Show TREES IS SLOGAN IN UTAH THIS YEAR LOGAN plant trees is the slogan for nearly every community in utah for the year 1932 especially of its significance to the name of george washington there Is no finer way in which Ms memory can perpetuated but particular care should be taken to see that the trees are planted and cared for in a way to insure survival and growth most trees are quite hardy and will withstand much abuse seeming to survive under all conditions but they will also respond to and appreciate good treatment special attention can be given to several items which will carry the tree over the first few seasons after planting trees should be selected from healthy stock and planted or moved during the dormant season emch is during late fall winter or early spring spring planting Is preferable under most conditions the roots should not exposed to the air during planting but covered with wet leaves or sacks when out of the ground the hole should be large enough to prevent crowding of the roots and should be dug if possible just prior to planting to insure fresh soil which should be placed around the roots and then camped tamped thoroughly tho trees should be placed in the ground to the same depth of their former planting as too shallow planting will dry out the roots and too deep planting will smother them the tree especially for shade purposes should not be crowded picture the tree as mature in size and space accordingly for woodlot or shelter belt use the trees must be closer to insure height growth and protection from the wind and these should be thinned later to get proper returns after planting correctly then the tree needs only proper cultivation and watering for best growth stir up the topsoil top soll keep the weeds down and water regularly the last item to consider Is to give the tree a chance to reach its normal shape and size |
