TREES FOR NEW ROADS.
Forestry Board Oliers to Aid Good
Roads Commission.


The State Board Of Forestry, at its
meeting In Baltimore one day last
week adopted resolution Offering 10
cooperate with the Good Roads Com
mission in planting shade trees along
the new thoroughfares that will be
built, In accordance with the law au-
thorizing the commission to cause
suitable trees to be planted.
In the resolution passed aid was
not only offered the Good Roads Com
mission In the selection of trees and
their planting, but the State Forester,
Prof. #. w. Besley, was instructed to
formulate plans for selecting and
planting the trees best suited to each
locality.
If the Good Roads Commission ac-
cepts the offer OF the Board OF For
estry. Mr.. Besley will recommend a
number Of trees and will take into
consideration the locality through
which the road will run and the soil
to which each tree Is best adapted.
There Is wide range of shade trees
from which to select, but some will
grow better in sandy soil while others
thrive in other kinds OF earth.
Among the trees which Mr.. Bosley
will recommend II the offer Is accept
ed Will be the Norway maple, the
sugar maple, the linden, the elm, the
yellow poplar and the pin oak, all
OF which are classed as hardwoods
and In the other class the Norway
spruce. the cypress and several va
rieties OF pine. All of these species
are desirable as shade trees.
