PLANT BLACK WALNUT TREES
Particularly Adapted for Public Parks,

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricuitute,)
The war demand drew heavily upon
the black-walnut timber supply. The
condition became alarming, as 1t was
recognized that unless there should
be a decrease In the cutting, the mer-
chantable trees would soon be gone.
Fortunately, however, the war ended
before the larger trees entirely disap-
peared. Now a reaction is setting In.
Black walnuts are being planted In
small numbers by many persons, direct
ly in harmony with the policy advo-
Gated by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.
A conspicuous instance Of planting
occurred near Saginaw, Mich. Last
fall. w. S. Linton, president of the
Northern Nut Growers association.
procured 80 bushels Of walnuts from
trees at the home of George Washing
ton at Mount Vernon, Va. These were
shipped to Saginaw and In the main
distributed among the school children
Of the county and planted, two In a
hill, on school grounds and along pub
Tic roads and streets. Two thousand
we're placed in nursery for later
transplanting in one Of the public
parks of Saginaw.
When II became known that these
nuts were available for planting, very
teen and widespread interest in them
developed. Telephone calls for them
we're numerous. Automobilists drove
for many miles to call In person. Since
then, enthusiastically attended meet
lngs have been held In various places
In the state to consider the question
Of black walnut tree planting along
the highways. The suggestion is made
that In view Of the known differences
Of hardness existing in many species
Of native trees, special care should be
exercised to avoid extensive planting
Of nuts or trees from the warmer por-
tiops Of the country In sections where
aestructively low temperatures are oc-
rasionally experienced.
Doubtless the safest rule to observe
In the North is to plant nuts from
trees that have attained good size and

cerned.
The suitability of the black walnut
for home planting Is now being recog-
nized as never before. That 1t is one
of our most valuable American trees
and that its numbers have steadily
been decreasing has long been real
ized. To a considerable extent thi-
tree was planted on the western prair-
les by the first settlers In compliance
with the timber and stone act, repealed
In the late eighties, which required
that trees be planted in proportion
to land taken up from the government.
Some planting has been going on in
states and districts beyond the range
to which the species is indigenous.
Even now the forest service of the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture does not advise Its planting in
pure stands on land from which in
come is necessary during the lifetime
of the average planter, as no returns
in timber are probable under at least
35 or 40 years from the time of plant
ing.
Department experts recommend that
the walnut be included among the
species for planting in public parks,
on large. private lawns and dooryards,
along highways, and In out-of-the-way
places on the farm. 1t is invariably

such trees that produce the greatest

Wire DEFECTS
CAUSE TROUBLE
Welfare Of Automobile Depends
to Large Extent on Good
Wiring.
NEEDS CAREFUL ATTENTION
Owners Should FamiIiarize Them
selves With Electric System Of
Their Cars-Dim Lights Are
Warning OF Trouble.

The wiring of an automobile is Its
venous system and owners ought to
familiarize themselves with the trou-
bles that poor wiring brings about.
A great many Of the complaints ST.
lently borne by the storage battery,
the generator starting motor, and
lamps are largely traceable to the
wiring between these units.
The first thing to do when the
lights grow dim and the starter Is
weak is to test the battery solution,
and If its gravity is 1880 or better
then the battery is all right. Since
the battery feeds at speeds usually be-
low 10 miles an hour and the genera
tor takes the whole load above that
speed, If the lights are dim below 15
miles an hour suspect the wiring; the
feed out of the battery, IN other
words.
Due to Bad Connections.
Prayed Insulation at the terminals
often allows n strand Of wire to get
loose and touch another wire or con-
tact point, and you Immediately notice
slight irregularity In ignition or
lighting. In the average car the cleo
trical connections are in bad place
behind the instrument board-and you
must either remove the board or fuss
underneath and take chance on try
ing to feel the trouble. The charg-
Ing current travels through the am
sc ha
nection at the meter opens the circuit
and the guardian Of the whole system
is put to sleep, which means you don't
know whether the battery Is getting
food or not.
A car is driven over all sorts Of
roads in all kinds Of weather, and nat
urally water and dirt will get onto
the parts. The wiring housed In a
frame channel or on the engine side Of
the dash is not excepted. On a rainy
day the fan draft carries water into
the engine compartment and the wires
and cables get their share. Continue
this for many months and the cables
soon soak up enough moisture TO keep
them constantly wet, hence giving con-
tinual trouble.
Should Be Protected.
In order that current flow be free
and uninterrupted, 1t is necessary that
the wires be properly protected and
that the terminals be clean and Sc

