ease is working across the state from
west to east as if with prevailing
winds. 1t has already overrun five
counties, and has established. centers
through the rest. AS one in every six
of our timber trees is a chestnut, the
commercial loss in many areas will be
severe. No more farmers will send
their boys and girls to college, winter
by winter, from the sale of ties and
planks and posts from the rapidly
growing stands Of straight chestnuts.
But the sentimental loss will entail
even more regret. The chestnut tree,
like its close cousins, the beech and
oak. has made its own place in our
rugged New England life. 1t enters
our stories and poems and fireside
talk as olive and palm enter the le-
gends and songs of the Mediterranean.
Its furrowed bark and open branching
accord with our scenery and climate
as the durability and bold figure of it's
wood accord with the old style virtues
of New Englanders themselves. Its
fruit is the sweetest of all our nuts.
In the farmers homely calendar it's
blossoming has always marked the
time for the sowing of buckwheat; the
parting of it's burrs gives the signal
for the uncertain husbandries between
frost and freeze. With the disappear
ance Of the chestnut tree from our
landscapes the Boom New England
movement will lose one of it's attrac-
tive assets.

Grass.

John ]. Ingalls,: Lying in the sun
shine among the buttercups and dande-
lions of May, scarcely higher in in
telligence than the minute tenants of
that mimic wilderness. our earliest
recollections are of grass; and when
the fitful fever is ended and the foolish
wrangIe of the market and forum is
closed, grass heals over the scar which
our descent into the bosom of the
earth has made, and the carpet of the
infant becomes the blanket of the
dead.
Grass is the forgiveness of nature
her constant benediction. Fields
trampled with battle, saturated with
blood, torn with the ruts of cannon.
grow green again with grass, and
carnage is forgotten. Streets abandon
ed by traffic become grass grown, like
rural lanes and are obliterated.
Forests decay, harvests perish, flow
ers vanish, but grass is immortal Be-
leagured by the sullen hosts of winter,
it withdraws into the impregnable
fortress of it's subterranean vitality
and emerges upon the first solicitation
of spring.

ing birds, propagated by the subtle
