Don't Plant Trees in Summer

I was called to the telephone few
days ago and asked if it would do to
plant apple trees as late as the fore
part of June. replied that it would
not do, unless the trees had been kept
dormant without drying out. The
man inquiring said that the trees were
standing in the nursery and had not
yet been dug Then | informed him
that his efforts would result in fail
ure if any thing of the kind was at
tempted. This man did not say that
any nurseryman had recommended
such a course but | inferred from his
statements that such thing had been
done. am surprised that any nurs-
eryman would think of recommending
such course. Any one who would
do such thing must either be dis
honest or very ignorant of plant life.
l would rather call a man ignorant
than dishonest, so | will assume the
mans honesty and try to point out
wherein he lacks information.
Many people believe that if you can
give tree plenty of water you can
keep it alive even if you transplant 1t

parts of the root can absorb any water
hence the location of the points where
water and food materials can be alb
sorbed is constantly changing and get
ting further away from the point where
the plant emerges from the soil. We
call these newer parts of the roots
containing the root-hairs the feeding
roots. The older parts of the root
can not assist in the feeding of the
tree for the simple reason that they
can not absorb any water and al
nutriment is in solution in the water.
Sorauer in his work on "Plant Physi-
ology,' page makes this statement;
''The absorptive region of the root is
therefore restricted to certain
youthful zone, which begins close be-
hind the smooth, often transparent.
root tip, and reaches back about an
inch. The older, brown portions OF
the root are useless for the purposes
of absorption.
Having learned these things we can
deduce certain practical lessons as
follows If we want to irrigate tree
we want to run the water where these
feeding roots are and we must place
our fertilizers in the same location.
Hence, the too frequent custom OF
running the irrigation water, and pill
ing the manure or other fertilizers,
close around the trunk of the tree
should be avoided. The roots OF a
tree, as a rule, extend out as far as
the limbs overhead and out there are
the absorptive roots which are the
feeding roots. The irrigator, there
fore, should spread his water further
from the trunk of the tree as it grows
larger.
have referred above to ozmotic
pressure. This is one Of the marvels
of plant life. 1t is well-known that
if a bladder containing salt water is
immersed in fresh water and allowed
to remain in that condition for some
hours. the water inside the bladder
and outside will be equally salty.
Now that force that causes the salty
water to pass through the bladder tc
the fresh water and the fresh water
TO pass into the bladder is what Is
called ozmotic pressure. We may moi
be able to explain fully why this force
operates nor how it does, but know

when transplanted when the leaves
are out. In the first place the tree is
not in the same condition before the
leaves put out that it is after they are
out. During the winter the body of
the tree has enough stored up food
material to start the growth but after
the leaves have put out that food
material has been used up and no
more can be secured only as it is
manufactured in the leaves and carried
| by the returning sap to the various
parts of the tree. This food material
must be absorbed by the root-hairs in
pressure to the leaves where it meets
| the carbon of the atmosphere and
| is transformed into carbohydrates.
! These carbohydrates transformed into
various compounds, are carried to the
growing parts of the tree. The parts
of the root that absorb these food
| materials from the soil have all been
left in the soil in digging the tree, so
that the part of the root taken up in
digging the tree is practically with
out any root-hairs and cannot absorb
any food material. Let me make a
quotation from agricultural Bot
any" by Prof. John Percival, page 33.
"The root hairs are hollow tube-like
structures and should not be confus-
ed with fine, small rootlets. They
are out-growths from the surface Of
| the root, and as long as they last are
concerned with the absorption of
water and various ingredients in solu-
ton from the soil. Upon plants
growing in the ground the root-hairs
are very intimately in contact with
the particles of the soil and are of so
delicate nature that it is practically
impossible to remove plant without
destroying them. Although almost
invisible they are among the most i'm
portant organs which plants possess.
All the food constituents obtained
from the soil, and from various
manures applied to the latter, are
taken in by the root-h hairs. BY their
means plants are kept constantly sup
piled with water; their destruction in
the process Of transplanting or any
disturbance of their development and
action, such as may be caused by ex-
cessive dryness or imperfect aeration
of the soil, leads to deficient water
supply and consequent whitening of
the plant.
Let this very important quotation
be carefully studied and the point l
am trying to impress on my readers
will be we'll understood. A trans
planted tree has no root-h hairs but in
the spring when the tree is dormant
there is enough food material stored
up in the body of the tree to start
both the root hairs and the leaves and
so it can go right on manufacturing
it's food, but in the summer time
there is no food material left in the
body of the tree and no root hairs
can be grown and it starves to death
for lack of food, although it may be
abundant in the soil. Where there
are no root hairs there is no ABSORB
ton of water or food material from
the soil.
The root-hairs are always on the

