GROWING MOND
FOR POSTS

By Geo. II. Whiting in The South
Dakota Farmer: There seems to be
a general demand for some kind of
tree that can be3grown profitably for
posts throughout the northwestern
prairie states.
We believe that the Diamond or
Red Willow, which is a native along
the Missouri River and other streams
in the Dakotas, will in q general way
NIL the bill nicely. 1t is grown very
readily both from cuttings and seed
lings, which L easily obtained and
are not expensive. The tree, whine
1t e not grow to a very large size,
grows large enough to make a good
sized post out OF the butt cut and will
sometimes do to split and make two
or more, while the second and third
cuts will make small posts or stakes
hal are always useful on the farm
and its wood is very durable and
lasting.
-
1t grows to maturity or useful
size very quickly. With good care
it will be profitable to cut at from 6
to IL years after planting. depending
somewhat on soil and water supply.
While it grows faster and does better
on low wet ground, it seems to stanu
drought as we'll as any Of the willow
family that l know Of.
After cutting. it may be allowed to
grow up again from the stump
when it will grow to post size much
more quickly that it did the first
time. In this way, a farmer can from
a patch OF two or three acres, have
a perpetual supply of posts for a
good sized farm. We a think OF
no other variety Of tree that will fill
the gap for fence posts in the North
west. after you get North Of the Ca
talpa Zone (Which leave off at about
the north line of lowa), SO we'll as
the Diamond Willow, as it is perfect
ly hardy in any part Of this territory,
In growing the Diamond Willow
for posts. you should choose a rich
and we'll subdued piece of land, and
it it is low and wet SO much the bet
ter; in fact. you can sometimes use
a piece of low wet land to good adj
vantage that is hardly fit for CROP
ping to grain.
You should get your ground deep
iy plowed and we'll pulverized, then
mark 1t OF one way with a four-foot
commander. Plant the trees or
cuttings in early spring. two feet
apart in the row which will give 5.444
trees per acre. If cuttings are used
they should be planted very early in
the spring or in the fall. Put them
down SO that only ont bud it above
the surface.
Seedlings cost a little more than
cuttings. but one is more sure OF get
ting a full stand than with cuttings
and this is very important. as it is
hard to fill in afterwards and get a
uniform size to your plantation. l
would use trees of the ~ to 18-inch
or the 18 to 24-inch sizes, though
some prefer to use the 2 to 3-ft. size
as they r easier to cultivate than
the smaller sizes.
Begin cultivation early and do it
thoroughly. keep down all weeds and
grass, and If the season is dry. keep
a good dust blanket on the plat; Gull
tivation or mulch should be strictly
attended to. until the trees entirely
shade the ground. Every farm onthe
northwest prairies should have one
OF these post plantations IL not other
wise supplied. Try one and you will
be pleased with 1t.

ANNEXATION
MEETS WITH
MUCH FAVOR
Hammond Has Strong Sup
porters in Rural Districts
Who Want to Get in the
Municipal Band Wagon AS
Soon as Possible.

With good. strong supporters in the
rural territory south of Hammond fa-
voring the annexation of the nine
square miles to the city, the task of
the demonstrators to get the neces-
sary Is per cent of the signatures of
the affected property owners does not
look quite so encouraging as 1t did at
first. From the meager informa tion
which came from the camp of the re-
monstrators this morning it appears
that that they are leaving no stone
unturned to get into Communications
with every property owner to get his
signature either directly or by power
of attorney before he will have heard
the arguments in favor of the annexa-
ton.
City taxes and increased taxation all
around is the bugahoo that is turned
loose on the people in the district to be
annexed, but the annexationists say it
Is nothing more than bugaboo- I
IncOntrovertibIe Arguments.
The annexationists use several in
controvertible arguments. They say
that with the growth and develop
ment it will be only question of time
before the territory will be annexed.
II Hammond does mot annex the terri
tory, which is property its own. Gary
VIII. and the steel city with its utter
disregard for boundary lines is said to
have Matched out a plan to strike
quietly and quickly at the first oppor-
tunity to extend its city limits to the
Illinois state line.
q Another argument that is advanced
Va favor of the annexation IS that the
4 cost to fKltthe demonstrates must be
borne by signers and there will be
costs, whether. the demonstrators are
successful or not. The law does not
provide that money in the township
fund may be used to fight annexation

vention and that he wanted Ave dol

did not have any money with them and
that they asked the attorney to accom-
pany them to their qneighborhood,

4. A. A. STAG
PlEASES A
BIG CROWD

But for some questionable tactics in
a boxing contest before the H. A. A.
at stag last night, the entire athletic
program pleased a fairly big crowd.
In an eight-round mill between
Young Stewart and Pete Savoy, Savoy
in the second round appealed to Jimmy
Clabby, the referee, asking him to dis
bar Stewart on the grounds that he had
purposely delivered a foul blow. Ref
cree cIabby gave Stewart the benefit of
the doubt and permitted the contest
to continue, but stopped it in the third.
when DR.. Young, after an examination.
found that Stewart had been incapaci-
tated because of a foul blow by Savoy,
who. according to Stewards charge,
kicked him in the groin with his knee.
The main bout was between kid"
Black and frankie Lynn. 1t was sched- i
uled to go ten rounds, but was stopped
in the NTH by Referee Clabby, because
Black accidentally struck a foul blow
In the six-round go between Ora
Nichols and Eddie Clabby. the con-
test came to end after~the third round.
Clabby having shown himself the SUI
perior boxer.
The crowd was treated to a good
wrestling match between Ernie War
ner and Emil Gustafson, Warner hav-
ing gained the first fall in eight min
utes and the second in fourteen min
utes. Warner handled himself and his
opponent like a professional.
The contest was held in accordance
with the rules recently adopted by the
club and the police.
Jimmy Clabby gave short talk to
his friends. telling them of his trip
around the world and assuring them
that the best part of it was the home
coming
1t was announced last night that
in the future there would be more
wrestling matches stays. and that Hen
ry Burge, who knows the boxing game,
will make the future matches, and that
he will attempt to bring clever talent
together.

Efforts to organize baseball team
for Gary to join the Northern Indiana
baseball league may yet prove sue
cessful as Charles c. Mullen an old
time base ball manager and Herbert
Erickson have taken it upon them
selves toy organize a Gary team and
have gathered up an aggregation of
players who promise TO hold the honors
even with the other teams in the
league this season.
For a time it appeared that Gary
would not be represented in the league
as the former manager could see no
profit in the venture in that they had
no local base ball diamond.
Manager Mullen is now looking fo-
