D. c. Typos Home With Title
Which Long EIuded Them.

The Union Printer baseballers
aren't even in the local sandlot
baseball championship this week
having failed to win in their own
league, the Departmental. But
you can have such minor baubles,
say the Typos-they are INTER-
NATIONAL champions.
Composing rooms around town
were little slow getting organ
ICED for work this morning as
the boys who went to New York
last week were telling the stay
at-homes all about how the local
nine won the Union Printers in
ternational championship. 1t had
been eight years since Washing
ton had won a crown it used to
take with regularity.
The local boys cleaned up in
the week-long tourney with a 20-5
triumph over Detroit on Saturday
morning and then polished of
New York, Ito. in the afternoon
final. 1t wasn't that the other
teams were weak, say the returned
champs, it just was that Wash
ington was very good last week
Apparently the Typos had been
saving themselves all season for
this tourney and had not been
bothering too much about what
happened in the Departmental
League.
What made the difference If
Washington's favor was extremely
good pitching. The other citie'
for the most part had good club!
except in pitching, and Washing
ton had Harry Wolfe. Wolfe, &

Farmers Get Sharp
Cut in Income

American farmers received 18
per cent less for farm products
last month than for August a year
ago, and are expected to receive
about the same amount less this
month, according to the Bureau
Of Agricultural Economics.
The bureau said farmers cash
receipts from marketings in Au-
gust were $2,200,000, 900. or 1s
per cent less than a year ago.
Cash receipts this month are ex-
pected to be $2,500, 900 900, also 1s
per cent less than a year ago.
Receipts for the first nine

omitted without injury to the tree
A further refinement in pro.
viding for aeration is to remove
the sod or other vegetable matter
from the area under the branches
before spreading gravel but do not
cut 50 deeply as to injure the
roots. The soil should then be
cultivated and an application OF
plant food spread. The quantity
OF fertilizer used will depend upon
the size of tree. Normally,
pounds Of fertilizer per inch OF
trunk diameter, when measured 8
feet above ground level, will be
adequate. For conifers and other
evergreens this quantity should be
cut in half.
The removal Of dead and in
jured branches and the painting
Of cuts with a good tree dressing
Is part Of the job.
A careful check should be main
tanned for several years after the
job is done for signs indicating
distress. Common signs are: Un-
dersized leaves. lack Of normal
color. willing Of twigs and droop-
ing leaves. stunted twig growth,
unusual loss Of small branches
and twigs, new shoots along the
trunk and scaling Of bark. When
these are observed additional
pruning may be desirable, al
though feeding df not done at the
time Of grading) and watering
may be sufficient.

How to Save Trees on Regrades
Only Valuable Plants Are Worthy Job,
But Aeration Will Prevent Loss
BY Wilbur n. Yount
Gordsn Editor

A few weeks ago, In a Lovely
wooded area. a bulldozer was busy
cutting roads and leveling ths
ground. Now. many Of the tree.
show the destructive effects o1
having either their roots tori
ruthlessly or Of having them
deeply buried. 1t is hoped that
prospective buyers will note. the
condition of the trees. Trees are
valuable. It takes many years to
grow them. They add to the value
Of property and should be pro-
tected.
Ground can be graded about q
tree, If that is necessary, without
killing the tree. but it must be
done with care and with a full
understanding of the various steps
to be taken.
It is not intended to imply that
all trees where grade changes are
being made should be protected
Only healthy trees in a desirable
location deserve this effort. Even
then 1t is advisable to weigh the
relative costs Of protection and OF
replacing the trees. II q tree OF
trees are to be protected the fol-
lowing methods are normally en-
ployed.
Planning Prevents Losses.
Most people realize that you
cannot destroy a considerable pro-
portion of the root system without
seriously injuring the tree. How
ever, if some roots must be re-
moved a portion of the top should
be removed at the same time to
maintain a balance. Also 1t is
desirable to make provisions to
supply both moisture and plant
food as necessary so that the root
system will not be overburdened
during periods Of unfavorable
growing conditions.
Careful advance planning often
makes it possible to keep the root
disturbance to q minimum. For
trees growing on slope 1t may
be possible to develop q nat near
the tree by making a cut above
the tree and a fill below. Another
method is to erect q dry wall some
little distance below the tree and
I'LL in the intervening space with
soil. While this will tend to
smother the buried roots, 1t does
provide an area In which q new
root system will develop within q
few years.
The more common problem
comes with filling in the yard to
raise it to a higher level. Few
home owners know or realize that
tree roots, depending upon the
kind Of tree, normally develop at
q relatively fixed depth. where
sufficient air Is available. Any
change in the depth therefore
modif1es the air supply and affects
their well-being.
II the level is to be raised more
than . few inches, s inches fo1

then some provision for roo
aeration will be necessary. Aera.
ton for the roots is provided first
by laying several strings Of til.
g or 4-inch tile is large enough)
which radiate out from the tree
like the spokes Of a wheel. Ir
deep nils these are connected BY
one or more circular rows of tile
placed below the outer tips of the
branches. The ends Of the strings
Of tile near the trunk of the tree
are embodied in the walls of the
tree well. The strings Of tile
should be laid 50 as to carry all
moisture away from the tree
trunk. A. slope Of / inch in 10
feet is usually sufncient but can
be reduced in sandy soils and in
creased in wet soils.
The entire area is then covered
with a thick layer of coarse
gravel. The depth will vary ac-
cording to the depth Of the I'LL.
lit is a I'LL of 2 feet or less a r.
inch layer Of gravel will suffice.
For deeper fllls the layer Of gravel
should be increased up to az feet,
1t is usually necessary with deep
f1lls to put in . number Of tile
stacks between the buried lines
and the surface. These are usually
necessary for large trees even
though the total I'LL may be only
or 2 feet in depth.
A layer of small gravel, weeds,
straw, or other material should
then be spread over the coarse
gravel to prevent soil washing in
and closing the air spaces. The
stacks should next be capped to
prevent their being filled with dirt
during the final filling operation.
Good top soil (when available) is
desirable for the I'LL since it is
more likely to be moisture reten-
tive and to support q good turf
than poor soil.
Fill Stacks with Pebbles.
When the MI has been COM
pleted the stacks should be un-
capped and filled with large peb-
bles which will permit the en-
trance Of air but keep out ami
mails. The tree we'll" should be
finished and In most cases it is
desirable to use q shallow layer Of
coarse gravel in the bottom to
prevent animals entering the tile
lines. Occasionally, the mixing Of
charcoal with the gravel in the
well may be desirable to prevent
the growth Of moss and sour soil
plants. However. If the I'LL is
about a confer the use of char
coal and all forms Of lime should
be avoided.
Where supplies Of suitable
gravel are available conical piles
Of it may be substituted for the
tile stacks. In q few instances q
gravel fill has been successfully
used in place Of the tree well.
And, on especially well drained
soils. the tile lines have been
