farmers:
“Some pruning is helpful
jeach year in shaping young
trees and thinning crowd-!
jed limbs on older trees.;
Spraying is also helpful in!
[killing scale and other par
jasites on the bark. For
small orchards, one can buy
ja ready-mixed liquid lime
sulphur solution which mix
:es with water at-the rate
iof one gallon of lime-sul-
I phur to eight gallons of
water. This spray is good
for Winter apples, peaches
'and other fruits.
“Fertilizer or manure is
'needed by trees in late tVin- 1
ter. Nitrate of soda is one:
|of the best fertilizers, tho
ugh any such preparation!,
will help. From two to five
| pounds of fertilizer per j
j tree is usually applied.);
■Brushy mountain orchards',
j which formerly were pro-'
ductive every other other
[year, now bear each year !
, since regular fertilization I"
has been made. Young trees!,
also need cultivation. Dig-;)
ging or plowing around j
them will keep down grassij
and weeds.”

HOW CAN YOU HELP
CONQUER THIS AMERI
CAN ENEMY—FIRE.
From 1909 to 1938 Amer
ica’s saw timber was reduc
ed almost 40 per cent, fires,
j killed billions of little trees'
j —tomorrow’s timber—ana'
I enough big ones to build'
6To million five-room hom
es; watersheds were crip
pled; millions of man-days (
of labor wasted; nature’s
beauty scarred.
To help conquer Ameri
ca’s enemy—forest, woods,
and range fires: Ask FIRE
WARDENS if the law re
quires a permit before
clearing land with fire or
burning grass, brush, fence
rows, ferns, sedge, slash.
Then scrape a trail or plow
around; keep patrols alert;
kill every spark.
CRUSH OUT cigarettes,
cigars, pipe ashes. BRE’K
matches, PINCH burned
ends. OBSERVE rules in;
area s closed to smoking.
MAKE SURE: To get a
permit—if the law requires
one—before building camp,
picric, or warming fires;
then drown, stir coals,
drown again before leaving
REMEMBER, ALWAYS
that 9 out of 10 forest,
woods, and range fires can
be prevented; that you earri
help conquer this enemy'
