Driving nails in the trunks of trees
to supply iron to the tree is a sheer
waste of nails and labor, according to
"A. f. Yeager, horticulturist at the
North Dakota experiment station, in
replying to an inquiry from resident
OF the state about this practice. The
resident stated he had been advised
to DO this by a neighbor, who said
soil of the territory did not contain
enough iron to bring apple trees into
full bearing. Nut only does any soil

apple trees. Eut . 'ice Will never take

representative farmers attending the

held throughout the state.
During the last six months 40 car

IRRICATE BEDS FOR
STRAWBERRY RESULTS

Strawberry plants should be set out
about the middle of May. in rows four
feet apart, and two feet apart in the
rows, says A. f. Jaeger, horticulture
list at the North Dakota experiment STA
ton. If any blossoms show before the
middle of July, they should be remov-
ed; while the plant might produce
some fruit, it would be at the expense
OF future crops that would be formed
IN the new plant. Best varieties are
Senator Dunlap" and progressive
Everbearing.''
Careful cultivation must be given
the plants throughout the season. With
everbearing varieties and good weather
some crop may be expected in the fall
Of the first year. If the plants do well,
there should be space two feet square
e~~~>>~~~.>~
While currants will exist with less
care than almost any other fruit plant,
the only way to get paying crop is to
fertilize well, cultivate we'll and prune
we'll. A well pruned currant bush
should have three or four one-year-old
canes, three or four two-year-Old
canes, and the same number of three
year-old canes. Any canes older than
three years should be cut away, as
the best fruit is produced on two and
three-year-old wood. Old canes pro-
duce only small, struggling lunches of
fruit. The currants will be benefited
BY an application Of manure.

HOW TO MANAGE PIGS
EOR PORK PRODUCTION

The sow and litter should have pas
ture as early as possible, while good
pasture all summer is essential to
profitable pork production, says George
]. Baken, extension livestock special
list of the North Dakota Agricultural
college, in discussing pig care aid feed
Ing.
When the little pigs are from two to
three weeks Old they know quite well
how to eat grain and should have y
yard where they may be fed !; this yard
being separated from the soWs by Il
creep.
Skinned milk is very good for young
pigs and may be fed With flour midd-
Iings, and later on. with standard
mddlin@s and ground oats. Pigs also
do we'll on corn meal with the ahov"
feeds.
When the pigs are five to six weeks
old they may be fed cracked corn and
whole oats: and a little later, whole
corn and oats.
The pigs may be castrat0d at about
four to five weeks or age; 1kNy will not
ordinarily be WcHIleN fiji they are nine
or ten weeks old. This gives them Il
chance to recover While they are Still
ht.t~'i@. Wien older pigs are rISirul
cd it is very essential that the inriSion
be made low, and that every lu<t Lit Of
the cOIorcd portion of the cords be re-
moved.
When only one litter of pigs is rails
ed per year, it is sometimes advisable
to let the soWs Wcan the PIGS them
selves. Ordinarily, however, il is bet
ter to Wcan the pigs at nine and ten
weeks of age. Cut down on the feed
OF the SOW and take the pigs away. If
you can keep the SOW on dry feed and
make il very limited she will soon drv
up.
The pigs must be fed as before wean-
Ing, continuing on pasture. (alfulfa if
you have iD and eating all the oats
they will clean up. Some corn tank
age may he fed to advantage.
Plan now to have field Of an early
variety of corn ready to turn the hogs
into about the last week of August, let
ting them continue on pasture. This
is the farmers self feeder.
Get the hog ready for market. weigh
Ing around POO pounds. by the middle
to the last Of September, as hogs are
usually good price ut that time.

Dairy Industry Grows
By Leaps And Bounds

national dairy show in st. Paul this
year.
Mr.. Dice points out that the last fed
eral census credits North Dakota with
an income of $23.OOO,OOO from dairy
products in 1920, totaling one-fourth
of the value of the states wheat crop
for the same year. The number Of
purebred cattle in the state was given
as 1890, Holsteins leading with 2,937,
with Jerseys, Guernseys, and Ayshires
following in order. The increase dur
ing the 1O-year period preceding the
1920 census was rs per cent.
That increase was in the face Of ex-
ceptionally good grain crop conditions
and without any particular stimula-
ton. With interest at its present
height, and the consistent efforts be-
ing put forth by leaders who realize
the value to the state of greatly in
creased dairying activity, Professor
Dice is confident that it will take only
two years to accomplish results in this
field prOpOrtiOnate to those achieved
in 10 years between 1910 and 1920.

Will produce the crop the following
season.
In the fall, as soon as the ground is
frozen hard enough to form a crust,
the bed should be mulched with four
inches Of clean straw. The straw is
rakad off the plants in the spring as
soon as growth begins, and either left
in the rows as Il mulch or entirely re-
moved so that the ground can he culti-

two or three years, when it should he

T. T. Jacobson Makes Big Success
Fishing in Alaska -


T. T. Jacobson, of Wittenburg, Wis,
,!Minot pioneer and owner Of valuable
property in this city, has made a
killing" in the herring fishing in
dustry in Alaska, according to reports
just received.
Mr.. jacobson left Minot in June
with his three sons and has been fish
ing along the coast of Alaska since,
with remarkable success. The Jacob
sons have already packed 1000 bar
rels of the herring which they caught
with nets, operated by machinery and
they have only fairly got started.
Z. Mr.. jacobson has written Carl Aur-
land some interesting accounts of his
experiences in Alaska. It requires
thirteen days for a letter to travel
from Alaska to Minot. The days are
very long as they are within the
arctic circle. The sun sets at ten
o'clock or later and rises at three
o'clock. Mr.. jacobson has sent Mr..
Aurland small sack of wild rye from
Alaska, which Mr.. Aurland will ex-
pertinent with in North Dakota.
Mr.. Aurland contemplates taking a
trip to Alaska next summer. It re-
Quires ten days to go by boat from
Seattle and the fare is only $500
one way.
