Not only does Secretary Lane believe
that this amount will establish many
persons in farming who otherwise
would be helping to congest the cities,
but he believes that the crops from
the new farms which will be establish
ed will do more to help increase the
food supply of the country and check
the rise in the cost Of living than any
thing else which the government can
do in this direction during the same
period.

Christmas Trees For 100 Cities.


Chicago. Feb. ~. Protesting against
the cutting OF healthy young ever
green's to be used for IL few days as
Christmas trees and then tossed into
the waste heap, Henry Il. Roney OF
Chicago offered his plan for reform.
He proposes to give trees to 100 m,l-
inequalities on condition the trees are
uprooted. not cut. and after serving in
the holiday celebration are left in parks
or lawns permanently, to grow and to
be used each year.
Mr.. ltoney says he believed this
might start Il general reform to pre-
vent the destruction Of the evergreens.
Unless there is reform soon he fears
the trees will not reproduce rapidly
enough to prevent extinction.
"IHen the little trees are being cut
faster than they grow" he said. with
the increase in municipal celebrations
the big trees must go too. 1t is this
prospect that forces my offer. l will
give each of 100 communities a tree
from forty to ninety feet high. but only
on condition the roots be taken with
the tree and the tree be planted in pub
lie parks or along the streets"
