Scouts have already been enlisted to assist 

 in the work of the Forestry Department in 

 locating dead trees and suppressing noxious 

 insects. 



Most of the trees heretofore planted in 

 Dallas have been native species and For- 

 ester MacDonald is planning to try, exper- 

 imentally, trees of European and Asiatic 

 origin, such as Norway Maple, Oriental 

 Plane and Gingko, which have proved so 

 successful in Eastern cities.
