Nature Lover Tells About More
Important Varieties

There il perhaps no ether section of
which it might be 90 appropriately said:
Not many years ago where you now
sit encircled by all that exalts and en-
bellishes civilized life, the bison browsed
the short grass and the coyote dug his
hole unscarsd." This was true even in
the memory Of the older settlers Of to-
day. The immense herds Of buffalo
that the early pioneers found here in
dicated that this would be great cattle
country and 30 it proved to be. The
natural growth Of grass over the land
had been selected by Natures horticul-
turists and had certainly proven suit
able to the needs and conditions In
every particular.
Each class or kind Of soil was provid-
ed with its particular species or variety
and apparently where it could not be
easily determined which one should be
grown, there was found a mixture. Not
only were the true grasses found IN
abundance, but scattered among them
were many plants belonging to the nj
trogsn gathering family SO in reality .
rational rotation was provided that no
soil exhaustion would be taking place
from the growing of the grasses. On
the low lands where there was plenty
of moisture, and especially if lirpe stone
abounded in the hills. the blue stems
were found in abundance. This grass
was particularly sought by grazing ami
mails during the early part Of the season
while it was succulent owing to its
rapid growth.
On slightly higher land where the
moisture supply was not 80 great there
were other kinds Of grass. A large
number of these are included under the
term buffalo grass. The slender wheat
grass. a. it is now called, may perhaps
not have been included, but it is one of
the most valuable Of the native kinds
and il being propagatsd and has found
An important position among the 30
called tame grass. The grama and
side-oat grass were found on slightly
higher land than tho slender wheat
grass and are very important members
Of the short-grass family. The gramas
are distinguished by having one or three
heads which hang off to one side Of the
main stalk, like pennants. which are
usually about one inch long and easily
turned, and indicates the direction of
the wind. It 10 not common to find
large areas of this grass in single
locality. 1t grows among the true buff
falo grasses from which it is distin-
guished by its tall seed stem, just men,

The true buffalo grass forms the bulk
of the native grasses on the uplands and

of the $50 or more kinds found by bot

being only few inches high. 1t il dis

Garden Cltles,

England has passed laws making

found that people deteriorate unless
their towns have beauty In natural
scenery. The craving for beauty is an
instinct of civilization. Our artificial
life brings vital exhaustion. depres-
sion, overwrought nerves. with their
train OF nagging ills for which nothing
is so beneficial as contemplation Of
beauty In natural scenery. 1t is not
considered sufficient that city be sur
rounded by fine parks. What seems
to be needed In addition is a system
Of little parks. or breathing places.

can get quite often sight Of the
beauty there displayed for their uplift
and solace. II Is a wise movement
which should spread to other places.

POINTERS ON STREET TREES
They Should Be Selected to Accord
With the Width Of the
Highway.

Keep these points In view when
planting either on country highways
or city streets: Choose trees accord
ing to width Of street; pepper trees on
twenty-foot street or Italian cy-
presses on a broad avenue would be
nearly equally Inappropriate. though
the first Is the greater mistake Of the
two. Allow plenty Of space for each
tree to develop unrestricted its natural
growth and individualism; green
wall on each side is not the end
sought. Choose trees that are native
or from climates not widely dissimilar
to ours; except where long-continued
special care is assured. Any kind Of
tree is no kind trees should be
ornamental and appropriate as posi-
BILE. and the cost Of caring for the best
certainly is less than that required by
the poorest. Above all Tor rather be-
low ALI dig the holes large. deep. and
wide, and refill with soil good enough
for any plant"

The law creating the Kentucky Tu-
berculosis Commission at the last leg
stature provides also a plan for the
building OF small hospitals throughout
the state for the proper treatment OF
tuberculosis. The plan In brief Is as
follows: The Fiscal Court OF any
county may declare that county a dis
trict for the purpose OF building a hos
pital. Or. by petition. the question
may be submitted to a vote OF the peo-
pie at any regular election. and. II
carried, II is then the duty OF the Fis-
cal Court to declare the county a dis
trict Any group OF counties touching
one another may declare themselves
q single district for this purpose by a
vote at any general election which
carries In each OF the counties in
volved. Then, under certain restric-
tons in the law. the State Commission
names a considerable group Of citi-
zens, men and women. OF the county
or counties involved. from which
group the judges OF these counties
name a District Board OF tuberculosis
Hospital Trustees. This Board then
asks OF the Fiscal Court funds to be
raised in the regular levy OF taxes.
From these funds site is selected,
subject to the approval OF the State
Commission. and then the Board pro
ceeds to erect the hospital. The State
Commission is given a very general
oversight of vhe future activities OF
