ROADSIDE PLANTING
NEGLECTED. BY STATES
One Detail of Highway Construction
Which Has Not Received Atten-
tion, It Is Pointed Out.

A detail of road construction which
has not received proper attention, it is
said, Is roadside planting. In some
states which have been constructing
their highways systematically for a
longer time than Wisconsin. for in
stance. Massachusetts, New Jersey,
New York. Illinois and California. this
work has received a great deal Of at
tention. In some European countries
the roadsides have been planted with
nut and fruit bearing trees which not
only beautify the roadside, but actual
ly yield some revenue.
Aside. from the standpoint of beauty;
vegetation along the roadside has a
very practical value. Trees properly
placed, by shading the road, tend to
prevent excessive evaporation and thus
assist in preserving macadam roads and
the bitumens which should be used in
their maintenance. They also serve as
effective windbreaks, and will not only
add to the comfort of travellers. but
tend to prevent the drifting of snow.
But probably the greatest benefit de-
rived from vegetation Is the protection
against erosion provided by trees.
shrubs and grasses. The outlying of
new embankments after heavy rain
falls is a matter of common observa-
ton. The sooner these banks become
sodded the less the loss.
There are many wild flowers which
