Although 700 young trees will be planted this spring, Mr, Lanham said, the end of the fiscal year probably will show that twice that number have been destroyed from various causes. Insects are not the only agencles responsible for tree destruction, and Mr. Lanham is frequently appealing ta citizens to co-operate in protect- ing the trees. Hotel Man Expires.
