WHY ULCH TREES.

Anything pertaining to trees, as to
their planting and culture, is always
interesting, and a profitable subject
for uis CT ssion in this part of the corn
belt. At this time we are o going
to urge tree-planting SO much, because
the time for that has not yet arrived.
A month later is the proper time for
that. Now is the time to mulch your
fruit t~rees--not forest trees. Forest
trees should start their right growth
in the spring early and the more they
grow during the seson the better they
serve the purpose for which they were
planted. But unless fruit trees are
kept back in the spring by keeping the
frost in the ground under a m~ulching,
thew often leaf out aid bud too early
and are caught by a late frost that
happens often in this latitude and even
much further south than this. The
only safe guard against loss of fruit by
a late frost is to have the trees bud
after all danger of frost is past. This
Ear be done by mulching of the right
depth over the roots of the trees.
Forest trees re also benefited by
mulching, but II should rot be done
until about June. The purpose is to
keep down weeds, conserve moisture
and furnish fertility. Trees are need
ed on every farm and around every
home. Then let US take care of
them.

KILL SMUT.

Seeding will soon be in order. The
warm south winds that prevailed the
first of the week have spread al
epidemic of spring fever among the
rural inhabitants that they will not be
able to overcome. The only cure for
it is work in the fields. While we are
thus effected let US consider the first
work-seeding wheat. While the
season is not as early as it is some
years yet it is not late SO as to effect
prospects in the least. Even in a late
eason it does not pay to rush work so
that proper preparation of the seed bed
is not made. Then it is even more
important. But the treating of the
seed for smut with q formaldehyde
solution should not be overlooked. 1t
is very simple and pays immensely in
increased yield. The formaldehyde

DO you know that the great state Of South Dakota is calling
you. That the opportunities for homeso ekers and investors are
greater here than any place in the United States.
The climate of the state is ideal for diversified farming. Corn
is KING. But small grains of all kinds do we'll, rs we'll as nearly
all kinds of grasses. 1t is the natural home of Alfalfa.
The western part of the state offers the best opportunities for
those having surplus means. A whole Empire in its infancy OF

and every indication of Oil, all awaiting Capital to develop it,
The streams would furnish power enough if harnessed, to electrify
the whole nation.
Almost unlimited acres of fertile agricultural lands awaiting
the pillow and the enterprising developer to make them the producers
of untold wealth.
The poor mar with limited means should loose no time taking
of the opportunities which here await him. The capital
list with money should get in now and reap a hundred fold.
Don't be the one who in a few years will say Opportunity

Commence right now and investigate, let your own reason tell
you that what, l tell you are facts.
Eastern South Dakota presents opportunities unlimited for
those who are in command of capital and would prefer to have things
ready made and enterprises already established. 1t simply requires
more capital to get in as the parties coming to eastern s. D. will
have to buy a lot of unearned increment in things already es-
|tablished, but new enterprise can be launched with q start from the
ground floor. Fa { rits and mills are needed to bsMer conserve the

L-O.T-M-O-T-W Hive No. % of the
city of Wagner, South Dakota, was
first organized on the 4th day Of March
A. D. 1893, with a charter member
ship of twenty-four.
The first ~ocffiers as elected at that
time were as follows, to-wit:
Miss Louise Wepkin G, Past Com
mander Mrs. Minnie L. Grimes, Com
mander Mrs. Merle Mcdonald, Record
keeper.
At the regular review on the 9th
day of March A. D. 1912, it being
the 9th, anniversary of the hive, the
following facts were disclosed;
Total enrolled me nbership 100
Loses by death 3
Withdrawals and dropped
for non-payment of due, A.
Still in good standing Sc
The three losses by death were
benefit members whose insurance was
fully and promptly paid. The present
financial standing of the hive is excel
lent and is considered one of the fore
most, enterprising and progressive
orders of our fourishing young city.
The universally high standard of
merit to which it is credited as a fra
ternaI order is justly deserved, and of
which its members are proud. Pro-
tecting its members most fully and Ii
berally, its insurance featues are of
great economic value. Its social en-
tertainments have met with marked
success, ami the moral and enlighten-
ing influences of it have reached far
beyond its immediate membership. 1t
is earnestly hoped that a large number
of our lady friends /. both in and out of
the city will see fit to associate them
selves with Us ere it is too late, for
surely at last to each and all will come

grow dim and descend to it's setting ia
