GOVERNMENT'S EXPERIMENTAL
TEST PROVES SUCCESSFUL.
THE WORK OF MOSES KINKAID
The Congressmnn From the Big Sixth
District Hns Done Much In ReforestIng -
Ing the Semi-Arid Delt of Nebraska.
Proven That Trees Grow.
The successful growing of trooH In
the ban-on sand-hills of Nebraska 1ms
boon inntlo an accomplished fact by
the United States bureau of forestry.
Stnto Botanist Bossoy returned this
week from n vlalt nnil cnreful Inspec-
tlon of the work In the nismnl River
reserve , and ho Inslats that wlmt hna
been done there closely approaches
the marvelous. That section of the
state has been n mere waste of land ,
covered with many shifting dunes of
sand , from which all of the rainfall
ran nt once , causing small floods and
leaving the ground as dry as a bone
In a few hours. The reserve compris
es some 80,000 acres of land lying be
tween the Dismal and the Middle I oup
rivers , Immediately above their conflu
ence. The purpose of this reserve waste
to redeem the region to agriculture by
growing timber to check the wind and
retain the soil moisture. This reserve
was the first step taken by the gov
ernment for a systematic and orderly
attempt at forestratlon for the purpose
of utilizing and developing the re
sources of the semi-arid region of the
WCBt ,
Begun Three Years Ago.
It has been nearly three years since
the work began. It was first neces
sary to secure the best of seed , and
experts were sent Into the pine forests
of Michigan and Minnesota and to
New Mexico. A seed bed was first
made. In this samples of the various
pines and spruces wore planted. The
ground was divided up into beds about
seven feet wide by 130 feet long. Uy
the use of an Ingenious drill that not
only marks the spot but firms the soil
at the same time , the work is made
expeditious. When planting the seed
the men work in pairs. The seed is
carried in quart cups and sown by
the aid of a light-weight trough. This
Is laid closed In the drill and the seed
thrown Into it with a single motion of
the hand. It Is then opened by turn
ing on its hinges and the seed falls
through into the drill. The seeds arc
covered by raking the soil of the drill
edges and the soil firmed by means of
a long board upon which the operators
step.
Millions of Seedlings.
A year later , in September , 1003 , the
seed beds showed half n million west
ern yellow pine seedlings , almost as
many jack pines and about 10,000 of
other pines and spruces. The cost
was about 75 cents a thousand trees.
The western yellows and pinions were
so hardy and grew so well that they
wore taken from the seed beds and
planted at a year old in the hills.
Most of the others had to lie trans
planted into nursery rows. The mo
ment the seedlings were drawn from
their root bed they were at once im
mersed in water , after which they
were wrapped in bundles of 150 with
wet cloths about their roots. The bun
dles were in turn packed in boxes of
wet moss and carried to the sand hills
on pack trees. This kept them safe
for three days. The work of planting
is performed In a very systematic man
ner. A squad of three Is detailed to
one part of the hills , in charge of an
assistant from the state university , a
student. One man in each squad was
equipped with a bucket swung from
his shoulder by a sling strap , in which
he was required to carry sufficient wa
ter to submerge the roots of the trees
it held.
Method of Planting.
This man walked between the fur
rows and it was his duty to hand the
trees to the planters as they called
for them. These planters used a spe
cial spade. With it , If the surface
sand was dry , they scooped from the
bottom of the furrow a spadeful and
then turned it full length of the blade
Into the fresh sand. A sldewlso move
ment made a space sufficiently large
to admit the root. The spade was then
withdrawn with the right hand and at
the same Instant a tree was put In
position with the left. The spade was
again thrust into the sand about an
Inch and a half to one side of the orig
inal opening and the fresh sand
pressed against the roots. One or two
strokes with the boot heel firmed the
soil and the operation was complete.
Ranchmen Co-Operate.
In addition to this work , the bureau
lias succeeded In Investigating many
ranchmen In co-operative planting.
The agents have drawn plans in each
case , and have supplied the trees and
done the planting for about twenty
places. In some Instances as high as
2,000 trees have been planted on a
ranch. Their great value , aside from
their holding and doling out the wa
ter as nature demands it , they provide
a shelter-belt that prevents rapid evap
oration , by reason of the wind , surface
waters , thus enabling the pastures to
remain grgener longer and to greatly
Increase the tonnage of hay. On one
ranch at Kennedy , 1,000 Jack plnoh
nnd 1.000 cottonwoods were furnished
for wood-lot purposes. In time these
trees will piovo valuable In supplying
fence posts and timber for domestic
purposes.

Average Price Assumed.
Norfolk , Neb. , Sept. 25. Editor
News : An amusing incident occurred
on the street this morning , but which
for a time looked as if it might end
seriously. Two boys were discussing
a sale of marbles by a third boy
named Jimmie. Jlmmio had sold six
marbles for 12 cents and one of the
boys named Dill said that ho sold them
for 2 cents each. Tom , who happened
to bo with Jimmie when the sale was
made , said that ho did not sell them
in that way , and things began to look
serious , when Jimmio appeared around
the corner. Dill , thinking to effective
ly squelch Tom by the proof at first
hand hailed him , and the following
conversation took place :
"Well , Jimmio , you sold six marbles
for 12 cents ? "
"Yep. "
"Got 2 cents apiece for them ? "
"Nope. "
"Well , how in thunder could you got
12 cents for six marbles in any other
way ? "
"O , dat's easy. Two of them were
klnnlcks and I got 10 cents for them ,
and sold the others for 2 cents. "
Just then Bill remembered that Ills
mother had told him to get some beef
steak for dinner , but when he reached
the market , figures had become so
mixed in his head that he could not re
member whether it was 2 cents' worth
or 12 cents' worth that ho was told to
get , so concluded not to get any but
go fishing Instead. As ho has not re
turned yet , it is supposed that ho Is
soaking his head.
Mr. Morrison says that he Is on the
watch for him and If , when he returns ,
his head has assumed normal proportions
tions , he wants Bill to go to Superin
tendent O'Connor and explain to him
the absolute correctness of the as
sumption of an average price. M.
POLICE ROBBED OF WATCH.
Street Song of Salvation Army Girl
Prompts Pickpocket to Return.
About a week ago Chief of Police
James Dally lost his watch , which he
had carried for a long time , says a
dispatch from Red Wing , Minn. To
day there was forwarded to the Re
publican office a package containing
the watch , chain and charm. The let
ter which follows is a compliment to
the work of the Salvation Army , which
no doubt the chief will bo quick to
appreciate :
St. Paul. Sept. 17. 1905. Editor of
the Republican , Red' Wlng | Minn , :
Please put an ad In your paper that
the watch , chain and charm which In
a "Hesto Presto" movement was tak
en from your chief of police Is at
your office.
The chief will , without a question ,
pay you for the ad , and I request that' '
ho pay a liberal reward , and I demand I
that the same bo handed over to thoj
Salvation Army of your city , because
it was u word from the lips of a Sal
vation lassie preaching In the streets
of this city that pricked my soul and
prompted mo to return the goods.
As to myself , will only say that
among the pickpocket fraternity I am
considered an export. Respectfully ,
Jim , from Jlui the Smooth.
