We are living under a new and more
salutary condition. We are now able
to grow a few Hard or Sugar Naples,
trees that must have moisture in the
air if they are to grow. This alone
proves the air in this city is more
moisture-laden than that OF the
early days. There is no longer any
good reason why anyone should
plant the cottonwood and boxelder
instead Of the ether more permanent

The soft maple, which belongs to
the same family as the box elder will
grow just as ranidly and in come
cases outgrow box elder. and in che
end live longer and make a more
shapley tree. The silver ~ rr-t.,,
poplar, a, member of the same family
as the cottonwood, is more penn
anent, more beautiful and besides is
insect and fungi free. The American
Elm, too. is a. rapid grower and there
is no zmore useful tree the world over.
The blackberry, quite like the elm in

Grand Forks, with more than 40
growing in it's midst. has passed the
experimental stage in tree culture.
1t is no longer growing the Cotton
wood and Box Elder. In the early
days it was necessary to plant them,
as the better class of trees would not
grow. The elms, naples, oaks, bass
wood, blackberry and ash were ardln
to start with the best Of care. Now
see them everywhere about the
city. 1t seems that the thoughts ex-
pressed in the poem by Joyce Kilmer
are real to the majority of the people
of Grand Forks.
(Poem written by Joyce Kilmer, who
gave his life in France.)
i think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
4 tree whose hungry mouth is
against the earth's sweet howing
a tree that looks atAGod all day.
And lifts her Ieafy arms to pray.
Al tree that nay in summer wear
A rest Of robins in her hair.
Upon whose bosom snow has lain:
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me
But only God can make a tree.
1t is certain that a great change
has taken place with regard to the
region: We are getting more rainfall
and better still we are getting a more
heavily laden atmosphere. More
splant1 nor crops and more animals
means more moisture in the air and
consequently better conditions for
plants to crow IN. In the early days

BRANBUGSN
MUCHSEEDGRAN
South Dakota E~ntomologist
Describes What Can Be
Done Against Insects

Bookings, S. D., Nov. s26.-"Bran
bugs have been found in much Of
the seed grain which is being held on
the farm for next springs seeding"
states A. l.. Ford. extension entomol-
ogist at State college. ."rhese insects,
although capable of injuring the ger
mination of the grain since they feed
on the germ, have don but little
damage in South Dakota thus far.
Efforts should be directed towards
keeping this damage as low as pos
slble.
First, determine if the grain is in
tested by screening a. little Of it
through a piece of ordinary window
screening. After warming up ths
screening, the insects can be readily
seen if present. The light 5colored
book-lice and mites should not be
considered as they are practically
harmless.
IF infested with bran bugs, tho
grain should be run through a fan
ming mill on "a cold day this fall, since
below 80 degrees Fahrenheit the in
scots are dormant n will be re-
moved the same as is foreign mat
terSin the grain. The screenings from
infested grain should be either i'm
mediately fed or burned. Do not
clean on a warm day as the insects
are then active and many of them
will go through with the grain. By
removing the pests in this manner
this fall, all chances for further dam
age during any possible warm spells
this winter will be eliminated. AS
long as the temperature remains low
these insects will not work or multi
ply.
,"In case seed grain has been heav-
lily infested, it would be wise to run a
termination test before planting in
the spring. If the germination is
found to have been lowered it can
be corrected by increasing the rate of
seeding per acre..

Most people Wou:h have been tempted

II like to raise turkeys and / usually

much this year. | ,wintered eight
turkey hens and a gobbler. I have
very good luck with my young tur-
keys. I have lost very few from sick
ness, I always start them on corn
bread, cooked just as I make it for
the table, and hard-boiled g I
give them a good deal of cottage
cheese too when they are small. I
think that's the only thing for tur-
keys. The feeding of turkeys has
everything in the world to do with
bringing them thru. Once in a while
I lose some hat a but sickness
bothers them very little. The children
are good about helping me take care
of them and often save them by driv-
ing them in before a storm.
II think turkeys are very profitable
to raise. After they are fairly we'll
started they roam about the fields
and find their own feed, requiring al
most no care at all. Their feed costs
| practically nothing after they get to
that stage, and SO they are the most
profitable of all the poultry: If I
had things fixed up the way I want
them 1 could make good money on
them. In fact they pay almost as
we'll. in proportion as da1rying and they
are not nearly as much work.
1.-THE turkeys that are being fattened
now are corr fed. Mr.. Bonifas and
the boys had some of the finest corn
| of it and the turkeys and the chickens
are getting all they want.
Chickens for Market -.
The chickens ere oeing killed off
about two dozen at a time. We kill
them every week and sell them at the
weekend stores and to private Gus
tomers. They are classed as fancy"
and bring the best prices.

chickens and I raise them right
around the house, the porch. Tor
tho first two or three weeks | keep
them warm in the brooder. The main
thing is to keep their feet warm.
Another important thing is to fee1
them just about as often as a hen
would. Perhaps the reason that I
never have any trouble raising good
strong fowl sren incubator chicks is
that | feed them very often and\ am
very careful about what they get. 1
feed them corn bread crumbs, max
ing the same kind of bread as I do
for the table. I spread a newspaper
down in h brooder and give them
the crumbs on that. When they are
about two weeks old L give them
ground screenings and cracked corn.
| don't let them nave any milk until
they are a good deal older. l think
that is a mistake many people make.
Milk is too ~loosening for their bowels
and they often die. just from that cause
alone. When they get to be some age
l give them all the milk they want.
Thick sour milk IS especially good for
them.
The big risk in raising chickens
and other poultry here is that so many
of them are stolen. I lost nearly 100
chickens last year. I have not lost any
this year, we have a good dog.
W go in for dairying only on a
small scale. We have the roam short
horns. We prefer them because they
are good for beef as we'll as milk. We
sell our milk and cream to another
farmer who retails, it in town. We
| are milking seven cows now, and have
twenty-five head all told.

else we lost moncy on grain this year.
