At the chemical plant they are ex'

Street Trees
y Street trees should have hardness
and adaptability. They should be Wig
orous, be able to recover from me-
chanical injuries and be as resistant
as possible against insect attack and
disease. While quick growing trees
are desirable in some ways 1t must be
remembered that such varieties are
likely to be the shortest lived and will
have to be replaced sooner than those
of a somewhat slower growth. which
with good care a be made to develop
more rapidly.
1t is not desirable to have trees
which cast too much shade, particu-
iarly on narrow streets. Houses and
sidewalks heed sur even in summer.
Deciduous, broadleaved trees are most
satisfactory. Again the question of
neatness should be considered; and
the trees which will break up the
pavement, such as silver naples, or
those which cover the pavement with
their bloom in the spring. such as cot
tonwoods and poplars, should be
avoided. Black locust should not be
planted because it is likely to be de-
stroyed by the borer worm. Beech
is a slow grower and casts too dense
a shade for any street.
There are several other points to
be taken inso consideration. Trees
planted along a street should be of
the same kind, the same size and uni
formiy spaced. However, it is not
Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-10-07

with the greatest care. For the best
results organize a tree planting pro-
Crane in your town. If there is no
shade tree commission or city forester
interest yourself in the proposition.
What school children want lone Is
very apt to be done in almost every
community. In selecting trees for
street planting the following qualities
should be considered in about the or
der named: Form, hardness or
a~daptability. rapidly of growth, shade
protection, ~neatness and beauty. AT
best a tree on a city street is some
what at a disadvantage and so some
care should be used in selecting the
best variety for the particular locality
and then they should be planted care
fully and we'll cared for. Trees are
beautiful or otherwise as they har-
monte with their surroundings. Those
that will look well on a. narrow street
may not be suited for a wider street
or a broad avenue. If there is any
doubt on the question it is advisable
to consult the state forest commits
sion. the local forester or some other
authority who can tell what varieties
are best for a given locality.
No general rules, of course. can be
given for the entire United States, or
even for a major portion thereof; but
in a larger part of the Eastern United
States it will be found that for narrow
streets the red maple. red gum or
gingko can be recommended; for wider
streets, Norway maple, Eastwood,

a century ago the saw mills were
only too glad to find anybody willing
to cart sawdust away. Today the or
binary price charged for it at the
mills is 81 a load. and there is always
an adequate demand. Hotels, restau-
rants n other business places use 1t.

packing fragile articles of merchan-
disc it is valuable. In cold storage
houses and market ice boxes great

Pack, President of the American
Forestry Association, sends this mes
sage to the school children of the
United States:
mo finer memorial can be erected
by any school or class than by the
planting Of a tree. Every pupil will
have a close and intimate interest in
that tree and therefore the school
after he leaves it. 1 need not attempt
to picture what that tree or avenue
of trees will mean to the class of 1920
when it comes back to the old school
for the class reunion in 1910. Il the
school grounds or the college campus
permits, a space on the campus or a
walk near the town can be lined with
trees, n for each member of the
class. The American Forestry Asso-
citation is registering all memorial
trees in a national honor roll and
urges that all tree planting be reported
that 1t may keep its rolls complete"
, Many Memorial Days
Last spring and fall hundreds of
trees were planted but much bigger
plans have been made for tree planting
this year and next. Trees are being
planted not alone for the man who
gave his life to his country but in
honor of the man who offered his life.
One of the most unique forms of tree
planting is at Canton. Pa, where a me-
mortal tree has been planted for Miss
Jane Delano of the Red Cross. This
tree stands in a circle of twelve others
on the town play ground The twelve
trees are for the C~antonians who gave
their lives to their country.
What Trees To Plant

