Farm And City Alters
Share Projects

Timeworn distinctions between
farm and city cousins are rapidly
disappearing, say rural soc1olo-
gists. Another fusion taking place
is in All Clubs In this state as in
virtually every other state, nom
farm All boys and girls are carry
ing many of the same projects as
their counterparts living on farms,
, according to the Cooperative Ex-
tension Service.
Two examples are the electric
and entomology projects. Every
household at one time or another
has need of simple electrical re-
pairs on iron cords, switches, fans,
wall outlets, small motors and the
like. Made-to-order items such as
lamps always find favor with mo-
ther, while converting man-made
energy to electrical energy makes
many chores easier. These are but
a few things that Alters learn to
do and demonstrate in the electric
project.
The entomology program often
starts Alters in an exciting hobby
like collecting butterflies, and
identifying rare or indigenous
species of insects. They also learn
to recognize helpful as we'll as
harmful ones.
Whether club members cultivate
small gardens or vast acres they
can apply this knowledge to grow
ing better vegetables, flowers,
fruits and grains. Pets and farm
animals are benefited, too.
With the help of county Exten-
sion agents, local volunteer All
leaders, and junior leaders the
young people "learn by doing"
Across the nation some $4,000
club members are presently en-
rolled in the electric project, while
jealous bug hunters number
around $4,000.
Hard work and noteworthy ach-
ievement in both of these under
takings do not go unrecogniZed.
County, state and national awards
are provided by leading business
concerns. They consist of medals
Of honor, trips to the National All
Congress in Chicago, and $400 col
lege scholarships.
Westinghouse Educational Foun-
dation has been donor of the All
electric awards for nearly quar-
ter of century. This is the eight
year that Hercules Powder Com
pany has supported the entomol-
ogy program. Arrangements for
awards are made by the National
Committee on Boys and Girls Club
Work. All winners are announced
by the State All Club office

Weekly Tree Talk

Summer Prune Trees To Open
Them Up And Make Them Safer
Summer pruning is a boon to
trees. Thin them, head them back,
prepare them for the gusty storms
of autumn.
Don Cantwell, District Manager
of the Bartlett Tree Expert Co.,
finds that trees grown excessively
tall or top heavy can be drastical-
ly headed back, some times as
much as Is or 20 feet. The trees
look better and are better for it.
Contour and symmetry of the trees
are retained.
Such skilled pruning reduces
the danger of damage by sudden
local storms. 1t removes weakness
es, throws strength into the re-
naming limbs and branches.
With summer growth many trees
cast very dense shade. So thick
are their crowns that winds tear
off branches, sometimes tOpple the
trees themselves, instead of easily
passing through the foliage. Prune-
thinning can correct this. Lawn
and paintings beneath, benefit
when shade-dense trees are opened
up and air and sun allowed to fill
ter through.
Shortening of long branches less
ems the leverage exerted by winds.
1t makes tree safer too, especially
IL wayward limbs extend over side
walks, drives and buildings.
Weak crotches should be braced,
unsteady limbs cabled.
Pruning also means the elimin-
alton of sickly, weak and dead
wood. This promotes vigorous
growth of the parts that remain.
Pruning should be done with know
ledge and habits of the particular
species of tree. Develop a normal
symmetrical shape except in trees
that by habit grow picturesquely
irregular.
Janpanese Beetles On The Upsurge
Japanese beetles appear to be
building up again. The bronzy-
brilliant green pests are return
ing in force to some areas in the
cast where they have not been
seen in years.
These beetles, destroy foliage of
a wide host of shrubs and trees. es-
pecially linden, elm, horsechestnut,
cherry and apple. according to
Don Cantwell, District Manager of
the Bartlett Tree Expert Co.
Control can be achieved by
spraying with good concentrations
of DDT, malathion or arsenate OF
lead.
