v.lu. Of q Park Commission Ia,

Every state should pass law SINH
lar to the one introduced in the Ohio
legislature through the efforts of the
Columbus park commission. whereby
any city in the state may have a park
commission should the people vote for
1t in majority. The duty Of such COM
mission will be to purchase and lay
out parks, Fairgrounds and boule-
wards. levy taxes and dispose Of bonds.
but another vote Of the people will be
necessary to permit Of the issuance Of
such bonds. 1t will become the sole
duty of five men selected in each city
to give special attention to this impor-
tant question and to study the prob
lem for present and future needs and
systematic each municipalities hold
ings. By this legal method 1t would
be possible for park commission to
handle In its entirety any park or
playground proposition without inter-
ference BY the city councils, the whole

branch, for two or three days. It
sometimes happens that the weather
after planting is very unfavorable: the
evaporation may be very rapid. Tree-
that have just been planted can take
up but very little moisture from the
ground, no matter how much water
you apply, until they have made gran
ulations for new root growth. Under
such conditions, the sap within the
trees or plants may be rapidly ex-
hausted before granulations have
formed and fresh supply of sap TAX
en- up. Perhaps the tree does not
leaf out. or perhaps it comes out with
small, delicate leaves and then the
hot, dry winds damage the trees.
Under such conditions, these trees can
be saved by boxing in the trunk with
6x6 fencing. Fill this upright box
with moist soil: wet this soil within
the box three times week. This will
usually cause the trees u leaf out
within ten days and 10 grow the sea
son through. This method has been
thoroughly tested and is of the ut
most importance. 1t is very much
cheaper to put in little extra work
and save your trees than to lose
years time as well as the trees. Leave
these boxes around the trees during
the winter. In trying climates, box
ing in trees is of great value 10 guard
ing against winter sun scald, so de-
structive to trees in the West and
Northwest.
Apparently the wellmeaning planter
dislikes to trim his trees when he re-
ceives them. He seems to feel that he
is multilating thing of life. Perhaps
he feels that it affects the looks of the
trees. and SO it does temporarily, but at
the end of the season, the trees, which
are balanced up, shortened Us to pre-
vious seasons growth and which are
properly balanced as to top and root
system will be found to have
made twice the growth of trees not
trimmed. Over and over again, we
have planted thousands Of trees, out
of the same blocks and same lots as
those shipped to our customers and
have found in our experience that a
judiciOus shortening OF the top, to
strike a balance between top growth
and root system, was immensely help.
full: first in its lessening the loss of
sap by evaporation for the tree plant
ed: second, by enabling it to en-
dure the shock of transplanting: to
more quickly establish proper condi-
tions Of growth, and finally, in the
course OF the season, to make far
stronger growth than the trees not
shortened.
1t is quite important that each kind
of trees be trimmed in accord with its
peculiar qualities.

How to Grow Trees.

We thoroughly believe in wind
breaks to the south, west and north of
the orchard. A north wind break les
sens the extreme rigOr of winter
winds. The wind break on the south
and west lessons the aridity of dry
winds in summer and row of lofty
growing trees on the east, prevents
the rays of the sun from raising the
temperature too quickly after frosty
night.
Since the average farmer has more
work than he can possibly handle, he
should utilize his team as far as pos.
sible in preparing the ground for
planting. After having thoroughly
plowed the ground, and done all that
can be done by blowing. pulverizing
and narrowing, part of the hard labor
OF digging holes can be saved by cross
marking and then running the lister
to the utmost depth possible to attain,
then planting the trees at the inter-
section Of the cross marking. In semi
arid regions it is well to plant fruit
trees six or eight inches deeper than
they stood in the nursery row. Our
habit is to plant without the use of
water, until the earth has been filled
in three inches over the roots, and
thoroughly tamped. Leave a basin
surrounding the tree. If the soil is
not sufficiently moist add two pals of
water to the tree. After this water
has soaked away then cover this wet
surface with three or four inches of
earth, leaving the surface loose.
Never tramp the wet soil. Pillow and
cultivate the ground in such manner
that the slope OF the ground is toward
the tree, then heavy dashing summer
showers throw an increased percent
aye of water to the trees. After cult

will retain the moisture.
Bundles should be promptly opened

trees and plants in ground, temper
