PLANTING THE TREE ON ARBOR DAY

the tree the more protection will be
necessary after planting, and the long
err the time before it will make much
shade. Dig the tree with as large root
system as practicable, letting as many
Of the small roots remain as possible.
Do not mechanically injure the roots
by breaking, splitting or knocking. the
bark off, and Of course never let them
become dry. The hole should be big
enough to let the tree set two inches
deeper than it was before it was dug,
without bending or twisting the roots !;
and large enough to let the lateral
roots keep their natural position. with
out crowding. Place the tree in the
hole as if it were a living thing, and
not throw it in as you would an IRON
post. While it is being held upright
in the center of the hole sprinkle hne
we'll pulverized soil over the roofs
making it firm around the roots with
general pressure of the loot. DO not
allow rocks, clods, sticks or any thlng
that would cause large air spaces TO
come in contact with the roots; but
don't neglect to pack the hne SOIL
closely around them. When the hole IS
almost full pack the soil firmly, then
ouit. leaving a mound of fine unpack-
ed soil four inches deep over the whole
root-svstem Rich soil should be used
to fiji the hole, but avoid letting strong
manure come in contact with the roots
of the tree. After it has been set, cut
the top back in proportion to the
amount that the roots were cut, while
it was being dug.
For a tree to do well you should
choose one from a soil similar to that
upon which you expect the tree to
grow. For example: do not go to the
river bottom to get a tree to plant on
a red hillside.
The first aim is to get the tree to
LIVE, the next is to make it GROW.

December lst is the day set for the
annual planting of trees in the state
of Georgia; for this reason it is called
Arbor day. Arbor day was first OBJ
served in 1865; and was started as an
annual custom in the state of Nebras-
ka in 1874. By 1890 thirty-hve states
had adopted it. Now practically every
state and territory in the United States
celebrate it; some as legal holiday, and
Others as school holiday. The exact
date varies; in the south it is in early
winter; in the middle states late win
ter; and in the north it is early spring,
The observance of this day is in &C
cord with the enactment of the leg
islature, and is celebrated by public
minded, nature-loving people; espe-
cially the women'S organizations and
school teachers and children, often
with ceremonies.
From the earliest times it has been
trees; and civilization has not caused
him to abandon the idea. They are a
protection in the time of cold, in the
time of heat, in the time of drouth,
and also in the time of flood.
But how many of our people really
know how to select and plant a tree
with the assurance that it will furnish
shade and beauty for the next genera
ton? The following are few brief
directions for the Arbor day tree
planter:
Assuming that it is to be used for
the school, church or home yard, de-
cidous trees are more desirable than
.evergreens. Among which one may
choose the water oak, sycamore, red
oak, white oak, Lombardy poplar, red
elm, maple and beech, hickory or the
pecan. Choose a straight, upright
vigorous tree, that measures from one
inch to three inches in diameter six
inches from the ground. The smaller

1000 SOLDIER PRISONERS
UNAWARE OF END OF WAR
Ignorant of the Outside World and
Barred From Writing Friends.

Seven thousand soldiers in the world
today do not know that the world wal
is ended. They are imprisoned in south
Siberia, living life of utmost misery
unable to escape or to communicate
with their own countries. These state
ments are made by newspaper in
Rome, Italy.
The information was taken to Rome
by a German naval officer, who de-
clared that he himself was a prisoner
in Siberia. He managed to escape and
reach Italy after a series of hardships
and adventure, he said.
A large number of Italians are said
to be among the unfortunate prison
ers, who number men from virtually
every country in Europe. The pub
fishers of the Rome newspaper vouch
for the good faith of the German who
told about the prisons and prisoners.
