Willow River School Notes

Willow River has been directly
benefited by the sale of Christmas
seals. Some time ago the Mantoux
tuberculosis test was given to- all the
students who desired it. Wednesday
and Friday of last week, twenty-five
persons were given X-rays at Pokeg-
anna sanitorium. However, we are
very glad to know that no one Is
seriously afflicted with the tubercu-
losis germ. The annual Christmas
seal sale sponsored by the Community
club began Monday. To augment the
receipts of these sales, committee
consisting of Mrs. Reuer, and the
Misses Olson, Bochek, Wenstrom. and
Pettijohn is planning an amateur
night, Dec. 10, at the school gymna-
SUM. Two skits, "The Anti-Gossip
Club" and "The Vaudeville Agency"
will be given. Since this is entirely
a grown-up affair and judging from
the secrecy concerning the program,
we are assured that some big sur
prises are in store for us. We cannot
give any definite statements concern
ing the skits, so come and enjoy the
surprises yourself. Christmas seals
will be given with each ticket.
The General Business class Is
studying the chapter on cablegrams.
radiograms, and kilograms. The b.
ology students find the study OF ferns
and MOSES very interesting. The
fe 10 I'M how RI
write good informal arguments. The
book keeping students are working
hard on their practice sets. The Eco
nomic Geography class has made
booklets on Mexico in the form of a
project for future reference, and one
about to start on the Caribbean sea
region. The seniors in English Nv
have completed the Puritan Period
and are beginning classicism.
The Willow River high school bas-
ketball teams defeated the Isle high
school teams here Friday night. The
score was &c to % for the boys, and
SO to 81 for the girls. Both games
were we'll played. The boys game
was very close from start to finish.
We surely appreciate the fine sports
manship of the Isle teams.
The Home Economics classes are
grateful to DR.. Ehmke for the sewing
machine which he has kindly lent
them, also to the Board of Education
for the two new Singer machines
The girls are enjoying this additional
equipment They have now four ma
chimes at their disposal. The classes
have finished a list of samplers and
are beginning their first large pro.
jects in sewing.

HARDY FRUITS

Having taken care of the wind
breaks shade trees and Ornamentals,
we may now turn our attention to
fruits. The native berries and cher
ries have already been mentioned
There are many others. Rhubarb is
easily grown. All it needs is planting
in ordinary garden soil and clean cul-
tivation at first Later, it will be
benefited by a surface dressing of
manure. Do not put the manure in
to the ground so that the roots come
in contact with it. Strawberries do
we'll. They need a winter covering of
straw or other loose material. This
The producers news., 1933-02-01
HARDY ROSE

Of Roses we have grown a few va
rieties, some nameless. All of these
are fairly hardy. A yellow rose, prob
ably Harrison's Yellow, is entirely
hardy but very snowy. But even
those roses whose tips winerkilled
have produced a profusion Of bios
some from the new growth on the
lower part of the bushes. A neighbor
is growing Rugosa Hybrid roses sue
cessfully.
The producers news., 1933-02-01
HARDY CHERRIES

Another worthwhile bush fruit is
the Sandcherry or Rocky Mountain
Cherry. This is a native of our N.
w. prairie section. The fruit is near
~ as large as the western cherries.
Fruit is nearly always borne the sec
ond year after planting and thereaf-
ter annually. It clings well to the
bush, is black when ripe and hangs
SO thick on some branches as to be
suggestive Of immense clusters of
grapes. The fruit can be used in
number of ways but is especially
toothsome pitted and made into pies.
The bush is absolutely hardy. Chin
csc Bush Cherry (Prunus Tomento-
sal has been hardy for two years. 1t
has not yet fruited. The Moscow
Cherry, a tree, one of Prof. Hansen's
importations from Russia, has been
growing here for several years. The
first fruit was produced last summer,
but the hardness of the tree is still
questionable The Zunnbra Cherry IS
a recent production of the Minnesota
State Fruit Breeding Farm. The bush
resembles the Sandcherry but the
fruit is larger. It has borne fruit
for three years but has generally
winterkilled to some extent. The
The producers news., 1933-02-01

