so Feet Adopted as Standard
Width of Right-of. Way In
stead Of 66 Feet

Decision to adopt 80 feet as the
standard width Of the right-of-way
for state highways was announced
by the highway commission today.
The present standard is 66 feet.
Objection to the narrow right-of-
way developed from the fact that
it often was impossible to get
enough dirt from the sides to make
necessary fills and difficulty was
experienced in the location Of tele-
phone poles because Of the width
Of bitches. In many places it has
proved necessary to buy additional
land from which dirt was taken to
make fills at low places in the
roads.
The wider right-of-way will en-
able the highway department to
keep pole lines on the roads and will
obviate the necessity for. purchasing
additional land to get dirt.

FRUIT GROWING
GOOD FOR FARM
Products of Exceptional Quail
ity Can Be Raised in
North Dakota

Although commercial fruit raising
in the northern great plains region
has not as a rule been successful,
fruit Of exceptional quality can be
grown, according to experts at the
Northern Great Plains ex ,eriment
station in Mandan.
The value Of a good fruit garden
in this area is two fold, they point
out. First, the fresh fruit market
is often limited and the price of the
fruit high, and second there is per-
sonal satisfaction in growing prod
ucts surprising those available in
the stores.
The establishment Of experiment.
al fruit gardens on the northern
great plains has been slow process,
due chiefly to climatic conditions.
Fruit gardens have been limited
by the climate and by lack Of
knowledge of hardy varieties and
cultural methods adapted to this re-
gion," recent report said.
Trees Are Important
"Too many homes are without
surrounding shelter belts, shrubs,
flowers and fruits, all Of which help
to make the farm in any district
m attractive place on which to
live. Those plants are Of special
Importance to the farmer of the
plains region, where most Of the
region is devoid Of natural tree
growth, winds are often severe and
fruits scarce.
"There are several reasons why
fruit growing should be made a
minor project for each farmer in
this district. A liberal supply Of
fruit in the diet is desirable; the
garden is an ornament t. the farm;
/. f reduces grocery bills and in favor
able years may even add to the
farm income, as any surplus should
find = local market in this section
where the supply Of native grown
fruit is limited.
There are doubtless oppor-
tunities for farmers having ex-
perience and usually favorable sites

saaIe IN local markets. However, the
peoblem Of growing fruit for home
