Among the plans to beautify it's property here the Wisconsin Ala bama Lumber company has set apart plot of ground near the WaJco school to be used as community garden. This ground has been plowed and laid off in sections which are being assigned to employees of the company who care to use them.
 The company has requested the people in Walco to use these gardens exclusively and discontinue planting vegetables in the rear of their homes. The yards and grounds around the homes will soon be filled in and planted in grass and flowers, thus making Walco a much prettier place in which to live. Hedges and many shade trees have just been set out over the residential section. Walco has been one of the beauty spots of the Sylacauga district ever since the large lumber mill was con- structed there a few years ago, and no doubt under the present plan it will become the prettiest section of this community.
