NENANA ABOUT
PLANTING 1REES
I
Superintendent of the Experiment
Station Offer* Suggestion* for
Use on Arbor Day
When the Commercial club first
took up the matter of setting out
trees it <v«s decided to appeal to
Mr. M. D. Snodgrass, the superin
tendent of che Alaska Agricultural
Experiment station at Fairbanks, for
information as to the best method
of planting. Following, in part, is
his reply:
Fairbanks, March 12, 1918.'
i
“H. B. Joseph, Secretary Nenana ;
Commercial Club, Nenana, Alaska.
“Dear Sir:—Replying to yours of
February 13th and 1th, I beg to say!
that our supply of vegetable and j
flower seed is exhausted. We will!
send you a few pounds of Petrowski;
turnip seed for distribution. This'
is the turnip that turns the worms
away and has given satisfaction1
throughout Alaska.
“Now as to the proposition of fur-'
nishing you with directions for the
planting or setting out trees, I must
j say that I am not an expert in that
j line. I have never given that sub
I ject close study. No doubt you
have forestry men in your community :
who could furnish you full directions |
regarding such work. However, I
will offer a few suggestions that
will not lead you far astray in your
efforts to plant trees in your city:
“In horticultural work we were im
pressed with the idea that trees
needed careful handling at all times
■ to insure perfect growth and de
velopment- In handling young trees
I it is necessary to avoid any bruising
whatever. In digging up the seed
- lings and young trees, care must be
- exercised to avoid breaking off the
branches, and to dig far enough
1 away from the trees to avoid cutting
1 or breaking any more roots than is
absolutely necessary. The more of
5 the finer roots that are left whole
5 the better. It usually pays to take
s up a considerable earth with each
f tree without allowing any loosening
t of the earth from the roots of the
1 tree. By digging a foot or more
• from the slhall tree and wrapping
r the undisturbed earth about the roots
1 with burlap before it is lifted from
■ the ground, will give the tree much
> better chance for growth without
2 setting it back like those where the
roots are bared and badly broken
r in digging them from the ground. I
) The larger the tree transplanted, the
more dirt should be left about the,
roots.
“The practice of transplanting
large trees is carried on after the j
- same fashion, but the digging is
3 usually done during the late fall
, when freezing has commenced, and,
i when the earth is frozen solid about j
the roots of the tree the same is!
j raised out of the ground and hauled
j on sled or otherwise to the pla^e
for setting, and there deposited in
holes prepared to receive it. In this
* manner there is little damage done
to a tree and its growth continues
undisturbed. This latter method is1
s to be recommended wherever possible
s in this country on account of the
. slow growth made by all native
- trees. In soil that will stand up
i well when digging about the roots,
fair sized trees may be handled in
the springtime in this manner. Care
must be taken not to bruise the
’ bark of the tree in taking from ex
cavation, but the lifting should be
1 done on the burlap under the roots
rather than by the tree alone.
“Birch trees six to eight feet high,
I have been transplanted in Fairbanks
j with very good results. The care
j after transplanting is quite as im
j portant as careful handling. Plenty
I of watering must be done the first
j year to insure the growth of the
j tree. Careful pruning is necessary
i in order that the foliage will not
draw too heavily on the broken
Iroot system. Tt is a safe plar to
prune as heavily as the roots have
been cut. Clean cuts must be made
on branches and roots. Ragged cuts
invite decay on the roots as well as
on the trunk of the tree. A aharp.
spade is as necessary as a sharp
knife in such work. Make all cuts
i
on branches up rather than down,
to avoid the tearing of the bark.

Bark wounds should be clean to
allow healing quickly.
“It must be born in mind that the
foliage of the tree prepares the
plant food gathered by the root sys
tem for the healing of the wounds
caused in the transplanting pioeess,
and for all new growth in roots and
branches.
“Soil moisture should be main-1
tained sufficient at all times to avoid
the wilting of the leaves until 'he
tree is growing well.”
SAM COMFORT SHINES
SHOES FOR FUND
The shoe shine stand at th^ Arctic
corner, owned and operated by Sam
Comfort, was the busiest place in
town on Saturday afternoon, the
announcement that he would shine
shoes for the Red Cross between
certain hours having resulted in a
rush business, the like of which was
never before recorded in Nenana.
Everyone in town wanted a shine
for the Sourdough ball, and the rush
of business Rave the genial polisher
the opportunity to distinguish him
self, both as a Red Cross booster,
and as a deft artist with the brushes.
As the result of his patriotic enter
prise, he has turned over to the Red
Cross the sum of 121.50 as his do
nation to the fund.
