Trees Public Property.

The pioneers planted forest or
shade trees when there was scarcely
an argument for their planting when
they were hemmed In and surrounded
by virgin forest, writes G. F. Bley In
the American Forestry Magazine OF
Washington. Today we are enjoying
the fruits Of their devotion, wisdom
and forethought. Shall we do less
when there is so much more need-for
the rising generations and for those
vet unborn? Not every husbandman
has appreciated the value Of shade
trees, witness the ruthless cutting
down and making into cordwood Of
whole lines Of noble, stalwart sugar
naples! A legal enactment in every
state providing that every tree nov
or hereafter standing within the lega
road boundary shall be considered
public property Is suggested.
