FRUIT CULTURE
IN NORTH DAKOTA
PROFESSOR WALDRoN OF THE A..
G. TELLS SOME or THE THINGS
WHICH MUST BE DONE TO AS.
SURE SUCCESS wiNpRREAks
AND NORTH EXPOSURES.

THE success that the experiment
station n many private growers
have had with small fruits has led to
numerous inquiries as to. the methods
employed and the varieties that may
be recommended" says Prof. c. b.
Waldron of the A. G. I'VE do not adj
wise anyone to attempt the cultivation
OF fruits without providing for their
shelter by means of windbreaks. This
is particularly true of Strawberries
that suffer greatly through the effects
OF drying south winds and applies in a
greater or less degree to all fruits.
The shelter should be along the
south as the destructive winds come
from that quarter. For the location Of
the fruit plantation select a north or
northeast slope where 1t can be OBJ
tanned and at any rate avoid a south
or west one.
Provision must also be made such
n a water will not remain on the
ground for n length of time during
the spring thaws or after heavy rains.
Where the rainfall is not heavy, as
in North Dakota, one should avoid a
sandy or gravelly soil. In mellow soil
the roots of Strawberries extend down
two and one-half feet and of the 9TH
er fruits probably as deep. From this
fact will be seen the necessity Of pro-
viding a place having a deep, mellow
soil free from gumbo and Of course
from alkali.
ANY soils excepting those natur-
ally too light will be benefited by a
deep blowing and subsequent firming
down with a harrow. We have not
found it necessary nor even profitable
to fertilize the soil at the station on
which fruit is growing. CT course
soil having a much less degree of fer
tility would be benefited by blowing
under a good dressing Of well rotted
stable manure. Unless It is so thor
oughly decomposed as to mix readily
with the soil it will be better not to use
any,. 1t is generally recommended that
currants and gooseberries have heav-
Ter soil than raspberries and while that
rule may be successfully applied in To-
c~alities having variable soil and heavy
rainfall it is sufficient to say under
our own conditions that the deepest
and best soil should be selected on
which to grow all Of our fruits. While
there are ~undoubted difficulties to be
encountered in growing fruit in North
Dakota, still some of the fruits may be
made to do unusually well here and
c msidering the high prices to be OBJ
tanned others are quite as profitable
here as in more favored localities"

Graustark, the exquisite story Of
love and romance. which proved SO big
q success in the book world, has scored
as a theatrical Offering, will be the at
traction at the Fargo operahouse this
afternoon and evening.
The tremendous popularity of Grace
Hayward's Decentralization and GEO. d
Bakers adoption of Nc Cutcheon,s nov
ell is readily enough guessed at when
one stops to consider the absolute lack
OF melodramatic features, and the pres
ence Of so much clean and wholesome
dialogue and interesting stage pic
lures.
The most talked of comedy Of the
present day, The Travelling salesman
James Forbes successor to The Chorus
Lady, is announced as an early visitor
to the Fargo operahouse on Wednesday
evening.
In view of the fact that this is the
greatest comedy success of two sea-
sons, its advent should be awaited with
unusual interest, Don Macmillan will
be seen in the tituiar role.

for franchise will be recommended to the

chise committee of that body, consisting
of Mayor Gaynor, Controller Prendergast
and the president OF the Board Of Alder
men. Colonel A. i. Kline. acting in the
latter capacity. writes the report, which

nected with the existing Brooklyn surface
lines and the Third Avenue Railroad, in
Manhattan. The company was organized
after the Independent three-cent-fare line
had been formed 10 give service over the
Manhattan Bridge, which the regular COM
panies had been backward about offering.
The Three Cent Fare Company offers to
give a ride from the North River 10 the

extension for 3 cents. two tickets for )

order proper traffic agreements in the IN

Another hitch has been the inability Of

PACKERS PROFITS WERE BIG
Firm Incorporated IL Years Ago
Has Surplus of S70,00O,000.

Chicago March 5.-The government ex-
poets to rest its case in the trial Of the
ten meat packers charged with criminal
violation Of the Sherman law either to-
morrow or Thursday. The trial, which
began on December 6. was materially
shortened to-day, when both sides agreed
10 have read 20 the jury stipulated cor
porate statements describing the organi-
cation and financial condition OF the four
companies controlled by the defendants
instead Of calling a score of witnesses 10
prove the facts.
The first of these statements was lat
of Armour & Co, which was read TO the
jury in the afternoon by Government
Counsel Pierce Butler. II showed that
the company was incorporated in 1900
with capital stock OF s2o.oo0.o00 and
has surplus OF s70.OO0,0 900.
Government Counsel James NJ Sheean
introduced in evidence bank checks
amounting to s3SO,00o which were used
by tho National Packing Company in pur-
chasing the New York Butchers Dressed
Meat Company in 1907.
When the government rests its case tho
defence will make formal motion asking
Judge Carpenter TO instruct tho Jury 10
return 2 verdict Of not guilty in the case
Of each defendant on the ground that the
governments proof is insufficient. The
argument on this motion will occupy sew
eral days.
