STATE HoRTlcuLTva.sTs
The Twsnty-secend Annual Meeting
at Pierre, Jan. l7-i9

The State Horticultural society will
hold its annual meeting at Pierre, Jam
uary II to 10. This will be the twen-
ty-second annual meeting of this So
ciety which has done an important
rousing interest in the fruit industry
In this state. The society has been
sending out bulletins, and it's annual
report which will be out soon, con-
tains interesting information in re-
gard to new fruits developed by N. e..
Hanson, the Luther Burbank of this
state.
A bulletin Just sent out by Hansen,
who is the secretary of the sotiety,
tells of new varieties of fruits, and
that the trees which produce them can
be obtained from him at the expert
ment station at Bookings.
The Dakota sand cherry and the ma
tive plum tree are the female parents
of the new fruits. One of these, the
"Opata" is thus described by Mn.
Hansen:
Opata (Sioux Indian for ''bouquet")
First sent out in the spring of 1908
as one-year-old trees from bud; these
bore freely the following year in many
places. The excellent quality of the
Opata makes it worthy of wide popu-
Iarity for table and culinary use. The
female parent, the Dakota sand cherry;
male parent, the Gold plum. very
large hybrid Japanese variety origi-
mated by Luther Burbank and for
which three thousand dollars was paid
when first introduced. Opata is a
plum tree in habit of vigorous growth
and forms fruit buds freely on one
year-old shoots in nursery; foliage
large and glossy. Fruit, one and three
sixteenths inches in diameter, dark
upholstered with blue bloom; weight
one-half ounce; flesh green, firm;
flavor very pleasant, combining the
sprightly acid of the sand cherry with
the rich sweetness of the Gold plum.
Excellent for eating out of han dl
The thin skin can be chewed and
eaten, as it is entinely free from
acerhity. Pit very small season ex-
tremely early. Our best Opata fruits
in 1909 were one and five-eighths
inches in diameter. A very strong
grower in nursery and orchard and
an early and heavy bearer. At this
station in 1909 Opata was fully ripe
when the Manitoba No plum, al
though dull red, was not ripe enough
to eat.
There are number of other new
fruits originated by Mr. Hansen which
are equally valuable and can be grown
proftabIy in this state. Fruit men
all over the state should take an in
terest in their culture and get them
qtarted in their orchards. South Da-
kota is giving to the world some
thing new which will result in the
production of desirable and profitable
fruits in the drier and colder portions
Of the country whirh have hitherto
failed to produce fruit in profitable
quantities

Farmers After Alleged CRATER

Marion-A sleek individual. with
a tongue like piano merchant
has been working the farmers in
this locality for s7S.25 each on a
new trust busting scheme which
brought the victims nothing in re-
turn but small supply of yeterin-
airy remedies of small value and a
certificate with a big gold seal in
one corner reciting that the holder is
a member of some bureau of inform
alton" and entitled to all the benefits
thereof, whatever that may be, for
a period of five years. In each case
the farmer claims to have made a
contract for one year only at an
agreed cost of $l5.25, but when the
copies of the contract were read over
later on it was learned that same COW
cred a 5-year period and that prom
isory note drawing interest at the rate
of 10 per cent had been signed and
delivered in payment.
The victims have employed an at
torney and hope to make a success
full fight against the notes when pre-
scented for payment.