low of the full measure Of current
flowing all the time.
One loose ignition wire can upset
the operation of the engine. one badly
corroded terminal might stop the en-
gine, prevent the starter from operat-
ing and the lights from burning.
The electrical wiring In your home
rarely gives any trouble because 1t is
well protected.
In the automobile much of the wir-
ing is not so protected, but the owner
can get equally good results by pro-
viding substantial coverings for each
cable and terminal SO as to exclude
the trouble makers-water and dirt.

LINKING VILLAGE AND FARM.

During the World war, on the eve of
the drive to raise the United War Work
fund, Vermont village arranged a pa
triotic program of impressive character.
One of the features was parade. 1t
was carefully planned and no effort was
spared apparently to make it an unquali-
fed success. 1t was interesting to note,
however, that while the men and women
and children of the village participated
in the activities and entered enthusiasts
tically into the spirit of the occasion, the
people from the nearby countryside who
had assembled at different vantage points
played no part in the order of the day.
This was not their affair. On the fol-
lowing day, however solicitors were sent
through the rural districts from which
these people came in the attempt to
raise that portion of the towns quota
which ought to come from outside the
village limits. Carefully planned as
was this event no recognition was made
Of the important fact that the way to
interest people is to let them in on the
plan.
Failure to observe this principle is at
the root of most of the misunderstand-
ings which exist between village and
countryside today. Petty jealousies pre-
vent these areas from being welded into
an inseparable economic unit The most
careless observer must be conscious OF
the fact that the Vermont village is the
natural trading center for the adjacent
farming territory AS such, the village
merchant should strive to win and retain
the friendship of the farmer. Failure SC
to do means little short of n deliberate
attempt to drive his trade to the mail
order house. Oh the other hand, III,
rural area should look to the village M
it's social center--thc place where civic
ideals must be generated and developed
In the average Vermont community
there are many organizations composed
Of men and women who are really eager
to do something to promote the public
welfare. But there is no team work on
the part of these groups. Progress
is stayed by duplication Of effort. The
waste Of energy is appalling. The jeal-
ousies are pathetic. No one can expect
much success to come to that football
team, composed of individually brilliant
players. which goes upon the gridiron in
September each man bent upon playing
the game for his own glorifcation. That
team merits greater confidence which,
although made up of men of mediocre
ability, is permeated with the spirit of
team play-each player ready to forget
self and fight for the fair name of his
alma mater
so it is with communities Team work
is all-important. That town will pros
per most, whatever its natural handicap
may be. which dispels antagonsm be-
tween village and countryside and recog-
nizes the fact that local patriotism il
best engendered through visualizing the
possibilities of cooperation. In any
plan of town bctterment it must never
be forgotten that the country crossroads
deserves attention quite as much as does
the village common. We will do well
to remember that the man living at the
four corners in the hills is as much n
citizen as the president Of the village
corporation.

The tossing of banana peel by a mo-

the Williamstown Gulf road the other
day, was an act of thoughtlessness which
might have brought much more serious
results had the bank been sleeper or the
brook deeper. The flying object struck
tie driver of the car in the face causing
her to suddenly twist the steering wheel
just enough to send the car over bank
into a brook. The banana peel pitcher
should be mighty thankful that the oc-
