large sections this alone would have
saved the grain crops and in many!
places where there was no crop the
past season a half crop might have

4. Groves of trees will in time pro-
duce a large revenue or at least save
a large outlay for fuel and fence
posts. While much Of this area is un-
derlaid wit. Ignite coal which will be
the principal fuel for all time, yet
large quantities of wood will be used
for kindling and for a quick summer
fuel if it can be obtained cheaply.
AS the dry-farming country becomes
older the humus will be depleted and
means will have to be employed to
keep up the humus supply in the soil.
This can probably only be done
through the agency of large herds of
live stock being kept on the farms.
In order that this may be done the
farms must be fenced. This will u

Fence posts are now almost prohibi-
tive in price and they. will probably
be very much higher ten years from
now than in the present time. An
acre Of white willow in the course Of
ten to twelve years will produce over
1000 fence posts worth at least ten
cents each on the farm where they are
grown.
6. All over the treeless plains song
and insect-eating birds are largely
conspicuous by their absence. When
the farmers of a community begin
planting groves these birds begin to
find suitable places TO build their nests
and as the groves grow, the song and
insect-eating birds increase rapidly
in the community, the former filling
the air with melody and the latter
destroying vast numbers Of insects
Injurious to crops. If a ten-acre
grove of trees was growing on every
quarter section of land the bird popu-
lation would be so much larger that
the insects injurious to crops would

TREES FOR DRY FARM,
Afford Excellent Protection for
Farm Yard and Buildings.
% Much to Beauty Landscape and
Relieve Monotony Of aPrairies-
Will Furnish Ample Supply Of
Fence Posts and Fuel.

d w. r. POSTEN, Superintendent of
Demonstration Farms.)
In the dry-farming sections of the
Dakotas and Montana some crops are
peculiarly adapted to dry-farming
methods. Trees belong to this class
as truly as wheat and corn though
atIfarmers do not regard them as
yrees rea1iie as much water
borg than most cereal crops
1"tan be cultivated every year
a mulch can be kept continu-
--ously on the land, thus assuring the
trees practically all the rain that
falls. They stop the drifting snow and
retain all the nov that. falls on the
land actually occupied by the trees
themselves. In this way a tree
plantation If rightly cared for will
grow In any part of the western
part of the Dakotas or Montana
where the land is reasonably free
from a1kali, hard pan and gravel.
Why should every farmer of this
region set out a liberal plantation of
trees, say from five to twenty acres?
l. The farm-yard and buildings
should be protected from the sweep
ing winds of autumn, winter and
spring. n order to do this a dense
grove should be set out on the north
ana west sides of the building and q
heavy shelter belt on the south will
DO much to break the strong south
winds that are often ~disagreeable, par

2. Groves of trees do much to beau
ufy the landscape and to relieve the
monotony of the prairies. Many peo-
pie particularly in a new country do
not consider beautiful farm surround
ings an asset, yet it may be the very
thing that may chance the children to
remain on the farm rather than rush
to the overcrowded city where they
are not needed half so badly as on
the farm where they were reared. If
the farm should ever be for sale a
good grove will do much to bring a
handsome price.
3. Groves of trees do much to stop
the devastating hot winds such as
proved so disastrous to the western
Dakotas the past season. If there had
been from ten to twenty acres of
trees on every quarter section of land
over this area, the winds would have
been checked to a considerable degree
and the moisture which the leaves
would have given to the air by evapor-
ton from their surface would have
probably cooled the atmosphere from

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 on 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. 8. The

look in Missouri for Taft and
ridiculing the idea that there was
any Republican insurgency in
the grand old state, and here
comes the Republican city cen
tral committee of st. Louis, at
its first meeting of the present
campaign, and endorses former
President Roosevelt, with a glow
ing laudation of his qualities as
a statesman and citizen, for the
Republican presidential nomina-
tion in preference to Taft by a
vote of about two to one. The
CD must be rather dense if this
is the best it can do in keeping
up with the true situation of the
party in Missouri. 1t has been
rude awakening for our big city
contemporary, and yet 1t still
persists that in it's action the
committee has not voiced the
real sentiment of the party in
Missouri. However, it is a pos
sibility too remote for serious
consideration that these COM
mitteemen voted in opposition
to their personal and individual
feeling in regard to their choice
of the man they want at the head
of their party ticket. We may
assume from the position they
hold that they are fairly intelli-
gent men, and that the majority
of them who supported the
Roosevelt resolution are as capa-
BILE Of knowing their own minds
as those of the minority who
voted against it. We know that
the sentiment expressed in the
resolution is widespread over
Missouri, speaking for this parti-
cular section of the state. Taft
is regarded as a certain loser,
if nominated; the party cannot
get together on LaFollette, but
it can and would unite on ROOse-
velt. By discarding Taft for
Roosevelt the Republican party
would discredit itself less than
it would by sticking to Taft, for
the latter got off of the Republi-
can platform of 1908 as soon as
he was inaugurated.
