many years after It begins to bear An In instance stance stanco Is given by Thomas Judd president dent of at the state board of oC horticulture In Its last biennial report ot of I a aSanta Santa Clara

nol do much under eight to ten years but will iiI make malte good vcr very soon after coming Into fruitfulness for tor all the years ot of wait waiting ing There Thero Is but one good reason for tor planting poplars cottonwoods box elders anti other useless trees about time tho turin tann house or bordering the tho roadways and that Is for tor shade For this how however however ever they do not
