A friend and I have had a long ' standing argument concerning productivity relative to the average workweek for Americans. He maintains the workweek is at or very close to 40 hours. I say it is con siderably less. Are there any figures which will settle our ' friendly debate? A. According to the In­ t e r n a t i o n a l L a b o r Organization, the United States has the world's shortest workweek at an average of 35.6 hours. Interestingly, the U. S. is one of only four countries with workweeks of less than 40 hours. They include Sweden, close behind the U. S. at 35.7 hours, Belgium at 35.8 hours and New Zealand with 37.6 hours. The ILO -found that for most of the rest of the w o r l d , t h e 4 0 - h o u r workweek is rather elusive with most countries posting an average at somewhat above 40 hours. In France for example, the average is 41.2 hours, while Swit zerland is long-hour leader with 44.5 hours. Transplanting Tips by Erin Hynes Successful tree and shrub planting is more than a matter of digging up a plant and plunking it in a hole Plant selection, the time of year, proper preparation, and> correct planting will determine how well your tree or shrub will respond to having its life disrupted If ytou're buying plant materials from a nursery, choose plants of reliable hardiness for this area McHenry county falls into Zone 4 of the Arnold Ar­ boretum hardiness map. Zone 5 of the U.S.D A map Choose plants whose mature form and size fit into your landscape. Avoid plants w|th undesirable characteristics such as messy fruit or poor resistence to pests The best time to transplant is early spring while the plants are still dormant Don't plant until the ground has thawed and is workable If you clench a handful of soil in your fist and it forms a loose ball which crumbles easily, the ground is ready. Fall planting is the second best choice, after the leaves drop. Fall planting isn't good for fleshy rooted plants, which are prone to winter injury Summer planting i& risky, but can work for predug, hardened-off trees Late spring planting, after the leaves emerge, is an unforgivable error In the following directions, I'm assuming that you're planting nursery stock If you're transplanting a tree or shrub from the wild, you'll need to prepare it carefully before digging. For detailed information on digging and transplanting wild trees, you can get a copy of "Tran­ splanting Ornamental Trees & Shrubs" -- ask for Home & Garden Bulletin No. 192 Your planting method depends on your soil quality If your soil is well drained, and you're planting bare root stock, make the hole wide enough to receive the roots when spread in a natural position. For balled- and-burlapped trees, the hole should be at least two feet wider than the rootball. In both cases, make the hole 6" deeper than the root mass and fill the bottom with 6' of loose soil. Set the tree at the same level at which it grew. If you can't set it at the same level, it's better for it to be a little too high than too deep Gently set the plant in the hole and remove the burlap if present Add peat moss to hole if the soil is sandy. Fill the pit^half way with soil and tamp it down to remove air pockets. Fill the hole with water and let it drain out before adding the rest of the soil Level off the soil and tamp down Make a ridge of soil which surrounds the tree a short ways from the trunk, to form a water-catching saucer Water the tree again If your soil's poorly drained, it's a good idea to set the rootball in a shallow depression and build a soil mound around the roots. Gently slope the mound, extending it as far out from the trunk as possible Water This method works best for trees with a mature height of less than fifty feet For trees with a trunk diameter less than three inches, stake the tree with one or two 6 foot poles set vertically into the soil next to the root ball. Fasten the trunk to the pole with a loop of wire enclosed in a section of garden hose to prevent girdling Trees with a trunk ex­ ceeding three inches should be supported by three equidistant hose-covered grey wires I^oop the wires around the trunk two thirds up the trunk, and fasten the other end to a short stake driven into the ground. Make PAGEir^y^jpEALER - FRIDAY, MAY 8,1W»' The Extension Service has several pamphlets covering transplanting. In addition to "Transplanting Ornamental Trees & Shrubs" which I mentioned, we have "Trees for Shade and Beauty" (Home and Garden Bulletin No. 117, no charge), "Planting and Caring for Hedges" (Horticulture Facts LH-4,), and "Planting Shrubs" (Horticulture Facts, LH-2,) sure one wire faces into the prevailing wind. For trees, wrap the trunk from the top down with tree wrapping paper, burlap, newspaper, etc., to prevent sun scald. If using a loose wrapping, tie it with cord every 18 inches. Leave the wrapping on for a year or two It's very important that you wrap from the top down to encourage rain water to rnn off the trunk. » The Cooperative Ex­ tension service is located at 789 McHenry avenue, Woodstock, 111. 60098.
