FREEPLANIlNCS OF
TREES ARE OFFERED
Western Farmers Can Get Cot
tonWood Groves II Soil,
Water Level Are Right

Announcement that western North
Dakota farmers can obtain this spring
free paintings of cottonwood groves
up to SO acres in area was made here
Saturday by F. z. Cobb. president OF
the state forestry school at Bottineau
and officer In charge Of proposed shell
terbelt paintings in this state.
The cottonwoods will be planted In
areas Of from five to so acres but only
in sandy soils under which the water
table has remained for an appreciable
period at about 10 feet. No previous
preparation Of the soil Is necessary
and farmers In areas where this condi-
ton prevails may obtain the paintings
by communicating at once with Cobb
at Bottineau. He estimates that the
total to be planted will be about 1000
acres. A million trees will be needed
for the work and it Is proposed to get
them from the river bottoms. Farm
ers asking for these paintings will be
required to fence them as protection
against ravages by livestock.
The offer Is made only to farmers
living west Of the proposed shelter
belt area. the western edge Of which
now is designated as the eastern
boundaries Of Bottineau, McHenry,
Sheridan and Burleigh counties and
the western line Of the two eastern
ranges Of townships In Emmons coun-
ty.
Explanation Of the offer Is contained
in analysis Of the growing habits Of
cottonwood trees. They send tap roots
down to the water level, hence can
continue to grow whether or not there
Is rain. The roots spread out after
reaching the level Of the water table
and the tree acts Is q pump. sucking
up water and transpiring It through
tts leaves.
Cobb said many cottonwood groves,
where the water level Is comparatively
near the surface, have pulled through
the last five drouth years without
damage. thus proving the feasibility Of
the project.
The chief value Of the offer. he said.
lies in the fact that the cottonwo0ds
will provide shelterbelts for farms and
may, eventually, provide . supply Of
firewood. They are not useful for
numbering, although . number Of
cabins are being built In this area from
peeled cottonwood poles.

Mcdonald is president of the

applicant for a RFC mine develop
n1ent loan, and presumably the first
in the nation.
The Maricopa Chief company
sought a federal loan to purchase
equipment and develop its proper

Gila Bend mountains, setting what
was believed to have been a record
in that there was no correspond

and no delay in it's approval.
However, Mcdonald pointed out,
the application was a complete en-
gineering report on the property
describing the amount and value
of its ore. it's accessibility, and Civ
ing other detailed information.
Actual granting of the loan will
depend on a federal inspection of
the mine. Mcdonald was notified

plication had been approved as a

to not more than $4,000. The mon

GASOLINE WAR
HITS NOGALES

The gasoline war in Phoenix
spread to Nogales Monday when the
Shell Oil Company cuts it's prices
three cents. Later on in the week
other major Oil companies joined in
the war by reducing their prices to
meet Shells cut.
It is believed that the war was
started in a fight against indepen-
dent oil companies OF Phoenix. 1t
is understood an independent sta
ton had planned to open in No.
gales and the war was an effort to
discourage the newcomer.
In spite of the war, it is run1ored
that the new station will open and
sell gas at the Tucson price level
or one cent below the cut prices of
the major Oil companies.
Prices in Nogales were cut from
2315c to 1870 for first grade and
from 211a to 13h for second grade.
