The Good Roads Association of
Michigan will hold conference and
round up of good roads and forestry
officials and others interested at Flint.
Mich, August 80 to September /.
Most of the program will be devotedt
to highway engineering matters, but
the nut specialist of the Unitetd
States Department of Agriculture will
lead in a very important discussion
about trees for roadside planting.
Much interest is manifested in Michi-
gan in planting trees along the high
ways, and nut-bearing trees are be-
ing advocated for this purpose. Last
year 30 bushels of black walnuts were
procured from Washington's old home
at Mount Vernon and distributed for
planting along the highways. Because
OF its very high value for timber and
rapid growth in regions to which it is
adapted, as well as the high quality of
its nuts, the black walnut is adyocat-
ed for this purpose.
