TREES AND sHRUBs FOR PRIVATE GROUNDS
 AND SCHOOL YARDS
Shade Trees and Ornamental shrubs Are Recommended for Different
 Sections of the United States

What kind of trees shall we plant to beautify our grounds
 What shrubs would be suited to our school yards2
 quentIy asked the United States De- partment of Agriculture. Soil and climatic conditions differ so greatly in the different sections of the United States that in answering such ques- tions special consi iteration has to be given each section. The depart nnent's specialists have prepared a special list of trees and shrubs suited for general use on private grounds, streets, private parks and school yards for each of five general divi- sions of the United States. The first division as as follows:
 New England states. New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohios West Virginia Kentucky, Indiana, AG1chi- gans Illinois Missouri, Iowa
 The lists are merely suggestive, but they include such trees and shrubs as seem well adapted to the particu- lar locality. and they may be of as- sistance to those who are interested in the Identification. of towns and cities. Here is list
 Deciduous trees--Sugar maple, Norway maple. silver maple, green ash, white ash. American white elm, red oak, white oak. pin oak. Amerf- can linden
 Evergreen trees Norway spruce. white spruce, Colorado blue spruce, white pine Scotch pine, balsam fir.
 Shrubs-Lilac, golden bell, exochorda, snow ball. mock orange, hydrangeas Japan quince Towering currant, ca1ycanthus, cornus, deutzia- spiraea, wefgela.
 Some Planting Suggestions. l The beauty of a shade tree der pends upon it's normal and symmetrf- cal growth. In order to insure this, before planting cut off the ends of all broken or mutilated roots; remove all side branches save upon evergreens so that a straight whip like stalk alone remains. Dig holes at least 2 feet in diameter and 1 foot deep in good soib and make them feet across in poor soil. The sides of holes should be perpendicular and the bot tom flat Break up soil in the bottom of tsle hole to the depth Of the length of apade blade. Place 2 or inches of fine top soil, free from sods or other decomposi organic matter, in the bottom of the hole. On top of this place the roots of the tree, spread

London, March I0.-The British ana
French fleets have battered their way
a step nearer to Constantinople, not,
however, without damage to the ships
engaged, and the battle royal for the
Dardanelles continues.
More Turkish forts on the Asiatic
side have been silenced, according to
a statement by the British admiralty
but the Turks are making terrific re-
sistance and the shells from their Ger
man-made guns have found more than
one mark on the besieging craft.
Struggle for constantinopie.
This struggle for the gateway of the
Ottoman capital Is at present the big
feature of the war news and closely
linked with this Is the sustained ex-
element In Greece incident to the res
ignation of the cabinet of M. Veniz-
clos, who, deeming Greece's entry into
hostillties on the side of the triple
entente imperative, could not agree
with his king and resigned. The retir-

and the size and range of the guns, the
battle of the Dardanelles Is unlike

experts. At $1,000 yards the huge

ships, Is hurting shells across the
Gallipoli peninsula into the Turkish
strongholds on the Aslatic shore.
Allied Ships Are Hit.
The admiralty statement covers the
operations and admits that the Turks
not only scored three minor hits on
the Queen Elizabeth, but that the
majority of the ships inside the straits,
both French and British. were struck.
None were sunk and there were no
casualties.
The Turkish forts Rumili Mediidied
Tabia and Handled l, Tabia, firing
ing the Asiatic shore line, which pre-

ment, were silenced. as was the Mount
Dardanus battery, further south. The
Turkish casualties are unknown.
Turks Claim Advantage.
A Turkish official statement from
Constantinople, issued prior to the ad-
miralty statement, insisted that the
fighting in the Dardanelles was devel-
oping in favor of the Turks. 1t was
stated that no batteries were being
destroyed and that the hostile ships
were forced to retreat.
Aeroplanes, taking wing, from the
decks Of the besieging craft, are play
ing notable part In the operations.
One British machine became unman-
ageable and dove into the sea and an
other was hit by the Turks twenty
eight times.
One of the most picturesque bits OF
the days news Is report from Blu
charest, Roumania, stating that former
Sultan Abdul Hamid of Turkey has
regained his freedom and is gathering
his friends and supporters around
him. 1t Is asserted that he may seek
to play an important part In his coun-
