Hedge Fences Prove Impairment To Land Hedge fences are gradually disappearing, bat enough of then! remain between farms and along highways to -cause . problems. Some people 'like hedge fences tot their posits, shade, beauty and Wind protection. Others dislike them because they impair the productive capacity of adjoining land, are hard to trim and harbor weeds and insects. The division fence law requires the owner to trim hedge back to five feet every two years and, if the hedge fence is used as a windbreak, up to 30 rods may be left to grow. If an owner fails to cut his hedge, an adjoining owner who is injured may cut it, after giving 10 days' written notice, and recover the cost from the owner of the hedge. As long as the owner keeps the fehce trimmed his neighbor cannot compel him to take it out. The law defines legal fences as inoluding hedge fences. To give highway authorities the rigjit to protect roads from overhanging hedge trees, the law requires that the owner trim back the hedge to five feet every year (instead of every two years as required for division fenees). However, this provision ddea not apply to hedge protecting an orchard or building. Also, as much as one-fourth of the length of a hedge fence along a highway may, with the consent of the highway commissioner, be left untrimmed as a windbreak for stock. Owners failing to* trim their hedges by Oct. 1 are liable .to a fine of 10 to SO dollars in a suit brought by the highway commissioner. X>o multiflora rose fences come within these hedge fence laws? Apparently So. There is nothing in the law defining a /'hedge," and the law implies thtet any trees or bushes used as a fence are included. Therefore, if multiflora rose division or highway fences exceed the limits to which the law permits their growth, an owner can be forced to trim them. These laws apply only to division or highway feiices. A fanner can have all the hedge fence he wants on the rest of his farm. Want Ads bring results. Place yours with the Plaindealer today.

CARPENTIER Sccrotary of S f . i t c Don't, let your guard down when yofi are driving on county or rural roads. You may be far away from the dangers that are present on the * high-speed highway or those in crowded city traffic, but deaths from accidents on rural roads are increasing. As this is written, the latest itatlStics for >1954 show that there were decreases in traffic accident fatalities la Illinois in all but two categories. Those two were cities with populations between 5,000 and 10,000 and on county and rural roads. On the county and rural roadB, there was a 9 per cent in* Cfeise. The two most frequent types of aicoldents causing deaths on those roads were collisions between motor vehicles and vehicles running off the road. Just because you are in the open country, where traffic is light, don't let your attentiop wander from the serious business of driving a car, don't drive too faSt for conditions. 'Danger spots are not as well marked on rural roads as on primary Highways, shoulders Are narrower, curves are sharper and roads are not as evenly graded. You can come upon a dangerous situation Very qUiekly, and you may save your life by being prepared for it A copy of the completely new "Rules of the Road" booklet will be sent to you free upon request.

Greenwood wai remarkable for its trim and lovely homes and its cleah streets and walks. The first store In the town was that of C. M. Goodsell.' It was a general store. Blair & Co., Crookshank, Goddard, Carlisle, Fink, Cowdiy, Baker, Garrison, Marble, Soper, Adams arid Hart were among the first business and professional men of the town. The township of Greenwood, like most of the county, cannot be excelled for rich soil and surface features. The landscape is possessed of natural beauty. The township became organized irr 1850. The first officers Were J. N. Barber, supervisor, G. T. Barrows, clerlt, Wm. Willis, assessor, s. Baldwin And George Weller, commissioners of highways. Henry Watson was the first settler in Greenwood township. Iii 1837, among others to file claims was Lewis Boon.
