precautions are taken in planting,
they should survive. Good drain
age is a must. Trees planted in
heavy clay soils will drown before
spring unless drainage is provid-
ed.
The young tree should be plant
ed in a hole at least Is inches
deep and wider than the roots, to
allow for root spread. Then the
hole should be filled with a mix
ture Of earth and peat moss-not
earth alone. Three parts soil and
one part peat moss thoroughly
premixed makes good planting
medium.
Pruning is another important
step. All damaged or broken
branches and a portion of the
good ones should be trimmed.
Broken or injured roots also
should be cut before the tree is
placed in the earth-peat moss
mixture.

Offers Suggestions
On Ladder Safety

Every farm has many uses for
ladders of several different kinds
step, straight, and extension.
And because ladders become in
volved in many accidents, County
Agent George Vapaa lists the fol-
lowing dos and don't's of ladder
safety
The DOS:
Select right ladder for the job
and set it properly before climb
ing.
Tie or have someone hold lad
der when used where it is likely
to slip.
Face ladder when either ascend
ing or descending.
Work facing ladder and hold on
with one hand.
Hook leg over rung if necessary
to work with both hands.
Store ladders where they can be
secured quickly in case of fire or
other emergency.
Make sure step ladder is fully
spread and locked with all four
legs resting on level base before
using.
Select step ladders high enough
to permit standing at least two
steps from top when working.
The DON'T's:
Never overload ladder; it is
built to carry only one person at
a time.
Avoid using makeshift climbing
aids or ladders too short for the
job.
Never over-reach when working
on a ladder; take time to move it.
Don't climb a ladder when shoes
are covered with snow, mud or
grease.
Never Use ladder at fiat angle
or in horizontal position. 1t can
easily be overloaded in this po-
sition.
Never drop a ladder; it is easily
damaged.
Never leave a ladder standing
where it may fall or tempt chill
dren to climb.
Never carry bulgy tools or ma
terials when ascending or de-
scending ladder.

ment Association, points out The
job can be done with temporary
steel posts and barbless Is gauge
copper-coated steel wire.
Set the posts 45 to so feet
apart and use a good insulator,
Merrill advises. The copper-coat-
ed wire is cheap, durable, and
easy to handle. Such a fence
costs about $40 per mile. You
can operate it for 10 cents worth
of electricity per month.
Figure the height Of the fence
at two-thirds the height Of the
animals on pasture. You need
only one wire 80 to 36 inches
above the ground to hold dairy
cattle.
Use only an approved controller
unit. Homemade controllers may
be dangerous. Put the controller
out of doors only when it has a
waterproof case. A dry and clean
location inside is best-such as a
machine shed or farm shop.
BE sure to ground the controller
with a 5s-inch copper rod or a
24-inch galvanized pipe driven at
least eight feet into the ground.
Connect the controller to the
ground with a No. 8 copper wire.

Another School
Auditor Urged

Appointment Of an additional
Arlington school administration
auditor is recommended in the
annual county audit report re-
leased today. The school adj
ministration said later that
funds for the new position will
be included in the next budget
request.
The auditors, Murray & Brown
Of Arlington. said in their report
to the County Board covering
the fiscal year ended June 80,
1855:
"In our opinion the account
ing department Of the school
administration, due to staff linn
itations, is not sufficiently re-
viewing transactions prior to
their recording, nor maintaining
adequate subsidiary records. 1t
is felt that there is insufficient
examination by the accounting
department of the activities
which are not specifically in
cluded In the present internal
audit program.
1--WE suggest that In order to
effect q better control Of re-
corded transactions and facili-
tate their subsequent audit the
school board consider the pos
sibility Of appointing an addi-
tional internal auditor, or an as
sistant to the chief accountant. "
the report said.
The auditors said Of the school
board internal audit program,
established last year, that Its
intent has been substantially
carried out"
In another section of the docu-
ment, County Treasurer Colin c.

his continued high percentage Of

lent condition Of his records"

ment Of Finance, the report said,

tected. :"
