Prevent Killing BY Geld BY Taking
Precautions In Time. -
1t is commonly supposed that II trees
are given a sufficiently moist soil dur
ing their growing period their win.
ter condition In this respect is n mat
ter Of little Importance. As a matter
Of fact. trees are giving on moisture at
oil seasons Of the year. though to n
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 In 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
IL the soil be dry or frozen very hard
In that case the loss Of moisture re
suits In more or less complete drying
up Of the tissues Of the plant. and this
often results In the death Of the tree
What Is known as root killing may
in some instances be due to the imma-
ture or unripe condition of the plant
when winter begins. but in most cases
root killing follows dry seasons
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. chaff or
stable manure to prevent drying out
The mulch delays freezing. and this In
itself Is an important item, as it Is the
long continued frozen state Of woody
plants that Injuries them to fatal de-
gree, "A moist soil kept in an unfrozen
condition as long as possible Is the
surest means Of preventing winter kill
ing Of trees.-American Agriculturist
