I've already noticed folks cleaning out their flower beds, raking their lawns, and getting ready to start the growing season. Due to the soaking rains of last week, many soils are still very wet and not ready to be worked. Farmers and gardeners are urged to be patient before starting their plowing or spading. Soils that are work- ed too wet now may not get frozen and will surely not be of mellow and fine texture for the rest of the season. Heavy farm ma- chines on these wet soils makes them so hard that crops will not do as well in them. We often have heard farmers say they keep check- ing the moisture content of their soils daily until they think they are ready to plow and work, and after that they stay out of the field for an additional day or two. Don’t be an ‘‘eager- beaver” and make your soil hard and clumpy for the rest of the season. DAIRYMEN THAT are graz- ing their milking herd of cows should give some at- tention at this time to the control of wild garlic in their fields; this onion-fla- vored weed is very hard on quality milk and could be the cause of the rejection of a tank of milk. Control may be attained over a period of years by spraying in early : spring when the plants are 3 to 6 inches high with 1-1/2 pounds per acre of the low volatile ester form of 2,4-D. By spraying early lit- tle damage will be done to any legumes that may be in the pasture mixture. g" «Vee. I'VE NOTICED the very sudden change in the color of lawns, pastures, and win- ter rye fields this past week. The green color reflects new growth due to the recent soaking rains. Livestock men that will- be grazing winter grains are cautioned about the importance of getting their animals accustomed to this lush forage gradually; otherwise, there may be se- vere scouring or bloating; animals should be turned on the area for only a short period of time at first and then only after they have had a feeding of some other form of dry matter such as hay or silage. Dairymen must be sure the cows graze only after the milking pe- riod and be kept from the area for at least 4 hours before the next milking. A well ventilated barn includ- ing exhaust fans will help prevent “grassy” flavor in the milk supply. THE PLOWING down of cover crops is a recommend- ed practice to replace barn- yard manure and to help maintain soil organic mat- ter. The stage of growth at which to plow requires at- tention and some coopera- tion from the weather; in many cases the spring rains continue and the ground is too wet to plow until the crop gets too large. Most crops such as ryegrass and bromegrass should be turn- ed when 4 to 6 inches high; small grains when from 6 to 8 inches high; there is little more value to permit them to get higher; the great organic matter wvalue is in the fibrous roots and not the top growth. When the growth gets too high, then it is best to apply ni- trogen fertilizer before plow- ing to hasten the decompo- sition of the cover crop. Formal procedures to re- solve employe - grievances are now available to all civil service and other State workers. The grievance pro- cedures will be applied uni- formly in all State agencies to resolve complaints which arise as a result of employes’ dissatisfactions with condi- tions of employment.

A tree destined for the city grows accus- tomed to life in a rural nursery, then is transplant- ed to a confining hole chip- ped out of a concrete side- walk. From there on, its food is such nourishment as may be extracted from a subsoil of tamped-down clay and bits of brick. Water is limited to that which seeps beneath the conerete or, maybe, from a leaky sewer line. Once established, a city tree is carved upon, scarred by vehicles, visited by dogs, has signs nailed to its trunk, and from time to time has its roots partially laid bare by the streets department. Surprisingly, urban trees survive most of these threats to life. Recently, however, we heard of a group of residents in Balti- more, Maryland; who re- fused the offer of free trees for curbside planting. They cited the following reasons: trees - require leaf-raking, they attract messy birds and caterpillars, and their roots crack sidewalks and clog sewer lines. One. antitree spokesman even suggested that trees, and tree-lovers, should be confined to the country. As both urbanite and tree-lover, we accept these criticisms but declare that trees are well worth the effort. We have yet to see a city which was not im- proved by shaded streets. Moreover, it is good for city-dwellers to have re- minders that theirs is an artificial environment highly dependent upon substances of life—such as fresh water and clean air—produced in rural surroundings. And as a practical matter, parking meters don’t give much shade on a hot afternoon. —Selected Marine Lance Corporal Nevin G. Hiestand, son of Mrs. Mary Hiestand of 103 S.
