XEWLY PLANTED ORIENTAL SYCAMORES ALONG A STREET IN 



I-'AYETTEVILLE, X._Y. 



The photograph was made two months after the Sycamores were 

 planted. This was one of those side streets, such as one will find in 

 many villages in New York State, where no one seems to have an in- 

 terest in planting trees. Early in the spring of 1914 the New York 

 State College of Forestry at Syracuse cooperated with the welfare 

 Association of Fayetteville in the'carrying out of a successful village 

 improvement campaign, during which there were planted, as part of 

 the results, many shade trees along the village streets. These few 

 Sycamores shown in'- the illustration serve as an example of the im- 

 provement due to this campaign.
