Planting sweetgums.

Mr.. G. Z. Dilley has had all the
sycamore trees surrounding his prop
erty on three sides cut down and the
stumps removed, and is now having
planted sweetgums. Mr.. Dilley says
he has experimental with sweetgums
for several years, and he considers
them ideal shade trees. He says the
foliage is dense and beautiful, and
that the leaves stay on the trees I'M
I'll fall. The greatest objection he
had to the sycamore is they begin to
shed their leaves early in the sum
mer, and then at least for three
months it is a great task to keep the
premises clean. He is planting
sweetgums about six inches in diam
eter, and very symmetrical. The i'm
provement will be a great one.

Dear Sir: But few of the men who sell

ket know much about them. All Devoe
agents have state chemists certificate
telling just what it's made of; they know
a good deal, not only about Devoe but
the rest: we buy every paint, that has
any sale, and analyze it. Our agent finds
out all about it.
When we know what paint is made
of, we know how it act; we know how
far it goes, and how long it wears.
Devoe is the standard; call it 100 The
best of the rest is about 20; the worst about
%; the rest are between.
But the men, who sell them, don't know
any better. They know what the maker
tells them. That is: they know that he
tells them. They don't know whether he
tells them the truth or not.
The business is not conducted on
knowledge; the less they know, the more
comfortable they are.
