Advise Tree Growers
On Pruning Plans

Forest plantation owners who eX-
poet to thin some of their trees for
sale at Christmas and commercial
tree growers are being advised By
foresters to prune the trees IN
their plantation to gain maximum
symmetry and business. The Mary
land Christmas Tree Growers AS
ISOLATION advises that the period
from now through the middle OF
July is the best time to prune Red,
White and Scotch pines Pines
pruned during this period produce
new buds where cut is made, and
after several prunings a high quail
ty tree will develop. Hedge shears
are normally used for the operation
which begins when the terminal or
top leader is cut back to 10 or II
inches. The remaining lateral Or
side branches are then cut to con-
form. Care should be taken to cut
only in the new growth. Short
needed conifers like Spruce and
Fir are pruned during the dormant
season from late fall until early
spring.
Tree growers desiring further in
formation on shearing or pruning
are asked to contact R. Thomas
Thayer, Jr,, Assistant District For
ester, at the Court House in Oak
land.

Hospital Now Using
Own Water System

The Garrett County Memorial
hospital is now using its own water
system and will no longer be de-
pendent upon the town for its
supply.
Work was started about two
months ago to provide the build
ing and storage tank necessary. A
block building 10 by 20 feet was
constructed in rear of the hospital
with hospital labor 1t houses a
$500 gallon water tank.
The we'll was one dug several
years ago by the town but never
used to any extent. 1t is 365 feet
deep and was cleaned out and a
test made by the county health de-
partment
The well furnishes SO gallons per
minute and the hospital uses on an
average of 400 gallons per hour.
A ten horsepower deep we'll pump
is used to force the water into the
storage tank and from there it is
forced through the hospitals water
system.
The new water was put into the
lines yesterday afternoon.
Henry w. McComas, adminiStra-
tor, said it would take about four
and one-half years to depreciate
the cost of the system, after which
time it would save the hospital
about $500 per month.

and logging roads are being To-
Gated with certain maximum grades
and sterilization of such trails.
There is reforestation of critically
washing areas as we'll as abandoned
farm land. The overall program is
also designed to increase the water
holding capacity of the soil and re-
duce the immediate runoff of the
watersheds.
