The 400 association members
own more than half a million
acres with more than 10 mir
lion trees. averaging 10000
trees per plantation.
About seven years elapSe

first harvest.
The State of New York helps
growers by selling seedlings to
conservation-minded landown-
ers for $40 per 1000. about
half of the price charged by
commercial nurseries.
The Christmas tree industry
is becoming mechanical. Devel-
opments include power pruning
shears, mowers, brush cutters
and acknowledgements. The
only requirement that hasn't
been mechanical its patience.

Some Trees to Plant
For Fall Color Values

you can enjoy a fall color
spectacle in your own yard, but
be careful. Pick paintings for
the outdoor decor with an eye
for qualities in addition to
color.
Values to consider in COM
bination with color include
hardness. exotic blossoms. lu-
uriant shade, edible fruits, frag-
ance and unusual bark.
The dOgwOOd is acclaimed for
its spring bloom and summer
foliage, yet it makes a big
color splash in the autumn. 1t
sports brilliant tints of red to
crimson foliage. 1t also is a
choice feeding station for song
birds throughout the winter
since it retains a large corp of
brilliant red seeds.

Educational Exhibits
In Shows Praised

anese Spurge) - Hardy peren-
NAL herb with evergreen fol-
iage. In heavy shade it grows
10 inches high, in dappled
shade to 6 inches. Leaves may
turn yellow in full sun. Small,
fragrant spikes of white flow
ers in summer, followed by 5oft,
white berries. Needs acid, rich
soil with plenty of moisture.
PhlOx SubuIata Moss Pink,
Ground Pink)--A creeping mat
forming plant which will get
six inches high. Flowers range
from pink, rose, and scarlet, to
lavender-blue. Blooms in late
spring and early summer. Needs
to be weeded until well estab-
lished.
Sedum (StOnecrOp) - Sue
culent, evergreen, low growing
plants. Many different varie-
ties available. Grow in poor
soil, sun or shade, and can get
along with little moisture. Sc
dunn disappointing when
planted in large areas. Some
spots get crowded and die out
leaving an unSightly situation.
Thymus Sorghum Mother
Of Thyme, Creeping Thyme) -
PROSTATE perennial forming a
carpet of tiny, dark, aromatic
leaves. These leaves are very
soft and fragrant. Has small
purplish white flowers from
June to September. Will with
stand neglect and drought.
Vinca Minor Dwarf Periwin-
kIe or MyrtIe) - May get 6
inches high and spread to 10
feet. Has blue flowers in early
spring. Best foliage in light
shade, If fed several times a
year in spring and fall. May be
cut back to ground, keeping the
growth more even.
Educational material Of this
kind is most helpful to the be-
ginner as well as to the more
experienced gardener who is
seeking easier and better meth
DDS. Such exhibits take work
but they are so helpful that it
is hoped that they can be made
a permanent feature Of the
shows.

est shade trees. the sourgum,
is a one-tree show in the fall.
The sourgum usually colors a
brilliant red tinged with orange,
while many other trees are still
green. AS a bonus, it also
bears a BURBERRY appreciated
by songbirds.
The majestic sugar maple has
a color range from golden yell
low to orange, and often fiery
shades Of red. but its showing
is not practicable.
SumacS, more shrubs than
trees, almost always can be
relied upon to flaunt a bright
red. These paintings must be
used judiciously since they are
not the most desirable deco
rative additions. However, they
are highly regarded as anti
erosion paintings.

Autumn Pruning
OF Trees Now
Urgent Task

Autumn pruning Of shade
trees is now under way. It's
a needed task on many home
grounds. And it has been made
more urgent by threats of hur-
ricanes, tornadoes and vicious
little storms that have struck
numerous communities.
Pruning is done for struc-
tural strength, safety as well
as sanitation and appearance
This is also the time to prune
so-called "bleeder" trees that
drip and lose sap when pruned
in late winter and early spring
These are maple, birch, beech,
walnut and yellowwood.
The urgency Of fall pruning
is in removing hazardous limbs
and branches over walks,
drives, houses, buildings and
utility wires. Prune out also
cross-over branches. Eliminate
weak, dead and dying wood
Burn this If it harbors insects
and diseases.
In autumn too it can be de-
termined which trees have
grown out of bounds and dark
ened interiors Of houses,
Crowns should be Trimmed
keeping the natural symmetry
of the trees.
Properly done. autumn prun-
ing pours structural strength
into the remaining branches
and limbs so that the trees are
less likely to be blown over OF
shattered under the violence OF
storms.

1t is only natural when visit
ing a flower show to look for
the names of the winners, while
admiring the beautiful flowers
and plants on display and not
ing those varieties and kinds
which appeal to you. Today's
flowers shows often have ex-
cellent educational exhibits.
This was noted at three re-
cent shows. Undoubtedly it
would be unfair not to en-
phasize this, that these are
only examples of the excellent
work being done by many of
the areas clubs.
The Old Dominion African
Violet Show, their first, had a
fine display of plants and plant
propagation. The Neighborhood
Garden Club had a most I'M
usual exhibit showing the prop
agation of woody plants. The
third, the Silver Spring Gar
den Club, showed some of the
many kinds Of ground covers
which might be Of help to the
gardener.
In connection with this dis
play they had a mimeograph
for the visitors to take with
them for further reference. The
Silver Spring Garden Club in
this case goes further than
most clubs:
Some good ground covers for

EDITORIAL COMMENT
D. A. K. TO BE COMMENDED

The Benjamin Humphreys and Hol-
mes County chapters of the D. A. R.
are performing a noteworthy commune
ty service. The organizations have spon-
sored local showings of the film, "Ope-
ration Abolition" Last week the film
was shown to a meeting of area citizens
as well as to the Lexington Rotary Club
and Lexington High students. Mrs. Joy
w. Brooks, Regent of the local chapter
and the individual members of the orga-
nlzatlon are to be commended for Spon-
soring the film.
The Herald commented on the merits
of the particular film several months
ago. We still feel, as we did then, that it
IS an excellent presentation and should be
viewed by every citizen of our commu-
nifty. In essence, it shows rather pointed
ly how the international communist
movement is attempting, and actually
succeeding in accomplishing its mission.
Holmes County herald., 1961-10-26

So often, organizations in our society
fail to make any real contributions to
that society. In too many instances, the
persons who compose those organiza-
tons look to them in terms of indivi-
dual gains or betterment. They vieW
their club or group as means of personal
advancement, in other words.
The D. A. R. is different. The ladies
who comprise this civic-minded organi-
ZatlOn are much more interested in what
services they can perform for their COM
munity. They have realized that basic
Americanism needs more emphasis thr-
oughtout our nation. More important,
they have taken specific action to assure
that this will cake place.
We salute the ladies of the D. A. R.
Their efforts are contributing greatly
toward making our citizens more aware
of our American responsibilities and
heritage.
