Hints on Tree Planting.

A professional, in directing the remov-
al of some native trees to neighboring
park, was noticed carefully tying
string around certain root as each was
uplifted. In reply to the query as to
WHY this root was marked, he said: ut
is on the east side. When we reset 1t we
shall know just how to turn it to secure
as nearly as possible the natural condi'
tions." Even the sunshine should come
in the old way, to give the least possible
shock to the tree from the removal, was
the doctrine of this specialist-and yet
we often care little for SO small matter.
The Importance of replanting In the
same relation to the compass indicator
brings the thought emphatically that the
natural habit of tree should be learned
before we attempt to bring 1t to our
homes. Swamp willows will scarcely be
a success, though the tree which thrives
best in the adjoining fields will rarely
fail If given q chance. 1t is uncertain
business to try to grow an untried sPe-
cies, though the possible results may be
worth working for. But for any extend
ed tree planting a standard variety In
your own community is best. In the
Ea t it may be maple; in the West, Ca
talpa.
There is no feature of the home more
necessary than trees. In summer they
now largely make the home, as the idea
of out door life is steadily growing; and
IL transplantlng is to be a success, the
natural climate, soil, and even the origi,
nal exposure to the sunshine, should en-
tsr into the process. Tying string to
certain root looked like foolish matter
until the reason of 1t was given, but II
proved really Of vital Importance.

She almost felt her steps tagging as
she approached the bridge. A very
hungry dog had been added to the trio
Of children. Elnora loved all dogs and.
as usual, this one came to her In friend
liness. The children said "Good morn

The dog leaped in glad apprehension
Of something, and Belle scrambled to
her feet and took a step forward. The
look Of famished greed in her eyes
was more than Elnora could bear. She

The Farm as a Factory,

The farm may be likened to factory,
with the acres OF land compared to the
building, and the stock and machinery
to the power equipment of the factory.
Carrying the illustration still further
the horses are the farm motive power,
or engines, and in the place of the coal
bins of the factory we have the oat fields,
and the meadow and pasture lands.
We understand that factory that has
half of its floor space idle Is not likely to
be paying investment. We realize that
there is too great an outlay for heating,
and rent, and maintenance, to render
such handling profitable. Yet We use
but one-half of our farms, and look upon
it as matter of fact that they ought to
pay we'll, and that the "trusts" or some
outside agency is to blame If they do not.

Secretary MacVeagh is considering 3
suggestions that the Treasury Depart
ment distribute some of its surplus funds
among the national banks to be available
for moving crops in the next few weeks.
The working balance in the treasury to-
day was s9O,5OO,OOO. Half this amount,
it is said, could easily be deposited in
banks if necessary. Mr.. MacVeagh prob
ably will discuss with President TAFT

of the necessity and desirability OF de-
hosting some of the government funds

If you want dairy at all, buy heifer

to carry the plants to the period
of early June rains. The only
problem confronting the north
west is the quality of the seed.
The small grain crops have not
graded high, especially wheat,
and as good seed is hard to OBJ
tain and rather costly, it is pro-
bable that much inferior grain
will be used.
Considerable advantage, how
ever, will be gained by the
initial development of the
plants. The top soil is said to
dry quickly in the wind, and
this should prevent growth
too near the surface and insure
deep rootaee, which will give a
healthy stand when the heat Of
midsummer sweeps over the
fields.

County superintendents and

school at Velva again this year.
The school will be in session
four weeks, beginning July 10.
The staff of teachers includes

Test Your Seed Corn

Grand Forks, April II.
One dead ear of corn planted
in each acre of North Dakota
land that is devoted to corn
would cost the farmers of the
state a little more than one
million dollars. Above is
the statement of the Chairman
of the Agricultural Committee
of the Grand Forks CONNER
cial Club. The average ear of
seed corn has about 800, which,
if all grow, will produce 300
stalks, which should average
800 good ears of corn. goo ears
of corn would make about 8
bushels, which at 40 cents per
bushel, would be worth So. 20.
To prevent even small por-
ton of this possible loss, trem-
endous pressure is being
brought to bear upon North
Dakota agriculturists to test
the seed corn. In many locali-
ties tests show from one-fourth
to one-half of the ears unfit to
plant. Northern grown seed
should be used, and it should
be thoroughly tested now.

Several Burdens Added 10 the Work
OF the Assessor This Year
ALL VOTERS TO Be REGISTERED
Must Also Gather Statistics, Com.
pile Military List and Make
Assessment

The duties of the assessor are
many and varied this year. In
addition to assessing real and
personel property, he is to take
a registration of all the male
voters, gather statistical records
of crops, ETC., compile a list of
all males between the ages of
l8 and 45 who are eligible for
military duty and take applica-
tions for state hail insurance.
Under the recent decision of
the supreme court the naturali-
cation clause in the registra-
tion affidavit was knocked out,
which helps some, and it was
also ruled that it was not neces-
sary to take the registration of
women. Those who refuse to
state their party affiliations to
the assessor will be unable to
vote at the primary in June.
The assessors who have re-
ceived and receipted for their
supplies are as follows:
Gilbert Peterson, Kane.
George r. White, Whitby.