Oaks, three years old, are making
slow but sure progress The top do
not winterkill. Three year old Black
Walnuts and English Walnuts are
living but the new growth nearly al
ways winterkills.
EVERGREENS
Among Evergreens the Black Hills
Spruce are as satisfactory trees in
many ways as one can get. They are
natives of the Black Hills in South
Dakota They seem to be absolutely
hardy. They are sturdy enough to
withstand the wind. They are
drought resistent. They do not win
terkill. The growth is slow at first
but becomes quite rapid as the tree
branches as any other Evergreen.
With care they can safely be trans
planted. We have transplanted more
than one hundred of these Spruce on
the place without losing a one. I
do not believe one could do better
than to plant this variety of Ever
green as individual specimens in
wind breaks. Their dense habit of
growth makes them almost imper-
vious when some wild blizzard goes
on rampage.
Another very hardy evergreen is
the Bull Pine, a native of the North
Dakota Bad Lands. This is a more
rapid grower not so dense nor
symetrical as the Black Hills spruce
but it is said to be very good in
wind breaks. We have found it har-
der to transplant successfully than
the B. H. Spruce In addition to our
native shrubs already mentioned, the
Lilacs, the Tartarian Honeysuckle,
and the Russian Artemesia, some
times called Old Man, might be call
ed irOnclad in hardness. The purple
and white LilacS have been growing
here for fifteen years or more and
have enjoyed all the climate had to
offer Furthermore insects scarcely
ever bother them, so no one need
hesitate to plant all the Lilacs his
heart desires. The Honeysuckle has
grown here as long as the Lilac. 1t
has been bothered some by insects.
This plant should be grown in groups
or hedges to bring out it's real beau
ty. The Artemesia is useful where a
low, quick growing hedge is desired.
The Chinese Apricot is a new orna-
mental shrub that promises we'll 1t
has wintered perfectly here for three
years. Very early in spring it bears
pink or white blossoms in profusion.
In trial of several years the High
Bush Cranberry has done fairly well
1t does not seem to belong to the
hardest shrubs. Spirea Van Houtte
or Bridal wreath has also done quite
we'll but does not seem entirely hardy
The Russian Olive has not been test
ed by us but others in this county
suits.
HARDY ROSE
Of Roses we have grown a few va

depth, and removed in April. We
have grown two varieties, the Dunlap
and Progressive Everbearing for
about ten years. The Dunlaps have
been more satisfactory than the P.
Everbearing. The plants are hardi-
er, they make new plants much more
freely, they produce more berries in
one season and the berries average
larger. Of course the Everbearings
furnish berries in the fall which the
Dunlaps do not and the p. E. fruit
and blossoms are remarkably frost
resistant, SO bearing continues till
frOsts become quite hard. Several
other varieties are offered by nursey-
men, with boost attached but these
two kinds are still considered best for
their state by the N. d. Horticulture
al Society. The currants are too
commonly grown to need much COM
ment. They have been grown here
many years and are perfectly hardy
The Perfection is an introduction of
recent years and is considered the
best variety. Gooseberries we are
growing are the Houghton, the Car
RE, and black Gooseberry selected
from the native ones of southern N.
d. The Carrie has safely withstood
the last four winters. The berries
are large and the bush is very prolif-
ic. The Houghton is an old standard.
The fruit is a little smaller and the
yield a little less than the Carrie, but
the HOughton has a much finer flaw
or. When ripe it has a mild pleasant
flavor The N. d. native has berries
q little more uneven in size and time
Of ripening than the others and av-
eraging a little smaller than the
HOughtOn In some ways it excellS,
especially in the vigorous upright
growth of the bush and the delicious
flavor of the ripe fruit. This goose
berry is not yet on the market but
probably will be in a year or two.
GoOseberry and currant bushes three
or four years old or more should have
part of the old wood removed, prefer
ably after the fruit is gathered, each
year. By the time they are ten years
old, it is usually better to start new
plants. Fertilize these bushes liber-
ally Three varieties of Raspberries
have been grown here for a number
of years. The Red Turner, an old va
riety, produces good fruit but not
much Of it and the canes quite often
winter kill. The Sunbeam and Ohta,
both produced by Prof. Hansen of
South Dakota, yield berries almost
identical in size color and flavor. The
canes of both are vigorous and do
not winterkill. The Sunbeam has fal
outyielded the Ohta here. Their bear
ing season is identical.
