100000 Trees to be Given Free to
Great Plains Area

Mandan.-Upwards of 100000 trees
Will be distributed this spring to farm
ers Of North Dakota, Montana eastern
Minnesota, Idaho, Utah and South Da-
kota by Uncle Sam. The trees, shrubs
and hedge plants have been developed
at the Northern Great Plains Field
station at Mandan and are distributed
free Of charge except transportation.
This will be the greatest shipment
from the local government station
since it was established in 1911, as
the largest farming experimental es-
tablishment in the United tates, own
ed by the government, excepting the
botanical gardens at Arlington.
Trees, including over 80 specimens
from North and South America, ST.
IBERIA, Manchuria, Korea, Russia, have
been tested, developed and in many
instances crossed with natives to de-
velop new species that will withstand
the rigors of the northwestern winters
and dry summers.
The foreign species have proven
especially adapted, according to Rob-
ert Wilson and F. E. Cobb, arboricul-
turists in charge of the work. These
are the "Caragana," a Siberian pea
tree that develops perfect plant
growth suitable for box hedges, and
the Russian olive. Among the trees
to be shipped along about April / are
northwestern poplars, box elders,
green ash, buffalo berry, choke-cherry,
jack pine, Black Hills spruce, elms
and Colorado spruce.
"The only requirement of the gov
eminent is that farmers give a years
preparation to the soil where the wind
break is to be planted. Farmers
who will receive the 100000 trees
sent out this spring made application
two years ago and developed the land
last year." said Mr.. Cobb. eve will
receive applications for 1928 tree de-
liveries up to April, 1922. Complete
instructions are sent out to all appli-
cants. Where possible we try to work
through the county agent and have
him select five or more farmers who
will follow instructions"
Mr.. Cobb nor Mr.. Wilson placed
much credence in the general belief
that increasing the tree life manifold
would bring more rain to the dry
land areas" H..
''The value of windbreaks in the
opinion of the government is in CIV
ing natural shelter to homes, .beauti-
flying farms and it is true offering
some resistance to lessen the effect
Of the hot Winds" said M. Wilson.

Ewes Need Exercise Before Landing

Time
II the ewes have had plenty of ex-
ercise during the winter and are in
good thrifty condition and have good
quarters, troubles should be few at
lambing time," says George j. Ba-
ker, livestock specialist of the North
Dakota Extension division.
AS a general rule, eve should
have about two to three pounds of
good roughage and one-half pound of
grain daily. If you have good, we'll
cured alfalfa hay with lots of leaves
on, two to two and one-half pounds
of this will make a splendid ration
alone. About two pounds of corn
silage or roots fed with one and one
half pounds Of any good legume hay
makes good ration. Timothy hay is
very unsatisfactory, as is often
causes serious constipation. Sheep
enjoy nibbling at some roughage fed
in the yard on the ground or in racks,
such as a little millet hay or Dat
straw, but they should never be al
lowed to run to the stack. Compel
ewes to travel considerable distance
from their beds to their feed when
ever the weather and condition Of the
yard permit.
"The early lamb is more valuable
than the late one. We must provide
warm place for the ewes which are
to lamb early. The ewes should be
in a comfortable pen by herself when
she lambs, and the. successful shep-
herd will see that ,watchful attend
ant is with the ewes both day and
night.
''In case eve starts to lamb be-
fore she is separated from the flock,
it is always best to allow her to fl
nish Landing before she is moved.
Otherwise if she is disturbed, in
many cases she may delay lambing
for a considerable length of time,
and sometimes even until the lamb
has died. If possible, never allow
the lambs to become chilled. A chill
ed lamb may be revived by dipping
it into warm water, Keeping your
hands in the water with the lamb,
and rubbing it gently to start circu-
iation. Dry the lamb thoroly, help it
nurse, and keep it warm. In some
cases, some of the wool may need to
be removed from around the udder of
the eve, SO that the lamb can easily
find the teats. Young ewes may
need to be held few times while the
lambs nurse. Very weak lambs may
need to be fed some of the ewes milk
with a spoon, till they are strong
enough to stand and nurse.
"Circular No. IS of the Extension
Division, Agricultural College, N. D.,
treats Of the general subject of sheep
andL may be had for the asking.
