The English clergyman thought
his venture in America as a mis-
sionary to the Indians in the
Georgia colony was a failure, but
it was the kind of failure which
opened the door to the discovery
of a religious certainty he had
been seeking.
Furthermore, this discovery, in
which John Wesley felt his
"heart strangely warmed" led
him to face mobs unafraid, and
to ride 100000 miles on horse
back, changing the masses of
English people from a low state
of moral degradation to sturdy
and happy uprightness.

cry stock is best for most decidu-

one-year-old plants are entire

the best survival is obtained from
young stock. Usually this stock
is a little less expensive, and is
the best to select where economy

a major portion of its root Sys-
tenn. This material as it comes
from a nursery usually has a
severely reduced root system, and
the top of the plant should be
cut back accordingly to compen-
safe for this loss of roots. At
ter such material is cut back, it
does not appear much bigger than
young nursery stock, so not
much is gained in using this old
er stock.
Evergreens are usually sold
balled and burlapped. That is,
the root system with a generous
ball of soil, is wrapped in a
burlap covering and tightly Sc
cured. Young lining out material,
such as that used for planting
hedges, may come bare root. Ev-
ergreens can be moved even UP
to very large prizes providing
they are moved with much of
the soil and root system intact.
The only limitation in NOV
ing even very large evergreens
is equipment.
1t is important when hand
ling evergreen stock to see that
the ball of earth is not broken
up, and it should not at any time
be permitted to dry out. If the
ball of soil has been broken or
the soil appears dried out, refuse
to buy such a plant. Examine
the foliage and upper parts of
the plant carefully and see that
the needles are soft and pliable,
and not dry and falling off. Do
not remove the burlap covering
from the roots until you are
ready to plant.
In planting deciduous or ev-
ergreen stock, make the planting
holes deep enough and wide
enough to accommodate the root
system without crowding. The
plant may be placed an inch or
two below its original level. Use
good topsoil to fill the planting
hole. Place the plant roots in
the planting hole and gradually
fill with this topsoil, tamping it
in firmly so that no air pockets
develop. In handling evergreens,
place the ball of soil, with bur-
lap intact, into the planting hole.
AS soon as it is positioned
properly, loosen the burlap and
push it to the base of the plant
ing hole and leave it there to
rot. Fill up the planting hole
to the surface. Make sure the
soil is well firmed around the
tree roots as the soil is filled
to the top. Leave a depression
or basin around the base of the
plant so that water will be held
and not be permitted to run
off.
Water the newly planted
shrubs or trees thoroughly. If
soil is used to fill the
planting hole, no additional fer
may be necessary. If fer
tility needs to be improved, a
amount of ammonium
phosphate Incorporated in the
soil will help. Deciduous plants
should be cut back somewhat, but
do not trim the e~vergreens.

gomery County teachers a $40C
increase in 1857.
On a State wide basis, teachers
will fight for a $400 increase as
proposed by the Maryland Board
of Education. The pay scale pro-
posal is expected to set off the
hottest fight in the 1857 session
Of the General Assembly.
January Decision
The Montgomery Board, which
in November won voter approval
of a Speeded-up budget schedule
sought by the teachers, must
make its decision in January on
the 1857 pay scale. while the
legislature is unlikely to act on
boosting State aid to the county
until sometime in March or April.
The quality of Montgomery
County teachers arose at the
when Willard McGraw
a resolution calling
for COMMUNICATIVE help in en-
listing better teachers for the
county system.
His resolution called excessive
the percentage of teachers not
returning to Montgomery County
schools and the number of teach
ers who are on temporary or
emergency certificates. He said
1t was vital. to enroll more we'll
trained and experienced teach
ers. His resolution was approved
without a dissenting vote.
