TREES FOR FARM PLANTING
One Car From North DakOta-Fruit
Trees Heavy Bearers This
Season.

Three car loads of trees have been
received at this station within the
last few days for distribution to far
mers in this vicinity and north along
the J. & N. line. These trees will
be heeled in or covered with dirt for
the winter, and planted next spring.
The trees could be planted at this
time, but better results are found in
handling them the other way.
One car of the trees came from
Hankinson, Richland county, North
Dakota. They are native North Da-
kota trees. The other two car loads
came from near St. Paul. The pur-
chase of young trees and planting
them on farms, shows that farmers
are intending to improve and beau
tify their farms with groves. This
is a great change from the past ne
glect to plant trees.
Thre are q great many farm hOus-
es that have stood for years on the
open prairie without tree or bush
around the buildings, when with but
little expense or care fine groves of
trees could now have been had, to-
gether with windbreaks and shelter
for the farm poultry. These old time
houses, unprotected from wind and
sun, decrease the value of a farm
more each year.
One of the men in charge of the
shipment of trees, reports that fruit
trees have done so we'll this season
on the Hankinson farms that 500
bushels of apples were gathered this
year and sold to various residents of
that county. The apples were large,
fine eating fruit, superior to most
of the eastern or western fruit ship
ped into the state. At the recent
Ransom county corn show at Lisbon
there was display of North Dakota
apples raised in that county, and
some of the fruit weighed nearly one
pound each. 1t is predicted that
within ten years the increase in fruit
growing in North Dakota will be so
great: that much of the local demand
can be supplied at home. ~. e

BARREN STALKS OF
CORN AND NUBBiNS
Reduce Yields-Careful Selection of
Seed the Remedy.


corn. The barren stalks are more
common in some varieties of corn.
They are also caused by poor seed,
poor soil, poor seed bed or adverse
climatic conditions. Anything which
prevents the corn plant from making
good growth may result in barren
stalks or nubbins. Recently in judg-
ing corn fields in Foster, Wells and
Stutsman counties, determinations
were made of the number of stalks
with good ears; the barren stalks
and nubbins were classed together.
OF the Northwestern Dent, 49 per
cent of the stalks had good ears OF
the nine fields the highest was 81
per cent and the lowest 28 per cent.
OF the White Dent the stalks with
good ears averaged &C per cent. The
highest was Is per cent and the low
est SO per cent. OF Minnesota 13,
20 per cent of the stalks had good
ears. The Northwestern Dent aver
ages a little less than one good ear
to the hill, while the other dents av-
eraged IN good ears per hill.
This emphasizes the necessity Of
carefully selecting, curing and accli-
mating the seed corn, and of max
ing q good rich seed bed as we'll as
keeping it free from weeds.
One ear or one and half ears per
hill can be improved upon.

WILL AID YOUNG MEN
IN MINNEAPOLIS
Y. NJ. G. A. of That City Offers As.
sistance and Advice.

The Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation of Minneapolis desires to no.
tify young men leaving home to seek
employment in that city, that they
can obtain information that may be
of help to them by calling at the Y
M. G. A. rooms.
The question of finding employ.
ment in the large cities is much more
serious than the average young man
who has been accustomed to good
home realizes. His struggle in the
city with strange surroundings and
new conditions will be hard enough,
and If he has to return after days
work to an unpleasant home, where
the influences are bad, the new life
will be discouraging and unsafe.
Rooms are investigated and other
practical and needed help is afforded
by the Y. M. C. A., which has estab-
lished special department for this
service in Minneapolis.
The Y. M. C. A. would strongly dis
courage young men from going to
the city to seek work unless they are
skilled in some lucrative trade or
profession and have some definite
employment arranged for in advance.
In his struggle with the city the un.
skilled or inexperienced young man
is 80 handicapped that advancement
is mighty uncertain, and many young
men find themselves unable to rise
above the meager position which
they first secured when arriving in
the city. But to all young men who
do go to Minneapolis the Y. M. c. A.
Of that city offers hearty welcome
and will be glad to have them come
to its building at "A south Tenth
street. Immediately upon their ar

THE WOMANS CLUB
CONVENTION
A Largely Attended and Helpful
Meeting of North Dakota
Club Women.

