young trees for roadside use and for
promoting the interests of fruit cul-
ture. The profit of tree is very
small, but the Hanover people do not
worry about that. Shade is afforded
in summer, the roadbed is free from
dust, the presence of trees retards the
washing out of the soil from the banks
into the roadside bitches, and the at
tractive appearance OF the roadside
stimulates an interest in tree culture
and benefits the province In many
other ways. Thy find II worth while.
