Are Dwarf Fruit Trees
The Thing For Home
Gardens?

Increased knowl dge and know
how has made the. dwarf fruit trees
a better bet for home gardens than
they used to be, says VIM. H. Hen
derson, County Agricultural Agent
He says the home gardner must
be willing to take care of the trees
This means spraying and stake tc
hold the trees upright.
: The gardner interested in plant
ing dwarf apple trees should be
sure he is getting true dwarfs
Henderson warns. To be sure, ash
for Mailing TX or Clark Dwarf.
Trees which are semi-dwarfeG
will be too large to spray with hand
equipment, Henderson said.
To be sure you have dwarf trees
look for large swelling of the
tree trunk about 2 to 10 inches
above the ground level on the Mall
ing TX and about to "a inches on
the Clark Dwarf.
Dwarfs tend to sucker profusely
and should not be allowed to
branch at or below the swelling
on the trunk.
Dwarfs can be spaced as close as
10 feet apart, Henderson says, but
mixed varieties will vary in size
and make rather ragged effect as
far as looks are concerned if you
plan a dwarf orchard" in reg
ular pattern.
Both the Mailing TX and Clark
dwarf are apple trees but dwarf
trees are also available for pears
and peaches.
If you are interested in dwarf
trees, Henderson suggests that you
place your order with a reputable
nursery. They will deliver in the
fall or spring at the proper time
for planting.

exchange teacher of agriculture
in Rangoon, Burma for one

Housing Of New
Fire Equipment
Here Attended By
Crowd OF 1000

The significance of the hous-
ing ceremony, one of the oldest
traditions of volunteer fire COM
panies, was emphasized by Gov.
j. Caleb Boggs at the program,
attended by an estimated crowd
of 1000 persons, held by the
Citizens Hose Company Thurs
day evening. Gov. Boggs noted
that the new equipment repre-
sented the confidence and sup
port of the community. E. Rey-
nolds Bradley was master of
ceremonies. In keeping with the
old tradition that the housing
be done by a neighboring COM
pany, members of the Clayton
Fire Company pushed the new
LaFrance fire truck and the res
cue truck into the fire house
with their hands, under the di-
rection of their chief, j. George
Knots. Fred F. Harris, Jr., pres
ident, gave the address of well
come. DR.. Thomas c. Mulligan,
Georgetown, in the housing adj
dress, contrasted the rivalry of
fifty years ago between fire
companies with the present, and
said that this is the day of CO.
operation. Listing among the
obiectives of the volunteers the
prevention of fires, finding lost
children, disaster aid, flood re-
lief, taking cats out of trees, he
said that firemen "have to pay
for the privilege of serving, and
have to work to raise money"
He said that they need the sup
port of the state Legislature and
deplored the paid lobbyists who
block legislation. Greetings were
extended by Mayor George M.

Help Us Help You
Is Call AS Firemen
Open Fund Drive
Led By +. Harris

The annual fund raising
drive of the Citizens Hose
Company started yesterday and
teams composed of volunteer
firemen and members of the
Ladies Auxiliary will ride on
fire engines throughout the
town soliciting donations. A
slogan is found in the letter
which had been sent out pre-
viously to all of the residents
of the vast area covered by the
local firemen: by making a
contribution to the fire COM
pany-it will help us help you. "
Work in the rural areas has
been assigned to volunteers
who will canvass in pairs. The
committee expressed the hope
that all citizens will be ready
with their contribution so that
there will be no need for call
backs. Since its inception on
January 6, 1886, the volunteer
organization has adequately
supplied Smyrna and the dis
trict it serves with the neces-
sary men, equipment, and skill
to combat fires. Today, the
volunteers say, these facilities
are ready and waiting to serve
in the event of an emergency.
The letter notes that the annual
budget is figured at $4,000
per year. However, this year
a new pumper and a rescue
truck were added to the facil-
tiles at cost of $4,000 and
has greatly increased the debt
They point out the urgent need
for the peoples support. The
list of facilities ready include
a well-trained crew of firemen;
four modern and well-equipped
fire trucks, one new rescue
truck; the fire house, always
ready for use as an emergency
center; and the H. H. Senger
tank wagons for hauling water
to rural fires. Pertinent ques-
tions asked are: did you know
that if it were not for your fire
company your fire insurance
premiums would be one and
one-half times higher?" and
IF each family in the area
would contribute ten dollars
per year the company could
meet its obligations and pro
vide more service" The drive
is being conducted under the
leadership of Fred Harris, Jr.
chairman, Gordon Miller
Fletcher TruaX, and James
Truax, members of the finance
committee.

The Vocational Agriculture
program at Smyrna High School
has no summer vacation. One of
the principal aims of vocational
agriculture in the Smyrna Spec
ial School District is to develop
a supervised farming program
for each boy enrolled which will
enable him to start and make
satisfactory progress in farm
ing. This is accomplished by
having each boy carry at least
one supervised farming project
on his home farm, and to en-
courage him to increase the
number and scope of these pro-
iects each year. Naturally, this
is a year-round program. In or
der to meet the needs of the
students, the school district en-
ploys the director of the "Vo-
Ag" program, Harvey L. Price,
Jr., on full year basis. To
carry out this program of year.
round work, Mr.. Price spends
the greater part of his time dur
ing the summer months visiting
the Vo-Ag boys, checking and
supervising their project work.
These on-the-farm visits also
enable the teacher to confer
with the parents and get to
know them better; to 60 over
future plans concerning the
farm program with both the stu
dent and the parents; to survey
for class and shop problems;
and to give individual inStruc-
ton to the boys concerned. On
four of these summer vista
tions a photographer went along
to show our readers some of the
students in their project work.
You will note that the projects
cover a very wide range of farm
