MASTER GARDENER Trees and shrubs are a muchâ€"neâ€" glected subject. To most people, raising flowers is by far the most exciting part of gardening. And so they concentrate on flowers, forâ€" getting that grass and trees and shrubs are the framework, the realâ€" ly basic part of the garden. . It‘s remarkable what trees and Mmd-fuuauu they‘re well chosen and out properly. I could show you & fine example in the home of a friend of mine. He bought a rather unatâ€" tractive old house some years ago. But he planted a couple of goodâ€" sized trees beside it, massed some shrubs around it, and got some vines climbing over the harsh lines of the cornices. It‘s an altogether differâ€" ent place now, and mighty nice looking. This friend of mine didn‘t spend much money, either. __ Pruning Trees Folks often write me,, asking how to prune their trees. Now there are only a few circumstances unâ€" der which I think cutting off branches is justifiable. One is when they hang so low they‘re in the way. Another is when a branch hides a lovely view. A third is when a branch is dead or split so that a wind might blow it down and hurt somebody, And one more occasion when it might be justified is when crotches form so close to the ground that the strain of the two trunks may split the base of the tree. When one of these circumstanâ€" ces arises, remember the following points: Always cut the branch off flush with the trunk or next larger branch because if you leave a stub it EVERYBODY LIKES Mellody MILK Mellody MILK BENEFITS ALL!

Begin by makâ€" ing a small cut at the bottom, so that the bark won‘t strip off when the branch goes down. A big branch should be supported by a rape to @prevent splitting hefoue you‘re through. And when you‘ve finished, coat the wound with paint or creosote. Pruning shrubs is a bit differâ€" ent, because shrubs send up new gnflmfiomndluh“d out a trunk. The new canes that shoot up should be given room to grow, so from time to time you should cut out some of the older wood. Flowering shrubs should be pruned right after they‘ve blossomâ€" ed, and other varieties when they‘re dormantâ€"after they‘ve shed their leaves and before they bud again. Shrubs vary greatly in different parts of the country. One generâ€" alization I can make, thoughâ€"evâ€" ergreen shrubs ordinarily do better in a somewhat sandy soil, and the others should have a loamy soil, But when it comes to choosing vaâ€" rieties for your own place, you‘d best get the advice of a good, reâ€" liable nursgryman. in ywour own community. Let him look over your garden, tell him how much you can spend, and he‘ll do his best for One thing about trees and shrubs that mighty few people seem to reâ€" alizeâ€"they must be fed! Year afâ€" ter year they draw eleven different food elements from the soil, and eventually these eletments (become exhausted. ‘Then your bushes and trees begin to lose their vitality; branches die, foliage becomes yelâ€" lower and scanty, leaves drop too soon. You can easily prevent these symptoms by feeding a square meal â€"a plant food that supplies all eleven of the needed food elements in scientifically . balanced proporâ€" tions. I‘d certainly recommend that you do it this year. Your trees and shrubs take a long time to grow, and when you‘ve got them they‘re an asset well worth protecting. Feed Trees and Shrubs Telephone H.

Deerfield Children Make Poppy Posters Upper grade children in the four grammar schools â€" Bannockburn, Wilmot, Holy Cross and Deerfieldâ€" are making Poppy Day posters which will be judged by a commitâ€" tee of the Deerfield unit of the American â€"Legion Auxiliary and prizes will be awarded. Those posâ€" ters winning awards will be sent to the district headquarters, and the winners there will be eligible for state contest. All the posters will be displayed in local store windows to announce Poppy Day. Deerfield will pay honor to the World war dead May 23rd by wearâ€" ing the little red poppy of Flanders Fields. Poppies will be distributed on the streets by members of the American Legion Auxiliary assisted by other volunteers. The day is the approximate twenâ€" tieth anniversary of the beginning of large scale participation of American troops in the World war, Mrs. Mary Welch, the Auxiliary‘s Poppy Day chairman, pointed out. From May until November, 1918, constantly increasing American forces were in action and more than 50,000 young Americans were killed on the poppy â€" studded fields of France and Belgium. â€"The poppies have been made by The poppies have been made by disabled veterans of North Chicago hospital, who have been given much needed employment during the winâ€" ter and spring months. Each flower has been shaped by hand by the disâ€" abled workers. 1 The Auxiliary is expecting the most general observance of Poppy Day since the custom of wearing poppies in remembrance of the dead was started at the close of the war. More than 10,000,000 of the little read flowers will be worn and apâ€" proximately $1,000,000 raised to aid the disabled veterans and dependâ€" ent families, Miss Welch predicted.
