TREES IN DRY REGIONS Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Seeing Datus Smith’s letter about planting trees in North Dakota, I can not help but say a few words in favor of trees. Out here in Bottineau county, where I have been farming for the last 20 years, there is a lot of kick this last year because trees are dying ‘out. They say it is too dry. I say there is not a farm in this neighborhood where the trees will not grow if they are planted in'the right place, but you build your house on the highest knoll on your farm and there you plant your trees, and if you have a little pool of water by your trees you get the town grader and drain it out. I got-the grader and made a ridge and ditch’ around mine and got the township scrapes and blocked it up at both ends. Now I get the ditch full of snow water in spring and they do not need much rain in summer. I have some ash and elm trees I planted 10 years ago. There is not one of them dead yet. Some of my cottonwoods and willows planted in the highest places are dead, but where there is no drain from the trees they are still living. I would like to see every pothole in my field and every quarter line or southeast line in North Dakota plant- ed to trees. It would stop the snow and leave it in the fields instead of running down creeks and rivers and into Hudson bay. : ‘Deep, N. D, E. H. MOEN. MOTOR TRUCK ROUTES Branch railways have been a knot- ty problem in the United States for over a decade. Following 1900 the building of branch roads practically ceased. Yet under our present-day ‘methods they are essential to open- ing up new territory. Our growth in ‘population needs new territory. Railway managers also declare that many of the branch roads already in existence do not pay for themselves. On the other hand a trunk railway like the Western Pacific fails through lack of branch lines as feeders. Perhaps two new factors which we are now developing—the motor truck and good roads—will not only solve the branch railway—-problem but lead to territory and trade development far beyond what would be possible for branch lines. y The motor truck can go right up to the farmer’s gateway. It can cover a route of 30 miles in length with little difficulty on good roads. It can de- velop new lines of trade between town and country not possible to branch- line railways. Compared with the investment tied up in a branch rail line of 30 miles the cost of a motor truck is negligible. This feature has led to the develop- ment of farmers’ co-operative motor truck associations in many localities and we are likely to see a great deal of ~co-operation in this field in the near future. ; ‘BACK TO BARTE] ; According to the American:Manu- facturers’ Export associatiox%power— ful banking combine is being formed in London to open trade with central Europe by bartering goods instead of using money. 3 ; Hides, for instance, can be shipped into Germany, tanned and made into leather products. This combine will then take back that part of the leather products which has been agreed on and sell them in the cash markets, such as Scandinavia, America and the far East. Cotton, oils and the differ- ent minerals can be handled in the same fashion.” The Austrian gov- ernment has offered to allow all such business to pass without import or ex-| FANTED—JUMBO BRUSH BREAKER IN GOOD E mndldoni gflu Wm, M.
