They | may be dying back at the top, / or sparsely leafed. They wonder i what is the trouble. 1 R. W. Greaber, Extension for- i ester of N. C. State College, says j "sick" shade trees usually need ( fertilizer, water and a protective < leaf mulch. He suggests: s 1.?A first-year fertilizer treat- \ ment of cotton seed meal, sul- i phate of ammonia and bone meal, < applied on soaked ground or watered-in well after the application. In succeeding years the fert- t ilizer treatment should be mostly s sulphate of ammonia. \ i.?Water the trees regularly < during the growing season?from ] early spring to mid-summer. Wat- t ering the surface is not enough; < in fact it is useless and wasteful. Enough water should be applied to wet the soil thoroughly for a foot in depth. Allowing a small stream to run all night and changing the location on successive nights is an excellent method. 3.?Restore Nature's protective mulch by covering the surface with a "blanket" of leaves, woods mulch, or other decaying organic matter to a depth of several inches, and for a distance of at least two-third of the branchspread of the tree. To keep the material from blowing or washing away, a 12-inch light wire mesh fence surrounding the mulched area will provide a good guard. The Norwegian fjords never are icebound. The Gulf Stream moderates the weather of Great Britain. Sheets of "tempered" nylon have possibilities for use in currency. aircraft windshields, film for safety glass, window shades and other uses. The state pori i (*A MEOAI i . ? i gasps?' iMt om?ras wmnu uuitnr i . This AVeek In ... . DEFENSE i Federal Loan Administrator Tones announced the allocation )f $650,000,000 for use in enlargng and speeding the bomber jrogram by building Government >\yned plants and increasing the supply of essential materials. The War Department announced the award of contracts totalng $322,500,000 for 22-ton bomjers to be produced at new Gov(BUnent-owned plants at Fort fro'rth, Tex., and Tulsa, Okla. Hie Department described the tward of the contracts as a "major step toward the 500 bombers a month goal" set by the Presiient when he said the demscracies must achieve superiority n the air. OPM Director Knud>en asked airplane manufactures to prepare to make an undisslosed additional number of heavy sombers. The Navy reported its air program "slightly ahead .of schelule" with 3.500 planes on hand Way 1, as compared with 2.172 ;en months before. The Depart nent said that by January, 1942, ts training program will supply sufficient pilots for 15,000 planes, ts goal. SHIPS The Maritime Commission anlounced the delivery of seven sew ships, an addition of 50,200 :ons, to the American merchant 'leet. The Senate and House enicted legislation authorizing the President to requisition foreign shipping immobilized in U. S. ?rts. Maritime Commission Chairman Land asked newspaper sditors, radio stations and other sources of public information to vithhold news of merchant ships lsed to aid Britain and other iemocracies. AID TO EUROPE President Roosevelt authorized lie dispatch of two merchant ships to Ireland with $500,000 vorth of food for distribution to sivilians under supervision of the Ted Cross. The ships will sail mder Irish registry with Irish :rews. CIVILIAN DEFENSE President Roosevelt established PUBLIC : Did you ever s much a public serva ant realy is?

Director LaGuardia said volunteers would be organized to protect vital | utilities in the event of an at-1 tack, carry on first aid and deal I with problems of warfare, evacuation, housing and food. FBI Director Hoover announced that 150.000 local law enforce-' j ment officers are being enlisted I I in a voluntary plan to rout fifth ' \ columnists. COST OF LIVING Labor Secretary Perkins anI nounced a 2.2 percent rise in the j cost of living in larger cities! i above the 1935-1939 average and j ! 3.7 percent above August, 1939, just prior to the European war. She said food prices were up 5 percent over last autumn, rents up 0.3 precent in the last month, I and clothing up 2.2 percent. The j Labor Department reported, however, the earnings of workers in j the manufacturing industries adIvanced to new high levels?5.4 I percent more than March, 1940, j with average hourly, earnings at ; 69.7 cents, or $29.11 a week. SELECTIVE SERVICE Congress amended the Selective j Service Act to exempt from > service under the Act former : regulars and reservists of the j Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. Deputy Director Hershey ' announced that although the i Army has sufficient dental and j veterinary officers, dentists and I veterinaries and students in these , professions should be deferred to avoid a civilian shortage. The OPM informed Selective Service Headquarters there will soon be a shortage in the metal| working trade and urged deferi ments to avoid this. OPM pointed out that when a skilled worker is inducted, the plant loses not only the individual but also the time of a skilled man needed" to train a replacement. LABOR DISPUTES OPM Associate Director Hillman, speaking in New York, said "there are no insoluble problems in management-labor relations, I. . . only some prejudices . . . i that must be eliminated" to i create the "mutual trust which I must animate any sound labor SERVICE top to think just how nt your retail merchs business to buy the the "RIGHT' prices :etls of his customers der that their pocket:ted.

