TO CARE FOR
INJURED TREES
District Horticultural Inspector
Offers Suggestions for Hand
ling Winter Supply
(By F. E. Bailey

At this time it is pertinent to or
chard work to make few suggestions
for the management of winter injured
trees during the coming season.
In treating winter injured trees we
must remember that we are endeav-
oring to restore to profitable bearing
condition, plants in which the vital
tissue has been destroyed or weaken
ed over some area. The first part of
the work before us, then, is to speed
lily replace the impaired tissue with
new and viable wood and bark.
In order to produce new tissue rap
idly, tree must be literally supplied
with plant food. Of those plant food
elements which the tree takes from
the soil, nitrogen is the most impor-
tant in the production of new wood
and bark. Furthermore, nitrogen is
the one element of plant food whicl. is

Several Interesting Subjects Consid-
cred at Finley Meeting
The farm council met at the school
house Friday evening, After a short
business session Mr.. Hughes gave an
outline of his trip to Olympia in be-
half of the Hover Finley school dis
tricts. A short recess was then de-
clared after which literary program
of unusual merit was given by local
talent. Then followed a talk on the
water system, in which all were vitality
interested, by Manager Fred Pyle. His
answers to the questions asked showed
him familiar with his undertaking and
his belief in the system was encour-
aging to the community here.
An auction sale of baskets then
kept things lively and the student
body furnished and served coffee to
the large crowd.
The proceeds of nearly $50 is to be
used for the seating of the basement
room of the school house where the
council meets. The next meeting is
on The Dairy and the state inspector
is expected, together with Mr.. Nettle-
ship of the local creamery. All are
invited to enjoy profitable evening.

will furnish some fertility and increase
the water holding capacity for the

A normal amount of pruning is rec
commended. Severe pruning and ex-
IRENE heading will give the tree a
shock which it cannot well stand ii
it's weakened condition. The leaves
of the tree produce sugar, sugar
starch and cellulose which is used in
forming new wood and bark; severe
pruning reduces leaf surface and also
checks the tree in replacing injured
tissue. On areas where the bark on
the trunks has been destroyed thru
the cambium layer, the dead bark
should be cut away to where living
tissue is found. The exposed wood
and the margins of the live bark
should then be protected from the
drying action of the sun by painting
over with hot grating wax or hot
mixture of eight parts asphaltum %
grade) and two parts paraffin. In the
absence of either of the above mater
ials the exposed wood may be paint
ed with white lead thinned with lin.
seed oil but this mixture should not
come in contact with the margins Of
the live bark. 80 ~
If the dead bark is not cut away as
suggested here, the growth of new
bark and wood will be unable to grow
over the injured area properly.
If the orchard is in alfalfa or other
cover crop, plans should be laid now
to have no hay cut during the coming
season. When the hay is cut in sum-
mer weather. the cover crop is i'm
mediately stimulated to vigorous
growth. In doing this the roots of the
cover crop draw heavily on the soil
water, robbing the trees of moisture
at a time when it is most needed. Ev-
cry effort must be made to keep in
jured trees supplied with a liberal and
even supply of moisture during spring
and summer.

most often deficient in Eastern Wash
ington soils. Therefore, it is recon-
mended that injured trees be given an
application of some fertilizer carry
ing relatively high per cent of nj
trogen.
Nitrate of soda supplies nitrogen II
a readily soluble form which is quick
~ absorbed by the tree roots. Appli-
cation should best be made in early
spring, about March 1st or as soon af-
ter that date as possible. A four to
six year old tree should receive an ap-
plication of two to three pounds; an
eight to twelve year old tree, four
to five pounds. The nitrate should be
spread about the tree evenly over a
radius twenty-five per cent greater
than the radius of the spread of the
branches. AS there are few feeding
roots within two to three feet of the
tree trunk, fertilizer should not be
applied close to the trunks. In case
nitrate application is delayed until af-
ter the spring rains are past, the nj
trate should be scattered along the II
rigation bitches beneath the tree in
stead of broadcast as recommended
for earlier application.
III the orchard was not disced in the
fall it should be in the spring. Discing
will incorporate the cover crop growth
of last season into the soil where it
