A great many people assume
that conditions In their yard
are comparable TO those in the
forest and therefore the shade
trees do not need feeding. Ac-
tually in the yard two crops an
being constantly harvested -
grass and leaves and both are
usually earted away In the In
terest Of neatness.
In the forest there is seldom
grass beneath the trees. The
leaves are left to decompcse
and thus return to the soil all
the food that they contain.
In addition the city trees lack
the open porpous soil that de-
velops under forest conditions
The soil becomes compacte6
through lack Of . protective
mulch. through constant tram
pline, and from the lack Of
humus in the soil Thus water
tends to run on and drought
conditions prevail much of the
time. Similarly air does not
reach the roots In adequate
supply thus reducing the vig-
or and health Of the tree.
Feed Trees Regularly
It Is not always possible to
overcome these "city" condi-
tions but at least we can work
towards improving them since
shade trees are so important to
our comfort and to the enjoy
ment Of our homes. One step Is
to feed the trees regularly. An
other is to leave the grass clip
pings and pulverized leaves on
the ground where they will de-
cay and keep the soil humus
content higher"
Feeding the tree may be done
at any time Of the year provid-
ed we use organic materials
which viii not leach away when
the tree roots are not actively
taking up plant food. Chemical
fertilizers should be applied be-
tween March first and mid Sep
tember In this area. &
Fertilizers could be applied
to the surface Of the ground
and the rainfall would carry
them down to the feeding roots
were it not for the grass which
greedily takes up the niggardly
allowance available. Thus It Is
common practice to apply the
fertilizers in holes bored or
punched in the soil beneath the
limb spread Of the tree.
Calculating Amount
The amount Of plant food
needed by q tree is usually
calculated from the diameter Of
the tree trunk at 3 feet above
the ground-A pound for each
inch Of diameter is one mini
mum recommended by one
writer. DR.. Curtis May Of the
United States Department Of
Agriculture. in the 1949 Year
book Of Agriculture, Trees, I"
advises 2 pounds for each inch
Of diameter.
The fertilizer may be, and
commonly is, applied In holes
that are bored IS to 1S inches
deep and 2 to 3 feet apart.
Since the bulk Of the feeding
roots are near the ends Of the
branch spread few, If any, holes
should be near the trunk. Many

suggest that the fertiliser holes
might well extend q or 8 feet
beyond the branch Eptehd A
handful OF fertilizer iE dr0pped
IN each hole and the open end
Is then filled with . porous sol
mixture (eQual parts Of sand,
peatmoss and SOLD
Another method and one
that win appeal to many Is to
use one Of the cartridge feed
ers. Q tool that Il attached to
the end Of the hose and the
plant food. in the form Of @
cartridge. Is dissolved and car-
rted into. the soil by the water.
This tool Is easy to push into
the soil and the liquid food is
In o form that Is readily taken
up by the tree roots. The root
feeder also has the advantage
OF not messing UP the turf and
can be safely used IN bulb beds
and around sf1rubbery.
Some Controversy
There Is some controversy
over the proper plant food mix
ture to be given q tree. Some
are satisfied to use the com.
mon fertilizers which supply
only nitrogen. phosphorus and
potash. Others believe that the
minor elements have been .ex-
hausted from the soil and
point to evidence Of such de-
ficiency in the leaves. There
are specially compounded tree
foods and there are other mix
lures which would be equally
useful. The organic materials
which release the plant food
slowly as the bacteria work on
1t are less likely to burn roots
than are the chemical mix
lures. Ohio State Agricultural
Experiment Station, in Q study
made many years ago, found
that q single heavy application
Of fertilizer was still feeding
the trees seven years after ap-
However, most gar.
deners do not give such heavy
applications and with the nor
NAL competition for plant food
In the soil there is little likeli-
hood Of burn. There is some
likelihood of loss by teaching
II heavy applications are made
In the sander soils.
The Recommendation Of DR..
May might well be taken as
the upper limit and the "
pound as the minimum for
feeding trees In this area. The
main point. however, is to feed
them regularly.

Sending Gift
To Margaret
BY the Associated Press

President and Mrs. Eisen-
hover have not been invited
to Princess Margaret's we'd
ding May 6. But they are
sending a gift.
In response to questions,
the White House said yester-
day that chiefs of state get a
bid to the wedding in Lon
don only if they happen to
be blood relatives of the royal
family.
Anne Wheaton, Associate
Press secretary, said in reply
to a question that the Pres
ldent did not get an invita-
tion but that he and the First
Lady will send Princess Mar
garet a personal gift.
Il do not know at this
time the nature of it," Mrs.
Wheaton said.

OF every table - besides a
bottle of Virginia Gentleman
and Grants Scotch - were
purple grapes and yellow
flowers encircling hurricane
lamps. Dick Ridge did the
very successful decorating.
Following the excellent five
course dinner, there was an
elegant fashion show of
formal clothes by Fontana

ington women, headed by
Chilean Ambassadors Sonora
de Muller, and a group from
New York that included Mrs.
Hugh D. Auchincloss, jr.,
Jean Dupont, Christina

Crawford; Joan Baker and
Marina Mcguire modelled the
evening creations.
The other models from
here were Mrs. Robert Nc
Cormick, Kay Topping, who
wore a beaded gold satin bail
dress with a full skirt; Ceci
Carusi, who appeared in a
superb black gown with a
single rose and pouf sleeves:
Nancy Emes in a long pink
silk model, debutante Bonnie
Buchanan in pale blue and
Virginia Rogers in gray.
The dresses were nicely
set of, one might add, by no
less than $12 million worth
of jeWelry sent down from
New York by Harry Winston.
It's amazing what a few
baubles will do for a girl.
