roots. The ground should then be
soaked and allowed to settle before the
rest of the soil is replaced.
The most important factor in sue
cessful planting is cultivation of the
ground about the tree. Work the soil
thoroughly with a hoe so that the air
and moisture can reach the roots. If
the roots will smother. If the tree is
planted in a lawn or meadow a space
as large as the spread of the roots
should be kept free of grass and culti-
waited until the tree is thoroughly es-
tablished. Following is a set Of rules
in the planting of a ~deciduous tree as
set down by an expert:
No. I-Mark out the hole in the form
OF a circle, making the diameter equal to
the spread of the roots of the tree. Place
the sod on one side.
No. 2.-Remove the black soil immedi-
ately under the sod and place next to
the sod This black soil is. of course. the
best.
No. 3.-Remove the under or yellow soil
to a depth of about two and a half feet.
Be sure TO keep the three soils. black.
sod and yellow, in separate piles.
No. 4-The width of the hole averages
about five feet. top and bottom. This is
for a tree three inches in diameter and
eighteen feet in height.
No. 6.-Use decayed manure or leaf mold
to put In the hole for a depth of two
inches.
No. 6.-Turn the sod upside down over
the manure or leaf mold and lamp thor
oughly
No. I-Put back some of the black soil.
pulverizing il by hand, to a total depth of
twelve inches. leaving the hole still eight
cen inches deep.
No. Stake the tree and spread out
the roots so that every one is perfectly
straight. If necessary trim some Of the
long roots, making sure that every inn
portant root has a clean cut and not a
jagged break at the end. The soil mark
on the trunk must be level with the
ground. II necessary take out a little
soil or put back a little more black dirt
into the hole.
No. 9.-Spread the black soil by hand
between the roots. After covering them
shovel the rest of the black soil on and
lamp thoroughly.
No. 1O.-Mlx the yellow soil with one
part Of decayed manure or leaf mold to
two parts of yellow soil and spread on
the tor. This mixture tends to keep the
top soil open and prevents 1t from pack
Ing too hard
No. 1.-After the tree is planted it
should be trimmed back. but great care
should be taken in doing this, as many
good specimens are ruined by improper
trimming.
No. 12.-After the tree is planted and
trimmed the soil about it must be kept
open and should be constantly cultivated
for the first year. For the first month
the tree should be watered once a week

PLANTED

~ ERSONS planting trees should
make it a point. first of all. to
~ use the same care and be just
p as particular as surgeons in
performing operations of a serious ma
ture, since care is as important in one
case as in the other.
When planting a tree make sure to
dig the hole large enough to permit
the roots to spread as much as posi-
bic. In replacing the dirt over the
roots put the top soil in first. This soil
is of a richer nature than the subsoil
and should by all means come In con-
tact with the roots.
Another important point Is to make
sure that the tree is planted at the
exact depth at which it grew. This
you can see by the soil mark about the
trunk. The ground should be kept
thoroughly and firmly packed around
the roots so that the tree cannot work
loose. When the tree is planted In the
fall the ground about it should be
tamped again in the spring.
Trees must be thoroughly watered
when they are planted and regularly
afterward if the weather is dry. Once
or twice a week is often enough. but
be sure that plenty of water is used
Unless the ground is soaked to a snf
icient depth water does more harm
than good. In planting evergreens, II

"Selina Hobbs was to home looking at

The pleasant eyes scanned Selma
narrowly. They saw a little wisp of a

around her shapely head; pale. deli

ASKS P. D. PATRONS
FOR COOPERATION
POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT SAYS
RESIDENTS AND OFFICIALS
SHOULD WORK TOGETHER.

The Hattiesburg postoffice is the re-
cipient of a communication from
Daniel c. Roper, first assistant post
master general at Washington, asking
the local office to seek the co-Opera
tiCn of the citizens in a campaign to
facilitate the handling of the mails.
1t is suggested that Postmaster T. NJ.
Fuller take up the proposition with
the Commercial Club, the Business
Mems Association, and other organiza-
tions OF similar character.
There is no doubt that if the pa
irons of the postoffice would give
closer attention to mailing" Mr.. Full
ler said today, 'the handling of the
mails would be greatly facilitated.
He added that there would be few
er letters 10 go astray if business men
and others would use a little more
system in mailing.
| The communication from the post
office department is in reality an early
movement to facilitate the handling
of Christmas mail, which always re-
suits in more or less congestion.
