Two Klndi Which Differ Widely and
Each of Which Is Worthy of
Careful Consideration.
For muny yours It lins been a cus
tom with most people to plant trees
Without regard to the ultimate pur
liose they would serve. Little thought
lias been given as to the most fiultnblo
varieties for planting, or that there
Blight be sections along the roadway
Where It would be of advantage to cut
line existing trees, and In this way
pnake the roadside scenery more In
teresting and attractive. A closer
istutly of the problem, however, shows
fttint we have two distinct types of
rondslile scenery. The (Irst may be
aid to lie whore the trees, shrubs,
ImlldlngH, mill other object rt thut bor
der the highway form the element of
Itho picture, with the roadway as a
rentral feature. Many places along the
oadsldo have no Inducements what
ever as to special attractiveness, and,
Jn fact, the scenery may be of a de
cidedly monotonous character. It Is In
isnch a place that we may fool at 11b
trty to plant according to the so-called
iclosed typo.
The second type can lie nsoil whore
jthe wide meadows, fields, anil distant
landscapp compose the picture, with
the roadside trees as frames. Exnm
Jiles of this type may lie found In many
Sections of the state, where beautiful
(vistas could he enhanced by the pres
ence of suitable shade tree. In many
leases, trees along the highway form
screens so as to break up the long
treti'lies of views along openings hero

Gardens Profitable This Year.
, The home garden Is likely to prove
a profitable Investment of effort this
year as it lias for the past several
seasons, In the opinion of the United
States department of agriculture. The
experience of the past few years has
proved that persons who have suffi
cient land and spare time, and who
;do their home gardening work intelli
gently and efficiently, find It profitable.
iThe relatively high prices of practi
cally all foodstuffs tend to increase the
saving effected, but the home garden
should be planned with a view to
nieetlng the family needs rather than
of producing crops for sale on the
! market.

to learn that with the exception of a
few miles near New Orleans, which
antedated It about a week, this line
from Lexington to Frankfort Is the
oldest railroad In the United States
south of the Ohio and west of the

very early In railroad history, when
we remember that the first railroad
in the United States was built In 1826,
and the first locomotive engine was
operated In 1829."

Twenty thousand motor trucks
have been turned over by the War
Department to the Department of
Agriculture to be distributed to state
highway departments for use in road
building. They range in capacity
from two to five tons, and have a
Value of more than $45,000,000.
All that the states must do to ac
quire these trucks is to pay the load
ing and freight charges and must
agree to use them on road construc
tion in whole or in part under Feder
al aid, for whic'h $200,000,000 was
recently appropriated by Congress.
The trucks were declared surplus
by the War Department and being
no longer needed for war uses, for
which they were bought, it has been
determined to divert them to peace
purposes and at the same time ex
tend the aid the Federal government
is: giving the states in highway con
struction. The motors will be al
lotted to states only on request of
highway departments in accordance
with the apportionment provided in
the Federal aid law approved In
1919. .Under the law, there can be
no distribution to- counties or indi
vldauls, but only to the states.
