TREES DESTROYED IN WINTER
To Prevent Killing Soil Must Be Kept
Moist and Unfrozen a. Long
az Possible.

(By C. B. wALDRON. North Dakota Az
riculturnl College.)
1t Is commonly supposed that II
trees are given a sufficiently moist soil
during their growing period. that their
winter condition in this respect is q
matter Of little importance.
AS matter Of fact, trees are giving

though to much less extent, OF
course. in cold weather. During the
warm. sunny days In winter, there is
considerable loss Of moisture
through the twigs. and except for very
severe weather the roots are able to
furnish this loss, though the soil about
them be frozen. The ability to do this
Is naturally less II the soil be dry or
frozen very hard. In that case. the
loss Of moisture results In a more or
less complete drying up Of the tissues
OF the plants and this often results In
the death OF the tree.
What is known as root.killing may
In some instance be due to the imma.
ture or unripe condition Of the plant
when winter begins. but In most cases.
root-killing follows dry seasons like
the one Just closed.
II the soil has been kept moist BY
cultivation or mulching. the trees are
safe. but II the soil Is dry. 1t should
be thoroughly wet before freezing and
then mulched with old straw, chan or
stable manure. to prevent drying out
The mulch delays freezing and this
In Itself Is an important item. as 1t is
the long continued frozen state OF
woody plants that Injuries them to a
fatal degree.
A moist soil then. kept In an unfro-
zen condition as long as possible. is
the surest means to prevent winter

root.killing is very likely to occur.
