TREE PLANTING BY ROADSIDE
Shade Is Great Help in Keeping Pave
ment In Prime Condition.
Beauty Is Added.

There Is a newly discovered benefit
in tree planting by the roadside. 1t
has been learned of late that the
shade or partial shade of roadside
trees is a great aid in keeping the
pavement in prime condition. The au-
thorities tell us that during the hot
days of summer improved roadbeds are
injured by the direct rays Of the sun
and that the partial shade of trees
planted by the roadside enables the
cement or other paVements to stand
much longer unimpaired. Roadside
trees will far more than pay for them
selves by assisting in preserving good
roads. Then there is the beauty of
shade trees, and If fruit trees are
planted think of the abundance OF
peach, plum, pear, cherry, apple and
other fruit trees growing by the road
side Which in the aggregate would
amount to millions of dollars If gem
orally planted through the fruit grow
ing sections of the United States.
