Weekly Tree Talk
Trends In Treess Plant Both Tail,
Small Specifies


Plant tree this sp.-ing. Plant the
best. Plant it properly. Urging this,
Don Cantwell. Area Manager of
the Bartlett Tree Expert Co. offers
this guide:
The trend in shade trees is to
diversity the species. mixing little
trees with big. Avoid fast grow
ing species (such as poplar and
catalpa). 1t is amazing how tall
an oak will grow In few years.
Shun brittle trees that break dur
ing a hurricane Don't plant trees
that clutter lawns with fruit
flowers and sluffed-off bark. Be
ware of trees whose root systems
clog drain pipes. Grass will do
poorly beneath dense shade trees
with shallow roots which compete
with turf. That is why the Nor
way maple is frowned upon as a
lawn tree.
Different trees have different
uses. For dense shade choose a
sugar maple, white oak, little leaf
linden, beach, American ash sc
horsechestnut. For medium shssde
pin oak, red oak, red maple. sour
gum, London plane white ash.
American Linden. For light, filtered
shade: American elm, thornless
honey lccust, gingko, English oak
or blackberry.
One tree should shade the west
and southwest side of a house
during the hot afternoons summer
sun. This acts as an air condi-
toner, may reduce room temper
atures IS degrees and lower ground
temperatures as much as 80 de-
grees. Other trees may be placed
where the shade or shield from
winters icy blasts does the most
good-on the front lawn, near a
terrace, play area or garden corner
Trees should also be selected for
height. Trees that reach so feet or
more at maturity include American
elm, white. req and scarlet oak
sugar maple, and tuliptree. Medium
sized trees (up to 80 feeti; red
maple, pin oak. sweet aad sour
gum, Yellowwood, gingko. white

linden. Small trees ito 80 feet) /.

nounced yesterday, the plan pays
without having the member pay the
first $50 Members affected thus
gain $50 in coverage.
Mr.. Denzler said this change Is
being made retroactive to Decem-
ber /, 1855. l@hen the plan was first
put into effect among membership
groups at Hercules Powder Com
pany and Group Hospital Service
Members who have had medical
;ervices for which they would
have been covered had the new
feature been in effect when they
obtained the extended coverage are
ssked to contact Group Hospital
Service.
MIR. Ienzier said change has
also been made in the x-ray cover
sge available under the new plan.
The trials so far indicate it is not
'easible to provide coverage for
80 per cent of x-ray charges over
$40 month, and this coverage has
been dropped in favor of the Blue
Cross-Blue Shield coverage, which
provides half the costs of x-rays
mp to s25 a year when consistent
with the condition for which the
member is being tested.
: Mr. Denzler said the plan may be
found to need other changes as
experience is gained. The object.

greatest coverage at the lowest
cost. he said.

Some Interesting Broiler
Feeding Experiments

Step up the calories in broiler
feed and you not only make broiler
chickens grow faster but they'll eat
less feed while doing it
AT least that's the conclusion
drawn by poultry research special
list Tom Runnels from feeding tests
completed recently at the Univer-
sity of Delaware gricultural Ex-
pertinent Station. He grew some
strains of broiler chickens to more
than 31s pounds weight at 5 weeks
of age on less than lbs. of feed
per bird.
The tests, in which animal fat
was added to a basic standard
broiler ration of $50 calories per
pound of feed. were started over
year ago. Galleries we're stepped
up to 1,100 per pound of feed by
the addition of beef tallow and
pork and lamb fats.
Birds used in the tests were
White Rock cockrels. Runnels said
that if straight-run chicks of both
sexes had been used that the birds
would still have averaged over
- lbs. weight at s weeks. They were
ready for market about | to 2 weeks
earlier than most broilers grown
commercially on the Delmarva
peninsula and used up to lbs. less
feed per bird than the best COM
mercial growers now need TO grow
birds to lb. weight.
Runnels pointed Cut that the
feed used in the experiments cost
about SO a ton more than most
commercial brOiler feedN now sold
so that the savings from teez.s
more than most commercial broiler
feeds now sold so that the savings
from the high-energy feed itself
were not too appreciate. The real
savings from it's use, he saiS were
the savings in time, housing and
labor in being able to market the
birds at an earlier age.
About 1870 fat was actually. added
to the experimental feed, Runnels
reported. He cautioned that such
high-fat rations are still in the
experimental stage however feeu
manufacturers can boost fat con-
tent in their formulas to 5 or 79a
with present mixing methods. he
said, hut considerable research in
mixing problems will be needed be-
fore they can get as hign as 1879.
Not only do such high-fat diets
present mixing problems, Runnels,
said, but they require changing
other ingredients in the feed to
rive the flock a properly balanced
diet. AS one eample, he mentioned
that corn gluten meal had to be
odded to high-fat ration so that
the diet would produce enough yell
low color in the dressed birds to
~atisfy consumer preference.

Group Hospital Service, Inc, af-
ter four months of experience with
their experimental plan of extended
coverage has announced some
changes in benefits in the pro-
gram originally offered. At the
same time. the organization an
nounced it is ready to extend the
program to additional groups.
The new program of extended
health benefits being offered by
Group Hospital Service has been
liberalized through the elimination
of a $50 deductible feature which
formerly applied to payments for
medical care following hospitaliza-
ton.
The change was announced yes
terday by Robert C. Denzler, assis-
tant managing director of the Blue
Cross Blue Shield organization, who
said the new program is being
tried and tested to determine wne-
ther its benefits meet the needs of
BIueCross-B Blue Shield Dlembers.
and whether the rates are the low
est which can be charged to cover
those benefits.
The extended health benefits
program is designed to help meet
the costs of long term Illness like
cancer and heart disease. major
accidents, and operations with lonP
recovery periods. 1t provides two
years of coverage for all the reg
uiar Blue Crnss-Blue Shield bene-
fits and adds many new benefits
