FARM AND GARDEN.
wAYSIDE FRUIT TREES
German Custom which We shoulA
Follow Extensively.

A friend who recently tray..ed
through Germany told me about the
.rnit trees that line the waysle in
some parts Of that country. The trees
he most noticed were cherry and pear
trees. These are open 10 the public

Tie people. however. feel an interest in
these trees and treat them respectfully
IN almost every ease.
IL seems to me that VI should follow
this German custom extensively I'M this
country. 1t ornaments a farm to have
trees growing by the wayside and adds
beauty TO the country, giving the trav-
eer a welcome shade and putting 10
good use land that is otherwise unoccu-
pied. The damage TO crops in adioin-
ing fields is inconsiderable, as the dis
lance from the roadside to the line of
the growing crops is about as far as
tie roofs of the trees extend.
II We are going TO plant trees along
our roads il costs but little more to
plant apple. pear and cherry trees thar
any other kind. Growing In a single
row. as they would. they can be trained

trees.
The fruit grown upon these trees
would be clear profit. and If the travel

could well afford to let them have II.
II everyone in a certain section or
along a certain line of road would plant
fruit trees there would he so many OF
them that but a small portion of the
crop would be taken by the public. and
