But a little extra effort and the rijfht care often make the difference between success and failure. H. R. Kemmerer, extension landscape specialist at the Illinois College of Agriculture, offers these suggestions to make your transplanting a success. First of all, the best time. for transplanting is in the spring, from the time the ground is dry enough to work until the leaves begin developing. Pick a clam, humid, cloudy day to do the work, but don't transplant when the soil is wet. Most evergreen trees an d shrubs are balled and burlapped-- that is, a ball of earth around the root* is enclosed in a burlap bag If you can't plant the evergreer the same day it is delivered from the nursery, pack sawdust, peat straw or dirt around the ball to help cut down moisture loss. Set the tree at least as deep ar it was before transplanting. It's a good idea to dig down another two inches and put some topsoi" under the roots. Leave the burlap on the root? to avoid breaking the ball of aarth during planting. It will decay in a year and won't affect -oot growth. When you fill the hole, firm the soil around the ball, beincareful not to break the ball \fter the hole is three-fourth5 full of firmed soil, fill it to group,-1 active life and place him in th ranks of the retired.

Leave the soil level a little lower than the ground surface tc form a catch basin for rain wateand the water you add. Then put one-half inch of peat, ground son, William, and son-in-law, Arthur Bickler. Twenty-Five Tears Ago McHenry's city's election was held Tuesday, April 19, at which time Peter W.

If you run into poor subsoi1 while digging, keep the poorer soil in a pile separate from the topsoil, and don't use it to refill the hole unless you don't have enough topsoil. In that case, thoroughly mix some organic matter and a little complete fertilizer with the subsoil before putting it back into the hole. Nevei put manure or leaves in the bottom. You won't need to water an evergreen plant every day after to the roots--once or twice a week for at least a month after planting will assure good root development. little short of a cyclone and was P°u Plant Usually a thooough the cause of a great deal of dam- watering-enough to soak, dowr age to property in this section.
