pee 14 the tribune tfcrwfjy march union says farmer low man far too long garden guide l head hog producers assoc wide choice of trees for your lot by john bradshaw its been said by people much wiser than me that nothing contributes more to the comfort and welfare of mankind than a tree it seems to me that this centen nial year offers an excellent opportunity for the whole family to plant a tree and watch it grow over the years in later life the children will say remember when we helped mother and dad plant that tree such is the fibre on which memories are made modern mass nursery production has meant that far too many trees of the same kind are planted each year this need not be because a search through nursery catalogues will soon reveal that theres a wide choice of trees that are just a little bit different a typical example would be the red horse chestnut in choosing an attractive shade tree for the garden you cannot afford to overlook this one everyone knows the glorious candles of white bloom that the ordinary chestnut produces just imagine the same tree with reddish pink flowers its a fairly fast growing shade tree and the flowering time is may and june unlike the common chestnut this tree does not bear nuts which disfigure the garden its height at maturity will be about 30 feet in this area the golden rain is one of the best me dium sized flowering trees for the home garden in mid summer the whole tree is a cascade of golden bloom the flowers are borne in long chains which create a breathtaking sight when they stir in the breeze heres a lawn specimen tree that will delight both you and your neighbors it too will grow about thirty feet high when fully matured there are too few gardens that contain a dwarf japanese red maple this maple can be grown either as a colorful dwarf tree or a small shrub because of its slow growth it makes an excellent specimen tree or shrub for lawn planting youll find its foliage is never dense enough to harm the lawn and the brilliant crim son color never fails to attract attention this blood red color makes an eyecatching contrast if set among the evergreens in the foundation planting the japanese maple needs full sun but will tolerate moderate shade under the latter conditions the crimson color is not nearly so pronounced not every nursery carries the pyramidal english oak but any trouble you may have in finding it will be forgotten when you see it growing in your garden its shape is the same as that of the lombardy poplar but it has none of the latters faults lombardy poplars mature somewhere between 16 and 20 years of age and then gradually die away on the other hand the pyramidal oak is longlived slower growing and more compact its leaves turn brown in the fall and cling to the branch until early next spring giving the tree a most attractive appearance throughout the winter months during the summer the green foliage is a joy to behold one of the most ideal shade trees for any garden large or small is the little leaf lynden theres hardly a better tree for street planting as its able to withstand the fumes smoke and dust that pollute the city air much better than most trees the little leaf lynden has a dense pyramidal shape handsome heart shape foliage and eventually grows to 100 feet in height dont plant this tree close to public utility wires or the house for my money one of the best introductions in the past few years as far as ornamental shade trees are con cerned is the sunburst thornless locust this shade tree is fast growing but has few if anyfaults being a hardwood the limbs are not easily broken down in wind and ice storms the tips of the branches are a bright golden yellow shading to bronze at the ends and they appear as if you had taken a paint brush and cov ered each tip with bright golden paint while it is a very fast grower it will not grow out of bounds and the eventual height at maturity is any where from 30 to 40 feet it makes an excellent lawn specimen shade tree because the diameter of the trunk is very small now is the time to make your choice of trees so that youll be ready to plant them the first day that the soil becomes workable in your garden

told members this week farmers have been low man on the economic and social totem pole far too long the agricultural commu nity has been the soft spot within society open to misuse by the power blocks she said this is where the ofu comes in we as a farm organization become a block of strength also look ing for a soft spot not very humanistic she admitted but the bas is on which this society is founded and unfortunately if we are to survive as far mers we must learn the name and rules of the game being played and ap ply them industry now sets the pace said mrs opstinik it seeks its own goals a- chieves its own ends esta blishes a value system by which the quality of life in our civilization is meas ured she said that value sys tem placed farmers as du ty bound to produce and feed the nation and a hun gry world no matter what the costs to themselves the name of this game is humanity and the rules are charity and its a game the farmers have been playing a long time its a fine game but in or der for the game to be fair all participants have to be playing the same game and abide by the same rules mrs opstinik said gov ernments have been ad vancing industrialization to kuk tux

agricul ture farmers have been subsidizing the nation with cheap food farmers are told they cannot receive more for their produce because it would inflate consumer prices and the consumer is already complaining about the high price of food the consumer hollers more about the high cost of food than any other commodity he purchases in the marketplace because he is indoctrinated into be lieving that cheap food is his godgiven inalienable right however this does not extend to houses and cars said mrs opstinik it is obvious that all the brief presentations and quiet softspoken pleading around a government table doesnt mean a thing un less you have the force in the country to back them up until such time as the force is a solidly organized farm front we cannot be come more sophisticated in our approach to govern ment and become as the farm unions in the british ises the bargaining and negotiating voice of farm ers the ofu has been called irresponsible because it employs meausures such as last years tractor demon strations said mrs opsit- nik until governments and all segments of society rec ognize their responsibility to society as a whole and to the primary producer we will continue to employ all and any measures nec essary to ensure protection of the producer she said farming report by al wall i know many taruiers who enjoy experimenting a little often the ideas are rather wild ones and the fail ure rate is high its still good though because once in a while useful discoveries are made and even if it fails the experience makes life interesting i put frost seeding in this class i dont think any one would want to seed 100 acres on frozen ground but a few acres would be a good project we know that barley seeded on frost can give higher yields than normal seeding that the plants will be shorter with stiffer straw and that the crop gets away earlier with a better chance of avoiding dry weather seed can be scattered on frozen ground in march or april its best not to even try to cover it harrowing when the surface thaws too often buries the seed too deep left alone the seed itself will work into soft mushy soil at thawing the rate of seeding should be higher than normal birds will take some of it and some plants wont sur vive barley isnt killed easily by frost it will come back even if most of the leaves are killed with a root established it will grow a second much faster than a crop just planted lots of fertilizer is a must for frost seeding nitro gen can be put on before or after seeding and its need- ed for success weed control with chemicals is another absolute requirement weeds will flourish without the normal seed bed preparation and spraying must bal done at the right time if a field has a grass problem its a poor risk for frost seeding corn is a much better crop for grassy fields because the grass can be taken out so this is a good week for the innovators to get started on spring seeding it will be interesting for sure and it might just work 4h clubs are organizing in york this week the seed fair and spray school is on thursday and jersey breeders are having a barn meeting at cecil mortsons on friday beef producers
