ROADS IN NATIONAL FORESTS
Federal Bill Appropriates $1,000,000
for Construction and Mainten
ance of Highways.
(From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
One of the provisions of the- federal
aid road bill, which was signed by the
president on July ll, appropriates
$1,000,000 a year for ten years to be
spent by the secretary of agriculture
for the construction and maintenance
of roads and trails within or partly
within the national forests.
The bill provides that, upon request
of the proper officers of the state or
-counties, the money shall be nsed for
building roads and trails which are
necessary for the nse and development
of resources upon which communities
within or near the national forests are
dependent. The work is to be done in
.co-operation with the various states
and counties. Not more than 10 per

kent of the value of the timber and
forage resources of the national for
jests within the respective county or
counties in whLu the roads or trails
twill be constructed may be spent,
{provision is made for the return of
jthe money to the treasury by applying
OLO per cent of the annual receipts of
[the national forests in the state or
Bounty until the amount advanced is
jcovered.
' Officers in charge say that the bill
n^ll make possible the construction of
!many roads which are greatly needed.
Since 1013 10 per cent of the receipts
from the national forests have been
used in road and trail building, but the
funds have been inadequate to meet
the needs. Many isolated communities
"within the national forests are entire
ly dependent on the government roads
and trails. In some instances these
settlements are said to be almost en
tirely without means of communica
tion. According to forest service of
ficials the money now made available
will permit the construction of many
roads necessary to open up inacces
sible territory, and will greatly facili
tate the development of large areas.
It is said that detailed plans cov
ering the policy to be followed in
/ building roads are now being made. I
PROPOSE NEV; PARK HIGHWAY j
?Good Roads Advocates W6uld Con- |
nect National Parks of West- J
Calls for $1,000,000.
Good roads advocates have pro
posed a great circular highway which
?would connect the national parks of
the "West. The venture would call :
for 51,000,000 from congress, besides
assistance from the good-roads experts
?of the department of agriculture. The
proposed route would, start at Denver
.and run northwest, through the new
Kocky Mountain National park, and
enter Yellowstone by way of Cody,
"Wyo. Thence it would continue
through Idaho, Washington, and Ore
gon. To the west the road would-in
clude Yosemite and other wonders c-T
.California. To the south it would
cross Arizona and New Mexico, then
rwould run northward to Denver. Al
ready the route is marked hy many
sections of good roads, so the pro- j
posed project is not such a gigantic
task as it might be. The entire route ,
is 3,500 miles in length.

FALL PRUNING APPLE HINTS
Dead or Dying Limb Evaporates Large
Quantities of Moisture From
Tree-Cut Them Off.
Dead and dying limbs should be
pruned out close to the tree and the
wounds painted. Many people sup
pose that once a limb on a tree is dead
that it dries out and does no essential
harm. As a matter of fact a dead or
dying limb evaporates large quantities
of moisture from the tree. Cutting off
a dead limb and painting the wound
saves a large quantity of moisture for
the remaining living limbs, leaves and
fruit.
Canker wounds or sun-scald areas
where the growing limb beneath the
bark has died ought to be scraped
clean up to a layer of healthy grow
ing tissue and the wound painted.
Cleaning and painting these wounds
will destroy many insects' which are
sheltered behind the shelly bark of the
wound, which feed on the growing
layer and prevent it from healing over
the wound, and the painting will save j
loss of water from the dead and I
spongy wood.
Water sprouts and surplus limbs not
needed by the tree ought to be pruned
out now. AH wounds more than half
an Inch In diameter made in pruning
should be pnlnted with common paint
to save evaporation from the wound,
F0LL0W-W0RK IN ORCHARDS
According to Pomologists, lt Is Essen
tial to Gather Up and Burn
All Branches Cut.
It ls as essential to do the following
work after the pruning has been done,
as lt is to do the pruning, according
to pomologists. The following sugges
tions are well to follow after the prun
ing is done:
L Gather np and remove from the'
orchard all branches and twigs that
have been cut off. Burn them. They
afford homes for the diseases and the
Insects that will attack your trees if
the rubbish ls left on the ground.
2. Cover the wounds with a coat of
good lead paint. This helps to keep
out the water and prevent disease or
decay. y
3. Spray the trees with a solution
of one gallon commercial lime-sulphur
to eight gallons of water. Spraying
just after pruning reduces the cost of
applying the material as there is less
brush to cover than at other times.

Pine Tree Lizard Devours Many In
jurious Species of Insects-Makes
Attractive Pet.
The food of the pine tree lizard
consists largely of snails, snow bugs,
spiders and insects of at least sis dif
ferent orders. Many injurious species
of insects are eaten. This lizard? Is
an interesting species and one which
ls said to make an attractive pet. It
submits to being handled and thrives
in captivity if kept in a dry place with
plenty of sunshine. It has been stated
Pine Tree Lizard.
by authorities that these little animals
may be utilized to advantage by the
grower of tree fruits. A lizard in each
tree is said to prevent insect injury
very largely and in addition to this
cause hesitation on the part of the
would-be trespasser, especially one of
a superstitious turn of mind.
PROPER TIME FOR PLANTING
In Localities Where Winters Are Cold
and Dry Spring Practice ls Most
Satisfactory.
There are many opinions regarding
the compart)tive values of fall and
spring planting of fruit trees. There
are many advocates of each practice
and each has substantial reasons for
his opinion.
When all reasons'are taken into con/
sideration, it results in the discovery
that in sections where the winters
are open and mild, fall planting is by
far more satisfactory than spring
planting. But in localities where the
winters are cold and dry, spring is the
more satisfactory time for setting out
i?n orchard.
TRIM RED RASPBERRY BUSH
Plant Nipped Back Bears Fruit Where
Nipping ls Done-Work Mu?t Not

A red raspberry plant nipped back
bears its fruit Just below where the
nipping ls done and on the short
branches that spring out from the
lattin stem.
But if allowed to run wild'it soon
exhausts Itself in producing cane, and
only bears a few berries on the end
of tli'i cane. Hence it will not do
to neglect a red raspberry patch in
this respect in the least.
