TREES FOR KANSAS STREETS
State University Botanist Names tire
Varieties Best Adapted to Climatic
Conditions Here

What kind of trees shall / plant
this Year,"
That is the question many home
owners are asking just now. Prof. w.
e Stevens, botanist at the University
or Kansas, has selected a few of the
most easily grown species which he
rlnds best adapted to Kansas condi-
tions
For purposes of tree planting, Kan
sas may be divided into sections, with
north and south line running
through Hutchinson separating them"
Prof Stevens said. "The amount of
rainfall Is the principal basis of
tne division and only trees suited to
the given condition should be planted"
East of Hutchinson there is heavier
rainfall than in the western part of
the state For this territory the
sycamore is the best all around shade
tree. Prof Stevens says. 1t is tough
enough to Withstand the Kansas winds,
fairly rapid in growth and provides ex-
ceIlent shade. Oaks also are good, es-
peclally the red, burr and pin oaks.
West of Hutchinson the climate is
dry and the ground water deeper, re-
curing different type of tree" he
continued THE blackberry and green
ash which also thrive in Eastern Kan
sas, are dependable trees and have
no fatal insect pests. Russian null
berry and honey locust trees are good,
though they suffer from slime flux.
These trees just named are prin-
cipally for street shado. For yard and
parks Austrian and Scotch pines, red
cedar and Chinese arbor vitae are ex-
cellent varieties. Under no conditions
should catalpas be planted. They are
unsightly and are too brittle to with
stand Kansas climate Cottonwoods
may be planted temporarily while
slower growing trees are reaching ma
turity, but they should be cut down
before they crowd the permanent
trees"

New York, Feb. 23@"Big business

s. d. Warmer, spokesman for the
anthracite coal operators, yesterday
thus expressed the changed conditions
surrounding the negotiations for in
creased wages between miners and
their employees over those of 1904. At
that time the public was looked upon

The same policy of open dealing, War