the WOmenS State Federation meet
ing just held in Fargo. This was
evident not only in the papers pre-
sented but in the hospitality and in
terest in club work shown by Fargo
citizens, and in the remarkable read
mess with which those asked to par
ticipate in the program responded.
The convention was notable first,
because all of the ex-presidents but
one were present; and second, be-
cause of the presence of Mrs. Penny
backer of Austin, Texas, national
president of Womens Clubs. The
program was carried out as planned
with a very few changes, and the
smooth running order was largely
due to the efficiency of the president,
Miss Minnie Nelson of Valley City.
On Wednesday the opening day of
the convention occurred the address
of welcome, the presidents adress,
reports 81 officers. business meeting,
symposium on cooperation and con-
ferences Of the district officers, pres
ident and department members.
Some important changes were made
in the constitution.
Wednesday evenings program was
conducted by the Literary and Ii
brary and Home Economics depart
ments. Prof. Hult of the state uni
versity gave very inspiring address
on importance of reading only what
is best. He mentioned the difficult
ty of deciding what is best, when
over 10000 books are published
yearly. Skimming book isn't read
ing it, and If one read one book a
month, in so years 900 books would
have been read, which Prof. Hult
thought was very good record.
Programs by the public health, arts
and crafts and music departments
were given Thursday. Many profit
able suggestions and startling reve-
lations were made by Prof. Ladd, in
his paper on Patent Medicines and
the Adulteration of Foods.''
President Creegan. was most en-
tertaining with his suggestions on
Better Church and Sunday School
Music" .... -
The Federation reception in the
evening at the agricultural college
was very enjoyable. About 800 guests
were served an elaborate tea in the
Ceres hall dining room Of the col
lege, and afterwards they were given
rare treat in an address in the col
lege armory by Mrs. Pennybacker, on
'The Home" the fathers and moth
ers' place, and advice on the raising
Of children. She interpreted her
remarks with many funny southern
stories told in charming manner.
Women" she said, would rath-
er have less luxury and more Of the
husbands presence in the home" +"
She reminded the women that the
home should be the place where
thrift, order and executive ability
should prevail, for women make the
atmosphere OF the home, but not
enough poise but it 10 hard for moth
er's hands to point in one direction
while often the fathers. example
points in another. "A plea was made
to bring the girls into the womens
clubs where they are needed.

Vice President Slade. !.
A banquet was held at the Com
mercial club last evening for bank
ers of the state. Vice President
Slade of the N. p. was the guest Of
honor. Mr.. slade delivered an ad-
dress in which he discussed the three
great topics of interest in North Da-
kota, agriculture, banking, and rail-
roads, He said: No one Of them
can prosper without the other, and
the closer the harmony between them
the greater the prosperity of all; that
it is necessary for the railroads to
have the friendly support of the far
mers and the business men in order
that they may be encouraged to
build and be enabled to successfully
operate their lines"
Following Mr.. Slade's address
President Conklin Of the Commercial
club called upon Alexander McKen-
zie for an address. Mr.. Mckenzie
declined, stating that he always had
insisted that he never had appeared
In public, and that inasmuch as he
was neither banker nor speaker
he would be satisfied to listen to the
others, who were to address the
meeting.
Other speakers of the evening were
Edward o. Rice of the First Nation
al bank of St. Paul; J. T. Nelson,
merchant and banker of Glen Ullin;
Gov. Hanna, c. L. Zimmerman, vice
president of the First National bank
of Mandan, and Capt. I. P. Baker Of
the Bismarck bank.
The Indians Did Not Fight.
On account Of an order received
from the department Of the interior
at Washington, at the eleventh hour,
it was impossible to stage the sham
battle with the Indians that had been
so extensively advertised.
There can be no blame attached to
the exposition management, as they
secured the presence Of the Indians,
at great expense, with the expecta-
ton that they would be allowed to
engage in the contest. The Indians
themselves were greatly disappoint-
ed, as they had come to Bismarck
at considerable, trepble to themselves

Two Ways of Raisins Fruit

The ways of the American apple
grower in past years have been in
singular contrast to the care useC
in orange and lemon cultivation
The orange grower has always un.
derstood that he must cultivate and
fertilize his orchard and to prevent
bruising must handle his fruit as il
it were eggs.
The needs for equally scientific
methods in the raising of apples
was the dominant theme at the
18th convention of apple shippers.
just held in Cleveland. o. Today
you find an intelligent minority of
farmers who treat their apple or
chards as if it was a real crop.
They give the land its proper food.
They also handle their fruit on pad
ded bins and tables, and pack it in
tissue. Most OF the older farmers
would as soon think of taking these
precautions with stove wood.
Science counts. Three times as
many oranges were raised in the
United States in 1909 as in 1899.
During the same period the apple
product fell off Is per cent
The average farmer has regarded
his apple orchard as merely a wild
crop, something like huckleberries
or timber. A thick growth of grass
and weeds under the trees absorb
ed big share OF the soils nutri.
ment Useless suckers were para
sites on the trees growth. The soil
underneath was never stirred, and
much uf the rainfall ran off the
sunbakcd earth.
Unsprayed fruit trees were juicy
feasts for cohorts of worms. In
picking. the apples were tossed
from basket to barrel or pile to
pile, as if they were'potatoes. Plar.
ed loosely in barrel, they shocked
during transportation like anthra
cite coal.
Happily the methods of spraying
cultivation, and packing which the
apple shippers urged Throughout,
their Cleveland meeting are coming
into more general use. AS the
apple is grown successfully in ev.
cry state in the union, it BIDS fair
to become more Of national asset
than it has been in the past.