desirable to plant the same species
having those of a kind together is
on every street; but the advantage of
hat in case of insect attack they can
be treated easier. On narrow streets
trees planted every forty feet apart,
and alternated on opposite sides of
the street, will be found sufficiently
close; and on wider streets they should
be from forty to sixty feet or even
farther apart, the distance being de-
termined partly by the size which the
tree is likely to attain and by other
habits. Il
Lawn Trees
For lawns and parks and similar
open places there is a far greater va
riety of trees from which selection can
be made than for street planting.
Many trees which are unsuited for one
reason or another on a sidewalk, are
most attractive and ornamental in a
park or on a lawn. The beech, for
instance, which has no value for>street
planting makes a beautiful lawn tree;
and either the native or the European
species may be planted. The sour or
black gum grows under most adverse
circumstances but apparently is not
well suited for street planting,
although as an ornamental tree it de-
serves a place. The same is true of
a number of others which might be
named.
Spring planting is generally most
successful but if proper care is taken,
planting late in the fall is satisfactory.
Purchase trees from a reliable nurs-
cry; beware of tree peddlers. Choose
healthy, well-formed trees. Trees two
and three inches in diameter and 10
or IL feet high are large enough for
any purpose. Where smaller trees can
be used, they generally give better re-
suits, because the roo system is less

Tree planting should form a per-

gram in every city and town in the
States. 1t should not be I'M
lertaken in a temporary or haphazard
manner; but 1t should receive the con-
tant thought and attention of those
Who are interested in making the COM

in adding to the future timber
of the United States. 1t
aust be remembered that what is done

ion to others; and that the habit once
ormed of setting out a number of

Let us keep in mind thought of fu-
ire so well expressed in the poem by
lucy Larcom who said:

He plants love.

Wayfarers he may not live to see."

disturbed by transplanting. Do moi
expose the roots to the sun, wind OF
frost. Keep wet blankets or canvas
wrapped tightly about the roots untl
the tree is ready to be set out; then
plant with the least possible delay.
Trim Root And Branch
Trim off any broken, torn or In
jured roots. Use a sharp prunlng
knife and make a clean, smooth cut.
Remove all broken branches and cut
back one-half to four-ffths of the
previous years branch growth. The
size of the top must be proportioned
to the size of the DOT system or
roots will be unable to supply suf1-
cient water and food for satisfactory
growth. Forest grown trees have poor
root systems and must be severely
pruned by removing the greater part
of the side branches. Never cut back
the main stem or leader.
How To Plant
Dig wide, deep holes. Trees become
root-bound and make poor growth or
die if the roots are cramped or twisted.
The holes should be a foot or two
wider and deeper than is needed to
accommodate the roots. For street
trees, the hole should be about twice
as large as the root system actually
requires. Partially fill the hole with
rich loan and pack it down well. If
poor soil must be used, mix with we'll
rotted manure Green or partially
decomposedn manure will burn the
roots and must not be used.
Do not plant the tree too deep. The
upper roots should lie only an inch
or two deeper in the soil than they
grew originally. Spread out the roots
in their natural position and work soil
around them, a little at a time COM

Explains Workings of
Federal Sugar Board

NEW YORK, Sept. ga very clear
statement of the success of the work
of the sugar equalization board and its
large profit was made in the New York
Times, Sept. IA, in part as follows:
"A little more than a year ago Pres
ident Wilson, as trustee Of the Amer
lean people, made a small investment
in sugar. Compared with the billions
poured out Of the treasury for various
purposes connected with the task OF
defeating Germany, it was a trifle,
mere $5,000,000 drawn from the emer
gency funds provided by congress. But
1t was the only war investment by the
government that has yielded actual
cash returns. When the books are
closed December 81 next the profits
will be in the neighborhood of $25 ,000,-
900 or 500 per cent.
With the $5,000,000 as working cap
ltal the United States Sugar Equiliza-
ton Board was organized. 1t was
chartered in Delaware in July, 1918,
with Mr.. Wilson as sole stockholder,
ard government control system
which involved the purchase Of the
entire Cuban and American sugar
crops was put into effect"
