branches are erect and form IN oblong
head. The bark is rough, dark gray
and deeply furrowed. The twigs are
smooth. with a beautiful silvery glow
about them in youth, that becomes a.
reddish brown as they grow oloer-
The leaves are from to IL lncnes
long. They are alternate, and consist
of from 8 to 10 leaflets. The silvery
down of youth gives way to pale green,
and the upper surfaces Of the leaves
are green. They are, as you know,
feathery in appearance and nave

The common or black locust has
been naturalized in New York, New
England and west of the Rocky
Mountains. 1t has its natural range
from Pennsylvania to Georgia, west
to Iowa and Oklahoma.
The tree puts forth its blossoms
from May to June, depending upon
where its home is. The flowers hang
in dropping clusters and are pea-like
in shape, white in color. They are
very fragrant.
The fruit pod-like, brown and
smooth. It has from four 10 eight
seeds in it. If the birds do not find
the pods, they hang on all Winter.
You can hear their ghostly rattling
with every breeze. and the breezes
often whip the pods off and carry
them afar.
These trees prefer gravelly soil that
is to be found on mountain slopes.
They are planted for shade and orna-
mental purposes. Whatever Is to be
said against them in old age, they
surely make up for it in youth.
After all the neighboring trees, with
the exception Of the catalpa, have
bloorned, the locust begins to take
an interest in life. The dainty leaf
spray unfurls. 1t is an exquisite sill

grant flowers appear they are a deep
beautiful green. Sometimes the flow
ers appear even to hide the leaves,
thew are SO abundant. The insects
hover in gay, busy crowds above them
The honey bees are almost working
themselves to death while the honey
flow is on.
The leaves have q dear little habit
of shutting up with every shower, and
at night. Examine a locust tree on
your next moonlight stroll and see
for yourself. 1t Is said that this is
a most clever idea of the locust tree
to save moisture.

where durable. strong wood is needed,
During the World War millions Of
tree pins were made from this wood,
for use in shipbuilding. Posts. ties,
wagon hubs, spokes and many other
things are made of this wood.
The locust borer has made such
heavy inroads that many millions of
dollars have been lost through its
activity. The wood is riddled. even
to the twigs, and to date there has
not been effective means developed
to curb the progress of these pests
For this reason the cultivation of the
locust has had to be abandoned in
many regions. 1t is said that the
locust trees in Europe are not troubled
by this enemy.
