[ MANDAN NEWS | FRUIT GROWING GOOD FOR FARM Products of Exceptional Qual- ity Can Be Raised in North Dakota Although commercial fruit raising §n 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 fn 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 surpassing those available in the stores. The establishment of experiment- al fruit gardens on the northern [ge plains has been a slow process, lue chiefly to climatic conditions. “Fruit gardens have been limited by the climate and by a lack of knowledge of hardy varieties and cultural methods adapted to this re- gion,” a recent report said. Trees Are Important “Too many homes ate without Surrounding shelter belts, shrubs, flowers and fruits, all of which help to make the farm in any district an attractive place on which to -live. Those plants are of special portance to the farmer of the plains region, where most of the .fegion is devoid of natural tree th, winds are often severe and jits scarce. “There are several reasons why fruit growing should be made a minor project for each farmer in this - _A liberal supply of fruit the diet is desirable; the -it reduces 1.4) — | the | € d Minneapolis will spend a few is an ornament t» the farm; grocery bills and in favor- zones may even add to the income, as any surplus should find a local market in this section ' <qwhere the supply of native grown “fruit is limi # are doubtless oppor- farmers having usually favorable sites F vegetables for of growing f: raga LH ruit for home its relation to thé build- ‘any commercial fruit problem is section.

Rismarck, North Dakota STATES ROADS WILL BE WIDER, BOARD DECIDES 80 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 ditches. In many places it has proved necessary to buy additional land from which dirt was taken to make fills at low places roads, The wide? 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. Opinion Is Asked The commission referred to the attorney general’s office the ques- tion of whether it can join with South Dakota in building a bridge in the over Box Elder creek en the south- ern border of Bowman county. No county or federal aid funds are available for the project and the question to be determined is whether thé state can spend its funds without aid from the coun- ty or federal government. The last regular legislative session appro- priated $20,000 to pay the state’s share of the bridge cost. Plans for the structure have been drawn by the South Dakota high- way department, which estimates the cost at $30,000. On that basis the two states could build the bridge without county or federal aid. A technicality in the law making the North Dakota appropriation, how- ever, may bar this state from join- ing in the project unless federal and county aid are available. ~ A report by the bridge division of the highway department in- dicated that contracts for the bridge across the River at Grand Forks may be Ict by the’ middle of August. Plans for the structure will be completed within © month but two weeks will be required to print the specifications, a week to obtain approval of the federal bureau of public roads and five weeks for advertising before the bids are received, Vacancies Exist in Fort Lincoln Corps Vacancies exist in the Infantry, Quartermaster, and Medical - Corps | at Fort Lincoln, according to an an- nouncement by Lt.
