APRIL 17, 19(3 MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON Trees Reduce Heat and Fuel Costs While Increasing Shade When the sun beats down in the hot weather months, everyone longs for cooling shade. Shade trees provide the difference between comfort and solar broiling. Trees, according to the American Association of Nur serymen are natural air-conditioners. They transfer the layer of greatest heat from near the surface of the ground to the tree tops. There may be a difference of five to fifteen degrees between a full-sun and a shaded area, depending on the density of the shade. In residential areas, witli good stands of trees, temp eratures arc up to 10 degrees lower than in areas without trees in hot weather There are many species of trees. In order to get adequate shade, one usually needs large trees, which can be planted at some distance from the house and still shade it dur ing the hottest part of the day, usually in the afternoon.

For comfort in garden liv ing and entertainment shade trees arc a necessity. Nursery men will advise on trees that are "clean" i.e. they do not drop seeds, pods, flowers, stems, etc., that tend to make the garden living room messy. Usually when most home owners think of shade trees, they think of the maples, lin dens, planes, magnolias, elms, and similar trees. There are many other species, less well known but which have inter est for many reasons, such as foliage color, bark color, structure of limbs and twigs or flowering beauty. Cost Small More than 850 different va rieties of trees grow within the United Stales. Most can be planted at little cost.
