KEYNOTE TO TREE GROWING
Success Depends Upon Furnishing
Conditions Required for Making
GroWth-Few Trees OH Plains.

(By w. c. PALMER, Agricultural Editor,
North Dakota Agricultural College.
Success in tree growing depends
upon furnishing the tree the condi-
tons which are required for making
growth. It needs sunshine and air,
which it gets by sending up its stems,
spreading its branches and unfolding
Us leaves; temperature it gets by
taking advantage of the season; mois-
ture and plant food are not SO easily
secured by trees on the prairies, which
is the a that there are SO few
trees on the western plains.
When nan assists the tree it grows
rapidly and thrives. The main thing
to be done is to supply the moisture
needed, and this can be brought about
by simply keeping the grass and
weeds from growing over the tree
roots; for their roots are nearer the
surface than the tree, consequently
they have the first chance at the
moisture. The result in this unfair
competition Is that the tree suffers.
Judging from the way some people
dig right around the trunk of a tree
and apply fertilizer and manure there,
one would think that the roots were
all in a bundle. This is not the case,
however. The roots extend to quite
a distance from the trunk; SO that
whatever cultivation or mulching or
fertilizing Is done should extend out
at least as far as the ends of the
roots, as there is where most of the
root hairs are that are taking up food
and moisture. The success in tree
growing on the prairie where no ma
tive trees are growing will consist in
letting the tree have all the moisture
that falls over its roots, and this can
be done by keeping away the grass
and weeds that would take it.
Cultivation is the most satisfactory
method of keeping down weeds and
grass. It, however, takes considerable
work. Good results can be secured
by spreading a layer of straw eight
to ten inches deep over the roots.
which is much less work. Straw will
give better results than manure, which
is apt to stimulate the trees so that
they will not properly ripen in the
fall and weeds will also grow more
readily in it.
Give the tree 8. chance and 1t. will
make a splendid growth for you.

SUCCESSFUL SUNDAY JOURNALISM,

SUCCESSFUL SUNDAY JOURNALISM.
For years the unique success of the
Sunday Magazine of THE CHICAGO
RECORD-HERALD has melted other
papers to try to duplicate OF rival it.
but nothing else of the kind can COM
pare for a moment with this remarkable
supplement. 1t was the pioneer in its
particular field and it seems to have
gotten a start that leaves all younger
rivals out of the running.
The Sunday Magazine of THE
RECORD-HERALD is a real magazine,
full of stories and articles by the best
living writer's, illustrated by eminent
artists. superbly printed, and carrying
on its cover each week a masterpiece OF
color work. Both in the beauty of its
pictures and in the entertaining quality
OF its contents it compares favorably
with the best of the independent week
lies. or even monthlies. Its readers are
having a special treat this year in a
unique series of prize stories. An
offer Of $40, 900 in cash prizes-to be
paid in addition to the authors regular
rates is bringing in a rich harvest of
the best stories obtainable. Conan
Doyle. the famous creator of Sherlock
Holmes, has arranged to write three
stories for this contest. Jack London,
Lloyd Osborune, Wallace Irwin, Cyrus
Townsend Brady, Ellis Parker Butler,
Gertrude Anterior. Mrs.. Burton
Harrison, Marie Van Worst, Anne War
net, Mollie Elliot Seawell. Ame]ie
Rives, and scores of other writer's of
national reputation are planning to
compete in it.. At the same time
Sewell ford's inimitable Shorty McCabe
and Torchy stories continue to be con-
slant features. You will also find one of
the best novels of the day running ser
tally in its columns at the present
moment.
1t is not strange that hundreds of
thousands of readers prefer THE SUM-
DAY RECORD-HERALD to all other
papers.

Excetlent Pasture Grass,

Red-top Is a well-known grass and
is found In most parts Of North Amer
lea. It was introduced into cultiva-
ton from Europe, but was probably
native in the northern areas of this
country as we'll. It thrives best in
moist soils, and while valuable as a
hay grass, its greatest usefulness is
as a pasture grass, especially when
grown with other kinds. It yields an
abundance Of smooth; soft stems and
leaves which give a rather. light
weight hay. In rich, moist soils 1t
becomes two to three feet high, but
in dry situations 1t is much shorter.
The open,. spreading head is usually
reddish or purplish in color when
young but becomes green o. pale
when older.
