Dutson FILLMORE by STELLA DAY This Is the time of year are all receiving dozens of catalogs. Don't just toss them in the wastebasket; study them. are filled with They information about vegetables, flowers, and trees, how to plant them, what soils they need, how much water, fertilizer, etc. The evenings are long and we have little to do except prepare for spring plantings. The more we know, especially about raising some of our much needed the food, along with planting of some beautiful trees, shrubs and flowers, to help make life worthwhile, the happier we will be. This is the best time of year to study the trees, their growth habits, how tall they grow, how their branches stand the winter winds, how tall the trunk of the tree grows before it begins to branch. All of these questions can be answered by spending a few hours visting around town and seeing these worthwhile trees without their foliage. There are numbers of street trees planted. Now that we have no more open ditches, each resident who has these trees along their streets must make sure these trees get plenty of water. Trees furnish shade in summer, windbreaks, frost breaks, and beauty all year long. for Most trees live and should be generations loved and cared for as real treasures. Those beautiful English Hawthorne trees on Main Street, beginning at the corner of Main and Canyon Road and South to the Blue Star Marker Park, add so much beauty to that section of town. Then the Golden Rain trees west along First North Street, set that part of town apart with their attractive foliage and blossoms. We never go out for a ride without riding down this street just to see the beautiful we trees. The many Flowering Crab trees here and there, which the Garden Club members have planted, help to beautify Our Town. There are some Flowering Crab trees in the Wildlife Park which were also purchased and planted by the Fillmore Garden Club. Gene McBride, Neldon Brunson, Nielsen, Dalling Reeve, Lawrence Tom Peter- son, Joe Warner, Jay Hall, and Noble Day are some of the men who helped us plant the trees in the Wildlife Park after the Wildlife Club members started the park. Rodney Rickenback, who was my neighbor, as well as being the County Agent, asked me to get the Garden Club members to help the Wildlife Club plant trees and shrubs as well as grass, also to help maintain the park. Leona Rickenback was a Garden Club members who was always willing to help us with every project the Garden Club did for FMmore while Rod was County Agent. For the last five or more years, the Garden Club and the Fine Arts Guild have spent large sums of money getting shrubs and trees for the new North Park. Some of the caretakers have not taken care of these shrubs and trees and some of them have died. Trees and shrubs, like everything else, have more than tripled in price, and all of us should be willing to spend a few hours each week helping to care for the expensive which have plantings been made in the North Park. Families could plant a picnic in the park and plan to go early and help weed the spaces between the shrubs on the hill and around the plantings near the fences where the mower does not go. Alt of us want this beautiful park to be developed, and Marge Barton unless volunteers do more to help keep It In good shape, the city will have to raise our taxes enough to hire custodians to do all of the work that is needed to care for such a valuable Mille Callister place. alone spent over $2,500 for all of the landscaping around the amphitheatre. Edith Callister watered and weeded these plantuntil they were ings Some of established. those new Honey Locust trees cost $135 each. We, as citizens, should appreciate these gifts and help care for them. The Garden Club has spent over $2,000 helping to build the amphitheatre and planting trees and shrubs. They won the money entering "Clean Up" contests and entering scrapbooks to prove our projects. The Fine Arts Guild helped to purchase all of those evergreen shrubs around the big sign "Fillmore Park" and the City Fillmore Garden Club paid the other half of the $750 which these shrubs cost. The thousands of dollars, which have been spent on landscaping the park and building the amphitheatre, have all been donations to far, mostly won through entering contests. But we will all have to help maintain it either through taxation or volunteer work. It is up to us to decide the future of our very beautiful park, for certainly it deserves the very best care possible. We are hoping to build a band shelter and landscape the picnic area this year. We are capable of doing many things, but it takes all of us, not just a few dedicated workers. SQUIRT THE DUST Use a squirt gun to help clean the leaves of your plants, says Sunset Magazine. Fill gun with water, squirt and watch the dirt run off.
