INSURE PROPER CARE
FOR MEMORIAL TREES
SAYS MRS. A. ROACH

Tree planting in memory of soldiers,
sailors and marines who served dur
ing the World war is endorsed by Mrs.
A. w. Roach, president of the Service
Star unit, auxiliary to the local Amer
lean legion post. Mrs. Roach, how
ever, looks past the planting cere-
mony, and urges that provision be
made for tending them.
Il heartily approve of the plan il
the right kind of trees are planted and
then proper care be given them.
Everyone knows that a dead tree is
not fit memorial for any one, SO
would like to see some provision made
toward their perpetuation.
while l was president of the ma.
tional organization of the Service Star
legion, which was at that time COM
posed of II different bodies, we be-
gan planting trees as memorials in
the fall of 1919. At Druid Hill, Balti-
more, Md, there was a tree planted
for the ex-service boys of each state.
Speeches were made on that occasion
by the governor of Maryland, and by
Cardinal Gibbons.
"1f trees are planted along our ma
tlonal highways as memorials, it
should be arranged that should any
die. that 1t be removed without delay,
and another tree planted in its place
With these matters taken care of, l
believe the plan an excellent one"
Erroneous Belief.
The old feeling that dirt roads do
rot dry If trees are planted beside
them is erroneous,' states a prominent
Illinois forester. The wind dries the
roads more than the sun does. The
trees along the highways should be
trained high, then there will not be an
Over-amount of shade. I think there
can be no better tree than the walnut
for this part Of the country. They
grow high and there Is that added at
traction that people going INTO the
country can stop and gather nuts. Wal.
nut trees in q yard or nursery are
what might be called messy, but there
is nothing finer on roads
Trees Do Not Cut Crops.
Farmers. you find, complain that
trees shade the soil. Now, here is a
practical experiment that shows they
are wrong in any objection they make.
farmer in Iowa claimed not long
of his corn. He removed them It was
actually shown that allowing for the
few rows that were too well shaded the
land bore more to the acre when the
trees had been there. than it bore with
out them. Without trees agriculture is
a failure.
