G. A. Tracy Speaks
on Raising Of Fruit

The Farmer and Breeder speaks as
follows concerning the topic assigned
to Mr.. G. A. Tracy of this city, dis
cussed at the recent South Dakota
Horticultural Society meeting:
&c. A. Tracy of Watertown, gave
some good advice with reference to
the kind of fruit to grow in Coding-
ton county. In the first place he EN-
phasized his belief in planting Trees
deeper in that county than is usually
recommended. Ordinarily orchardists
set trees in the orchard from two. to
three inches deeper than they stood
in the nursery, but Mr.. Tracy, based
upon his own experience, advised
planting them from six to seven
inches deeper instead of two to three.
This deeper planting he claimed pre-.
vents the roots from dying during dry
cold winters.
He recommended the following
varieties Of apples as hardy for his
section OF country: Duchess, Veal
thy, Patterns Greening, and Anisin,
The -Hibernal he considered a good
cooking apple. but the tree a rather
shy bearer. OF the crab apples he
recommended the Florence as the ear.

Mr.. Tracy is growing over 20 diff

FOR THE BAND.

AS will be seer from advertising in
The Press, the American Falls Concert
band has made arrangements to bring
the Ham Jubilee Singers to American
Falls the evening of Monday, Dec. 10.
1t might be said that the band boys
are not bringing an attraction that
they do not deem worthy of the pat
ronage of the people of American Falls
also hat it might be said that the band
is one of the public institutions that
derives about the poorest kind of sup
port.
On this occasion every mar and wo-
man in American Falls should make a
special effort to attend the entertain
ment If for no other purpose than to
make the band boys feel that their eff
forts are appreciated.

HAVE YoU GOT YOUR TAX CARDi

Miss Rice. the Collector. informs
the Press that all tax statements were
mailed from Nov. 20. to Nov. %. but
from the number that have been re-
turned, to the office she feels that a
great many tax payers have not re-
ceived their statements.
The law provides that one-half of
all real estate tax, and all personal
tax. except that secured by real es-
tate, must be paid on or before the
first Monday in January, and as this
year the first Monday is the first bus
mess day it would be well to pay the
taxes before the last of December.
Those who have not received their
statements should call at the office or
notify the tax collector.

there a letter showing the number of
days | worked on state highways dur

the days correspond in this letter ex
actlv to the number of days | have
charged as shown in town report on
page 81.
] understand the claim is made that
not only received pay from the state
of Vermont, but from the town as well,
for the same work done on the state
highways. As my accounts have all
| been passed upon by the auditors of
the town, | feel that these statements
are reflection on the honesty and in
auditors as well. Therefore, / wish to
take this opportunity to inform the
public of the exact conditions.
| was appointed town commissioner
| by the State Highway Commissioner.
The facts are these: | never received
| one cent directly from the State High
way Commissioner or the state of Yer
mont for any work done by me or my
men.
The money for state work is paid rs
follows. The town commissioners is sup
plied with n time bool, furnished by
tho state on which he is required to
keep the time and give the names Of
every man or team employed on the
work; also the number Of loads of ma
terial drawn and what the same is Al
the end of each week. he must fill out
a duplicate sheet furnished by the
state, and send same to the county
supervisor to be approved by him. The

treasurer each week to pay each indi
vidual bill. After the job is complet
cd. or at the end of the season. sum

paid out by the selectmen for STATE

visor, for his approval When approx
Cd by him, he forwards the weekly
statements aud the summary sheet t,

missioner sends them after approval
~ the State Treasurer, and the Stat
Treasurer forwards the full amount a
shown by these sheets 70 the tow

money paid out by the town on stat
