SAVE THE LEAVES FOR
GARDEN FERTILIZER

The Chamber of Commerce works
for anything that is for the good of
the community. and conservation
has become the watchword OF every
American home We must learn to be
economical in more ways than one
and save everything worth while. In
the production of food supplies Il is
essential that our soil be- made as fer
tile az possible and fertilizers are be-
coming more scarce every year.
Canon City has tons of the hes, fer
tilizer known that is wasted every
year--LEAvES. They are raked up
into piles and burned. either for bon.
fires or TO get rid OF them. II should
be a criminal ofiense To dcstrop such
valuable fertilizer for our gardens. too
say nothing OF the disagrceabic smoke
arising from burning Them. Let MS see
to IL that they are not burned this
year We need them in every garden.
Now that they are frozen they will
come down fast and can be easily
handled while they are wet. Scatter
them over your garden tracts and
spade or plow them under this winter
and you viii be surprised Mt the rich.
ness of your soil next spring.
II has been demonstrated this year
that potatoes ran be successfully
grown in Canon City and If the
ground Is properly prepared with
leaves there Is no reason why every
family cannot raise sufficient potatoes
Tor their own use.

A POSSIBLE REASON FOR TREES
COMING OUT IN SPRING
IN POOR CONDITION.

Many young apple trees came out
this past spring in poor condition.
Most of the trouble was attributed to
freezing some saying too much oil
spraying. Another possible and quite
likely cause is that of the die-back, a
trouble common in Oregon this year.
Mr.. Leroy Chlds writes rs follows
about dieback:
"A very large percentage of tho
trees that come out in the spring. In
this section. in poor. condition suffer
from what has been termed in the
past as winter.kill. This term is very
misleading In that Il Is very closely
related to the term winter injury a
mechanical injury that occasionally
occurs here and have been glad to
adopt the Eastern name. die-back. as
much more appropriate for the trou-
BILE that VIC have here. II has been
my observation that die-back can be
practically prevented by the proper
use Of water. Up 10 the present time
we have not carried on any expert
mcnis to determine gust what is the
ideal moisture content of the soil in
order that best results be obtained

woman has not yet been selected. Sew.

She will work with the women OF
the county. At least IL is sincerely
hoped she will work with instead of
for the women. as working with the
women signifies she will have the CO.
operation OF the women in her un-

speaks a lack OF cooperation. md con.

only preventing the injury. but is as
sssting in bringing injured orchards

the irrigation we recommend cover

find that this practice not only builds

Very often trees of all kinds die
either suddenly or slowly and no cause
can be assigned. Plant life is after
all much like animals in that both
may die and from no apparent cause.
