SOUNDS A DIscoRDANT NOTE
Plan for Civic Identification Is op
posed by Leading Pittsburgh
journal.

At Atlantic City the United States
department of agriculture proposes to
demonstrate for the country what can
be accomplished in civic Identification
by Transforming bare lots, street ter
races, portions of Fairgrounds and va
cant property into flower gardens.
Alexander Weintrob, who last year
visited Europe to see what is being
done there to spread the Identification
movement among the people has been
designated in charge Of the Atlantic
City plan Substitution of flowers for
vegetables in lot development will be
urged generally, it is said, If it sue
ceeds there.
The project, says the Pittsburgh Dis
patch, recalls the free seed largess.
If the department Of agriculture is 60
ing to try to make those seeds grow,
something that few of the recipients
of congressional bounty have been
able to do, it may be all right, but it
seems as much waste of government
tai effort as the seed distribution is Of
public money.
Civic Identification, further OBJ
serves the Dispatch, might well be left
to the various communities them
selves If Atlantic City househ elders
or lot owners prefer vegetables to
flowers in the hope of cutting down
the cost of living or making money
supplying the tables of visitors. why
should Uncle Sam intervene? Just at
this time. with so many important
crop prcblcms to be considered, the
department might be more profitably
emnloyed on practical work.

MOVE IN RIGHT DIRECTION
Annual Ciean-Up Exercises Have Been
Taken Up With Enthusiasm That
is Commendahie.

The good influence of the painters
as factor for health and cleanli-
ness is manifested in the statement
that largely through the persuasion
of the national organization 2,200
cities and towns have begun annual
cleanup enterprises and this sea.
son it is expected that about 500 more
will adopt the slogan. With 5000 cit
les and towns securing and scrubbing
and painting simultaneously it may
be said that the United States has
got the habit of cleanliness. This habit
once formed will endure 1t will make
for a healthier, better country. 1t
will set a standard of appearance and
sanitation that must necessarily result
in the years to come in better citizen
ship, through sounder health and a
more definite consideration for the
general welfare. Washington has
been cleaned up each spring during re-
cent years and is proud to have been
one of the first to go after the disease
carrying fly and to rout out its breed
ing places. It has yet to acquire the
painting habit, but that will surely
follow.

TREES ON PUBLIC STREETS
New Yorl, Authority Would Have Mu-
inequalities Take Up Work OF
Planting and Care.

The New York State college of for
estry at Syracuse university is urging
the municipalities of the state to take
up public control of street tree plant
ing and preservation in the same man
ner as public control is exercised over
other street improvements. During
the last year the college has made in
vestigation of the shade trees in many
cities and towns of the state, including
New York city, Syracuse. Binghamton,
Amsterdam, Mt. Vernon, Newburg
and Olean. 1t has been found that
thousands of shade trees are dying
along the streets of the cities due to
past mistakes in selection of varieties
and in spacing the trees at the time
of planting.
Within the cities of the state there
are, it is said, 10000 miles of street
capable of sustaining a growth OF
100000 shade trees, which can be
made worth $100,00OO0O in increased
property value. Buffalo spends an
nually about $4,000 for planting and
conservation of shade trees along its
pubic streets.
Almost half of the land area of New
York state is better suited, it is said
to the g.Dwing of timber than to as'
riculture. Agriculture alone cannot
solve the land problems of the state.
Forestry and agriculture are co-or-
dnate, and togethey will bring about
the most effective utilization of the
soils Of the state and of the country.

CITY HELPED BY NEWSPAPER
Prominent Man Of Mobile, Ala, Gives
Testimony TO Good Work
by Press.

"The Mobile chamber of commerce
for the last couple OF years has not
taken any page space in newspapers;
but we have had occasion recently to
have a great deal of newspaper pub
licity on several matters and the re-
suits from it have been far beyond
our expectations.
Within the last two weeks we had
a campaign for the raising Of better
live stock, which was commented On
by the newspapers throughout the
country. and brought up scores of in
ouiries from all parts of the United
States. Without this newspaper pub
Lefty our campaign would have been
for naught, as it was through the
newspapers that the interest was
aroused, and today everyone in this
section is talking cattle raising.
Another instance:
Some weeks ago we inauguTatad a
movement to celebrate a day in honor
of the Satsuma orange, grown in this
section, which is a recent industry
Our purpose was to advertise it
through the stores. hotels, etc. We
did not think our first attempt would
be a big success, but the newspapers
took up the matter with a vim, and
the attendance from surrounding sec
tons was far in excess of what we
ANTICIPATED.
This was all accomplished entirely
by the newspapers. and without their
cooperation we DO not believe we
could have had such success. >

PAYS TO GUARD THE TREES
Either on Street or Lawn, II Is Mis-.
take to Leave the Saplings
Unprotected.

Young trees, especially street trees,
shculd be protected and supported by
tree guards PLACED around them inme-
diately after planting. For street
trees, a wire or metal guard is most
economical. For lawn trees, a single
stake firmly driven into the soil is
usually sufficient. Leather or canvas
straps should be used to attach the
tree to the support.
Cultivation of the soil for three feet
around the tree is beneficial during the
FIRST years of growth. Loosen the top
soil with a spade or hoe 4, sufficient
number of times during the season to
keep down weeds and grass. A mulch
Of leaves or manure in the fall retains
moisture and acts as fertilizer when
spaded under. During the hot, dry
periods of the summer months, water
ing should be done once or twice each
week. not oftener. The feeding roots
which take up the moisture are at a
distance from the trunk equal to the
length Of the branches, and the water
should be applied literally, but not
too frequently, to these feeding roots.
