TREE TESTS TO BE MADE
Forestry College Will Experiment
With Minnesota COnifers
and Hardwood Trees

The Minnesota college of forestry
is bout to begin a series of expert
ments in tree planting in Northern
Minnesota. Districts in various parts
of the state have been selected and
twenty-five varieties of trees will be
used. Planting will begin as soon as
the seedlings arrive from the various
nurseries from which they have been
ordered
Hardwoods and conifers will be used
in the experiments, and tracts varying
in size from half an acre to several
acres will be used. There are several
localities in the northern part of the
state, according to Prof. E. G. Cheney
of the state forestry college, that give
indications of being adapted to the
growing of hard woods, and in these
localities special attention will be
given to this class of trees.
Growing trees for shelter, wind
brakes, ornamental purposes, woods,
lots and commercial uses is the object
of the series of experiments.
The following places have been des-
ignated' as the seat of the expert
ments: Caledonia, Crookston, War
road, Morris, International Falls, Ait
kin, Mcadowlands, Collegeville, Fulda,
Hibbing and Brainerd.
Farmers in the country surrounding
the experimental tracts will be asked
periments so that they may profit by
them. Reports from each of the Sec
lions will be asked by the college of
forestry probably once every year. In
most cases yearlings will be used in
THE planting.

retrace his steps. He got as far back

Even though this news dismayed
him Mr.. Pruhan continued his search.

was delivered to the minister, and

Henry Schmidt, sixteen years old,
shot and killed his aunt, Mrs. George
Hetzel, aged forty five, widow, at the
woman's home near Douglas, Ohm
stead county, last Tuesday morning.
He was captured at the home of Viii
liam Hetzel, where he is alleged to
have said that he had gone to muir
der the whole family.
Before the shooting took place he
dragged Mrs. Hetzel's son Leo, four
teen years old, into the barn and
bound him hand and foot.
Heard Shots; Freed Self
Leo, hearing the shots in the house,
struggled until he got his feet loose,
ran to Douglas, quarter of a mile
from the farm, and called for help.
William Hetzel, who lives a half mile
from his mothers home, was notified
by telephone just in time to seize the
Schmidt boy as he entered the farm

murder. He is said to have been an

informed the sheriff and Mr.. Hetzel
that he had no reason for shooting
his victim, but that he was not sorry.
1t is also stated hat he made the
remark: "I'm tired of her." When
asked by Mr.. Hetzel if he realized
the awfulness Of his crime and what
might happen to him, the boy re-
piled that he did not care what hap

Following the shooting the boy cut
the telephone wires to prevent any
communication from or to the house.
