At its meeting iu June the State high" way commission will consider plans for pi au ting trees along hard surfaced r.>ads already constructed and to be constructed in South Carolina. The carrying out of this plan will be a matter of decided interest, since the trees will have both and esthetic and utilitarism value. It has been suggested that the com mission decide on black walnut trees for bordering the hard surfaced roads iu the Piedmont, and pecan trees fo.r. similar roads in the coastal section of the state. The planting along hard surfaced high ways of these nut bearing trees undoubt edly meet with the unanimous approval of all small boys. However, there are other considerations btwides providing trees which will yield a harvest of nuts. ' 0e consideration 's the factor of rapid ity in growth' Neither the black wal nut nor the pecan would compare fav orably in rapidity of growth with sev eral other varieties of trees. Another factor of importance iu undertaking tree planting on a large scale as a Statewide proposition is the ease with which seed lings could be obtained*- Tttfc^e^^opld br> no difficulty wjhjd^frver in obtaining yo u i i ^;'^pro|S^Kt r ei?s , but black walnut seedlings are very scarce and it probab ly be necessary to rear them before enough could be secured to border ex isting stretches of hard surfaced high way to be built in that section of the State. Knun the utilitarian standpoint the black walnut would be a splendid choice f<>r the reason that the timber it ylcldf has become very scarce, is exceedingly hard and takes a splendid finish. No one could be found yesterday who could render expert judgment on pecan wood a< timber," but since this tree is closely akin to the hickories,, it would probably yield good hard wood if worked into timber., ? ' ? lieturucd soldiers have pointed out j that in the trees which border its high- 1 ways* France had a resource which con- j tributed substantially to wiuning the I War. As the war brought about an in- 1 creased demand for timber of all kinds. ' the French cut down the shade trees along their roads, taking lirst alternate trees and then in many instances tak ing all the tree#* ltfft sending. So keenly alive were .the, French to the value of trees that even working under enor mous war pressure they had time to plant out seedlings along highways which the necessities of war forced them to 9 ' denude, of trees The French highways are .built with a view to planting trees on either side of them, and have specially constructed shoulders both along level stretches and in cuts and across fills. ? At the present stage of road develop ment in Houth Carolina engineers do not ciuisider it desirable to border top jjoi J , , or, , s*a it (1 -ol a y surfaced roads with trees, for the reason that' the?e roads need a great deal of sun in order to dry off rapidly after rain. Roads with a permanent surface of cement concrete or aspbaltic concrete arc not affected by shade, in fact shade in summer on such roads wonld in all probability lessen the enormous wear and tear which they, must undergo on account -of- -heat expansion nnd contraction. This expansion and contraction is one of the silent but ex ceedingly " powerfu forces of nature with vyhk-hv builders of hard surfaced roads must reckon. Shading such roads ii summer would lower the temperature and reduce the degree of expansion whict they would otherwise undergo when the sUnJs rays heat down upon them. The question of the State highwaj commission at its meeting in June 01 the proposal to border hard surfac roads with trees will be awaited witl keen interest. Undoubtedly all smal boys will vote heavily for black walnuj and pecan trees. ? The State. ? . . .. ' Collis C.
