Water EYergreens Now And Add
A Good Mulch
Years ago farmers said winter
freezes never came until ponds
were filled. This is not necessarily
so. Rainfall records il recent
years show that droughts can oc-
cur in winter as well as summer.
Evergreens on home grounds
should go into winter with ample
moisture. In some areas hard hit
by last summers drought there
still isn't sufficient soil water to
adequately tide conifers and ever
green's through the winter.
In these places, says Don Can't
well, District Manager of the Bart
lett Tree Expert Co., give ever
green's - C lu d n g foundation
plantings-a good soaking drink
of water from hose before the
ground freezes. Then add mulch
of wood chips, sawdust, peat moss,
spagnum moss, compost or similar
material. Mulches prevent exces-
siye temperature fluctuation of the
soil in winter and summer. Keep
the mulch an inch or two away
from the trunkline; otherwise 1t
becomes a winter haven for mice
and other, bark-girdling rodents.
CankerwOrms Moths Defy Cold To
Lay Eggs On Trees Now
Grayish inch-long moths may be
seen now fitting through leafless
trees or attracted to porch and
window lights at night. They spell
tree troubles next spring for they
are adults of the Fall Canker-
worm, according to Don Cantweu, !,
District Manager of the Bartlett
Tree Expert Co.
Every year in late November or
early December the first cold Wea-
ther shocks the moths out of their
cocoons in the soil. The adults fit
about. The wingless female moths
crawl up tree trunks.
Within days clusters of eggs will
be placed in neat little black bands
around twigs. Next spring as many
as 100000 little green caterpillars
will emerge from each mass and
begin nibbling on newborn leaves.
When an infection is heavy, an en-
tire tree may be defoliated by the
end of May.
Home owners who see canker-
worm moths in December should
paste reminder in their garden
ing hat to have their trees sprayed
next spring just as the leaves are
unfolding.
