is among the most sensible and
progressive farmers in the county.

like 5000 tree seeds last year and
has a great variety OF them up and
growing nicely. One OF his neigh
bors told him there was no use TO
plant them, they wouldn't grow,
ETC., but his reply was that he
knew they wouldn't unless he
planted them, so continued. He
is an Iowa farmer and is much
pleased with Quay county. He
says he was told in Iowa that he
couldn't grow trees, but was very
successful, and he will make il win

farmers would plant trees along
