HISTORIC TREES NAMED

American Forestry Association Ca

To File A. Record.
New York Times.


try have been nominated recently
for the Hall Of Fame for Trees, in
stituted by the American Forestry
Association. Four Of them are oaks
and three are elrns. Two Of the trees,
an oak and a willow, are closely as
sociated with George Washington.
The oak is on the Hampton planta-
ton at Santee River, South Caro-
lima. The plantation is owned by
Colonel Henry Rutledge, who occu-
Pies the spacious home built about
1850 by Daniel Horny, q French
Huguenot. Washington was a visitor
there in 1871, and admired the oak
SO much that he prevailed on the
Horny family not 10 cut the tree
down. It has long been known as
the oak which Washington saved,
and Colonel Rutledge has devoted a
great deal Of care to its preserve
ton. ~: -, .. ..t..- 81.
The willow is at Constantine,
Mich. 1t grew from some twiss of the
large weeping willows over the tomb
Of Washington at Mount Vernon.
The twigs were cut from the Wash
ipgton willows in 1875 by Franklin
Wells 'andFJohp Jones of Constan-
tine. Only one willow survived, and
that is now d magnificent tree.
Besides the South Carolina oak
three other famous oaks have been
named for the Hall of Fame. One is
in New Jersey, one in New Orleans
and the third in Massachusetts,. The
last named is known as the Indian
war oak. It Is in Grafton, Mass,
place which figured prominently dur
ing the early wars against the Indi-
ans. -.
The New Jersey tree is known as
the Crosswichs oak, being in the
bown Of that name standing close to
the old meeting house built in
1773. The church was used as hos
pital during the Revolution and at
one time was occupied by a regiment
of Hessians, The oak is one of the
largest in New Jersey, having a cir
conference of 26 l-2 feet at a
height of three feet above the
ground. The tree is 81 feet high, tav-
ing spread of 1923 feet!
The New, Orleans tree is known as
the McDonough oak and is memori-.
al tree to the former owner of the
estate, who took an active part in ex-
tending the public school system of
New; Orleans after the Civil War.
The circumference of this oak at q
height of four feet from the ground
is 27 feet and it's branches have a
spread of .124 feet.
So far as is known the oldest of
the trees recently nominated is the
famous Lewis Cass elm in the City
Park at Elyria, Ohio. 1t is said 10 he
250 years old, and in 184S Lewis
Cass stood beneath the tree and ad-'
dressed mass meeting Of Ohio
voters during his Presidential cam
paign. He was cunning on the Demo-
cratir ticket against General Zach
airy Taylor. The elm is in an excel
lent state of preservation, having a
circumference of IA feet 5 inches at
height of four feet above the
ground and is 80 feet in height.

Co. operative Marketing
Of Tobacco Success
In California.

Unqualified endorsement o. the Sa-
piro plan for the cooperative mar
ke,ing Of hurley tobacco in Ken
lucky was given by Alfred 4. Aaram.
Of Fresno. California. president Of
the Associated Tobacco Growers Of
California. who arrived here Thurs
day. says the Lexington Herald.
Mr. Aaram. a nephew Of the late
Byron McClelland. horseman, in adj
di,ion 10 coming TO Lexington 10 Wis
il relatives. has the purpose Of in
teresting tobacco men in a proposed
national organization for the bene-
tit Of the tobacco industry generally
throughout the United States.
II know the plan which Mr.. Sa-
piro has suggested for marketing
Of tobacco in Kentucky. am ia
miliar with has work and am con-
iiden, that the plan he has offered
is sound and one that will unqucs-
,ionably bring to the tobacco grow
ers Of Kentucky beneh, OF which
they have never dreamed" said Mr..
Aaron.
I'm California we have had CO.
operative marketing Of tobacco for
the last eight years. In all we have
been growing tobacco for but Is
years and our efforts which resulted
in the organization along the coop
crative plan were gradual. We.
the growers. realized that We were
not protecting our own interests by
selling individually. and for this
reason IL seemed that as II by COM
mon consent we Joined together and
formed our association which has
grown To such proportions that to-
day not a single pound Of tobacco is
grown in the entire state that is not
disposed Of through the association.
You will. Of course, realize that
in California We grow nothing bu,
Turkish tobacco and that our total
production at the present time is but
slightly over 100000 pounds. But
our interests are the same as the
Burley growers. The basic princi-
pies are the same, and believe that
such an organization in Kentucky
would obtain the same results as 1t
has in our state
The position we take Is this. The
manufacturer. the jobber, the whole
saler and the retailer never fail 10
make a profit-the farmer or the
grower is the only one that Is ever
asked to stand loss, and We be-
lieve that IL the farmer cannot make
a profit on his crop, then that crop
is not worth raising. We are not
unreasonable in our dealings with
the buyers-in fact We are sympa.
,hetic with their side Of the question,
but we always insist tina, the grower
be- protected. that not he alone be
called upon to stand a loss Il Their,

proper cultivation and spraying are
also necessary for the success Of the
project.
Care Of the seed plot il outlined
a. follows by Mr.. Olney:
AS soon az the potatoes are well
above ground all plants should be re-
moved which are stunted and show
signs Of the diseases known as mosaic
or curly dwarf. This disease causes
young plants to appear dwarfed and
the leaves to curl downward and be
much twisted They also have an
uneven yellow and green color. Tho
disease causes the plants which !, at
tacks to produce small, worthless
tubers and is the principal cause OF
varieties running out" The plants
should be gone over again about
twice before Towering in order to re
move all diseased ones. At flower
ing time all plants should be removed
which show a different flower color
from that Of the variety as these ar,
mixtures. Especial care also should
be taken to make an application OF
nicotine sulphate at the earliest ap'
pearance Of aphis or leaf hoppers a:
these are difficult to control when
they have become established.
After the last undesirable plants
have been removed all plants which
appear especially healthy and vigor'
Gus should be marked. This should
be done before danger Of frost
Soon after the vines have been killed
the marked hills may be dug. These
will furnish seed stock for the seed
plot to be planted the following July
or August. The remainder Of the
crop from the seed plot should be
saved for seed for the early field crop
the following spring"

Bordeaux Spray Stops

Losses IN the kentucky potato crop
through the attacks Of late blight
which annually reduces the yield Of
spuds on many farms may be stopped
by spraying the crop with Bordeaux
mixture. according TO J. :. Gardner,
extension specialist IN vegetable gar
dening from the College Of Agricul-
ture. The disease is worse IN some
years than in others but there are
always loose spores Of 1t which live
through the winter in many ways and
attack the potato crop when the prop
er kind Of weather arrives. Hot
muggy days are favorable ones for
attacks Of blight.
