Too often, trees are planted without much thought or planning, and then are staked and tied tightly so they have little chance of success One of the most common mistakes is placing a new tree in the middle of the lawn. Immediately you have developed a conflict between yo ur lawn weed k illin g practices and the .roots of your new tree. Dicamba, an excellent lawn weed killer, is a soil-active chemical which can be taken up by tree and shrub roots, and can k ill the young plant. “ Step num ber one in protecting the newly planted tree is to change your weed control practices,” McNeilan said. The second serious problem is the common a ilm e n t “ lawn mower ca n k e r.” Scars on the truck from contact with lawn m ow ing equipm ent can disfigure, deform and even k ill a tree in severe cases If a tree is planted in a lawn area, remove the grass for several feet around the trunk This won’t quarantee an end to lawn mower canker but it w ill minimize the chances for tree and mower contact, McNeilan said The agent’s final tip for protecting the young tree is to stake it loosely enough to allow it to move with the wind “ Tree trunks need to bend and sway with the wind A shade tree can be a durable part of the land scape,” McNeilan said, “ but the length of its life depends on your care and careful planning ” to grow a strong, tapered trunk,” he said “ Tight staking prevents the necessary movement. When the tree stake rots or breaks, the tree falls over ” ‘Routine’ jump a tragedy ESTACADA — It was going to be just another routine parachute jump for Dick Phelps when he took off with friend and pilot Ralph Hatley from the Estacada airfield Saturday afternoon Instead, it turried into tragedy. Hatley took the plane up to 5,500 feet over Estacada, where Phelps, a veteran of plunged to his death into the Shady Oaks A ir Park. Phelps left two children, Erin, 8 and Richard 4, as survivors But also feeling the loss were his fellow skydivers more than 600 jumps, leaped out. Hatley watched Phelps make his count and pull the ripcord. His main parachute was slow to open, so he pulled out the reserve chute. The two parachutes en tangled, and prevented each other from opening Phelps “ We were friends since 1964, when I first taught Dick to jum p,” recalled Hatley.
