anything to be done in the near flu

waiting sentiment in that direction.
Many counties are making large in
Ivestments In good roads and the rural
districts are coming to be as much I'M
der the public eye as the city streets.
The article suggests that along the
public roads there might be planted
our native trees, such as blackberry,

Towering shrubs, such as the crepe
myrtle, althea. red bud spircas, etc

The tenant farmer should be en-
couraged to make his place look as at
tractive as possible. A few trees
about a place mean much to the com-
fort and attractiveness Of home.
Any tenant might have few peach
trees. He could plant the seed, which
would at least make shade and
probably the fruit might be good. Be-
sides. many land owners would be

any assurance that they would be
reasonably cared for. The tenant
should get away from the idea that
he will not make any effort, for fear
that some one else may reap the bene-

be true, he should have that much

NATIONAL FOREST RECEIPTS
ENCEED ALL PREVIOUS YEARS

WASHINGTON. July 24.--Receipss
from national forests for the fiscal
year 1916 reached the high-watcr
mark of approximately s2.s2o,o 600.
according to figures just complied.
This IL $4,000 above the 1915
total. which In turn exceeded any
previous year. Officials say that tha
gain was due to increased demand
for oil classes OF forest products.
There was a decided growth In the
revenue from all sources. the largest
being that OF 100000 in timber
sales. Grazing fees showed a gain Of
$4,000. Receipts for water pow n
development were over $4,000 more
than for 1915. Sales Of turpcntine
privileges and charges for special
uses we're both considerably in ev-
cess of the previous year.
Officials say that the national fol-
ests are important factors In the pros
perity Of the regions in which they
are located, on account OF the large
amounts OF timber. range and other
resources which they hold available
for use as needed. Business condi-
tons are reflected in the receipts Of
the forests. Consequently the show
ing for the past year is regarded as
an index OF increased business ac-
tivity throughout the sections where
the national forests are found.
