A ten-year plan to make the strips of land alongside Jugo-Slavia's oilway tracks attractive and—productive has been prepared by a spe-lal horticultural section of the Ministry of Transport. It is proposed to plant 1,500,000 fruit trees in the fertile land "along the railways, and) hundreds of thousands of raspberry' canes and strawberry plants are be distributed to track-minders and station-masters to plant near' their bhuts and stations. 'There will also be merely decorative trees. 'The right to pick fruit will be granted for a small charge to the railway employces, who will be specially trained' to look after the trees. Tu this way the Government expects to get a slight return for its outlay, and the country will be richer by thousands of tons of fruits, nuts and berries. Moreover. particularly in the dull plains of the north, the orchards, laden either with blossom fruit, will gladden the eye of the traveller. The fruit trees which will bbe reared in special nurseries, will be of every variety, including figs, dates, oranges and lemons.
