The Illinois Outdoor Improvement 
Association will meet at Bloomington, 
111., on November 18-19. Mr. A. P. 
Wyman, University of Illinois, is secre- 
tary, with offices at 17 E. Van Buren 
street, Chicago, and the University is 
warmly interested in the work. A great 
field is open to the association, which 
is undoubtedly known to the organiza- 
tion, yet it may be added that the aus- 
pices of the University of Illinois should 
very materially help to build it up into 
a power. To spread the gospel of out- 
door improvement in the country places 
is a discouraging work, and only by 
persistent and authoritative activity can 
any progress be made, hence this oppor- 
tunity to join in a great and useful work 
should build up a membership equal to 
its successful prosecution. City For- 
ester Frost of Chicago, E. J. Parker of 
Quincy, III, and Charles M. Brown, 
secretary of the Park and Driveway 
Association, Madison, Wis., all well 
known civic improvement workers, are 
on the program for addresses at the 
Bloomington meeting. 
Mr. Wm. Berg has been elected super- 
intendent of the cemetery association 
of Salina, Kas., and is already busy 
cleaning up Gypsum Hill cemetery. 
The National Horticultural Congress 
and Exposition will be held in Council 
Bluffs, la., November 15-20. A broad

Somerville, Mass., has been experi- 
menting on a broad scale in street con- 
struction and maintenance, and has 
given Tarvia an exhaustive trial. The 
experimentation has been carried on 
systematically since 1906 in the vicinity 
of Boston. Mr. Asa B. Prichard, street 
commissioner of Somerville, tried the 
material in 1906, and his success has led 
him to use it on old streets and as a 
binder on new macadam, with excellent 
results. The present season 200,000 
square yards of macadam in Somerville 
have been treated with Tarvia B., and 
50,000 square }'ards of new macadam 
have been built with Tarvia X. The 
results have been such that there is 
constant pressure from the citizens for 
the extension of the Tarvia treatment,
