PLANT TREES ALONG ROADS
Their Value In the Hot, elisterlng
Days Of Summer Can Hardly Be
Overestlmated.

The time will come, says a New Jer-
icy society that Is devoted to the adj
vocacy of roadside planting, when trees
will line both sides Of our rural roads.
That Is an optimistic observation, but
there Is probably a good deal Of truth
back Of 1t. The farmer everywhere is
undoubtedly beginning to show greater
pride and interest In the appearance OF
bis place. The city residents invasion
and the consequent establishment Of
summer homes and Country estates'
has set a new standard in many com.

1t requires little Imagination to fancy
how quickly a sunHy, b%llstering hot,
dusty road could be transformed If the
farmers whose property abuts on 1t
along a stretch Of two or three miles
would all agree to line 1t with saplings
this fall. The work could be done in
Z few days when little else about the
farm requires attention. The improve

Gary, Ind, built in the open on a pre-

as the most efficiently organized indus

built with a proper consideration for
the health and comfort of the occu-

easy terms If desired. The parks,

adjuncts were well outlined. The pub

best in the country, as is evidenced by
the fact that New York city arranged
for the construction of u schools after
the Gary pattern. They are to be built
and organized under the supervision Of
the Gary school superintendent.

PLANTING OF TREES A DUTY
Texas Newspaper Urges Citizens te
Recognize the Necessity for
Concerted Action.

There should be trees set out along
all highways. The Banner has often
called attention to this needed de-
parture from the beaten track. For
several hundred years the people of
this country have been trying to get
rid Of trees, but the pioneer days are
gone and there Is need of not only
overcoming the habit acquired during
these many years Of tree restitution,
but the habit Of planting and setting
out trees should be encouraged and
lnculcated at every opportunity. Trees
increase the attractiveness Of the high
ways. improve the general appearance
Of the community through which the
highway runs, and bring about a con-
dition which means greater develop
ment, higher ideals, general esthetic
Improvement Of the public. It is time
to plan the placing Of trees along the
highways. II the people who live along
the roadways are not willing to con
tribute some time to setting out and
caring for trees, there should be some
plan fallen upon which will bring
about this needed. improvements

Tear Down Wooden Fences.

Get rid Of the wooden fences and
you will help get rid Of rats, flies and
mosquitoes. So . says DR.. John d.
Blake, health commissioner Of Baltl-
more. Doctor Blake believes that
much disease and sickness is brought
about by the wooden fence.
'F1rst Of all the wooden fence Is an
obstruction to proper supervision Of
the premises by the police" the COM
missioner said. 1.-THE presence Of rub.
bish, stagnant pools and other insani-
tary conditions in yards cannot be de-
tected by the police or health officials
as long as they are hidden by wooden
fences. The back fence Is an excellent
hiding place for burglars and tramps
at night. II q burglar manages to
Jump the fence he can take his time
getting into the house. There is no
need for him to hurry, as the fence
keeps anyone from seeing him.
1.-THE wooden fence prevents the
proper circulation Of air. Persons liv.
Ing In houses surrounded by high
wooden fences do not get the real ben.
efts Of pure, fresh air. This is detri-
mental to the health.
'Rats, fies and mosquitoes carry
germs and spread disease. To do away
with disease We must exterminate
these. The dilapidated wooden fence
attracts bugs Of all descriptions. Rats
gnaw at the wood and dig holes under
and around II. These holes become
filled with water and In time are *
ceiient breeding places for dies and
mosquitoes.

that meetings for the discussion of
course were of great Importance and
tended to disseminate information, but
that personal contact with the man who
could be persuaded to set out trees and
care for them was of far greater i'm
portance; that no man could expect to

permitted to spend two-thirds of his

a class of young men who had yet to
make start in life or who had not
even yet acquired the land upon which
to plant his trees or in his Office writing
technical letters to people who could
not get by any possibility acquired a
technical knowledge of forestry.
Upon inquiry as to resolution adopted
| by the Vermont Timberland Owners
association last Friday evening, the
governor stated that an examination of
the list of officers of this association as
published disclosed that these people
were not cumberland owners, but the
representatives of large concerns in
Massachusetts, and New Hampshire
whose principal business up to the pres
ent time was the denuding of the for
est lands rather than the encouragement
of tree planting and that apparently
the officers of this association We're non
residents.
He further stated that letters and
resolutions which have come from
Washington and the forestry confer
ence have been inspired. He was in
Washington himself last week and
! states that some of the bureau chiefs
there had very kindly Informed him as
to how the bill should be drawn and
: written. Dean Hill, secretary of the
! board of agriculture board and forestry,
/, had written him that the board of ag-
riculture and forestry should be abol
t ished. The appropriations for agricul
d ture and forestry, which had been d
e vided early last summer, had not al
t that time been apportioned.
