Mulch Big Need For Transplant

Windswept slopes, beautiful in
summer, are killers of trees and
shrubs in winter.
The exposed areas allow the
wind to blow away protective COW

mulches and for frost to go deep

Transplanted trees and ever
greens that need more water are
especially vulnerable, warns HON.
er L. Jacobs, research director of

of transplanted trees will grow
throughout the winter if the soil
is warm enough.

The snowstorm on Friday re-
minded us of the troublesome
days that were experienced on the
Chestertown Branch back in 1905.
A big snowstorm had tied up that
line of railroad completely, leav-
ing everything at a standstill. A
crew of snow shovelers were car
ried to that part of the country
and it took four days to open the
line. In some places, for instance,
the deep cut at KennedyviIle, was
chock full of snow and it was
most difficult to dig out. The cut
was fifty or sixty feet deep and
was a mile long. 1t was a big
task to clear the road as soon as
possible. For nine days the crew
was kept busy trying to open the
clogged line. The men in this
work were from Clayton and as
the train brought them from
Chestertown to Clayton, the set
of men loudly sang, 81 shall know
Him." they being religious men.
Jokes are not always jokes as
two men found out when they
tried to scare a fellow resident
who lived close to them in the
country. The two men had plan
ned to frighten the unsuspecting
fellow, who happened to be a
tailor by trade. One moonlight
night they led him to Noxentown
pond, where he was supposed to
dig for a pot of gold. While the
victim and a pal were digging
another pal in some bushes near
by shot a gun, and the tailor, the
victim of the plot, made a break
for home, and is reported to have
knocked down a few fences as he
wildly dashed for home. The men
who planned this rude scheme had
to pay the doctors bill for atten-
ton to the injured tailor wrich

STAYED in bed for three months,
being disabled from the wierd ex-

A snowstorm of blizzard pro-
portions swept over this territory
on Thursday night and when it
had finished the ground had a
white mantle to the depth of five
inches. Sleds were gotten out in
a hurry and the army of sledders
had a gay time as the aftermath
Naturally the snow brought JOY
to the young people, who had
longed for days for a good sled
ding snow. And so it came at
last to satisfy them. For a time
it was difficult to travel over the
roads, but by 10 am. the high
ways had been opened to permit
normal traffic. It was the first

Occasional sunshine increases
loss of water from leaves of ever
greens, moisture which can not
be replaced from frozen ground.
So a protective root cover at this
time can prove important for the
trees survival.
A mulch of hay, straw, peat
moss, sawdust, wood chips or even
snow will frequently help thaw
out a new layer of frozen earth.
