TREES IN WINTER
BY EDITH BRANDS

]
Louis and Sara knew most of the
trees on the streets of the little town
where they lived by their leaves. They
had learned them while taking walks
with Big Brother Bob the summer be-
fore.
Now it was winter, the trees had no
leaves, brother was in school and the
two little people had to take walks
alone, with no one to point out inter-
esting things about trees.
"But we can find things out for our
Selves" said Louis.
"How?"
"First, we will go and look at our
own trees"
So they went out in the front yard
and looked at the tall elm in the mid
die of what was their grass plot in
summer. 1t had a strong, upright
trunk, and the bark had small ridges
in it. They were dark and not SCARED
or broken. The branches of this tree
traced beautiful pattern against the
, usually has as much growth beneath
the ground as it has stems and
branches above. 1t was hard to be-
lieve, but he had shown them a pic
ture in a school book.
"Let's go down to the bridge and
count elms all the way" was the de-
cision.
The bridge crossed the Neosho
River. 1t was just five blocks down
the street from their house. Five
blocks there and five blocks back made
a splendid walk for exercise and for
seeing interesting things.
They looked at the elm tree in their
own yard until they were sure they
would know all the elm trees they
saw. Then they set out. Louis count
ed trees on one side of the street,
Sara on the other.
When they came to the bridge Louis
had seen and counted seventeen elm
trees in the yards along the way. Sara
had seen thirteen she was sure of and
seven she was not sure of. They de-
cided not to count the "almost sure
OFFS"
Louis could add two and three and
three and three but that was as far as
he could go. Now they had to find a
way to see how many elms they had
both found.
They went down into the Garden
Club Park by the bridge. They picked
up small stones, one for each three.
They laid them in two straight lines
on a level ledge of rock Louis began
to count his stones, and when he had
finished, he went on counting Sara's,
like this eighteen, nineteen, twenty"
When that was done, he had counted
thirty stones. Sara counted her own
stones. When she reached thirteen
she went right on counting, fourteen,
fifteen, sixteen" and she, too, went
right on up to thirty. Each stone
stood for tree.
They did not count trees on their
way home. They looked at the sky
and the dried grass and leaves. They
saw some snoWbirds.
When they arrived at home and told
their mother, she said, "You have
made two very interesting discoveries:
how many elms are on each side of the
street between here and the bridge,
and how to find out how many elms-
there are when those on each side are
added together
Louis said, "Mother, it is fine to
learn to plan and do things by our
selves. We went and did it. Now we
know how"
Sara said, Tomorrow we will do
another plan"
Louis said, "Winter is as much fun
as summer"

TOMORROW

Tomorrow can't be counted on
For what today should bring,
Nor can we hope to harvest grain
From fields not sown in Spring;
So don't delay today's hard task
Until some later date,
For work put off from day to day
In time will seal ones fate.

Early Feeding of Lawn Chok(|
Weeds Before They Get Start

II you were asked to name your
ma jor lawn problem, what would you
reply7 Right the first time-weeds-
those pesky critters that seem TO
spring from nowhere.
Gardeners used to think that moth
ing but laborious digging would eradi-
cate weeds from the lawn. But we
know now that early feeding of the
lawn with a complete balanced plant
food is q great aid in Graduating
weeds.
OF course this early feeding doesn't
directly kill the weeds. But 1t does do
this: Through supplying completely
balanced, readily available nourish
ment to the grass roots, 1t enables the
grass to make such a dense, early,
vigorous growth that weeds are choked
out.
Grass makes its best growth in early
spring. when the weather is cool and
there is plenty OF moisture in the soil
Weeds do not start into growth until
later. when the soil has become thor
oughly warm, and higher temperatures
prevail
Therefore to combat weeds, give your
lawn an early feeding this year. max
ing application in late February or
early March, before the grass shows
any signs Of active top growth. Apply
four pounds Of plant food per 100
square feet Of lawn area. Application
may be made either with a plant food
spreader. or by hand.
Not only is this early application
beneficial from the standpoint OF COM
batting weeds. but 1t Is less laborious
for the gardener. because when plant

STUDY FIRE RAIDS

1t isn't likely that our cities will
suffer from bombing raids in the i'm
mediate future, but 1t is a good thing
to prepare for such emergencies be-
fore they happen.
Officers of the New York fire de-
partment have arrived home after an
extended trip to London where they
studied the methods the English use
in combating fire under actual air raid
conditions. They took their job so seri-
ously that they fought side by side
with the firemen of London helping
put out one conflagration after an
other. They found that Britains meth
cd of combating incendiary bombs Is
based on the use of thousands OF
pieces Of small, mobile fire fighting
apparatus. most of 1t hand-drawn.

their lives in order to bring home a
