WILL CARRY
TREES FREE
A RIG STEP TOWARD RE-FORES-
TRATION TAKEN BY RAIL
.H WAY COMPANYS a

A dispatch sent OUT from rSIkS
states that in order to encourage the
planting Of trees in the state rail-
roads passing through the state have
agreed to carry free Of charge freight
shipments Of trees and shrubbery,
which are ordered by municipalities.
counties or Townships. The dispatch
states that tie railroads would be wili-
ing to extend the privilege to indi-
vidaals. but the interstate commerce
laws make It impossible to do 20.
Several agencies, including the
NoEth Dalreta better Farming Asso.
citation and the North Dakota Agricul-
tural college, will wage . campaign
to induce communities to take steps
to plant more trees. Trees are one 1t
tie great needs Of the statA say the
experts. The railroads themselves
are taking the lead and trees are be-
ing planted across the state On tho
right of way Of every company oper-
afing.
The Great ....orthern have already
planted many trees along their line
and will plant more each yaaE. The
tzaes that have been planAsd have
grown nicely during the past ssamsr
ana in time will be . great help to
the road lin preventing winter block
ades of snow.
1.-The drifting of soil is enc Of the
big problems of farming in the north
west" !" says w. c. Palmer, Of the North
Dakota Agricultural college. At the
Canadian experiment station in Saska-
toon this problem has been solved and
the planting Of trees was the solution.
When the staten was started twenty
five years agoiit was fiat prairie. Now
frnm q short distance the farm looks
like q forest. A belt Of trees two or
three rods wide has been planted
around the entire farm and the fields
are separated by double rows Of trees.
Thesettrees breaktthe force Of the wind
and the soil no longer drifts"
President j. H. Worst of the aEricul-
turaa college also has plan for plant
ing trees in the state. He suggests
that q row of trees be planted On each
east and west line in the state. These
rows of trees running across the state
at intervals of one mile would help to
prevent the drift Of soil as well as
lessen the loss by hat winds which
at certain seasons sweep across the
prairies.

Metchnikoff, It IL Said, Has Found
Microb To Preserve Youth.


There is considerable discussion
between scientists in France in regard
to the announcement by Professor
Metchnikoff, of the Pasteur Institute,
that he is studying the effectiveness
of microbe called "glycobactor" as
preventive of old age.
Prof. Armand Gautier, who is mem
Der of the Academy of Sciences, as well
as the Academy of Medicine, and Prof.
Berillon, while admitting interest in
Professor Metchnikoff's study, are in
clined to doubt its practicability.
Professor Metchnikoff says he has
found bene6cent microbe in the in
testines of dog, which, if transferred
in the intestines of man, probably
would generate sufficient sugar to des-
troy the human intestinal microbes
which are responsible for the maladies
of old age.
