SACRIFICE TO PROGRESS Roaring flames consume
the Ohio Building, one of the few remaining structures
ot San Francisco's 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition. The
old landmark, moved by barge to San Carlos, Calif., 40
years ago, was put to torch to make way for an asphalt
plant to be constructed on the site.
Winter Toll of Trees Left
Unprotected Claimed Great
Kent. O. iU.R There is no
winter wonderland for the trees
nd shrubs that are left unpro
tected in the cold and savage
storms.
Winter's tragic tree toll is as
great perhaps as the combined
ravages of insects and disease in
warm weather, according to tree
expert Martin L. Davey Jr.
Countless thousands of orna
mental trees and shrubs are in
jured each winter season, often
fatally. Evergreens - are among
the most common victims of
snow, ice, sleet and bitter cold.
Hard Hit By Snow
Unlike deciduous trees, ever
green shrubs are hard hit by
snowstorms because of . their
large surfaces and their tens of
thousands of needles and leaves.
Evergreens frequently are so
badly twisted and deformed by
heavy snows that they never
completely recover.
Almost all of the decorative
plants have been developed to
meet certain' demands of color,
texture and shape, with little
consideration to physical struc
ture. These include most yews,
junipers, arborvitae, retinospo
ras. hollies, rhododendrons,
azaleas, and many deciduous
shrubs, especially those with
pendulant twigs and branches.
Since most of them are grown
or trained to desired forms, it is
a good practice to give the main
stems solid, permanent support
by tying securely to a stake, pre
ferably a piece of one-inch pipe
concealed within the plant and
driven deep in the ground. Such
a support will hold the main
item upright even though tons
of snow . weigh down the
branches.
Two simple household tools,
the broom and the hose, are
among the most effective
weapons against winter's on
slaughts. Us Garden Hot
A broom should be used to
sweep away snow from the cen
ter of the plant as well as the
branch tips. Wet snow should
not be allowed to accumulate on
young trees or shrubbery as it
might permanently delorm
every branch. !
A garden hose is perfect for
melting away ice crustings, so .
long as outside temperatures are
not so low that the water also
will freeze. Water from city
mains usually is well above
freezing and can be used safely
while the air temperature is
above 26 or 27 degrees.
Don't spray hot water on icy .
trees, however, as branches
might be scalded. And don't try
chipping or breaking ice as this
is a good way to snap off frigid
limbs.
Salt or other chemicals should
never be used to melt ice on
trees and shrubs. They are dead- ;
ly poison to plants. Washed over
lawns, chemicals will kill grass
and get to the roots of nearby
trees as well.
Wrapping Protects
Pyramid-shaped plants can be
protected from most winter
woes by wrapping them in over
coats consisting of spiraling ,
strips of burlap or other heavy j
fabric. This practice is especial- j
ly recommended for Irish juni-,
per. Hicks yew and pyramidal :
forms of arborvitae. '
For boxwood and other semi-'
hardy varieties, a more elabor- '
ate form of protection may be i
arranged by driving four stout
stakes into the ground, just be
yond the greatest spread of
branches. The stakes should be
slightly taller than the highest
twigs. Wood strips should be
nailed from stake to stake, at
top and bottom, and digonally
across the top. This stout frame- j
work should then be covered j
with coarse burlap, neatly
tacked in place. The burlap j
should be coarse enough to ad-1
mit light and air. Ground around '
the plant should be mulched
with peat moss or leaves. j
Siorm Continues to Howl Northward
By UNITED PRESS
An Atlantic storm continued
to howl its way northward into
Deleware and New Jersey today
but the parched internal areas of
the nation did not receive the
relief of even a drizzle.
Tides began to rise and rain
fall increased in the middle
coastal states, but subsided in
Georgia and North Carolina.
Heavy rainfall was recorded
Wednesday, with Norfolk, Va
being dampened beneath 2.47
inches. Richmond, Va., also re
ceived more than one inch.
Meanwhile, a 25-mile stretch
of blazes in tinder-dry fields,
woods and brushland broke out
yesterday near Winchester, Ind.
The flames, apparently touched
off by shooting sparks from a
train, threatened thousands of
acres of vital cropland before
being brought under control.
A lack of rain raised Chicago's
dustfall to 56.1 tons per square
mile during September, com
pared with 43.8 tons for Sep
tember, 1953.
The rest of the country saw
little change in temperatures. A
mass of cool air eased across the
central and north central re
gions of the country, dropping
mercury in the upper Mississip
pi Valley, the Great Lakes and
the New England sections.
There was a slight tempera
ture drop in the northern Pa
cific coastal states, but the
northern border states were com
paratively warmer today.
Showers continued to drench
Texas and New Mexico, and
were also expected in Oklahoma
and parts of Kansas.
Union City. N.J. CU.R) The
City Commission had to vote an
over-expenditure item of S950
recently because the police were
doing such a good job. The
money was for purchase of a ma
chine to process the parking
tickets handed in a stepped-up
drive against violators.
