PLANTING ROADSIDE TREES.
Simple and inexpensive Method o.
Improving Cities and Towns.

Simple and inexpensive method OF
Improving Cities and Towns.
There are some things they do bet
ter in France and in al Europe, for
that matter. than we. One Of the
things that they do better is to plant
their rosdsides with trees. 1t has
never occurred to Us in America to
adopt this simple and inexpensive prac-
tee, possibly because when a new road
is laid L it generally has a good deal
Of woodland beside 1t. But in time
this woodland is cleared of, and our
roads are left stark and bare, broiling
in the summer sun and bleak in the
winter winds.
Aside from the beauty and comfort
given by roadside trees they serve val
liable purposes as windbreaks and
dust shields TO growing crops. The
cost Of such Planting IS practically
nothing, unless elaborate landscape
gardening be attempted or we exercise
our usual haste and insist that half
grown trees BE set out.
IN our extreme pfactlcalltE we nave
been utterly careless of the question
Of beauty In both city and country and
work has been the work Of deface-
ment, says the indianapolis Star. OF
later wears. however. there has been
q strong movement in the cities and
towns toward the city beautiful with
substantial results in the way of
parks, boulevards. bridges and a much
higher order of architecture in both
public and private buildings. In time
We may expect this movement to
spread through the rural communities,
which are already taking up the ques-
ton Of good roads with considerable
vtgor. AS a starter in this direction
nothing would he quite so simple and
inexpensive as planting trees along the
roadsides.
