opinion that, on the whole New York
roads would be benefited if bordered
with trees, suggesting, however, that
only such should be planted as have
vertically descending roots.
f, Birot, civil engineer and former
conductor of the bureau of bridges and
highways, expresses himself as fol-
lows on the subject:
an countries where the climate is
damp roadside trees are prejudicial to
the maintenance of the highways, as
they prevent the circulation of the air
and the drying of the soil. In most of
the southern French regions such PLAN
tations are, on the other hand, very
useful in dry weather as they main
tain the roadbed in Il state of fresh
ness favorable to its conservation. In
general, trees should be selected with
high spreading branches, such as the
poplar, the elm, the ash, and they
should be planted generally upon the
outer edge of the roadboX and at dis
tances of 10 meters (32.SO feet. Each
tree should be placed in a hole a meter
(3.2S feet deep and ~ meters (4.92
feet square and should be trimmed to
height of 211a meters $50 feet above
the surface.
The earth about newly planted trees
should be loosened In March and No
vember-in March only after the third
year-and thereafter until their per
manent growth appears assured. Small
trenches should he directed toward the
foot of the trees In order to secure the
benefit of rains Finally the tree itself
should be trimmed annually during the
first ten years"

TREES FOR ROADsIDES.
Preservative Effect of Shade on
French Highways.

In answer to inquiries from the Unit
pd States, Consul General Robert L.
Skinner of Marseilles furnishes the
following information relative to the
effect of wayside trees on French
roads:
1t is proposed to plant trees along
the roadsides of New York state In
order to 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 out un-
derneath the road surface and G..9ntu-
ally create great damage i'll a we're
climate where there are extremes OF
heat and cold. While French roads
IRE 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 to protect the roads them
selves against the effects of excessive
heat and drought 1t is believed that
the long dry summer season is much
more inimical to roads than severe
cold. The chief officer in charge of the
public roads in Marseilles is of the
