ASKED AND 
Rehabilitating Mismanaged Cemetery. 
Editor Asked and Answered : Our city 
cemetery here is controlled and managed by 
the City Council, anfl for obvious reasons 
it is not cared for as a cemetery should be 
and no provision can be made for per- 
petual care of lots or graves, and it would 
be far better if it were handled by a com- 
mission or turned over to a body of relia- 
ble citizens as an organized association. 
This has been attempted before, but killed 
by the City Council. It now appears as if 
the council and city were ready for some 
such plan and we are gathering data for 
this purpose. Is there anything published

dar (Cham?ecyparis, Retinospora) . 
Trees that attract birds should be plant- 
ed around houses. Thorny trees and 
shrubs are much sought by birds for rest- 
ing places, because of the protection af- 
forded from cats as well as other birds. 
Red cedar and other junipers are among 
the best. Others are English thorn. Haw- 
thorn, Wild crab apple, European and 
American mountain ashes, smooth and 
staghorn sumach. Barberry, Buckthorn, 
Dogwood, Virburnum. The following plant- 
ed near fruit trees and gardens will mini- 
mize depredations by birds; Red-berried 
elders, Buffalo berry. Bird cherry. Sweet 
cherry, iMulberry, Russian mulberry. 
Street trees for Southern States. — Live 
oak. Water oak. Willow oak. Laurel oak.

that would point the way and manner such 
a change could be made, from municipal 
ownership to a company, and the forms 
and steps necessary to be taken? — C. D., 111. 
.A city-managed cemetery is very fre- 
r|ucntly a cemetery that is not managed at 
all. Politics and artistic taste are seldom 
found together, and political help in the up- 
keep of a cemetery is usually more destruc- 
tion than construction in development of 
the beautiful. Many citizens and lot own- 
ers of city-managed cemeteries have dis- 
covered the truth of the above statements, 
and in many cities protests of lot owners 
and citizens have brought about a reform 
in the methods of subdivision of eity ceme- 
tery land and also in the management. 
Sedalia, iMo., had such conditions. The 
citizens demanded a change and the City 
Council turned the cemetery over to a 
Cemetery Commission of the lot owners. 
Their first act was to secure the advice 
of a landscape artist as to development and 
maintenance, and rules for management. 
This interview with the landscape architect 
resulted in a change of plan for the un- 
used portion of the ground, about 25 acres. 
This change in plan conserved for burial 
purposes useless roads, as well as saving 
the cost of paving 12,000 feet of road, 
which would cost at the very lowest $1 a 
foot, or $12,000; and the land conserved 
for burial purposes at 50 cents per square 
foot would amount to $120,000, making in 
all $132,000 that this Cemetery Commission 
saved the city by its first act of securing 
advice. The advice and plans cost about 
$3C0 for the twenty-five acres. 
The question of art in plan and profile 
of roads had not entered into the city engi- 
neer’s lay-out of the land. A mere grid- 
iron subdivision with no regard to topog- 
raphy or drainage was ridiculous, and al- 
most ludicrous. The new plan fit the 
topography and provided proper drainage, 
and conserved the land for burial purposes, 
besides adding a planting plan showing 
what to plant and where to plant to secure 
the best results in landscape development, 
a continuation of foliage, flower and fruit, 
harmony of color, and contrasts in leaf 
forms, all of which have their part in mak- 
ing the cemetery beautiful. 
From 10 to 20 per cent of the funds re- 
ceived for lot sales should be set aside for 
a perpetual care fund. 
It has been demonstrated time and again 
that it pays many times over to employ a 
landscape architect to lay out a park or 
cemetery, before or after an attempt has 
been made at it by incompetent advisers. 
Many times the local engineer, with little 
experience in these lines, starts out by de- 
stroying all the natural features and then 
proceeds to substitute his own crude ideas 
ill direct opposition to what landscape art 
demands. It is a necessary economic fact 
that the designing and jilanting of ceme- 
tery grounds, great or small, should be the 
work of the properly qualilied landscape 
designer. 
Trapping Moles. 
Lditor .\skcd aiul .Answered : What is 
the best way to trap or destroy moles? — 
B. E., la. 
An e.xtended discussion of this subject 
was iirinted in I’.nkk ,\\i) Ck.metkry in 
May, 1915, and an illustration of a popu- 
lar type of mole trap is shown in an ad- 
vertisement on page <f>. This is the 
Ileartley mole trap, sold by Geo. W. Heart- 
ley, 902 Summit street, Toledo, O. It is 
said to catch a mole fleep in the ground.
