LINE HIGHWAYS WITH TREES
Forestry Department Of Minnesota
Plans to Set Out $4,000 PIant1
Along Roads.

To make Minnesota famous as "the
state with the tree-lined highways" is
the object which the forestry depart
ment of that state has set out to ac-
complish. The department will plant
10000 trees along the highways this
year and each year hereafter will add
to the number What Minnesota is do
ing is also being done In Pennsylvania
and other states. Experts say If the
trees are set back far enough their
roots will not injure road pavements.
Ii was contended at one time that tree
roots and the shade cast by the
branches were detrimental TO asphalt
paving, but experience in Washington.
ID. c., and other cities, especially in
Florida. Illinois, Massachusetts and
California, has proved the falsity Of
that idea.
