1. — ST PAYS IN THE IN¬ 
CREASED VALUE IMPARTED 
TO LAND. 
Trees possess great value 
as measured by their cost. 
Certain beautiful, stately 
shade and fruit trees are 
called to mind, which cost 
their owners not three dol¬ 
lars apiece all told, but 
which today would not be 
spared for $500, $500 or 
$1,000 ap’ece. Railroads 
taking planted lands often 
pay from $30 to $300 each 
for trees occupying the 
same. The writer knows 
of $600 apiece having been 
awarded in solid cash to 
the owner for trees that 
stood on some land that 
was needed for a certain 
town park. 
The planting of these 
trees paid enormously, for, 
besides the money realiz d 
in the sales alluded to, the 
trees had previously given 
priceless delight in shade, 
shelter and beauty for 
many years. The cost was 
as nothing. Such returns 
not unfrequently follow 
judicious planting. 
2.—ST PAYS IN THE BETTER LIVING AND INCREASED COMFORTS THAT MAY SPRING 
FROM PLANTED GROUNDS. 
The free use not only of fruits, but also of garden vegetable, should be 
enjoyed by every family in the land daily the year round. The children es¬ 
pecially should be treated to all the lucious fruits, fresh and preserved, that 
they may desire to eat—none should he deprived of the light and excellent 
food to be found in the choice culinary vegetables so easily grown. 
Many troublesome diseases are unknown to the free uses of a largely veg¬ 
etable diet. A convincing argument for the value of fruit is this: Settlers in 
a new country improve in health as their orchards begin to yield freely. Sail¬ 
ors in. the frigid zone succumb to severe, sometimes fatal diseases, very soon 
after their supplies of fruits and vegetables give out. 
Statisticians prove beyond any doubt that people on an average live long¬ 
er now than in past centuries. This fact should in a large part be ascribed to 
the rapidly increasing use of fruits and vegetables in recent years in all civ¬ 
ilized lands. 
The presence of trees about a place contributes greatly to the comfort of 
man and beast. A dense belt of trees, especially evergreens, to the windward 
of a home will save the consumption of many an additional ton of coal in
