Arbor And Highway Day.

Arbor and Highway Day, by proclama-
tion of the Governor on Friday. April 9th,
has this year special significance be-
cause it is the first anniversary of the
passage of the Roadside Tree Law by the
Legislature of 1914 This law places all
trees now growing beside the roadways or
along the streets of incorporated towns
under the supervision of the State. In
addition to the care and protection of ex-
listing trees. the law provides for the plant
ing Of new ones.
The State has spent approximately $751;
100000 in constructing improved roads,
which compare favorably with any in the
country. The next step in their improve
ment is to beautify them and make them
more attractive by the planting of shade
trees. What is more attractive than a
well-shaded street or roadway. particularly
If the trees are uniform in size and kind,
giving distinctive character that cannot
be obtained except by systematic effort
and the execution Of carefully thought out
and well-executed plansH The State Board
of Forestry. which is charged with the
administration of the Roadside Tree Law
is prepared to cooperate with towns. as
sociations and individuals in the work Of
planting trees along the streets and high
ways.
Suitable trees can be purchased and
planted along Maryland's highways at a
cost Of 81 to So each. Trees that grow to
a large size should be spaced not less than
so feet apart. while those that do moi
reach as great size should be spaced from
80 to 40 feet apart. In the first case il
would take about 200 trees to the mile
and in the second 800 to $50 to the mile
Is there any other investment that would
bring better return in public benefit OF
would there be more appropriate way Of
celebrating Arbor DayH So many people
would be directly benefited by the plant
ing of the trees that small contribution
from large number would easily pay the
cost of the work, and give each financial
interest in an investment for the welfare
of the community.
In order to assist in this movement and
furnish demonstrations of well-shaded
highways, the State Board of Forestry
will furnish free either locust or tulip pop
lar trees for a mile of planting in each
county of the State, also supplying COM
petent man to supervise the work under
the following conditions:
The mile to be planted must be along
an improved road outside of the corporate
limits Of any town, and the abutting prop
erty owners must all have given their ap-
proval of the planting the trees will be
planted within the right-of-way of the
road; where tulip poplar is used they shall
be not less than so feet apart. where
locust is used not less than 80 feet The
applications will be considered in the order
in which they are received, but the State
Board of Forestry reserves the right to
accept the proposition that offers the best
opportunity for demonstration in each
county.
This offer is open to county commission
ers, associations or individuals that may
be interested. With Arbor Day and the
planting time at hand. it is important that
quick action be taken.
