CIIL In om that people .Interest In trees seems to be very general and from many different an- tries, such as the commercial. seien- titie and aesthetic. As a rule. the speaker said that the best citizens were interested in "as. and in their planting and care around their homes or on the farm. Usually farmers are better acquainted with trees than other people because of timer asso- ciation with them or with their prod-" ucts in the form of lumber. "Ennis Trees As to Illinois trees. a hulietin soon to be issued at Urbana would dee, cribe over 124 species and varieties. and the tree book issued by the Con- servahon Department described about 98 different trees. Probably it is safe to say that out of a very large number of trees in America, as com- pared with European countries, less than 100 are of commercial import- Through mr-operation of the State Farmers"' Institute.

Trees have had an important ; part to play in the varied topography of the country, preventing erosion of ‘thr soil and with their leaves and rmrdles on the ground increasing the capacity of the soil to hold water. Pathe recently reieased a very inter- t-stmg tilm depicting trees as the ‘friend of man, doing their work sit- 'ently, and such tilrus are bound to stimuiate inn-rut in trees from the use "f beauty and utility. Citing the big saving in farming with modern tools over old-fashioned methods, Farm & Fireside declares that whereas it required 300 hours of labor to cultivate one acre of corn with a hoe, the same cultivation an now be given the crop in four hours by the use of machinery.
