In France, Germany, Belgium and some 

 other European countries, it is the practice 

 to plant fruit trees along the public roads. 

 The local governments plant the trees and 

 cultivate them as a source of revenue, and 



it is said that in Belgium there are 760,000 

 roadside fruit trees, which in one year pro- 

 duced $2,000,000 worth of fruit. The wal- 

 nut, cherry, chestnut, plum and apple are 

 the favorite trees for roadside planting.
