North Dakota Experiment Station
Grounds.
with as much care. as is. exercised in
planning the house. Some things to
observe in making such a plan are:
/. To place the grove far enough away
from the building, trees should not be
planted in groves closer than ten rods
to the buildings and plenty of room
should be left for the farm-yard and
building that will be built in the fu.
ture. 2. The grove should always be
put or the north and west sides of
the buildings as the cold raw winds
come from these directions. A shell
ter belt on the south will do much to
protect the building from the cold
south winds Of winter as well as the
dry hot winds of summer. 3. The
land should be properly prepared be.
fore planting. Over most Of the Da.
kotas the land should receive a good
coat of manure in the winter. In the
latter part Of May. or early in June
the land should be plowed ten OF
twelve inches deep. This should be
followed the same day with the sur
face packer and harrow. No crop
should be put In on this land the year
before the trees are planted but It
should be summer titled in order to
store up all the water possible and to.
have all the plant food possible avail
able for the young trees the first sea-
son after. they are planted out. The
land should be narrowed after every
rain all summer and no weeds should
be allowed to grow. If necessary to
destroy all the weeds plow lightly
again in July but keep all the weeds
of the land and keep a dust mulch
on the land all summer. II the land
Is SO treated q crop Of trees a be
started the following season even II
no rain falls on most soils Of this
area.
The standard varieties Of trees for
this region are the cottonwood, white
~ AAAV"S 0VAOVA 4Su6oAoA WAAAOWp OOAs
elder, green ash, American elm, hack
berry, wild plum and c~hokecherry.
The cottonwood is not a good forest
tree but It will do we'll in single rows
pr on edges of the grove, where 1t can
get an abundance Of sunshine. It's
chief advantages are that 1t grows
fast, will grow anywhere. and is very
cheap when obtained as a seeding.
The white willow is probably the best
all-around tree on the list. It is very
easily propagated from cuttings. 1t
grows rapidly, 1t has a dense heavy
foliage that remains green late in
the fall, it grows well In a grove or
In single rows. 1t makes excellent
wood and good fence posts. The
Golden Russian wiilowis quite similar
to the white willow. It grows faster,
has a beautiful color but does. not
grow as large, neither is is SO well
suited to: groves as the white willow.

Mexican Martinez, sent to him by
them and has set the case for the
hearing on October 4th before the
full court of Criminal Appeals.
Messrs. Cunningham and King
say the legal points in the case
are:
/. Whether or not a citizen of
J Texas, condemned to die can be
denied the right to appeal on ac-
count of mob violence, and mob
intimidation, preventing the per
fecting of the appeal in the terms
of law.
2. Where notice of appeal is Civ
en- by the condemned man in per-
son, can a mob, by intimidating
his counsel and preventing them
thereby from further perfecting
te appeal defeat the jurisdic-
ton Of the Appellate Court.
Whether or not the district
Judge can in vacation, call a spec
ial session of court, indict. try,
convict and condemn TO the death
penalty a citizen Of Texas.
1t is claimed that the special
term of court at which MARTINEZ
was tried was called in vacation

will make law in Texas not here
