THE BEST TIME TO PLANT
TREES, deciduous or ever
green, is in the spring or fall
when the trees are practically
dormant.
Trees with bare roots should
be planted before the first of
April. For this late In the spring
it is best to plant only the bal
led and burlapped materials.
Make sure the hole for the
tree is wide enough so that
the roots of the bare rooted
trees set flat. The balled trees
should have enough room be-
tween the ball and the edge of
the hole for fill. The hole should
be at a depth that when the

"This administration will not
submit to the Congress any sup
Encouragement programs for
livestock either now or In the
future. We believe, as we have
stated repeatedly, that the pro-
sperity of the livestock pro-
ducer rests on a stable and
healthy feed grain market. If
feed grain production is In bal
ance with demand, the grower
will benefit through fair prices,
and this situation, in turn, is the
best guarantee of fair prices
for the livestock producer. We
have no plans to develop sup
ply-management programs for
livestock"
