Making the Little
Farm Pay
By c. c. BOWsFlELD


Neglect Of fruit growing is fragrant
in the middle west, but the modern
idea of securing larger returns per
acre from the land will in few>years
result in revival Of horticulture.
No matter how large or how small a
farm is nor where it is situated, If
timber will grow there, wise land
owners will give reasonable amount
of attention to fruit. They will man
age their orchards intelligently and
make them pay at the rate of 5000 to
$500 an acre. As land grows in value
farms naturally decrease in size and
owners come to realize the need of
making every acre count to the ut
most of its earning capacity without
destroying soil fertility.
Experts fully agree that orchard land
may be made to return good income
while the young trees are coming to
maturity. There are many crops that
can be handled in an orchard without
hurting either soil or trees, and per.
sons cultvating small tracts will fee
like using them to make the ground
profitable every year instead of wait
ing five or six years for the fruit trees
to mature. ~.
am more and more convinced of
the wisdom of planting fruit trees far
Their apart than is customary. Forty
feet apart each way is none too much
for apples, pears and cherries, but
while the root system Of these trees is
developing there is a good opportunity

YOUNG FRUIT TREES COMING TO MATURITY


to raise a variety Of crops in the or
chard. Even after the trees are In
bearing there will be little harm in cul-
ttvating vegetables and flowers be-
tween the rows, provided care is shown
in working the land. Raspberries and
currants will work nicely in this scheme
for q few years and perhaps perma-
nently. Beans and peas are excellent
crops to raise in an orchard. as they
pay well, are good nitrogen gatherers
and do not interfere with the roots of
the trees in ordinary cultivation.
Bushes and crops of all kinds should
be kept a few feet away from the
trees. VI.
Apple trees will thrive and do well
on almost any soil which has had good
preparation, but different kinds of soil
require different treatment. Loamy
land is naturally rich in plant food.
Hence it will require little if any ma
nuring in it's preparation. But it should
be deeply stirred and thoroughly brok-
en- up by subsoiling. This loamy earth
is what may be termed free soil, as it
seldom becomes compacted.
A. clay soil is the most difficult to
prepare and often requires manuring
as well as thorough blowing and sub
soiling. IT should also be frequently
stirred during the summer and espe-
c1ally as soon after each rainfall as
possible to prevent it from baking and
becoming compacted. This becomes
even more important in seasons of long
droughts. Persons putting in large or
ehards will do well to study the sub
ject Of: dynamiting the ground, espe-
[9cially If the soil is heavy Sandy land
is generally lacking in plant food. -:
An elevated bit Of land is best for
fruit, but while gentle slope is rec
commended a steep hillside is not de-
sirable. Good results usually follow
from spring planting, and the young
trees may be either one year or two
years old. 81 .-.-..

HAIL RUINS CROPS
LEWIS JOHNSON, LIVING NORTH
OF CITY, WILL NOT HAIR
VEST HIS GRAIN.

That damage caused TO crpos north
of Madison by hail last Sunday night
was even greater than it was in the
southwestern part of Lake county,
where some farmers report their loss
to be about 40 per cent of standing
grain, is indicated by a report made
by Lewis Johnson, of Sinai, just
north of the Lake and ~Brookings
county line.
Mr.. Johnson told that the hail and
wind last Sunday night, in the vicin-
ity of Sinai were about as destructive
as he had EVER seen. He told that
so badly was his fields Of small grain
beaten down that he will not harvest
a bushel of grain. He related that,
believing he could save a percentage
of his crop, he took a binder into a
field yesterday. After a trip around
the field he found it would 0 pay
him to cut the grain. Now he is hav-
ing the field fenced in and he will
let his live stock feed on the grain.
Mr.. Johnson told hat other fields
in the vicinity of his farm suffered.

NORBECK FOLLOWERS SEE PHI
RALITY OF OVER 10000.

Sioux Falls, July 25.-While there
will be little activity in political cir
cles throughout the state until cooler
weather comes. this is the period
when the leaders of the republican
and democratic parties of South Da-
kota are holding quiet conferences
for the purpose of planning for the
fall campaigns of the parties. which
they intend shall be made quite
active.
Owing to the large normal repub-
lican majority in the state the repub-
licans are deyoting some of their
time TO specializing on the size of
the plurality by which they expect
Peter Norbeck. republican nominee
for governor, and his associates on
the republican ticket to be elected
Some of the more sanguine repub-
licans expect Mr.. Norbeck and his
associates will receive a plurality
anywhere from 10000 to 10000.
The democrats, who intend making
an active campaign in behalf of or
vile V. Rinehart, of Rapid City. their
nominee for governor, do not concede
the claims of the republicans. but
many Of them privately admit that
with the republicans united as they
are in this campaign there is little
hope of any of the democratic nom
inees getting within gunshot of an
election. Nevertheless, they will
make an aggressive fight i'm behalf
of the democratic congressional and
state ticket and will do their best to
throw a scare" into the republicans
of the state.

CIVIL WAR DRAMA
THE WARRENS OF VIRGINIA"
AT THE IMPERIAL TOMOR-
ROW EVENING.

Agatha Warren, daughter OF the
a~ristocratic %southerner. Gen. Warren,
has. before the civil war, fallen in
love with Ned Burton, of New York.
With the beginning OF hostilities,
Gen. Warren takes command of many
of the southern troops and Burton,
enlisting in the union army. becomes
a lieutenant. the lovers being sepa-
rated by their different sympathies.
Most of the action of the drama
which is beyond question the most
superb battle spectacle ever produced
takes place during the closing days
of the war. when Gen. Warren sol
diers are suffering from the lack Of
supplies. Burton is forced by mis-
superior officers to use his intimacy
with the Warren family in carrying a
ruse which leads TO the defeat of the
supply trains coming to the relief of
the confederate army. When he is
captured. Agatha. still loving him i'm
spite of herself. offers him the means
of escape. which he is too proud TO
accept. The timely surrender OF Lee
at AppomattoN is all that saves him
from being shot.
The sequel to thees stirring events
is the ultimate reunion Of the lovers.
