QUESTION OF TREE PLANTING
Problem Is Worthy OF Wy Much
More Consideration Than is Us

What kind Of tree shoulc one plant

grower. Also II should be ornamental.
Preferably II should give shade that
, Is lofty and not too dense. A produc-
tive tree will answer rs well as one
that is merely Ornamental. II grated
tree Is planted rather than q Seeding
II will produce In very few years.
Nut trees are both ornamental and
productive. The black walnut and the
pecan seem to Ice well suited to this
sort of planting. Why not try one or
the other, or possibly both, one on
each side OF the house?
The black walnut Is rapid grower,
reaches large size, and has foliage of
great beauty A mature tree will pro-
duce great quantity of nuts. The
pecan is also large and beautiful. as
well as long-lived. Among the most
beautiful and stately of the trees al
Mount Vernon are pecan trees planted
by George Washington and still In ex-
cellent condition. Commonly one
thinks of the pecan as q tree for warm
= ATTITUDES only. Both 1t and the Eng
fish walnut will thrive much farther
north than is commonly supposed For
planting near the house, then, the
black walnut. the pecan or good
shagbark tree would be an excellent
choice. The foliage of the walnut is
always beautiful and in the fall the
leaves of both the hickory and the pc
can are symphonies in brown.

GOOD ROADS AID PROSPERITY
Instance Cited Of Virginia Community
Where Great Progress Has Been
Accomplished.

That good roads are closely related
to prosperity there is no question OF
doubt. Only few years ago this
section OF Virginia had but one macad-
am road, one creamery, which went
to the wall, and mere HANDFUL OF
purc-brcd dairy cattle, writes @. 9.
Conger. Jr.. of Virginia In the Practi
cal Farmer One not familiar with
the many blessings good roads bring
about might wonder In what way good
roads would affect creamerles and
pure-bred cows. Let us take. for in
stance, Rockingham county, and see
just what good roads did In this sec-
ton In the dairy business alone, TO
say nothing OF the prosperity good
roads brought about In various other
ways. Previous to our good roads the
one creamery did some business dur.
ing the summer months, when the dirt
roads were at their best. but business
dwindled to nothing during the winter
months because farmers could not get
over the roads TO deliver their milk.
The creamery finally closed down for
the lack of milk. About this time q
mere handful of progressive farmers
began n movement for better roads
calling meeting nj little village
centrally located In the county. The
attendance was good, and great deal
Of good roads" enthusiasm was
aroused. II was the first step In bet
ter roads that gained impetus by leaps
and bounds. Today, In few short
years, we have network of fine mac.
adam roads throughout the entire
county. Following good roads came
creameries. They sprang up over night
like mushrooms. till today the county
Is dotted with creameries, the sight OF
which does not look much like clos.

why he disposed of his scrub cows, re.

Advantages Of City Planning.

"City planning is merely a common
sense set of rules and regulations for
the city's growth" declares Charles
A. Favrot, an ardent advocate Of the
proposed CITY Planning Commits
sion."
"A city plan shows where homes
should be built, where Industries
should be located, and how traffic
should be regulated SO as to carry
people from one part of the city TO
another with the minimum delay,
while at the same time protecting the
citys paving and the lives of its chill
dren."

it Is SO. And there appears 10 be
ground for the statement that within
a few years Buffalo Bits grave will
be the most-visited grave in the world.
This Is the way of it: The city and
county of Denver lave established the
Denver Mountain parks, lying between
the city and the peaks of the CONT
mental divide. There are 1926 acres I;
the cost has been $477, $50; there are
30 miles of roads. Lookout Mountain
Is one of the scenic features of these
parks. The main automobile road, of
which the Larlat trail is part, climbs
to its summit. Buffalo Bits grave Is
on the east slope of Lookout Noun
tain, and Is easily reached by q road
that turns out at the Golden reservoir
on the summit. Close by the grave
the city has established d Buffalo Bill
museum. In the summer of 1921 ap-
proxlmately 10000 visitors entered
the gates of the Denver Mountain
parks. OF these visitors about one
quarter was from other states. Most
of these out-of-the-state visitors
stopped to see the grave and the mu-
scum. SO mu,h for the present.
The tourist business of the scenic
West Is increasing tremendously year
by year. Denver Is geographically the
gateway TO this scenic West with It's
twelve national parks and thirty two
national monuments. IL Is the staI ting
point of the National Park to- Park
highway. Most visitors to Denver I'm
the summer drive through the Denver
Mountain parks. SO, as the tourists
grow in numbers, the visitors to Buff
