BEAUTIFY YOUR HOME
RY PLANTING TREES

As Arbor day approaches, let's make
use of this day in the manner in which
it should he used. Let's beautify our
homes by setting out more trees. III
the arid west. there is a bit of excuse
for living without trees, but that does
not apply here. where trees grow 50
beautifully. We want TO enjoy life to
its full extent and beautiful trees
around our home will aid us greatly
in the attainment of this enjoyment.
\ farm home on a hill without Il
tree around it. right in the center of
Il county where God once placed his
most beautiful forests. is Il condition
which exists all through the cut-oveT
country where farms are being devel-
oped. Don't we like trees? Don't we
need wind break? If you do not ell
10y the beauty OF the protection from
trees. think Of the dollars and cents
increase in the value of your farm if
YOU have your home surrounded by Il
nice selection of trees.
What trees should | plant? Trees
that naturally grow here. EvergreenS
are no doubt very good for Il wind
break Some may like spruce. balsan.
or fir. others may like cedar or arh0r
vita better 1t is not easy, however,
to transplant evergreens and make
them grow. One may plant soft wood.
such as poplar. linden. or soft maple
for filters around the house but these
are not most satisfactory for perma-
nent grove The hard woods, maple.
elm oak and fine individual evergreens
are no doubt the best for permanent
wood lots.
What about the orchard? None Of
our farmers should be content to get
along without an orchard. An orchard
will produce as many treats for the eye
rs for the stomach. Here is list or
fruit trees suitable for our condition :

The practice of congressman, some
of them. of writing weekly letters to
the newspapers Of their district, eX-
planning what is going on in congress
and giving their views on legislation.
is "A good one we believe. Besides the
element of news in such letters. con-
stituentS may. through them. learn the
viewpoint OF their representative on
legislation in which they are inter-
eSted. 1t isn't enough to have to de-
pend entirely on newspaper CORE
SpOndentS and the Washington news
papers for our information. and very
few voters ever see the Congressional
Record" At least two Wisconsin con-
@reSsmcn write weekly letters to the
newspapers of their districts and they
are well written and are informing.
We have found these letters very III
tercstng and believe that the cOnsti-
tuents Of the congressman look eagerly
for their publication. The people
should know more of their represent
atives' attitude towards bills intro
duced into congress.
