of nuts last year grown oio.se to Fargo. There are also bearing 

 trees as far north as Grand Forks. 



For all the trees except the white willow v: -j plant seedling 

 trees, usually from one and one-half to two feet in height. 

 These are quickly planted in a trench made w th a plow and 

 are more apt to grow than older trees. We hive aiv. r ays re Com- 

 mended pretty constant cultivation but find that in Is.e we- PITI 

 part of the state mulching with old straw socifis to be prtier- 

 able. This also seems to be true more or le- . ,he eastern 

 part of the state. 



The failure with trees often arises fror/i the "t that too 

 few are planted. The timber belt should be of generous pro- 

 portions no less than eight rods in width. The right sorts of 

 trees so planted and properly tended will yi^ld hir ,;er returns 

 than any equal area on the farm.
