one of the most flourishing agricultural districts
of the world
Wayne countys interest in this highway is
of paramount importance in Indiana. Much OF
its early prosperity can be traced to this high
way. Many of its leading men were born In
home on or near the historic old path.
Morton's home in Centerville Gen. Sol. Mere
dith's home in Cambridge City, and the old
wooden bridge across the Whitewater river in
this city, are a few of the historic structures
about which tradition clings and which still are
fresh in the minds of the present generation
It's Importance can be viewed from another
angle which should appeal to all of US. 1t is one
of the stately highways that will lend itself adj
mirably to becoming a tree-lined memorial to the
men who fought in the World war;
Other communities already have planted
thousands of trees along important highways as
a living memorial to the men of the last great
conflict If the National road between the Ohio
line and the western boundary were lined with
trees, they would express forciby not only the
appreciation of this community for the historical
importance of the roadway, but also proclaim for
generations to come that this generation remem-
Ibered the sons who served in the World war.

Professor c. o. Houghton has re-
Gently been appointed collaboration of
the Bureau of Entomology, U. S. De-

ware and asked to assume charge of
the insect pest survey. Competent
observers will be selected in various
parts of the State who will make OBJ
servations and forward specimens of
injurious insects to Professor Hough-
ton who will transmit monthly reports
to Washington.
This survey as planned by the

Of the country.
1t is hoped thereby to secure and
disseminate much valuable informa-

principal insect pests.
The work in Delaware although re-

interfere with Professor Houghton's
work at the University.
