Future Bright
For u. S. Trees

Despite the inroads of Dutch
elm disease and other maladies,
more and more street trees will
grow in our communities within
the next half century, tree ex-
pert predicts.
The trend will be towards plant
ing street trees better adapted to
narrow confines and more resist
ant to disease and insect enemies,
according to NJ. w. Staples, field
supervisor of the Davey Tree Ex-
pert Co. In the normal course of
events, these undoubtedly will be
smaller and easier to keep in
bounds where overhead power and
telephone lines are a problem.
Even with private grounds, plant
sizes are changing along with the
trend toward smaller homes. The
passing years will bring more and
better dwarfs for borders and
foundation paintings Shrubs and
eVergreens are being specifically
developed to harmonic with to-
days smaller places.
There are vogues in landscaping
just as thre are in interior decor
alton. During the past 50 years,
Mr.. Staples points out, the in
crease in evergreen planting has
been nothing short of Phenomenal.
Before that, landscapes were al
most exclusively made up of de-
ciduous trees and shrubs, with
only a few of the larger ever
green's receiving popular attention.
Some plants now threatened
with extinction may be saved by
the breeding of new disease-re-
sistant varieties or by the develop
ment of new chemical controls.
Undoubtedly, there is great AM
erican appreciation of outdoor
beauties, which will be even more
intensive within the next few de-
cades. Mr.. Staples concludes.

Land Values In
Drop During 1949

Dollar values of farm land in the
United States, though still about
double the 1859 average, con-
tinued to decline during the 4
months ending November l.
This report from the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics, u. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, says
moderate declines occurred in all
but five states. No increases were
reported. Land values for the
country as whole are 3 percent
below July and 6 percent below
the high peak reached a year ago.
Largest declines since July were
in the Pacific states, where values
were down 6 percent, and in the
East South Central states, where
values were down percent. In
Ohio, there was a decrease Of 2
percent during the 4-month period.
Number of farms changing
hands continues to decline. During
the peak year of farm sales, 1876
AZ, So out of every 1000 farm
changed hands. In 1947 7-4S, the rate
dropped to AZ per 1000. During
the year ending in March, 1949,
only Al farms per thousand were
sold.
Prices asked for land tend to
continue high and buyers are in
clined to delay purchases, hoping
for bigger declines in asking
prices than have yet occurred.

II Freezing Weather Due Tonight,
But Won't Hurt Cherry Trees

Freezing weather will grip
Washington tonight. but National
Capital Parks experts expressed
confidence that the blooming Jap

cautiously, it is too early for q
definite Easter forecast.

in full bloom, are hardy and have

Tomorrow will be a pretty day
with sunny skies and the tenpera-
ture lowering between SIS and 6O
degrees, the forecaster said. To-
morrow night the temperature
will drop to 38 degrees and that
will be the end of the cold wave

The return of warm weather is
likely to be accompanied by show
ers, the forecaster said.
George w. Harding, chief horti-
culturist of the National Capital
Parks Office, said the remaining
blooms on the tulip magnolia trees
may be damaged by the freezing
