IRON \oRE USED IN LOUISIANA
ROADS

Iron orc, found in northwestern
Louisiana, has proven of great value
in road building in that state and,
in some localities where it has been
used, has effected saving OF $4,000
to $4,000 4 mile in the cost of con-
struction. Highway engineers in
Louisiana have been using the ore as
q binder instead of sand clay, and
have found it far superior to that
material in many instances. Dur
ing 1922 the Louisiana State High
way Department completed $50
miles of new roads. Most of this
mileage consists of gravel. The re-
main,!cr consists of roads built of
shells, sheet asphalt or bitulithic.
The 1928 program includes "a larger
amount Of asphaltic construction.
Iron ore was first used in De Soto
Parish. La, in 1917. Then Il large
deposit was found northwest of
Arcadia Ore from this deposit is be-
ing used as a base course on the new
Homer Minden Highway. the Ar
cadia- Natchitoches Highway. the
RuSton- Arkansas Highway and the
pcrshing Highway. The state pays
about ten cents yard in royalties for
this material against 81 yard on
sand clay gravel. The saving Of
fectod amounts to about $3.50 a
ward.

; Plant Trees to
. Protect Roads
In PENNSYLVANIA

The states of Pennsylvania and
Minnesota this year plan to en-
courage the planting of shade trees
along their paved highways in I'M
prccCdontod fashion. Thirty thousand
trees, it is declared. will he used for
this purpose in Minnesota alone.
.Onc objection heretofore to shade
trees at the roadside has been that
the roads did not dry out readily
after rains. but that mudholes lin
sercd Since road building. accord
ing to more modern methods, has
been so generally adopted, this argu-
mcnt is no longer good.
Thousands of miles Of asphalt
pavement have been laid in states be-
tween Florida and Nebraska and, at
first, objection was made to tree
planting along such roads on the
ground that the tree roots would up
lift or crack the surface. AS this
rarely happens in city streets, no
good reason is evident why it should
in fact, those who have experimental
say if the trees are set far enough
back no i'll result whatever follows.
Much would depend, of course, on
the character of the trce,-whether
or not it had tap rood or spread
ing surface roots. An intelligent per-
son would hardly recommend the
planting of a beech tree near any
pavement.
1t has been realized that paved
roads radiate a heat on summer
days that dirt and gravel roads do
not and that wayside trees, always
welcome to summer travellers not
only for their cooling shade but
for their softening Of highway
glare. are especially desirable with
the new pavcments. Trees grow
slowly and the progress of plant
ing will keep pace only with
the public sentiment in its
favor, so that at best it will be many
years before our transcontnental and
state roads will be the shaded thor
oughfarcs that they may become.
The time will doubtless arrive, how
ever, when American country roads
will rival in beauty city streets that
are lined with trees.
