Weekly Tree Talk
Use Rod And Spare Tree Before
Lightning Strikes


Homes have been set afre this
year by lightning. Insurance un-
derwriters recommend installation
Of lightning rods.
Tall trees growing near houses
and buildings may be lightning
targets, too. These also can be
protected from lightning, Turing
close-by bolts away from houses.
A tree can easily be converted
into a giant lightning rod, accord
ing to Donald Cantwell, District
Manager of the Bartlett Tree Ex-
pert Co. Simply run loosely WOW
en- copper mesh cable from the
highest point of the tree down the
trunk, and ground it deep in the
earth beyond the branch spread.
Lightning striking such a tree
is carried harmlessly away.
The taller the tree the more apt
it is to be struck by lightning.
Some trees are more lightning
susceptible than others. The oak
is the most susceptible of all, fol-
lowed in this order by the elm,
ash, tulip, poplar, pine, maple, and
sycamore. No one knows just why.
but the beech appears safest OF all.
But don't tempt fate. Never seek
refuge under amy tree during a
thunderstorm.

Care for Tools

A smart gardener takes good
care Of his tools, knowing that
they'll last longer and give better
service if they are clean.
Scrape dirt from the metal
parts of all gardening tools, then
wash them with hot soap suds.
Dry them carefully, coat the
metal with a light film of lubri-
eating oil to prevent rusting and
hang them up until the next
time they are needed.
