FORESTER URGES
 MORE SHADE TREES
Information To Be Given On
 Most Suitable Species

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Sept. 19.- The value and desirability of trees on residential streets, school grounds and in parks is becoming generally appre- ciated by the public, according to Ma jor Page S. Bunker, state forester.
 City and town tree planting often is delayed and handicapped, according to Major Bunker, by lack of information as to the suitability of different spe- cies for special localities and the prop CT method of planting. Such municipal forestry often is fostered by chambers of commerce, street authorities, wom- ems clubs, park commissions and school boards.
 The state commission of forestry is planning to extend active assistance and cooperation along this line, ac- cording to Major Bunker, and any civic agency requesting aid from the state commission of forestry will be given immediate assistance.
 A skilled forester has been employed by the commission to visit the towns and cities wanting information as to municipal forestry, to carry on this work and determine the kinds of trees best suited to the locality, give advice as to the sources from which they can be obtained and if desired will super wise the planting and will make subse- quent inspections of the work

But it is claimed that the citizens will raise $13,500 and more toward paying for the site.
 The Appleton company wants 400 acres and has selected a tract just out side of the city limits on the south. It is said that there is some trouble in the matter of disposing of sewerage. but that the leading men of Gunters- vile are at work in an effort to smooth out all of the difficulties.

 and after every interest that is to be effected is given a judicious hearing. E II am informed that the Alabama Farm Bureau Federation is at this

 make are not yet known, and, of course it is impossible for me to say at this time whether such recommendations will meet with my approval. but I heartily , command the effort the Federation is making to improve the revenue system of this state. It is a constructive work and in undertaking it at its own ex- pense. the Federation is deserving of

E. W, CYST MOVES
 HEADQUARTERS
Will Maintain Offices At Montgomery Instead
 Of Auburn
(State Capital Bureau.)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Sept. 2O.-F. W. Gist, agricultural statistician of the United States department of agricul- ture, moved his offices Saturday from Montgomery to Auburn. His headquar- ters have been in Montgomery for the past five years. He will be located in the same capacity at Auburn in the future.
 In announcing the move, MT. Gist stated:
 "The statistical service of the United | States department seeks to serve the interests of producers and consumrs of | farm products, of those who handle products as manufacturers, dealers, and | transporting agencies, of those who give special study to the problems of agri- culture, and of those who seek to teach and spread the economies of farming. It is to more readily and more easily serve the latter interests that the of fices' of the service in this stat are re- moved to Auburn.
 For five years past this service has co-operated closely with the state de- pertinent of agriculture. During those years the relations have not only been pleasant but profitable both for us and for the people whom we serve. On the first of last February our contract of cooperation with the state commis- sioner was renewed and extended to in clude a very close relation with the Alabama extension servic.
 To Broaden Service.
 "The regular work of determining acreage, and yield of crops; prices of far mcommodities and their movement to market and the number and value of farm animals and their products will be continued. The regular reports of the past and those. which grow out of the extension of the statistical service in the future will be given at stated intervals as heretofore. In addition, uner our agreement with both the state department and by the teachers engaged cial survys will be made of subjects of present importance to Alabama farm CTS and careful interpretations of both regular and special data will be worked out for the information and guidance of both agricultural workers and practi- cal farmers.
 Tn all phases of the work in future this office will be assisted by the field men of the extnesion service and state department and by tn tachers ngaged in vocational training in agriculture, the latter under the direction of Pro- lessor Hobdie. A special feature of the cooperative effort has been providd for in the selection by Director Dun- can of specialist in farm management in the person of M. J. Pope, who will represent the extension service directly in the economic phases of statistical survey and analysis. Equally as close contact will be maintained with the Ala bama experiment station staff, and the articles of agreement provide for the teaching of statistical method when de- sired by the college.