Cooperation will result, he said, when labor problems are treated not as a "nuisance" but "worthy of serious study and consideration". PUBLIC ATTITUDE William Batt, Deputy Defense Production Director, speaking in Washington, said OPM. war and Navy officials are not satisfied with defense progress. "I do not want a single man or woman to feel we are right on the verge of becoming the arsenal of democracy", Mr. Batt said. "We cannot produce . . . and preserve our standard of living in terms of electric conveniences and leisure hours. A radical change of attitude must take place if we are to make good our promises to the defenders of freedom ..." Mr. Batf said business must be willing to expand without immediate regard for individual futures, labor must forget its differences in deference to more work, and Government must not allow politics or bureaucracy to interfere with defense. FOREIGN AFFAIRS A orrisMiltnro Qorrptnrv Wirkflrr! speaking at Hutchinson, Kansas, said "... in Latin America many countries are watching to see whether we will make good our promise or . . . simply talk and gesture . . . Millions of Britains are watching us who can't go on unless help is made effective. The Nazis and Fascists are watching us and every sign of indecision and division fills them with joy. If we simply talk . . . they'll rule the world." War Secretary Stimson and Navy Secretary Knox told their press conference the Neutrality Act, which prohibits American shipping in combat zones, should be repealed and the V. S. should return to the former policy of freedom of the seas. Addressing the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, Mr. Knox said the U. S. Must be prepared to makfc sacrifices "that will match any sacrifices made by any generation of Americans before us." Secretary <Jf State Hull, speaking in Washington, said control of the seas is a prime objective of the Axis and its program for world domination. Should the Axis succeed. Mr. Hull said, all countries will face economic enslavement and control of international business by military and political forces. FOREIGN TRADE President Roosevelt, opening Foreign Trade Week, said "the dictator nations already have achieved serious economic encirclement of the U. S." He said all Americans should fight against the econimic slavery to which Germany and her allies would subject the world. Raymond 'Geist. State Department Chief of Commercial Affairs, speaking in New York, said the international situation poses the question whether the peril confronting the nation "lies more in the struggle itself or in the cancerous post-war economic processes" of an unfair peace. He said it would be fatal if Germany won because the U. S. would be compelled to adopt economic methods "which would and our democratic way of life". Secretary of State Hull said that slowly undermine our prosperity after the war all nations should cooperate in international trade free from discrimination. WASHINGTON LETTER WASHINGTON, May 28?Ur mistakable evidence that oti democracy is functioning: may t found in the current attitude c Congress toward tax revision t provide funds for defense need; ? It appears that the legislaioi are turning a deaf ear to appeal of the Treasury for quick actioi The indications are that they at awaiting the public's reaction fc the proposals of the Administrs tion for a drastic revision of th internal revenue laws. All th hullabaloo about this cour.'y skic ding rapidly into an active pai in the war cannot move th "people's choice" from their de termined to ascertain what th folks back home think about th ways and means of paying fo the enormous defense expend tures. The peculiar feature is tha their motives are not entirely c a selfish political nature bu more in a spirit of fair play gh ing the taxpayers a voice in po icy-making which vitally affect their welfare. Many solons ar in their districts for Memoris Day speeches in an effort to sil sentiment. That the actual and potentis classes of taxpayers are disturbe over the pending proposal whic will tax their income from th first of this year is revealed i reports from all sections of th country. Merchants and othe sales' groups discern a note c caution among the citizens eve those more prosperous than usua The explanation is that these ta> payers are saving certain poi tions of their salaries and wage against the day when Uncle Sai comes knocking at the door wit a demand for contributions t the state. People who have fixe commitments for mortgages an life insurance are putting ad( quate sums aside as reserves an consequently reducing their cui rent purchases, which are quiet ly reflected in merchants' -r< ports of sales. It is believed ths the House Committee on ffaj and Means will require at leas a month to write a tax bill afte the hearings close this weel They are desperately seeking formula which will raise tli necessary revenue without hur ing the average taxpayer tc much. The President's broadcast th week is. of "course, the highligl of the American angle to foreig wars. It is expected that quic repercussions will follow jrt tl form of new policies dealing wit the Axis powers and aid to tli beleaguered British. There is re: son to assume that heavier di mands will be made upon loc: draft boards at an earlier dal OTHER ACTIVITIES Congress increased the pay < parachute troop officers by $10 a month and the pay of enliste parachutists by $50 a month, an authorized training of enliste men as pilots . . . The Army ar nounced testing of secret method of combatting blitz warfare . . The Treasury sold $257,650,00 of Defense Bonds in the first 1 days?"better than expected" . . The President reduced his r< quest for relief funds for 1942 b $109,000,000 . . . The Commerc Department reported exports t Japan running 48 percent les than last year.
