Question Should nursery trees be
root pruned before planting ?-H. r. j.
Answer: Root pruning. is one of the
essentials to best results in planting
trees. As a rule, more than enough
OF the root system has been removed
by the nurseryman in digging and so
farther reduction is not desirable from
that standpoint alone. Injury in dig
ging and shipping, however, makes
slight root pruning before planting de-
sirable The object should be to put
the root system in as good shape with
the slightest amount of removal pos
sible unless a root is excessively
long, when 1t may be cut back. Prac-
tically no attention need be given the
small roots The ends of the large
ones. however, will demand attention
as the wounds In digging are left
rough and splintered The ends Of
the roots should be cut back far
enough to secure smooth wounds to
facilitate healing. Badly broken or
split roots should be removed Prof.

Question: How can | get catch
of clover on sandy soils?-A F. NJ.
Answer: A good stand of clover is
not always easy to secure on sandy
soils. especially in seasons of drought.
On such soils the clover seed should
be covered at least one inch in depth
SO as to obyiate danger from drought
and drifting sand We have had good
success on sandy soil by mixing the
clover seed with the grain In which
it is to be sown. using about 10 pounds
of clover seed per acre. The grain
should be sown rather thinly, using
one-half Of the amount Of seed ordi-
narily used
IL oats are used as the nurse crop
and the season is dry the oat crop
should be cut before ripening for hay.
When the clover seed Is put into the
seesIer with the seed grain, care
should be taken that the clover and
grain be stirred In the hopper at fire.

wise the fine clover seed will gradual

the clover fails to catch. this is cue

APPEALS FOR
women SUFFRAGE
STATE OFFICERS SENDING OUT
APPEALS TO PEOPLE OF THE
STATE TO INFLUENCE REPRE-
sENTATIVEs TO VOTE FOR MEAS
URE WHEN RECONSTRUCTED.

The following appeals are being sent
out to the people of the state In order
to reach as large a number as possible
and influence them TO help with the
woman suffrage bill which ii is hoped
will be placed before the legislature
for reconsideration, The following is
ent by Mrs. Clara L.. barrow, president
of the state Votes for Women league:
A suffrage bill, carefully framed and
endorsed by the state Votes for Women
league, is up for consideration in both
the senate and house. We every
friend of good government, every be-
lever in fair play, to write or wire his
senator and his representative at Bis
maTCk, to support this measure. We
want each one, also, 10 send in petit
tions asking the passage of this meas
ure.
This Is a matter of simple human
justice. 1t is in line with that most
remarkable political movement OF the
past two years, the growth or pro-
gressive sentiment in all parties. In
this rising tide for more democracy,
votes for women, or equal suffrage, has
played a prominent part. The demand
for social justice will never be met
until women nave a right to express
at the polls their Views upon child
labor, hours and conditions OF labor,
especially for women, minimum wage
laws, mothers pensions, white slavery,
and every question that affects the
home. and all that is sweetest and best
in life.
Women are doing their share in the
worlds work; they have the ability to
cast an intelligent ballot, as is witt
messed in Seattle, Los Angeles, and
Denver. Why should we hesitate to
submit to the men Of North Dakota
this question? Is there a single valid
reason for not doing so? Make up
your minds and act without delay. AL
ready nine state have extended it's
franchise to women. Our neighboring
states on all sides, Montana, South Da-
kota and Minnesota will doubtless act
favorably on the question this winter.
In fact a bill for suffrage has already
passed both houses of the South Da-
kota legislature by an overwhelming

came from those quarters where the

of the opposition, too, he thinks comes
in this state from INSTRUMENTATION or

advised hat the thing to do is to or
ganize the state and Systematically
place the suffrage question before the
people. The men at Bismarck are rep
resentatives of the people and must
vote as they direct, so that the first
thing to do Is to place the suffrage
question fully before the people and
then leave it to the legislators to rep
resent their various districts.
