Improving the Appearance

The following letter and article
on tree planting was sent 10 us
this week. Many good instruct
ions are given for those who are
interested in tree planting:.
Dear Editor. When attending
the Teachers Institute at Wash
burn last fall, the question of tree
culture was discussed to some ex-
tent. l have within the last few
weeks received letters from farm
ers, and school teachers in Nc
Lean county in regards to the
above question l concluded the
better way for NE to make re-
ply was through the columns of
your very instructive and valuable
paper.
Planting Trees
When tree is first planted the
limbs should be cut back at least
one half their length and more
would be better yet, as they will
start quicker, make better growth
and asmore handsome top.
After that time all the pruning
that is necessary, in fact all that
lis % the benefit of the tree, is to
|go over them each spring after the
cold freezing is over and then cut
out the inside limbs and those
that are liable to grow across in or
toward the center Of the tree The
best time to do pruning is the first
ten. days of June. When limbs are
pruned paint should be use.l to cov-
or the wound at once. When plant
ing trees plant them six to eight
inches deeper than they stood in
the nursery. In planting trees
lean them slightly to the direction
that most Of our strong wind blows
