SHADE TREES AS ROAD BEAUTIFIEES.
are the hickory, the walnut and the
buttcrnut for New England and along
the Appalachian mountains as far
south as Georgia. AT this point the
distribution of these nut trees should
take northward turn on the west
side of the Allegheny mountains where
they should not be used south OF Ken.
lucky or farther west than Colorado
The hickory will not thrive in northern
Iowa, northern Wisconsin, Minnesota
or in the Dakotas.
The black walnut, however, may be
planted over the southern part Of Min
nesota eastern South Dakota, eastern
Nebraska and Kansas.
Personally | believe that as rule
/. would be better to select long lined
shade trees than to attempt TO COM
bine fruit production with shade and
beauty.
The following list ofSshade trees
would, IN my Judgment, fulfill the re-
auirements better than the fruit and
nut list:
Elms are desirable, but do not give
rs dense canopy as do the naples.
In New England and the middle states
the sugar maple is one of the most de-
Sirable and extensively used shade
trees. If shade more dense than
that given 10y the sugar maple Is de-
sired, the Norway maple may be plant
ed instead 1t has long been considered
one of the finest shade trees we have
about Washington. From Washing
ton southwark to the Carolnas vari-
ETY. of shade trees may he employed,
such as the silver maple, which is per
haps the least desirable of the maple
family. The sycamore has natural
distribution throughout this whole ter
ritory and is hardy and beautiful. The
oaks offer number of good shade
trees. although some grow slowly. In
this family the red oak, the willow
oak and the pin oak are all desirable
for roadside use outside the territory
in which the live oak thrives.
In my Judgment. there IS no tree
which compares with the live oak for
shade and ornament in regions south
OF the northern latitude of Carolina.
This tree might be used to the cXclu-
sion of every other throughout the
southern part of the United States, be.
cause it is typical of that region.
For California the pepper tree will
perhaps supersede everything else as 4
roadside tree, while In Florida the
camphor tree might we'll be used as a
substitute for the pepper tree of Cali
fornia. In southernmost Texas the ma
tive palm, which is magnificent thing.
could be used for roadside decoration.
In places where the palm will not
thrive nothing l know of will better
serve this purpose than the native and
the Mexican blackberry.
For the plains Of the northwest. In
Guiding the Dakotas and northern Min
ncsota, perhaps the best street trees
arc the Americau elm and green ash.

Look For San Jose Scale

Examine your trees now for San
Jose scale, especially if they have
been planted within the four or
five years. Where tree is
thoroughly invested. it presents an

treatment for badly infested trees
is to dig them up and burn them
at once. Begin spraying as soon

CHINESE AND THEIR
PIGEON WHISTLES

A traveller in eastern lands tells US
the following little story of the Chinese
and their most unique pigeon whistles,
story we'll worth repeating here:
zone of the most curious expressions
of emotional life in China is the ap-
plication of whistles to a flock of pig
cons. These whistles, very light,
weighing hardly a few grammes, are
attached to the tails of young pigeons
soon after their birth, by means of a
fine copper wire, so that when the
birds fly the wind will blow through
the whistles and set them vibrating,
thus producing an open-air concert, for
the instruments in one and the same
flock are all tuned differently On a
serene day In Peking, where these in
strumentS are manufactured with great
cIeverness and ingenuity. 1t is possible
to enjoy this aerial music while sitting
in ones room.
"There are two distinct types of
whistles-those consisting of bamboo
tubes placed side by side, and type
based on the principle of tubes at
tached to a gourd body or wind chest.
They are lacquered in yellow, brown,
red and black, to protect the material
from destructive influences of the at
mosphere. The tube whistles have
either two, three or five tubes In
some specimens the five tubes are
made Of OK horn instead of bamboo.
The gourd whistles are furnished with
mouthpiece and small apertureS to
the number of two, three, six, ten and
even thirteen. Certain among them
have besides number Of bamboo
tubes. some on the principal mouth
piece, some arranged around it. These
varieties are distinguished by different
names. Thus, a whistle with one
mouthpiece and ten tubes is called
The eleven-eyed one"
