TO GROW
/ TREES IN SAND
State Forester Tells Of e.
forts at Atlantic City.

Trenton, Nov. 22.-"Contrary is
the general belief, trees can be made
to grow along the seashore," de-
lclared State Forester Alfred Gaskill
today in discussing the efforts OF
people in Atlantic City, to beautify
their town through growing trees,
shrubs and grass. Continuing the
| discussion, Mr.. Gaskill said:
"In consultation recently with a
number of citizens of Atlantic City
/ learned that many of the people
| who strive to grow trees, shrubs or
grass along the coast make a prac-
tice of importing soil. Quite a mum
Der OF people In Atlantic City ap-
parently believe that they can make
plants grow only In earth brought
lfrom Pennsylvania. That, OF course,
is ridiculous, for II 1t were neces-
sary to transport soil, there is plenty
in Jersey just as good as any on
the other side of the Delaware River.
81 want to make it plain that
there Is no need to import soil at
all. Though it is admitted that the
sands along the coast are sterile IN
a high degree, 1t is easily possible
so to manipulate them that they VIII
support vegetation"
The State Forester said that to
confirm his claim he had asked DR..
Jacob G.. Lipman, Director of the
State Agricultural Experiment sta
ton, at ew Brunswick, and a soil
chemist of wide repute, for a formula
for treating seasore sand. DR.. LIP
man has complied with the request,
and on this Mr.. Gaskill said:
CDR. Lipman promises that II the
following directions be followed any
one can make trees grow In the sand
and under conditions similar to those
of Atlantic City and other seashore
resorts.
1 Apply oyster shell lime at the
rate of two tons per acre, or Ia
ounces per square foot. j..
2 Apply wood ashes at the rate OF
half a ton per acre, or IS ounce per
square foot.
8 Apply the following fertilizer
mixture at the rate Of 1000 lbs. per
acre, or Y n per square foot:
200 lbs. of tankage; 200 lbs. ground
fish; 800 lbs. acid phosphate and 800
lbs. muriat Of potash; or composted
manure may be used at the rate of
ten tons per acre. Repeat the ap-
plication Of lime and wood ashes
once in three to four years, but ap-
ply the fertilizer mixture annually.
Concluding his interview, the State
Forester said:
"Those who are interested are re-
minded that tree planting along the
coast involves other problems than
those concerning the soil; such as
choice Of species, unusual exposure
to winter winds, etc. Except in the
most exposed situations trees prop
erly chosen, properly planted and
| properly cared for can be maintained
even though the native soil is not

THE GRASP OF THE MONOPOLY.

The of T. Swope, residing the bench south Of
the city, is illustration of the in which custom
and prospective customers Of the telephone monopoly
in this city are served Last May order placed
with the monopoly for the installation of telephone.
The usual promise Of prompt installation given but
after waiting through May and until the last Of June
without any instrument being supplied and without any
satisfaction being secured to when would be- and
after numerous trips from the country to the office of the
monopoly in the city to satisfaction, Mr.
Swope finally managed to get his money returned to him
after deal of red tape had been unwound.
Again in September he decided to try again. He
signed up ORDER paid his 81 down for two months
advance and went home to await installation He is still
waiting.
Just the road from him is neighbor who as
long ago last August paid his little old 81 down and
received for it promise to have telephone installed He
has become weary many times since then and has taken
steps to demand the return of his money until such time
the monopoly shall feel pleased to give service for the
money they have accepted but up to date he has been
able to strike just the right combination to the red tape
locked up in the down town office of the naughty
opoly and get neither his money nor telephone
Now, what can these people do7 They situated
of the first lines of this monopoly to be rebuilt but the
monopoly has their money and refuses to act!
They apply to the courts. There is not court in
the country but could and would issue order to this
monopoly to install their instruments and give service to
the people whose money they have taken But no one
to court without attorney and attorneys cost
moneys no go to court without deposit of
for costs and probably in of this kind without put
ting up bond. No ordinary citizen can do this.
What, then can we do9 Shall we remain at the mercy
CT the monopoly?
It looks like it, unless the people shall become aroused
and assert their power once
The morning savage is still fighting from ambush be-
its masters will not let it do otherwise and because
that is its natural method of fighting but long as the
people where the bush is that it hides behind
and long they prepared to expect shots to
from that direction, it is not likely that any harm will
follow.

ways listen.
Again they appear to listen to you
with parted lips and bated breath. but
you need not feel flattered. They are
not really listening to what you say
at all. In reality they are watching
for an opportunity to break in with
yes, l." or THAT reminds me-" or
some similar grab at the center Of
the conversational stage.
These people never comment upon or
answer other peoples remarks. They
simply cap them with remarks Of their
own.
For instance, you see a picture Of
Maude Adams and say that you saw
her in "As You Like It." Where
upon It never occurs to this type OF
person to ask II you enjoyed the play,
Instead he volunteers the important
information that he never saw that
but that he once saw Julia Mar1owe
in Romeo and Juliet"
Some clever conversationalist Is
telling very interesting story Of an
unusual vacation trip. The rest OF
the company listen with genuine at
tention. Being Intelligent, open mind
ed people. they like to hear about new
places and customs. But the that re-
minds me" lady has the far-away look
OF rapt self-communion until the
speaker happens to say the name OF
some place which is familiar to her
At that she comes back to earth and
breaks into the conversation with
some inspiring bit Of Information such
as did you say Grand Manan?
thought of going there last summer
or Nantucket, why that's where my
sister in-law spent her vacation two
years ago"
OF course, to this type of people other
folks anecdotes are never anything
but an Introduction to their own
Sometimes they pause long enough to
say a word or two of applause before
they tell you the infinitely more in
teresting story they heard. Sometimes
they don't risk losing their oppor-
tunity by indulging in that courtesy.
Whenever 1 meet people like this
and feel irritated by them I always
pause a moment and remember BishoI
Selwyn's definition Of bore. which
think I have previously quoted tc
yOu-A pore Is n person WHO SlsIsts
upon talking about himself when you
want to talk about yourself"
OF course, there Is always a posi-
hility that the person you are putting
in the that reminds me" class has
just about the same opinion Of you.
But there Is one sure way to avoid
this. And that Is to exert yourself
to take such a genuine interest in what
other people are saying that no one
will think Of CHASING you with the
that reminds me- folks.
