President; Comment
on Visit. g..

London, Dec. 27.-London's
morning newspapers, having sus-
pended publication since Tuesday
for the Christmas holiday, had to
find space today for three days
news from the world. Nevertheless
by far the largest part of every pa
i per is given over to President Viii
sons visit, other news being severe
ly condensed. Qualification is ex-
pressed over Mr.. Wilson's presence
and the peoples joyous welcome.
which is declared to have been the
warmest tribute to a visitor that
London has ever known. There is
a strain of sympathetic personal
greeting running through all the
stories, and the writers regard the
popular acclamations of the presi.
dent as being animated by the same
spirit.
Triumphal Procession.
President Wilson's journey was
a triumphal procession from the
moment he landed" says the Mail.
and it was real. sincere affection
and no mere curiosity that brought
to his ears the tremendous acclama-
tons of the people of London"
The Telegraph says:
THE warmth of the welcome to
President Wilson could not have
been exceeded xxx x"'-
The Post hopes that Mr.. Wilson
Is convinced of the sincere cordial
ity of his welcome.
Kings and emperors arriving as
Great Britain's guests were never
accorded such a moving popular
ovation" says the Chronicle. BE
meath the surface the visit betokens
q great deal more than that OF a
head Of state and the crowds were

The Daily News says:
1T was peoples welcome, not
only expressing gratitude for the
presidents spacious craftsmanship,
lofty vision and unfailing wisdom,
but also sending greetings from the
free people of Great Britain to the
free people of America on the NOR
row of their Joint victory"
London never witnessed any
thing quite like this impressive well
come" says the Express. mo for
eign sovereign was ever so &C
claimed by so many people"
The same newspaper devotes a
paragraph to the impression Mr.
Wilson made upon the people. 1t
says that comments which were
overheard were altogether compile
mentary. "A strong face" "A fine
looking man." "A proper gentle
man" and other expressions were
heard, and when American soldiers

a real man, anyway" the people

with cheers.

preciatively to the gracious bearing

the Associated Press upon his ar
rival here: !.
"Kiev is calm again. The shops

10000 German troops under Genera!
Kirbach. The horrors of anarchy
in that country. especially in the
Volhynia district, cannot be real
lied. The peasants have begun to ILL
treat women, which is something
new to bolshevism. For instance,
if they cannot find the husband or

the wife, mother or daughter.

Der of German soldiers, a few

and disarming German soldiers ev-
crywhere, being Infatuated because
Of German thefts of grain and food.
It is estimated that possibly 100000
Germans are in Ukraine, butt only
those in Kiev are armed. Through
out all of Ukraine, which is inhabit-
ed by 100000 people. conditions
are absolutely chaotic"
1t is stated that the defeat Of
General Skoropadski may be attrib-
uted to the fact that two months
ago. under allied advice, he pro-
claimed Ukraine a part of Russia,
whereas the peasants want that
country to be independent. 1t is to
be declared that he thus played into
the hands of Petlura, who has issued
land grants to every man who has
served as a soldier under him.
Odessa is reported to be again in
bolshevist hands after the defeat of
Polish troops near that city.

This time we are going to talk
about DON'TS, and things as we
see and know are true.
Don't plant the orchard first,
it is a waste OF time and money.
Don't buy big trees of any kind,
they spell failure.
Don't plant anything where
you expect to plant trees. but
keep the ground clean and save
the moisture, that means sure
success.
Don't plant hap-hazZard, have
a ploW. Why was the tree claims
in the east river country a fali-
ure? Because the rows were too
close together and too close in
the row. Take out halt OF the
rows and half in the row, and this
would mean success instead of
failure. You see a tree planted
by nature or by man, standing
out in the open by itself and you
see a large healthy fellow and
the answer ought to be, plenty OF
of moisture Remember this is a
dry country, roots need plenty OF
space for they 90 as far each way
as the tree is high. Clean cult.
vation and plenty of space will
grow trees anywhere in the west
river country, even IN the bad
lands. Nature shows Us that;
look and see for yourself. Iowa

ter is the tops Of the barn and
house. We made a trip across
Iowa the other day and to our
way of seeing things we seen
hundreds of groves but not one
shelter belt Their plan is, two
rows of trees set close to the
buildings, about s or 10 it. part
in the row and rows same dis
tance apart, they grow from 40
to 90 #. high and anywhere from
l6 to 20 IT to the first limb, plenty
of shade but no wind break at

of money nowadays and rotS or

thing for us to do is to profit by
their mistakes. We can make a
shelter belt here out of trees and

