The county commissioners, in their
State convention at Columbus, recon-
mended the planting of forest trees along
the sides Of public highways. Such
trees would shade the roads and keep
them muddy about all the time, to say
nothing of the effect they would have
upon growing crops in adjacent fields.
Shaded roads are very nice, but you
want good roads first. Where roads are
Macdamized, if farmers will consent to
have their lands shaded plant forest
trees. But until you get something bet
ter than mud roads, the people will have
all the mud they want without shading
the roads.-Toledo Telegram.
