fed a great deal of hay the past winter
but got through without much of any

Trees are absent from the prairies
because they could not compete with
the grasses. Those having their roots
nearer the surface would have the first
chance at the moisture. Trees will dc
we'll on the prairie if given full posses.
sion of the soil their roots occupy. The
Forest Service has investigated the
length of root growth. They find thai
the roots are from one to two times at
long as the tree is high; in other words,
if the tree is IS feet high the roots ex'
tend from is to 80 feet. This gives {
guide for the width that needs to bt

the tree the best chance for rapit

XMAS TREE FOR
ALL NEW YORK
Huge BalSam, Agleam With
Lights, Will Stand in
Madison Square

NEW YORK, Dec. 20-All New York
will have its Christmas tree this year
Those of the five million who have
no tree or hint of Christmas in their
homes need only go to Madison
Square on Christmas eve and there
at one end of the park they will have
for their delight the largest Christ
mas tree that the people OF any city
have ever had for their very own.
The four-story-high tree is the gift
CT Mrs. j. 4. Francis HerIeshoff and
some of her friends TO the people of
the city.
Mrs. Herreshoff, who is a relative
Of the Herreshoffs of yucht building
fame, got the idea of the huge tree
last year. A young man who had no
relatives in this city came back from
a trip abroad on Christmas Eve He
had no place to go to celebrate the
holiday except a hotel. and as he
walked the streets he could see in
every window families happy with
their trees and presents. He thought
then how other homeless and unfor-
tunate ones who tramped the streets
token of the holiday spirit set apart
for them.
Selected Fine Balsam.
He told his story to Mrs. Herreshoff,
and that set her to thinking of a tree
for the whole city. She went to the
Mayor with her plan. but though it
fell though last year she was re-
solved that it should succeed this
time, and early in the fall she went
TO work
First she obtained the assistance of
members Of a Fifth avenue club here.
and she fired them with enthusiasm.
They went to work heart and soul
and soon a huge balsam was picked
out up I'm an Adirondack forest as the
very straightest and most symmetri-
cal of its species.
The shipping Of the tree 70 this city
was no small task. Mrs. Herresoff
found. however. that everyone that
she spoke to about her scheme was
caught by the sentiment of it and
helped gladly. A railroad official
was the next volunteer, and he saw
that the great tree, which will tower
some 60 feet above the park. got to the
city in safety.
Then Mrs. Herreshoff went to the
Edison people and they agreed TO
supply tne myriad lights that will
glow and sparkle from the sweeping
branches.
Mrs. Herreshoff at first wanted to
give away presents, but 4 was point
ed out thar this scheme would be i'm
practical The police, who will be on
hand TO see that order is preserved.
did not feel equal to the task of re-
straining n New York crowd when
something was being given away Tor
nothing. When the gift scheme was
set aside Mrs. Herreshoff decided that
they could have music at any rate. and
she got the services of one of the best
bands in the city II will play be-
meath the balsam monster on Christ
mas Eve and again on Christmas
Night. for the tree is to be illuminated
both of these nights.
