Office Of Public Roads Busy.

Motorists generally are sanguine that
the roads cooperation just established
between the national government and
the several states will accomplish a
big step toward the evolution of a fed
eral system OF highways which will
connect the different sections OF the
country as effectively as the French
plan OF national routes.
Putting this great new policy into
operation. involving an outlay OF $751;
100000 OF government money, has
made OF the United States Office OF
public roads and rural engineering
about the busiest bureau In the gov
eminent service. While the federal
aid road law designates the secretary
Of agriculture as the executive officer
for carrying out the act, he will In the
main meet this requirement through
the agency OF the public roads office,

HOW -
To Plant Trees So That They

set them out with more than ordl.

never put forth leaf. What do you
think was the reasonY"
Complaints of this sort are frequent

planters, and we believe the most fire.
quent cause Of failure II careless han
ding Of the stock after II leaves the
nursery. Sometimes this carclessncss
Ii the fault Of the purchaser. but more
often OF the dealer who buys trees In
large quantities for his retail trade.
The nurscryman as rule packs the
stock carefully, knowing full well tho
danger Of exposure Of the roots TO air
aud sunlight.
Exposure Of the tender rootlets OF
trees and shrubs to sun and wind for
even short time Is extremely inJuri-
Gus and should never liz allowed. They
should be carefully wrapped and kept
damp from the moment they leave
their native soil until they are trans
planted.
Frequently the thoughtless or mex.
pericnced planter Is to blame rather
than the dealer. Perhaps he IL not
quite ready To plant when the stock
arrives and instead Of "heeling In" the
trees or shrubs or storing them In q
dark. damp place. allows them TO re-
main exposed for some time until the
roots are 50 badly dried out that they
are practically dead before planting
Such neglect, whether the fault OF
shipper or purchaser. is frequent
cause OF failure and encouragement In
tree planting.
