Shade Trees Need Your Assistance

Those scorched brown leaves
and the increasing number Of
dead twigs and branches tell q
sad story. A story that has been
reported In headlines in many
newspapers this summer and
fall.
The drought was near record
In severity and length.
Undoubtedly many gardeners
lost azaleas. shrubs and peren-
malls before the rains came.
They can be replaced without
too much Of q drain on the
family purse. but It Is the loss
Of the shade trees. be they large
or small. that Is really serious.
We all want shade and q hand
some setting for the home and
the loss Of such trees Is bad
business.
Water Table Low
II Is in part our own fault
because most Of Us went about
watering the flowers and shrub
berry. figuring. ! guess. that the
trees could reach down deep
and get enough moisture from
the subsoll. Unfortunately the
scientists tel US that the water
table has been falling for some
years now. Maybe that Is the
reason. but ct any rate. we are
concerned with the health and
vigor Of our trees.
Nearly every year we read
about how the trees need feed
ing and other care to help them
recover from the drought's af-
fects. This year when we ind

We know they were hurt and
the big question Is what to do
about It. Watering such as we
can give Il not needed now since
we have had quite q bit Of rain
In the past 80 days. There Is
ample moisture In the surface
soil but II win take many more
rains to restore the subsoil
moisture.
In other words. the shallow
rooted trees are probably In q
soil zone that is well supplied
with moisture. but the deeper
rooted trees. the oaks, hickories.
etc.. may not be so well on. It Is
doubtful II anything can be
done to correct this situation,
except as Mother Nature does II.
Two Things 70 Do
Actually the home gardener
can only do two things at this
season to help his shade trees.
The first Is comparatively easy.

out dead wood.

acting fertilizers are best Ct
this time Of the year, preferably
those containing organic ma

IN feeding the trees.
Another way to figure the
amount Of plant food needed
for . tree Is Y pound for each

the level Of the ground.
HaFbOr Insects
Dead twigs and branches not
only harbor insects and dis
eases. but they also detract
from the beauty Of the tree. No
matter how small or how large,
they should be pruned OF flush
with the trunk so that the area
win heal over. Since this heal

the 100000 miles to the moon,
but also because the gravita-
tional pull of the earth, the

possibly that of Venus and

About 100 representatives of

A pig was reported to have
been killed in one of the tests,
but Col. John P. Stapp. head

The report detailed the tech
nical computations involved, but
gave no indications that any
such flights are to be attempted
soon.
The casebook included an
article published this year by
Prof. G. Chebotarev of the Len
ingrad Institute of Theoretical
Astronomy. Prof. Chebotarev
said his institute had already
calculated the trajectory for an
unguided rocket flight around
the moon and back to earth.
Doubts Human Flight
He said flights OF automatic
unguided rockets to the moon
and around the moon will be
the next step in the conquest
of interplanetary space" after
solving the launching of arti-
fetal earth satellites.
He expressed no doubt that a
small rocket containing some
living creature, a mouse or
guinea pig" could be sent on a
voyage to the moon, but said
that manned flight in such a
cosmic ship is impossible" The
weight of a vehicle that would
be required to contain a human
being on a 12-day round trip

require power and a quantity o.
fuel that would be out of the
question at present.
The scientist said that send
ing a small rocket ship around
the moon was entirely prac-
ticable because it would get its
motive power, except when
blasting off from the earth.

celestial bodies" including the
gravitational pull Of the moon
and the sun.
The trip each way would take
about five days. with another
two days of near zero speed at
the farthest point, around the

Calculates Time
The Russian article said the
institute had determined that
it would take about Is tons OF
fuel to impart a cosniic velocity
of 24,605 miles per hour to a
rocket shell which with its in
struments would weigh from
ITO pounds to 900 pounds. He
said that such a velocity would
be required to overcome the

From January 1 through May

2. Cigars with an established

8. COcOnut Oil with an estab-

Bright Future
For p. Copper

WASHINGTON-Th prediction
that the Philippines will become
the principal copper producing
country of the Far East is con-
tanned in a report by the former
chief of the mining division of the
U. S. foreign operations mission in
Manila. The report, which was
publicized in a United Press dis
patch from here last week, also
predicted that PHILIPPINE copper
production will more than double
in the next five years.
Other sections of the report,
which was transmitted last May
from the us. Embassy in Manila,
note that the Philippines has be-
come the second largest chromite
producing country in the world,
and describe developments favor
able to future production of iron
ore, nickel, petroleum and other
minerals in the islands.
The mining expert, Earl Irving,
states:
I'VE (the United States Opera
tions mission) have completed
systematic survey of Philippine
copper resources. A few years ago
the Philippines produced about 10
to II thousand tons of copper con-
tanned in 10 to so Thousand tons
of concentrates.
Present production has n ow
reached 10000 tons of copper con-
tanned in 125 thousand to $50
thousand tons of concentrates
From our present knowledge of
copper resources, we can safely
predict that during the next five
years, Philippine copper produc-
ton will ascend to between go and
rs thousand otns of copper annaul-
ly contained in 800 thousand tons
of concentrates.
From this information, it be-
comes obvious that the Phillip
pines will certainly become the
principal producing country of the
Far East in copper"
