GIANT THUYA GAINING FAVOR
Found Easier to Grow and Transplant
Than Any Other conifer-Likes
Any Soil.
CBy w. r. CELEBRITY

tBy w. It.
The Giant Thuya is rapidly making
its way in the good opinions of those
interested in conifers. 1t is found
easier to raise and easier to trans
plant than any other confer. 1t will
grow in almost any soil, even in damp,
cold bottoms and on poor dry oolite,
and seems equally Indifferent to wind,
damp and spring frosts There is no
reason why this tree should not be
sold in nurseries at the price OF
spruce, unless it is the absence of a
regular demand, for it can be got to
the proper size for planting in two
years less time. The tree seeds itself
in sandy soil.
In visit to England Few years
ago, 1 saw plantation of Thuya and
larch planted in poor clay over chalk,
and the Thuya had completely out
stepped the larch. Another instance
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1914-04-24

in a twenty-four-year-old plantation Of
Thuya, Douglas fir and larch. on fairly
good soil the Thuya had grown two feet
per annum. and pretty well held its own
with the Douglas, though on a steep
hill about 500 feet in altitude It was
being suppressed. Here then is a
rival to the Douglas infrapid growth,
and the lumber is acclaimed as
superior to that of the best larch, and
preferable to larch for planking and
fencing, SO. apparently decided on
rivaling the Douglas in qaulity. Furth-
er the adaptability of the tree TO soils
and its power of resisting cold and
storms are greater than those OF the
Douglas.

Mayor Robbins FupOrS
Municipal Civic Board

The formation of municipal social

The meeting will be attended by
members of civic improvement organ

are interested in solving the city's
problems to their best interests.

torn from the building which served
for religious meetings for six weeks,
and as the seat Of a temperance cam

Editor Ingram Beholds

Congressman Finly H. Gray has
been careless.

has caused that old journalistic war
horse, Marion H. Ingram, Of the Wilma
mac Democrat-Journal, who fit and
bled" in the Confederate army, to
kick over the traces and snort gun
powder.
Editor Ingram suggests that in the
event of a war Mr. Gray would view
the carnage from the north side of the
Canadian border. He gives vent to
his feelings in the following editorial:

cost can be cut to almost $500.
This will also remove undesirable
conditions on which the county must
operate the line with the traction
company. on whose poles it was to

would have been forced on the county
by which the line would be main
tanned by the traction company and
the cost charged to the poor farm.

tricity from Centerville at a cheaper
rate than was first offered will be
taken up later. With tangible plans to
