Por the program Mrs. Forester
presented Mr. John Ford, farm
Awester, who made a most lnterfcy-rg
and helpful talk on trees.
. Ford, In the beginning of
hB most Informative talk divided
the tree into its different
parts, its root system, trunk and
crown. He told the function of
each part. There are several
ways of classifying trees. Some
distinguish them by calling them
evergreens, which do not shed
leaves every year, and the deciduous
trees which do.
Mr. Ford was very disturbed
about the treatment we give our
trees. We havent learned to
prune them properly. He says to
prune a tree no stu/bs should be
left on, they should be cut so
close so that rot will not set in
*Wl»»WWW%IH»MlW»WWWW
behind the nafWly cut places.
Limbs of finger sUe will usually
heal and leave a small callous.
He brought samples to illustrate
proper and improper priming. He
brought several booklets published
by U. S. Department of Agriculture
on the care if trees and
shrubs which he gave to the
members of the club. K .. ' ,'""1
