TREE PLANTihG IS EXPLAI'-'ED Methodis Os Planting And Caring For Are Described Because of the interest shown| in tree planting in the first week's poll of Improvement* by the Decatur Junior Chamber of Commerce, the following story on the subject was obtained by the club for those wishing to improve their yards by this means. A good tree for street and park, planning, according to the experts, must have a shapely crown and be attractive at all seasons. It mutt be hardy, little susceptible to insects and fungus disease, and able to endure ' smoke. The elm, hard maple, uud several varieties of oak have been recommended as She best kinds for city planting. In many parts of the country, | especially in the Lake States, the American elm is held to be the best all-round street tree. Besides having a great beauty, it with- l stands windstorms well and is a rapid grower, and its finely divided branches gives it a striking appearance even in winter. Among the best varieties of American elm are the vase and Moline types. 1 which have an improved form and, are immune from most diseases! and insect pests. The red oak ws rapidly and withstands wini ns well. The white oak is geuc.ally regarded as one of the most beautiful species, and is highly desirable for its fall coloring and longevity, but is a slow grower. The hard maple is a very fine street tree, with its fall : coloring and splendidly sb..ped i crown. The Norway maple, while | not a native, is a good street tree j because of its shapely crown and rapid growth, and the wl. e ash is also highly esteemed by many, although it does not possess the grace and beauty of the elm. In drier areas, tests have shown that the hackberry does well . s a street tree and the basswood or linden is t ■ very desirable for the better s..ls. Studies by the Division oi Land Economic Inventory of the State of Wisconsin have shown that evergreen trees are not widely used, because they cannot withstand the smoke and dust of cities well as can the hardwood speett ley thrive best in tl air own nc ivironment, but in parks i arnugj highways free from sm e and

1 dust, evergreens may be used with ;ood results, if planting is done where conditions of soil and moisire are conducive to their growth. Use Small Trees | Trees for planting along streets i should I uve a diameter of 2 to 2H ! inches. It a larger tree is used, it is often difficult to get a good root system. The roots of smaller trees : become established and although i the cost is less, the trees will dei velop ' apidly as larger ones. Street trees for planting are usuali ly obtained from nurseries, for the nursery-grown tree with its superior root system will thrive better than one taken from the woods. Trees in nurseries have their roots pruned, which results in numbers 'of rootlets which are the feeders for the tree. Great care must be exercised in , the planting of trees, especially in the city, where appearance and health are so essential. When a 2 or 4-inch tree is to be planted, it is customary, especially in poor ! soil, to dig a hole 6 feet in diameter, and 3 feet deep, and fill it with good soil. If this is done, the I trees will usually grow rapidly, and be more free from disease and insect pests. When there is good soil along the parkway, it is not necessary to dig such a large hole. Fertilizing with good, well-rotted manure is helpful, but the manure must be well mixed with the earth, and not allowed to come into diri ect contact with the roots. BarnI yard manure should never be used ,in evergreen plantings, for it is too strong, especially if used near the roots. Cultivation is another important item. Trees growing in poor soil, especially where it is packed, should be cultivated as deeply as possible without injuring their roots. Fertilizing the top-soil with well-rotted barnyard manure is also very beneficial. Large trees may ibe fertilized by digging a trench i around the tree and 3 or 4 feet out from it. Trenches are then dug ’ radiating out from the tree to the circular trench. Well-rotted manure is put in these trenches and soaks into the ground and feeds the tree. Improvement in an old tree can usually be noted in a short time through this procedure. Control of Pests by Spraying Trees should be watched carefully, especially in summer, to detect insect pests and fungus dis--1 noticed, they should be eradicated, eases, and as soon as any such are Spraying trees is the usual method of control. A few of the most common insect enemies of the important or generally planted trees are the tussock moth, bronze birch j borer, jiMd scale insects, especially uie cottony maple scale and the

European elm scale. Trees are plants, like wheat and corn, but instead of a life of one year, they continue to beautify the area in which they grow for many years. Mature trees in the United States range in age from 40 to more than 4,000 years. With prop-j er care and without accident, the i average evergreen should have a life well over a hundred years, 1 while the hardwood shade varieties begin to deteriorate usually on- j ly after two hundred years of life. ! o I Union Organizers Are Beaten At Ford Plant Chicago May 12 —(UP) — An attorney for the United automobile' workers of America charged today I that three union organizers were ' beaten and severely injured outside I the gates of the Ford Motor Com-1 , party’s South Chicago plant after attempting to distribute literature

Many Italians and Indians regard coral as protection against the “evil eye.” The world’s red coral comes from the reefs off the Mediterranean coast of Africa, #ays the Washington Post, and is obtained chiefly by Italians

REBELS SUFFER HEAVY LOSSES Bloodiest Fighting Os Basque Campaign Takes Heavy Toll Ilenday. Franco-Spanish Frontier, May 12— (U.R) —Mount Biscargl. dominating Bilbao's outlet to the sea, was recaptured by Basque troops, in a strong counteiattack today, according to a loy alist war communique. Gen. Emilio Mola's invading nationalist troops suffered heavy 1 losses, the communique reported. The strategic point, from which Mola's artillery could sweep the Nervion river Estuary leading to the Basque capital, has changed bands three times in the last 48 hours In the bloodiest fighting of j the Basque campaign. Both sides claimed Rigoitia, i near the center of the crescentshaped battle lines eight miles east of Bilbao, as the Basque counter-attack was extended all along the line. At the southern end of the battle line, loyalists reported repulsing a nationalist attack on Arnorebieta, th>* Basque “Marne" on the I Burango road. Mola's aviation again harrassed the loyalist army today after hav- ! ing been grounded for two days ’by bad weather. Basque reports asserted that Mola's forces, composed of Ital . ians. Moors and Germans of his foreign legion, and the Spanish Falangists and Carlists militias, had been pushed back from vantage points they won earlier in the day when they broke through the loyalists lines and swept forward to within six miles of Bilbao. Reports from nationalist sources said the last two days’ fighting had been the bloodiest of the atmi paign. Official nationalist dispatches reported that 1,000 Basque loyalists had been killed and 2,500 wounded in the last 48 hours. Rei ports from other sources said nationalist casualties were equally high. —< o IRISH IGNORE I CONTINU ED FjttOM PAGE ONE) treatment were Frank Ryan and : Tom Barry, who led the procession.

In O'Connell street the rioters were addressed by a speaker who 1 bled from cuts on the nose and head. His hand was bandaged. This crowd was dispersed but the rioting continued. Two youths wearing coronation emblems were beaten so badly they needed hospital treatment. The demonstrators said their parade was meant to "repudiate the coronation of an English king i as king of Ireland.” Four hundred police were re-
