RAISING YOUNG TREES
Follow Natures Methods Closely
as Possible.
II Would Be Absolutely Foolish to
Plant on Freshly Br~ken Sod Of
Prairie and Expect to Secure
Any Good Results.

iBy NORMAN NJ. ROSS, Chief OF Tree
Planting Division, CanadA)
If we compare the texture of the
soil on the open prairie with that Of
the forest we find vast difference.
In the former case the ground is GOV.
cred by tough, compact sod, and
the soil beneath this Is so hard as to
be almost impenetrable for the roots
of plants In the forest, however, We
find On the surface several inches of
loose, decaying vegetable matter and
a svbsoil rendered comparatively
open and porous, owing to the action
of the tree roots. Under such cOndi-
tons as these there need be no diff
Guilty at all in planting and success
fully raising young trees, but unfor-
tunately these are not the conditions
with which we have to deal, as in
most places where tree planting is re-
sorted to, as on the prairies, the soil
is more or less compact, and not suit
ed to the growth of deep-rooted
plants.
In raising trees as we'll as other
crops, 1t is always advisable to fol-
low natures methods as closely as
possible. If we do this we may conf
IDENTIFY expect very fair measure of
success to attend our labors. We
have seen that in nature trees rel
quire fairly loose, porous soil, and
1t is therefore necessary to bring the
land which it is wished to plant up in
trees into as nearly a similar condii
ton as possible. It would be absoi
lutely foolish to plant trees on the
freshly broken sod of the prairie and
expect them to live under ordinary
circumstances.
In most cases trees will be found
10 do best on land that has been UNI
der crop for at least year previous
to planting. But as many have no
land under cultivation where they
wish to plant, they can, by very
thorough cultivation Of the soil during
one season, in an ordinary year bring
it into q At state for setting out tha
young trees. In a very dry year ond
season may not prove long enough I'd
sufficiently rot the sod, and In such
cases 1t will be more satisfactory I'd
defer planting until the land is in {
suitable condition, as upon this prao
tically depends the future success q
the plantation.

No attraction announced by the Park

interest than the engagement of Neil
O'Brien. the popular and famous min

tonight in entertainment of min
strelsy described as quite the most
elaborate and biggest production of it's
kind the American stage has witnessed
since, the inception of burnt-cOrk
comedy. Neil O'Brien is known to the
vast majority of theatre goerS through
his long association with Lew Dock
stader aLd other minstrel companies.
AS the principal com edian and lead
ing attraction with DOckstader, Mr..
O'Brien gained much renown and fame
and by his sincere efforts combined
with his brilliant accomplishments as
a comedian he has esta bliShed fol-
lowing of admirers who will doubtless
give him cordial welcome a the head
of his own organization. Mr. O'Brien
and his manager, Oscar Hodge, real1z-
ing that minStrelSy, when properly
presented will always find favor with
American audiences, have conceived
several decided innovations and have
put III the field this season an organi-
cation and production that is sure to
command attention In numbers, the
company is the largest, and the scenic
costly which the stage has ever Of
fered for this style of entertainment.
IN the company are assem- DI6d many
minstrel comedians, vocalists and
dancers of note. Most prominent
among the former are Eddie Mazier,
The famous end man; VIM H. Thomp-
son, the renowned lyric baritone; Pete
Detzel, Major Nowak Nm HalIett the
popular baritone and interIocutOr; Al
EOntaine, the baSSo; Doran and Strong
Jack McShane, George Hagen and
Walter Lindsey In addition to the
principals there is a singing and dane
ing ensemble of thirty and orcheS-
ira of oil nd Of frtxr
The entire entertainment is said to
consist of much novelty and Originate
~ and to be presented with great care
and e1aborateneSs to scenic detail.
The latter consists of nine scenes not
ably beautiful, the first part setting
being blaze of light and brilliant
colors and one of the most monmoth
settings the stage has presented in a
decade.
