-ANTS 



Paradise, Cal.— Dr. W. E. Mack of 

 the local technical school has started 

 a movement with a view of enabling 

 growers to secure olive trees without 

 the necessity of importing them from 

 points outside of Butte county. A 

 nursery of 60,000 trees is already ia 

 growth. The trees grown in Butte 

 county are free from diseases and 

 pests which often infest imported 

 trees. 



Knoxville, Tenn. — A nursery for 

 propagating shade trees will be estab- 

 lished here as soon as weather condi- 

 tions permit. This was the decision 

 of the Park City Civic Improvement 

 Association and is one of the steps to 

 secure a uniform growth of shade 

 trees throughout Park City. The trees 

 will be sold to citizens of Park City 

 at cost and will be accrlnpanied by in- 

 structions as to planting, care, etc.
