high freight rates prices have adj
vanced nearly 80 per cent cent this
year.
Trees Most Suitable
According to Dean. trees most
suitable for Christmas are Norway
spruce, white spruce, balsam fir and
Douglas fir, with preference being
given the Norway spruce. The Nor
way spruce lends itself admirably to
Indiana soil and climate.
It grows best on a fairly deep,
well drained, porous soil with fair
amount Of moisture. Planted on SAND
and foliage tends to become yellow
ish. but a greenish color may be re-
stored by top dressing the soil with
manure.
In starting plantation, strong
transplants are best, with four-year-
old transplants six to twelve inches
high preferable. They should be
planted with a regular spacing OF
four feet by four feet, requiring
2,72O trees per acre. Spring is the
best time time to plant.
Occasional cultivation for two
years after planting is advisable, aft
err which the trees will care for
themselves admirably. After seven

years, trees will have an average
height over five feet and are ready
for market.
Estimating that these trees would
be raised on land unsuited for agri-
culture, Dean says it is both posi-
Bile and financially practical for Indi-
ana to grow it's own Christmas trees,
because at the end of seven years
when trees could be marketed, 1t is
possible to realize several hundred
dollars an acre off land which other
wise probably would be idle.

transplants costing $40 a thousand,

an acre. Add a delivery charge of
SOS. Land preparation and planting
costs should not exceed $50 an acre.
Allow nothing for cultivation-as
this should be done In spare time.
Figure loss Of 10 per cent of the
trees. Allow per cent compound
interest on the money invested. If
the trees are harvested at the end
of seven years and sold at 30 cents

the prediction of Maj. William +. r.
Covell, Assistant Engineer Commits
sioner, made last night before the
members of the Takoma Park Citi-
zens' Association in the Takoma
Public Library. He prefaced his pre-
diction by an extended review of the
various public utilities in operation in
the District of Columbia.
After briefly outlining the duties of
the members of the Public Utilities
Comission he discussed some of the
matters now receiving the attention
of the commission. In connection with
the gas companies the commission

panieS combined and in securing eX
tensions in the outlying sections. He
referred TO a bill providing for the
merger of the two companies. which
if accomplished would DO much to i'm

down the overhead. Such a bill has
been presented Ia the District Com
missionerS and approved and within
few days will be presented to Con-

right direction and would prove of
great benefit not only to the public
but TO the taxi companies.
FayOrs Bus Terminal.

slrous of securing authority to have
complete jurisdiction over interstate
bus lines, administering the laws and
regulations of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The prospects of
a bus terminal We're bright he con
tinued. and if the bill to be presented
TO Congress is passed it will mean

the event of its failure of passage, he
said. bus terminal should he con
structed just the same. He said that
the interstate bus lines should not eX-
peCt the District to set aside part of
the city for their use. but they will be
allowed ample space to load and I'M
load passengers, but not on the public
streets.
In referring to the telephone Situa-
ton, he informed his auditors that the

ard reckless driving as follows:

bill differs slightly from the measure
of Representative Banton in the
House. In addition to STIMULATING -
motor cycle policemen for the Traffic
Bureau, the Senate bill provides for
% foot priVates for that bureau.
The clause relating to reporting &C
cidents was changed in the Senate bill
to require that accidents be reported
