Mtancasiar FamA*. Saturday,-Aprti i*. t«M THIS WEEK WIT National Arbor Day The fourth Fnday in April (April 24, this year) is now the day most commonly observed for Arbor Day in our country. If you’ve ordered trees from a mail-order nursery and they arrive with the plant roots wrapped but bare of soil, be sure to keep them moist until you can put them in their final places. If they arrive before you’re ready, consider “heeling them in,” which means covenng the roots and a bit of the stem withtwet sawdust or com posted soil If they amve with some JB soil around them, you’ve got time to spare. Be sure you dig the hole at least a foot wider and deeper than the root ball You’ll be glad you did. He who toils with pain will eat with pleasure. It's of no use to carry an umbrella if your shoes are leaking.
