Keep the rows narrow.
not exceeding a foot and half in
width. and allow only four or five
young plants to come from one pa

ed If the plants are too thick In the
row, the young plants will not ri.

much moisture out of the soil
Strawberry plants may be secured
from commercial growers for about
five dollars per thousand. Two dozen
plants make very good start. and
if we'll cared for should produce at
least 100 fruiting plants next year.
Twenty-four plants at the college In
1900 yielded over twenty-four quarts
of fine fruit. No garden is COM
plete without berry patch. Begin
this year and add to your table one
of the most delicious Of fruits. Who

Planted Trout Fry

Superintendent ID. 5. Crawford,
of the Saratoga fish hatchery,
made II trip to the Slavery country
Saturday aud planted about 10000
trout fry in those streams. The
trip was made under the most ia
vorable circumstances the weather
being fine and not II single fish
WAS lost on the trip. He placed
10000 in the Big Slavery and
10000 in the Little Slavery. He
reports the fishing in the Slavery

Democratic Convention Now in
Session in Denver-Bis
Fight On.

The National Democratic Con-

Denver, and the great unwashed

reputation of being ''agin the gov
ernment."
The Bryan forces are in conf
plete control and the democratic
ticket will he headed by the great
"try-againer," with Gray, of Della
ware, a probable running mate.
There is one magnificent thing
about a democratic gathering. No
matter if it is run by a boss more
%autocratic than he of the big stick
who resides at the nations capitol,
there is always a certainty of
scraps. 1t has been said by a
philosopher named Dooley that
where ten Democrats are gathered
iogather, there is II fight before
the meeting is called to order, in.
termittent fights during the pro-
ceedings and n regular rough
house going home. So it is prov.
ing in the Denver convention,
ven though there is not a ghost
Of a show for those putting up the
scrap to win.
The platform was completed
yesterday afternoon, and every
thing Bryan advocated was un-
doubtedly incorporated therein.

A reg ular old time picnic was
enjoyed ON the Fourth, by a crowd
of over II hundred people, who
came from all over the valley to a
point near the foo, of Benefits
Peak, at the mouth of Brush
creek.
Dinner WAS cooked and served
on the grounds, and all who have
experienced the delights of Il big
picnic dinner, where every known
variety of all sorts of good things
are served, can vouch for the ex-
cellence Of the spread.
During the day horse racing,
foot racing. jumping, etc, were
INDUCED in, while Shelley Wood
discoursed sweet music with a

A Word to the Wise.

One of the most unpleasant fea-
lures of the fishing and hunting
is the total disregard of the
rights of property holders along
the streams. Hunters or fisher
men will turn their horses loose
in the meadows, fish almost in the
door yards of the residents and
then cook dinner at noon with
rails torn from the fence. This
sort o. thing gets somewhat tire
some, and while the above sort of
men are probably in the minority,
1t is astonishing to note the self
ishness and disregard of the
ranchman's rights by parties who
have lived in the country long
enough to know better.
The result is the ranchman gets
Justly indignant, and the right to
pass thru his premises, or to fish
along the streams is denied to ev
eryone-the innocent are made to
suffer equally with the hog who
has no regard for others than
himself. Such a condition should
not be allowed to exist. The

LARGE ditch
ENTERPRISE
will Cover oil Of the Irritable
Land Between Jack and
North Spring Creeks

c. B. Sterrett, civil engineer,
and party returned Tuesday from
running Il preliminary line of sur
vey for a large ditch that is to
cover, when complete l, all of the
irrisable land between Jack creek
and the north fork of Spring
creek. The scheme contemplates
the building of one or more large
reservoirs on the head waters of
Jack creek and the covering of
nearly all of the land in the foot
hills between the two creeks
named. A syphon will be used to
bring the water up onto the large
fiat just southwest of Saratoga
and cover a tract of land that has
hitherto not been reckonpd on i'm
any irrigation scheme projected
here.
The building of this ditch will
be considered by the men who
are furnishing the capital to fin
ance it as soon as the notes of the
preliminary survey are received in
Denver. The local men behind
the project are w. H. Greene and
). B. Chatterton, who have worked
on the project for some time. Ar
thur LeVan is IN touch with mon-
led men who are seeking invest
ments of this character.
The construction of this canal
will bring some 10000 acres I'M
der irrigation which will all be di-
rectly tributary to Saratoga and
it is natural that the people of
this town should manifest consld-
cradle interest in the success of
the enterprise.
