DO THIS
(By W. D. Stegner)
Fifteen cows of mixed breeding he
was milking scarcely paid a profit
over cost of feed to H. G. Simpson of
Houston county, Minnesota. He
wanted better cows but he had a large
amount of capital invested in land and
machinery and obligations to meet
He doubted whether he could borrow
more money to buy cows.
iters Then he had an idea. He went to
itur- his banker and suggested that they
make an agreement whereby the
(banker would lend him the money to

there is one thing that a peach tree bought

Few, if any fruit trees will do this, leading Holstein herds in the county.
Therefore one of the very first things The original loan long since has been
to do is to see to it that the land where paid. He is getting a profit out of the

drained. A low, wet place is always plan that enabled him to get a start
to be avoided, unless, of course, it can with better stock,
be pryperly drained.
It is also important to select as far |
as possible for fruit trees, ground that
is property air drained, as ' ”
water drained It is a well known;
fart that cold air »» heavier than warm 1

trees, so u U insure as far as pos- _v.
sible, proper air drainage. This will
go a long ways toward preventing
damage by late frost and freezing,
because it is always in the tow places
that are improperly air drained that
the greatest damage from late frost
takes place. Of course where one has
only a limited amount of ground,
available, it may not be possible to;
select a high place to eet trees, but
this is the ideal that would be ap-
proached as ncyriy^ aa posaible.
