Now Is The Time:
Since we have had a frost and
the sap is down this is good
time to transplant trees and
shrubs, For trees, move as many
roots as possible and thin the
top but do not bob it off Or &C.
head it. If the tree is several
feet high anchor it with wires to
stout posts, but be sure TO wrap
the wire careful where it is in
contact with the the tree and see
that it is not wrapped around
the trees trunk. Light wires viii
cut and strangle a tree just as
they will person except it will
be more slowly.
Shrubs also should be anchor
ed if they are. very large. AL
ways prune shrubs when they
are transplanted. Even lockwood
and similar shrubs should be
clipped back from 2 to 4 inch
es. Reduced root systems viii
not be able to support the ori
ginal size shrub, therefore tht
top must be reduced in proper
ton. Most deciduols and ever
greens shrubs should be prunet
severely when transplantcd.
Now is also the time to plan
sweet peas and to transplan
or plant lily-o f-the-valley, mar
cisus, tulips, hyacinth, SNOW
drops, etc. If you have los

conserve the fertility of the soil
and apply adequate fertilizer.
The association UNANIMOUSLY
adopted the following objectives
for 1949:
l. VARIETY-Plant Coker 100
Wilt variety of cotton. Seed not
over two years from breeder

ETY.. Seed to germinate 800 or
better.
2. SEED TREATMENT-Treat
or secure seed that have been
treated with new improved
Ceresan or Dow 9-B. Delint seed
mechanically. Plant one bushel
of seed per acre. Use hill drop
per to eliminate or lessen chop

lbs. of calnitor, etc.). Also, rs to
100 lbs. muriate of potash on
soils of low potash or where
cotton follows legumes that were
removed from the land.
7. PLANTING-Plant as soon
as possible after danger of cold,
as an early crop is desirable un-
der boil weevil conditions. Avoid
chopping if possible. Leave 3 to
4 stalks per foot assuring 10000
or better stalks per acre fer ma
ximum yields.
8. CULTIVATION-Start early
but cultivate only as often as
necessary to control weeds Cul-
tivate shallow to avoid shedding
of squares and small bolls.
9. INSECT CONTROL-Follow

4. PREPARATION Prepare

row width up to AZ inches.
S. APPLY FERTILIZER Use
side placement equipment to ap-

is not available, apply fertilizer

practice green where 1t found
one of the nine cups.
Out of bounds, shoot another.
After the above tales made the
rounds OF the Wednesday after
noon gang yesterday at Manor
Country Club, Harry Pitt told~his
favorite golfing story on a men,
ber of the club.
1t was back in the days when
golfers got more mileage out OF
their golf balls, this particular
member showed up late for a
match, and in his haste brought
only one golf ball.
The lone pellet was, as the
boys say, potato. It was lop-
sided, cut and scratched and most
of the pant Was long since gone.
But Pitts playing partner decided
to use it the first nine and send
to the shop for more balls when
he reached the turn.
Although Manor's woods nine
is the tightest layout in town,
said golfer never strayed from
the fairway. He batted the
abused ball all around the first
nine, hitting straight shots and
dropping puts in professional
style.
At the ninth hole, however, he
sent his caddie to the shop to
buy three new balls. The caddle
was a little delayed and the
golfer had played the 10th hole
with the beatup ball before the
caddie caught up.
The 11th at Manor is a 150-
yard par three, with a good-sized
lake in front of the green. Pitts
playing partner took the cello
phane from one of the new balls
and, you guessed it. hit the ball
in the middle of the lake. He
took out another new ball. Same
thing. Then the old one, and 1t.
too, found the water, which Is
6 feet deep where he was hitting
them.
No, he didn't throw his club
nor rush to the edge OF the
lake and pitch bag and caddie
into the pond. He calmly picked
up his tee, strolled to the edge
of the lake and reached into his
pocket for the last new bail.
With a deft southpaw flip he
tossed the ball into the middle
of the lake, where 1t Joined the
others.
