WILL PLANT NUT TREES,
Farmers Interested in Movement to
EmkellIsh Highways.

The Houghton County Farm bureau.
at the suggestion of Agriculturalist
.Geismdr, las, summer adopted a plan
to plant nut trees on vacant spaces
along the roadsides. This rlan has
been followed up and several promi-
ncnt farmers of this county have
agreed To plant a certain number of
trees alongside the roads i'm the vi
entity of their farms next summer.
The plan is to plant the trees and
have the farmers and landowners bear
the expense and from the sale of the
products, create a fund for the build
ing Of roads. This plan has been con-
sidered favorably by many and there
is probability Of its being generally
adopted once the initiative is taken.
The officials Of Saginaw county have
also tormuated plans for the planting
IF trees but their plan involves pub
lie expense and a long wait before
any profit is realized ON The scheme.
This is due To the fact that the Sagi-
nav county board of trade has re-
qucstcd the county board 20 max f,
small appropriations for the purchase
Of seed from which the trees will be
grown.
