In speaking of the neighboring
city of Spokane. If it is a good
thing for her to support her home
industries. why is it not good
thing for Kendrick to do likewise.
This is a matter that should appeal
to every citizen of Latah county.
Build up. your own community and
let the other fellows do likewise.
Let US support those who invest their
money in our town or our country,
We are all one and should help one

An item of interest that was called
to our notice this week, was the fact
that great many of the voters of
the county were under the impress
sion that the Sheriff and Assessor
could not succeed themselves. Ac-
cording to the law they can, so if
you have friend, or if the men that
are now in these offices are worthy
of being reelected you are free to
get them back at the next election.

them. (b) In locating the windbreak
n needs to look to the future. A
good deal Of live stock will necessa-
rily be kept on the North Dakota
farms. This stock will do much bet
ter in the protection Of q hedge than;
If subjected to the prairie winds. IL
will also be much easier to feed and
care for stock in the protection of q
good windbreak. So make the wind5
break include a space that will likely
be used for carrying the live stock
through the winter. (c) In the pro-
lection Of a windbreak q great many
varieties Of trees and fruits that can!
not endure the wind will flourish-
Therefore considerable space should
be fnclosed by the w%indbreak for this
purpose. The space thus provided for
the stock and for trees and fruit will
not be waste, even II not used for
these purposes for some time. More
snow will gather here than on the
unprotected prairie, which will mean
that this space will be well watered
and that larger crops Of grain,
grasses and alfalfa can be grown here
than elsewhere on the farm. This
will also be an ideal place for the
garden.
From this 1t is plain that the wind
break should 1nclose a considerable
area. The windbreak will also have
considerable influence in checking
the effects of hot winds through
checking the winds velocity and
through cooling it through the mois,
ture that transpires from the leaves.
To plant the windbreak will depend
some on the prevailing winds. The
north and west sides will need pro-
lection and the other sides to q less
extent. 1t might be we'll to plant two
rows on the north and west sides and
q single row on the south and east
Broken rows might answer on these
two sides.
Trees to do we'll should be planted
on land that has raised at least one
crop. Well titled cor or potato
ground is usually in an ideal condition
for giving trees a good start.
The willow can be started from
cuttings made from branches one
fourth to three-fourths Of an inch II
diameter. or even larger, and ten tt
twelve inches long. These can usu
ally be secured for $3.50 to $500 pc,
thousand. Set them in the ground &C
that they will project a couple Of
inches. 1t is also we'll to set them
at a small angle rather than straight
up, as this causes the soil to pack
tightly against them. Cultivate the
soil to a distance of eight to ten feet
on each side Of the hedge.

NORTH DAKOTA FRUITS
Comparatively Easy Task |
Right Kind Selected.
Sad Mistake 10 Made by Many That
Nothing but Eastern Varieties
Will sueceed-sand Cherry 10
Native, Grows AbundantIy.

i(By L. R. wALDRON. Superintendent
f! Dickinson Satisfactory
To grow fruits In North Dakota is
comparatively easy, II only the right
kinds are selected. One trouble hith-
erto has been the neglect Of the fruits
that succeed. Too much emphasis is
placed upon such fruits as apples, GER
tain kinds of plums, eastern cherries,
~Faspberries, Strawberries and other
kinds that can be grown only with
considerable skill. III.
A study Of our wild fruits should
convince one that fruit raising may
Ibe made certain and profitable in
North Dakota. Moreover, our exper-
fence in the last few years has been
rather convincing in favor of fruit
growing.
North Dakota is populated mostly
by eastern people, and eastern people
ARE naturally used to eastern fruits.
They come to this state and ind that
people, as a rule, buy their fruit in
stead Of growing 1t. They come to
1.-THE conclusion Immediately that If
fruit Is to be grown it must natur-
ALLY be eastern fruit. This conclusion
is illogical and in many cases 1t
would be impracticable to grow east
lern fruits. The logical thing to do is
Ito grow the native fruits or at least
those fruits that contain native blood.
Many people turn up their noses at
Jour native fruit, replying at ono that
1T has not sufficient quality for eco.
inomic use. This is a very sad mis-
take, that all knowing ones are aware
|of. North Dakota fruits have quality
Iplus and it lies with the housekeeper
ito bring it to the surface.
1: Let us take the sand cherry for an
Example. This plant Is native to the
Estate and is found rather abundant
!ly. It prefers the tops and steep
sides Of buttes. AS found growing
lwild, 1t Is a most insignificant plant
for a shrub. but 1t has learned tc

But what happens when this. fruit,
having apparently negative qualities,
Is transplanted and given a sufi..
cheney Of room and moisture. It IN.
dergoes such a profound change that
its closest friend would scarcely know
it. In a year or so after being trans
planted 1t seems almost to explode. A
plant three or four inches high bear
ing a few leaves and possibly two or
three cherries will attain a height Of
three or more feet, and a diameter or
spread of six feet. And instead Of
bearing merely enough fruit to pro-
duce another sand cherry, it will pro-
duce a peck or more Of excellent
cherries. have personally seen this
change, come about and know that the
facts are as l have given them.
In all probability not n North Da-,
kotan in five hundred Is aware of the
excellent cooking qualities of our ma
tive sand cherry. It is a question Of
having eyes and seeing not; Of living
in a bounteous orchard of fruit and ig1
norant Of the fact.
Some of them are excellent for eat
ing out of hand, while others are too
tart and astringent for this purpose.
There is no question about their cook
ing value. They make pies that are
second only to the apple pies that
mother used to make" and which
are much superior to peach, apricot,
or plum pies. They make excellent
sauce and buildings, and jelly and
strip obtained from them are strictly
first class.
With these statements in it's favor
one would think that every reader
of this article would not only begin
growing sand cherries in 1912, but
that he would make strenuous efforts
to induce his neighbors to do the
same. Will this be the case? Far
from 1t. This writing Of mine will
hardly make a noticeable rifle. And
why is this? 1t is simply because !
am advocating the use of something
that Is common and native. If would
describe some new and wonderful
wonder berry" originated in Other
lands, of incipid flavor and Of nc
value to this state, I would be. be
sieged with letters from all parts Of
North Dakota with frantic requests
for information.
The illustration shows a native
sand cherry plant four years aftel
transplanting. 1t has a spread of 81,
feet and is over three feet tall. Whel
transplanted it was six or eigh'
inches high, utterly insignificant II

of fine fruit in 1911.

surgical removal, the administration

doses at the rate Of Is grains of iodide
|of potassium for every 100 pounds Of

isolved in a half pint of water or 90

This treatment should be kept uu
