formerly we have been careless or wasteful, Just
now it is of the utmost importance that we save our
money, every dollar we can spare from actual

temporary use of it to defray the enormous imme-

these savings the Government pays us interest and
absolutely guarantees the safety of the principal.

SHADE TREES ON RoADSIDES
Of Highways in New York
Entirely Void Of Vegetation
Plan 70 Improve.

BY investigations just completed by
the New York State College of For
estry at Syracuse, It has been found
that nine-tenths Of the roadsldes IN.
the rural districts Of New York state
are entirely void Of shade trees. When
this Is considered along with the fact
that last year New York state paid out
of the state treasury about S3O,OO0,OO0
for the construction and maintenance
of road beds, It shows that the state
is not yet awake to the great need
and the great possibilities in rural
roadside Improvement.
A preliminary survey has just been
made by III. II. Francis ia charge OF
the landscape extension work Of the
College Of Forestry.
During the survey, studies were
made of such important features in
rural roadside improvement and beau

LOGGING TRUCKS MAKE ROAD.
One Type Of Car Used In Far West
Has Front Tires Of Ten Inches and
Rear Ones Of Twenty.

Powerful wlde-tired trucks are now
being used In logging regions In Ore
gon and Washington, which virtually
make their own roads as they go. One
type Of these cars is described In Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine. 1t has front
tires 10 inches wide. An expert
enced driver carefully selects his
course as he goes over a route for the
first time and the weight Of his ma
chine makes a road as 1t moves along.
A few trips over the same line OF
travel serves to make a hard, smooth
surface which will withstand consid-
cradle bad weather. Four-wheeled
trailers are often used with these
trucks.

hfcatlOn as good and bad varieties OF
trees found along the highways views
and vistas obtained from the high
ways, the effects of the shade trees on
crops in adjacent fields, the possibili-
ties Of the covering of barren embank
ments and the planting of some de-
sirable sort of vegetation where over

Of the principal features studied was
the condition Of the roadbed as af-
fected by the presence or absence OF
shade trees.
Few people in the state will be able.
TO visit the wonderful national parks
Of the West, but an increasing number
Of people will own automobiles and
use the highways Of the state. Many,
If not all, of these highways may
easily become state parkways of beau
tiful trees and shrubs. Trees grow
like weeds under the climatic condl.
lions existent in New York and with
varied scenery Of intense interest the
highways Of the state will eventually
become as beautiful as those of any
other state In the Unlon.-Green's