Wen, this brings us up to our
third year of planting our shelter
belt. Now, the ground has been
plowed and cultivated four seas
IONS and kept absolutely clean and
we have four years of moisture
to draw from and we are ready
to plant most any kind of forest
tree with good success, If we get
good stock and take pains in the
planting. We have also had a
BIG snow drift each year to help
along, a lot of the drifts have
been caught by rows of hedge.
Don't lose sight of the fact that
our artimesa is as thick as the
halr on a black dogs back from
the ground up. Now, while you
are doing this do not forget the
small fruit and flowers, add few
OF them each year and see how
quick you have a flower garden
and strawberry ShortCake and
eooScberry and currant pie for
Sunday dinner. What, will they
grow Just look around once
and see. II you have not heaps
OF time to spend on flowers, plant
the pernuiolS and you are done,
all you have to do then is to tend
them and gather bouquets. they
do the rest.
LilaCS, wild-currants. wild-Cher-
ry make fine flowers and nice
hedges, beats the bare earth a
l00-fold.
II we plant trees and shrubs
with the same care and attention
we put on our garden, corn, oats
and wheat and cattle, in a few
years this will not be a treeless
country. The DAYS that YOU can
not do any thing except loaf, get
in the tlier and go talk to the fel-
low that has a tree growing or a
strawberry bed and get his ideas
along with yours and profit by
his experience.
DO not expect a grove of trees
the first year after planting.
Don't set a tree in the sod it
will die.
The Kadoka press and Kadoka reporter. [volume] (Kadoka, S.D.) 1910-1923, 1918-03-29

While we have been planting
trees for some time we should
not lose sight of the small fruit
and flowers. Some fruit mixed
in with the vegetable garden goes
pretty nice nowadays when we
are having Wheatless, meatleSs
and heatless days. Not a large
garden, make it small and take
good care of it. What we can
grow as easy as potatoes and
corn and with less work are rheu-
bard, strawberries, plumS, cher
ries and grapes. The Hansen
Inbred plum will grow anywhere
and is perfectly hardy. Some of
the varieties of these plums will
stand hard freezing when in
bloom and still bear a crop. Get
a few trees now and in three
years you have plumS. The Opata
is the most successful for this
section. Persian lilacs and wild
currants make a fine hedge and
will be loaded with bloom every
year regardless of the season.
We have seen them both in full
bloom covered with wet heavy
snow below the freezing point,
and three hours after the sun
shines on them as fresh as ever,
while the common kinds were
badly damaged. Use the same
care in setting flowers and shrubs
that you do in setting trees and
keep the ground well cultivated.
Never under any conditions plant
them on sod, if you do you will
be Disappointed.
While you are planting the
Towering shrubs do not overlook
the ornamental trees. Three or
four, or more, Black Hills spruce
add beauty to the landscape.
When getting spruce or any of
the evergreen family always get
them burlapped, with a ball of
earth on them. Set them with
out removing the burlap and with
la fairly good season the losses

ragged endS, using a Snarp pen
knife. There are two ways of
doing this, a right way and a
wrong way. The right way is to
turn the tree upside down and
make a clean smooth cut at an
angle of about forty five degrees,
as all new growth starts from the
under side. This gives the new
root substance from both ways
and has a better chance of start
ing and making a live of it. If
the top starts growing before the
root the tree is sure to die.
Now we have the holes dug,
roots trimmed, we ought to pud-
die or mud the roots to keep them
GOOD and moist until we get them
all set All trees should be set
by line, they look better in after
years. Now put the tree in the
hole, taking the top fine soil and
fill in around the roots, shake tree
up and down lightly TO get dirt all
around the roots. Now tamp
hard with tamper, being care
full not to damage the roots Then
put on a pail of water, and if it
disappears in a few seconds put
on another, and if need be make
it three. AS soon as the water
has disappeared and the ground
settled little fill in some more
and tamp again. When the trees
are all set go over the rows and
rake a little loose dirt on the top
to keep the ground from baking.
Now for the last operation.
Coming back to trimming the
top, using the same sharp knife,
cut off all broken limbs and if is
not over three or four feet tall
you should take off all the limbs
leaving just a straight stick, but
do not cut out the top. Most all
varieties of trees will send out
little buds or leaves all the way
up the body. When they get
nicely started go over them, rub
bing them all off except a few at
the very top. If they come out
do it again and again the first
season. BY doing this it puts the
into the roots where you
need it. The next year let two
or three limbs grow, but keep all
others rubbed off, and the third
year, conditions helping the sea-
son, they grow by leaps and
bounds. Do not, under any con-
ditions let the weeds and grass
grow on the ground now planted, |
and do not plant any other crop
on the ground. You will need
the moisture tor that dry spell
that is coming some time in the
year.
