INSURE RAPID TREE GROWTH
Sod-MuIch Method Is Not Intended for
Trees Just PIanted-Aim to
Conserve Moisture.

The conditions for young trees
should be made so favorable that they
will start rapidly into growth so that
good well-ripened growth will be
assured before winter. While the sod
mulch method of growing trees gives
very good results under certain condi-
tons 1t is not intended for trees which
have just beer planted. When the sod
mulch method is adopted 1t is usually
after the trees are well established.
when the ground is seeded down to
grass and when sod is formed the grass
is cut and pile put about each tree.
This kills out the sod about the tree,
allows air to penetrate readily and
cOnserves moisture. The drawback to
this system Is that very often there Is
not sufficient material grown in the
orchard to make enough mulch for
each tree. and the sod is not conserved.

High food prices likely would re-
ceive Il severe jolt If every city with
a population of 100000 or more would
establish city food terminal for its
wholesale trade, the bureau Of mar.
kets of the United States department
Of agriculture believes.
All large European cities have such
markets and they have proved very
helpful in keeping down the cost OF
food distribution. The cities Of this
country have been slow In adopting
any kind Of a unified terminal system.
Most of them are getting along as best
they can with no plan. All but those
Of the smallest size usually have sew
erul scattered terminals at which food
products are unlOaded from train, boat
or truck. Frequently the wholesale
houses are located at some distance
from the freight depots. This neces-
states loading the products into
truck, or. wagon, carting them across
the city, and unloading them again
All these expenses add to the price
the consumer eventually pays for his
| food. A city terminal market elimi-
mates this unnecessary handling and
caItage, for under such an arrange
ment the wholesale district and the
| terminal are brought together. and
| the contents of cars or boats are un-
loaded directly into the wholesale
houses.

In recent years both New York and
