Forest Trees For Spring Planting,

The approach of spring and the
planting season will suggest to many
farmers not alone the cultivation of
their usual crops, but perhaps one OF
trees for planting where no other
crops will grow. What to plant on
soils exhausted through long use,
and how To cultivate the waste places
on many farms, constitutes a problem
which most Maryland landowners
have, att one time Oh another, been
called upon to face.
Though forest planting attains its
greatest measure of utility and
value when carried on primarily for
the purpose Oh retaining waste farms
and fields, much good can often be
accomplished through the establish
ment of we'll planned shelterbelts and
Windbreaks. Homes 10 screened are
more comfortable at all times, and
their appearance is at the same time
much improved. Along THE bounda-
ries OF the fields 1T II possible to plant
for live fence posts, post that won't
wear out, and In many other ways
I'D ID entirely feasible to add much To
the average farm through the plant
ing Of forest trees.
This year, for the first time, resi-
dents Of Maryland are given an Or
portunity to- secure State-groWn for
est trees at cost Free advice Is at
the same time given the purchaser az
tO just when, how and what To plant,
and when desired the State Board OF
Forestry at Baltimore, Maryland,
offers to furnish trained men for
supervising and laying cut such work
within the State
Oae year ago the Beard established
at College Park Nursery for the
growing of forest trees Though be-
\ gun ID recently thia Nursery contains
at the present time close to a quarter
million trees which are of suitable
IT, md 49, for planting In the
spring Among the varieties avail
able to landowners OF Maryland are
White and Loblolly Pines. Norway
Spruce, ana Douglas Fir, Black Wal
Y NUT, Black Locust. White Ash, Tulip
Poplar and Red Oak All were valu-
able timber trees, and species of
rapid growth The Ccnifers, I'm com
mon wi-l the Locust and Oak, show

LOGIC AS HE UNDERSTOOD IT
Arthur Could Marshal Many Good
Reasons Why He Should Not At-
tend School.

AS young Arthur was now six, his
parents decided that it was time he
went to school. Arthur had other
views on the subject, and these views
were in direct opposition to those
held by the older people.
In short, Arthur refused pointblank
to 60 within mile and a half Of any
school.
Father threatened dire punishment;
mother held out dreary prospect or
jamless meals, even grandmother
the most kindly of mortals and a
great friend of Arthur's-even she
deserted him and talked about discon-
tinuing the weekly bag OF sweets.
This was great blow to the young
rebel, but h. stuck to his guns.
At last grandmother decided to
make one last effort to soften his
heart.
Now, Arthur dear. why can't you

ed by having large graded schools

merge these groups into central

us to have well-equipped wagons, or
perhaps motor vehicles, by which TO
convey the children from their sew
eral sections tO thu central school
In this way the country people will
get the same advantage as those the
city now enjoy. This system would
insure the regular attendance OF the
children and their continued interest
in school, and would, no doubt, prove
a marvellous success in their educa-
ton. I believe that the education Of
the children OF the country districts
