TREES FOR ROAOSlDES.
Preservative Effect Of Shade on
French Highways.


In answer to inquiries from the Unit
ed States, Consul General Robert p.
skinner Of Marsellles furnishes the
following information relative 20 the
effect OF wayside trees on French
roads,
II IS proposed 20 plant trees along
the roadsidcs Of ~ York state in
order 20 keep the moisture IN the road
and prevent raveling. and the question
has been raised whether or not the
roots Of such trees may spread outun-
derneath the road surface and eysstu-
ally create great damage in severe
climate where there are extremes OF
heat and cold. While French roads
are not always bordered with shade
trees, they are so very frequently. and
my information Is that the trees are
planted not only FOR furnishing shade,
but In order 10 protect the roads them
selves against the effects OF excessive
heat and drought IL Is believed that
the long dry summer season Is much
