Ike is Happy
To See Banquet
Season Ending
(A UNITED PRESS EXTRA)
By MERRIMAN SMITH
rnited Press White Houue Writer
WASHINGTON (UP) Back
stairs at the White House:
President Eisenhower Is happy
to see the local banquet season
drawing to a close. He is no de
votee of rich food and late, even
ings. In this waning 1954-55 banquet
and convention season, the Presi
dent has made it an Increasing
practice to pass up the meal itself
and "drop in" on a gathering for
a brief speech after the guests
have eaten.
His last major social function
of this season will be the Gridiron
Club dinner the night of May 7.
For that one, he'll arrive early
and stay late.
When former President Truman
was here recently, he. was dining
at the Mayflower Hotel where he
spotted Columnist Drew Pearson,
a frequent object of presidential
wrath when Mr. Truman was In
office.
The ex-president on this occasion
however, sent a note of personal
greetings to Pearson across the
dining room. Mr. Truman later told
friends he "now" finds the colum
nist a fine fellow.
This has been typical of other
past presidents. Once they are out
of office, out of the range of criti
cal fire, they can be downright
friendly toward former adversaries
and critics. Maybe it is the mellow
ing influence, of age.

This is Season When Trees
And Shrubs Get Trimming
This Is the season when shrubs
and trees take a trimming.
Arboreal tieauly treatments are
an important part of spring clean
ing, but too much haste may spoil
the job.
Mast deciduous shrubs shouldn't
be trimmed until after they have
flowered, advises Martin L.
Davey, Jr., (president of tlie Dav-
ey Tree Expert Co.). Premature
trimming may destroy buds before
they can display their beauty.
Pruning directly after the flowers
fall Is good time - tested practice.
tver greens should be given a
severe shearing late in March or
early in April. The freshly barbed
look will be gone by summer and
shrubs will be better groomed and
more vigorous.
But those evergreens which
show signs of winter injury
shouldn't be trimmed until the
growing season is well under way.
Cutting off dead - looking brown
sections may remove foliage that
would survive, if left intact. When
new growth appears on main
Stems and trunks, all injured
parts should be removed.
It's also a good idea to give
evergreens a spring bath. If they
grow in metropolitan areas or
smoky sections of the country,
chances are the leaves have be
come covered with soot during
winter months. Besides interfer
ing with tree breathing, soot cuts
off the sunlight needed for proper
health and growth.
Tree Feeding
A strong spray from a garden
hose, washing carefully from bot
tom to top, should be sufficient to
clean away most of the soot.
Evergreens require this season
al attention more than deciduous
sorts since they must wear the
same clothes for several years, in
stead of getting a new wardrobe
every spring.
Both evergreens and deciduous
trees may require extra food to re
cover from the rigors of winter.
It Is virtually impossible for them
to get the same food supply from
lawns and backyards as nature

provides in the woods.
For shrubs and shrub ever
greens, the quickest method is to
broadcast fertilizer over the en
tire bed area and incorporate it
into soil by cultivation.
For trees, feeding is done most
often by the punch bar or auger
method in order to spread fertili
zer throughout the root area. Holes
are punched about 18 inches deep
and spaced one foot apart. Equal
amounts of fertilizer are placed in
each hole. Then the holes are
filled with loosely - packed peat
moss, shredded manure or topsoil.
