er been problem. So many things
of this nature are happening every
day that the columns of most papers
are full of detailed accounts of inf
deity, the unfaithfulness Of weak
man or woman, lust and its attendant
evils. The public seems to be clam
oring for all the details of crime and
wickedness, and the publisher, desir-
ing to build up a large circulation,
dishes it out to his readers in great
doses. The clever writer gives his
reader the opportunity Of reading be-
tween the lines and thus escapes be-
ing hauled into court. The statement
following the conviction of Jim Jam

would be Investigated, may result in
the toning down of many Of these SEN
sational articles. Uncle Sam evident

Conservative estimates give this
section of the state not to exceed two
thirds Of crop under the most favor
able conditions from now until har-
vest. The average under other con-
ditions could fall considerably short
of this. The Independent has made
many inquiries and we propose to de-
pict conditions just as they are. The

coed ten bushels. The straw is short,

Isn't it about time that some farm
ers begin to see that one can never
make a success of exclusive small
grain farming? One year with an
other, there can be but one answer to
this method. No country was ever
favored to such an extent that its
farmers could grow wheat exclusively
year after year. The South Dakota,
Kansas, Minnesota and Iowa farmers
all had to go into the dairy business
whether they liked it or not. If you
can't learn to like cows, corn, hogs
and poultry, you might just as we'll
quit the farm one time as another.

Thousands of dollars were spent

Thousands of dollars were spent
for trees by North Dakotans last
spring, and this is money well spent,
providing the proper care is being
taken of these trees. It should be re-
membered that trees ought to be cul-
tivated the same as corn. This keeps
down the weeds and stores up the
moisture. They make about the
same response in growth as corn and
show the same neglect. About the
first of August stop cultivation and
cover with mulch of stable manure.
The next spring, cultivate this into
the soil and repeat the work of the
first season. This good state of ours
needs more trees. A systematic move
ment to plant and care for trees all
over the state would mean millions of
dollars to this state, thru increased
value of real estate, modification of
climate and healthfulness. The thing
that the fastener misses when he
comes to North Dakota is trees. Trees
on his farm, trees in his town, trees
along the roads. Trees will do more
to interest buyers and increase real es-
values than almost any other one i'm
provement. They can be readily
grown here. The city of Grand Forks
is covered with thousands of large,
beautiful trees, boxelder mainly, set
out but a comparatively few years
ago, yet many of the trees are forty
or fifty feet high and several feet in
circumference. Minot has followed
suit, tho most of our trees are not so
large.

Mr. Gates came West about month

a hunting trip was planned. 1t was

point, but the exertion seemed to leave
Mr.. Gates weaker. Late Monday night
there was a change for the worse. Ef-

heart were futile and he gradually
weakened until death came.
