FAN Feeding of Trees

Home grounds trees are going
to need more help this Fall than
they have in many years. The
soaring heat late this Summer has
badly depleted the growing vigor
Of woody landscape friends. This
has been reflected in premature
leaf fall and sagging vitality
partly because hundreds of munic-
ipalities were forced to curtail
sprinkling. To rebuild declining
health, prompt tree feeding of ar
boreal pets is important. L. F.
Irvine, field representative of the
Davey Tree Expert Co., says city
and suburban trees, even though
denuded, will absorb nutrients for
weeks to come.
That's because roots remain ac-
tive long after trees seem dormant.
They'll gulp UP victuals provided
sufficient moisture dissolves the
fertilizer. If Fall rains are infre-
Smyrna times., 1953-10-22

quent, keep the garden hose handy
for use.
Fortunately, woodland trees do
not suffer as much from drought
as their city cousins. They are
protected by natural moisture-re-
tanning mulches and have the bene-
fit of organic fods, such as decay
ing leaves, denied home grounds
trees sitting on manicured lawns.
The city tree should be served
its blue-plate special in the form
of tree food high in nitrogen con-
tent. This fertilizer is applied by
the time-honored perforation meth
cd, meaning the punching Of holes
in he soil over the entire root area.
Holes may range in depth from IL
to 18 inches, depending upon To-
Gale. Peat moss and other humus
materials should be used to fill the
deep holes after the special tree
food dosage has been applied.
Roots generally extend at least as
far as the branch spread.

OHIO BUCKEYE

Buckeye state, Ohio. This does not
mean that Ohio Buckeyes are
found only in Ohio. On the con-
trary they range naturally from
southern Pennsylvania to northern
Alabama and west of Iowa, ,Nebras-
ka and Missouri. They have been
and are being planted successfully
as ornamentals and as shade trees
over wider areas of the earth.
The Ohio Buckeye is a tree that
reaches height of 20 feet. 1t
may have trunk diameter of 2
feet. The twigs are coarse but not
so coarse as those of the Horse
Chestnut to which the tree is close
ly related. The winter buds of
Ohio Buckeye are not sticky as are
those of the Horse Chestnut. The
leaves are opposite, compounded of
5 to z leaflets each to about 6
inches long and joined to COM
mon base. The ptiole of the leaf
between the stem and the leaflets
may be about 6 inches long, these
measurements being in general
smaller than hose found in the
Horse Chestnut, whose native land
is Greece. The trees tend to turn
brown in late summer and then
begin to shed their leaves.
Ohio Buckeye bear loose, open
flower clusters in April or May.
The flowers are yellow, to 11a
inches long and in terminal clust-
ers that may be to inches long.
In the flowers, the stamens are
conspicuously incurved. The flow
ers remain conspicuous for a short
time only. Uollination is probably
effected by the work of bees.
The fruits, like the twigs, leaves
and flowers of the Ohio Buckeye,
are smaller than those of the Horse
Chestnut. In the Ohio Buckeye
they are about 11a inches in di-
ameter, and instead of having per-
sistently prickly surfaces, are
prickly only when young. The
seeds within the fruit are large and
brown resembling small Horse
Chestnuts.
While the most important use
of Ohio Buckeye is as an orna-
mental tree, some use is made of
the wood. The wood is white at
first, weak, coarse-grained and
soft. 1t decays easily unless kept
exceptionally dry. The sapwood to
the depth of approximately 10 an
nual layers of wood is dark.
The wood when dry weights
about % pounds to the cubic foot
as contrasted with White Oak that
weighs about 46 lbs. to the cubic
foot or Cottonwood that weighs
about "a pounds per cubic foot. 1t
is about equal in weight to hat of
Black Willow or Balsam Fir or
Norway Spruce. 1t lacks most of
the desirable characters that make
some of the spruces of equal
weight valuable.
Like most trees the Ohio Buck
eye tends to winterkill in the
northern areas of it's normal range.
When planted north of this range
winterkilling may result in MAX
ing deformed and unsightly tree.
This of course reduces popularity.
However, where the climatic and
soil conditions are right the tree
may develop into a beautiful orna-
mental. AS such it deserves the
care and attention it gets though I
personally am glad hat the mem
Der of the genus hat grew near my
boyhood home was the larger-seed-
ed Horse Chestnut.

Faith in the future of East

Church. They have decided to
raise 100000 for a new educa-

and aided by their architects, Carr

The presentation made by Mr..
Beatty as a report of this survey
was unique. It's reception by the

included colored slides, first of the

followed by slides of floor plans

Educators
Defer Vote
On Survey

The Board of Education at its
first meeting of the New Year
held Monday evening, deferred ac-
tion on a request for a religious
survey of high school pupils, pend
ing information as to the legality
of conducting such a survey in the
schools.
The survey request came from
the East Cleveland Ministers AS
sociation, working with the Cleve-
land Church Federation and the
Roman Catholic Diocese. Accord
ing to the communication, similar
requests are being made in all high
schools of the county. The COM
munication further stated that the
groups want to have "factual in
formation regarding church rela-
tionship of high school age young
people in our community"
Opposition to the census was ex-
pressed by Frank Baldau, Kenneth
Marvin and Sheldon Clark, as well
as by Mrs. Stuart Cummins and
Mrs. J. Wade price. The coHcensus
of the objection was that the
school is not the place in which
to take a religious census
The Board voted to become mem
bers of the North East School
Board Association. The organiza-
ton of which Mr.. Jack Stewart of
Bedford is the president, provides
boards an opportunity to consider
common problems, and to keep in
touch with matters of common in
terest which may come before the
legislature.
The designations of Franklin
Wallace, fireman at the wagon
wheel and Guillio Antenucci, a
custodian, were received. Appointed
custodians Verne Dougherty at
Rozelle School and VIM. Schill at
Caledonia School.
