Tree Planting By
Community Effort
Greatly Enhances Looks
and Comfort of Roads.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Suitable tree planting along public
highways, which greatly enhances
their appearance and comfort, is most
satisfactorily done by the community
as whole rather than by individuals,
says the United States Department Of
Agriculture. Interest in country high
ways in the United States has in
creased rapidly during the last few
years. The greater interest in rural
roads is due largely to the growing
automobile traffic. a large part Of
which is pleasure driving in which the
most beautiful routes are naturally
sought.
While few states have good laws
providing for such planting, the re-
mainder have either Indifferent ones
or none at all, according to Farmers
Bulletin 14S1-F, planting the Road
side.", just issued.
The travelling public has as much
interest in the appearance Of the road
as whole as the adjoining property
holder. Furthermore, it is usually
difficult to get each property holder
to approve and act on given plan.
For these reasons, says the depart
ment, it is best to place the planting
and subsequent care Of roadside trees
in the hands Of public body repre-
senting some such division as the
state, county, town, township or par
ish, rather than smaller units.
Because of the intimate relation
ship between road construction and
maintenance and the upkeep of the
roadside, the closest cooperation be-
tween the highway department and
those having the trees in charge is
needed.
Suggestions relative to planning for
the trees. planting and spacing them,
kinds to plant, pruning, arrangement
of shrubs and perennials, and other
phases of the work are given.

The/ hogs are tattooed by tapping
them on the back with an instrument
containing marker made of pliono-

Big Gasser In Guernsey
County

Gas fields, said to be among the
largest east of the Mississippi river.
are being developed near New Con-
cord and Cambridge, according to
experts who have made surveys of
the property and they have sup
ply large enough for this vicinity
for the next 40 years. There are 80
producing wells in an area of 20
miles in the vicinity of New Con-
cord. Practically the entire extent
Of the new field is now controlled by
the Ohio Gas Co. and the Ohio Oil
Co. subsidiary of Findlay, and the
wells are producing millions of feet
Of gas per day, it is declared. How
ever several Marietta parties %.

interested in the same field.
1t is said that the average rock
pressure of the wells so far drilled
in has been between 1900 and 400
pounds. and this pressure exceeds
the pressure of the wells in the
West Virginia field when they were
brought in 80 years ago, These
West Virginia wells have been sup
plying the gas for three states for
some 80 years and at present show
a rock pressure of $50 pounds. The
gas in this territory is being struck
at depth of about $500 feet.
