TO MAKE TREE COMFORTABLE
Best Results Are Obtained by Prepar
ing the Soil Year Before Plant
ing-Drain Wet Land.

In planting tree to make it grow
and there should be no other aim-the
tree should be made just as comfort
able in it's new environment as pos
sible If the land is wet it should be
drained, for trees will never thrive
with wet feet.
The best results are obtained by pre-.
pairing the land the previous year for
the setting of the trees. Glover or
cowpeas plowed under in the fall will
make humus the following year and
keep the soil about the roots.
Trees will often do well in poor soils
and unfavorable conditions If good soil
is placed about their roots, so that
they get good start the first year OIL
so. After they once become estab
lished they can do considerable toward
taking care of themselves

A profitable side line of farming is
to raise a few nice sheep every year
for men who are willing to pay bit
extra for the sake of improving their
stock. To do this, one should have
good stock and good pastures and good
barns, as well as a good man to care
for them.

not borne out by experience.
Statistics published by the commit
tee ON street safety in the police bul-
letin show that 10 per cent of fatal
street accidents, In cases where the
cause is given, occur by reason of
the victims crossing the street not at
regular crossings. 1t appears estab-

displayed by drivers when crossing
intersecting streets, or rounding cor
ners, conduces to safety. At other
points pedestrians are in danger"
