TREES TO HEDGE ROADS
Commission To Determine at .June Meet
ing What Trees To He Planted.
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.