THE DOLLAR IN THE FIELD AFFAIR

An American dollar will purchase
much more in the Far East than it
will at home Here it will hardly buy
a dinner; in China it will buy rice
enough to support one person for
many months. 1t is also potent
factor in Africa. We give few items
of information applied by the White
Fathers algerian Missionaries).
Twenty dollars will free a young
slave-boy or girl-and thus make
possible a conversion. The same
amount will maintain student in our
native seminaries for one year.
Fifteen dollars will pay for main
tanning pupil in our native boarding
schools for one year. The same is
the annual salary of man catechist.
Ten dollars will pay woman cate
chist for one year.
Five dollars will enable an adult
catechumen to spend the last six
months before his baptism at the mis-
sion.
Three dollars will enable child to
spend six months at the mission be-
for his first Holy Communion.

NATIVE NUNS IN INDIA.

1t was in 1854 that the first attempt
was made in the Madura Mission
(Southern India) to found congre-
cation of native nuns. This Congre-
cation was started under the name
and protection of Our Lady of Seven
Dolors and it's principal work was to
be the education of girls.
The institute progressed very slow
Fly at first; how could it be otherwise
in country where young girls had
no other ideal than the married life in
which they used to engage at the age
of from twelve to fifteen years.
There was progress, however, and
the young sapling of 1854 has now
become fourishing tree. The Con-
gregation of Our Lady of Seven Dol
ors numbers, at present, some
$50 nuns and there are no less than
80 novices in the novitiate.
Converts and schools have been
gradually started in various places,
and the Congregation now conducts
one Normal School, four Secondary
and sixteen Primary Schools, in which
they educate $500 children. The fig
ures are consoling when it is remem-
bered that in this country only seven
girls in a hundred receive any kind OF
an education
AS the number of schools increases
the number of candidates for the no
vitiate increases also, so that there

GROWTH OF cATHoLlclTY ON
THE IVORY COAST.

Memni is a large village of the At
tiee tribe, on the Ivory Coast, West
Africa. 1t has population Of about
fifteen hundred souls. writes Father
Meraud, L. AT. NJ, a missionary in that
district. The Attiees include the Lee
pains and the Baudins. The majority
of the latter live in the forests and are
still pagans, but during my visits to
them / have been well received.
They never repair to the settle
ments of the white men, save when
they are in ned of salt or tobacco,
for which they pay in animals skins
and pearls.
The Lepains are more inclined to
mingle with the colonists than are the
Baudins, and are, therefore, consid-
cred more civilized. They have dis
continued many of their savage OBJ
servances. In disposition they are
amiable and friendly, but exhibit pride

Our little chapel accommodated the
few natives who were attracted to us,
partly from curiosity, am afraid. OF
late, however, great progress has been
made in the evangeliZation of these
people. There is a general movement
toward conversion in Memni. Many of
the young married men wish to be-
come Catholics, and those who have
been instructed and baptized are zeal
Gus in bringing their friends to the
mission. They say to me repeatedly:
Father, build large chapel that ali
our people may come to you and hear
the Word of God"
They have promised that if I will
build chapel, they will transport
hither free of charge all the material
we need to bring from the colonist
settlements. This is generous offer;
transportation is very expensive here,
because everything is carried on the
shoulders of porters.
In order to purchase the material
and pay for the work of building,
need about fifteen hundred dollars.
Who will help me to get this sum to-
gether?
