Restore Trees to vieor
Trees that have been injured
by storms or weakened by dis
eases and insects should be fer
tilized once a year. preferably in
the spring. to restore them to
vigor and new growth.
The feeding may be done at
any time Of the year. preferably
In the winter or early spring.
Place the food in holes
punched or drilled to a 2-foot
depth at intervals or 2 or 3 feet
over the entire area covered by
the limb spread.
A pint to a quart Of organic
fertilizer is recommended for
each hole. The organic fertilizer
is slower in action and will not
injure the tender feeding roots.
If the situation is such that
holes cannot be made beneath
the tree, heavy surface feeding
will sometimes accomplish the
same objective. But this will re-
quire larger and more frequent
applications of fertilizer.
The home owner selecting
shade trees for planting might
well ask which kinds are least
subject to insects. diseases. and
storm damage. Space does not
permit Of a comprehensive dis
cussion Of shade trees for the
Washington area. However, the
following have most frequently
suffered and should be avoided:

It is a sorry situation"
 T publically defy anyone to prove acts of malfeasance while Mrs. Mears has been in office, Shaw stated. "The records prove this to be so and anyone desiring to ascertain the true facts have access to the city records.
