Truly, here is a custom well worthy of observ- | ance. If every baby had its tree there { would be beauty everywhere. While | on this subject let us suggzest another. | A rich land-owner in the eastern end 'of the county with many tenants allows them a reduction of rent in pro- portion to the number & walnut trees { planted on unimproved ground. He is really planting a fortune which will be realized in twenty years. Why can. not others do likewise? !
