arguing about the best sites for nests be starting soon.

Chances are lots of folks will spend more time than usual out of this spring pampering victory gardens. Chances are novices in vegetable gardening will get to hankering to plant a few bushes or trees. PELOW ARE excerpts from a talk by A.

T. Potts, pioneer Valley horticulturalist whose principal hobby has been the planting of 'rees. since this region has comparatively few. Palms are pictures he admits and Valley folk should plant more of them, but not for shade. There are several good nativa shade trees, he points out The native ash tret stood the 1033 storm better than any others.

The only tree that compared in hardiness is the Chinese silk oak. sometimes called the silver oak which came not from China but Australia. It is as nearly free from pests as any tree that grows In the U. 5, because, they succeeded in importing the tree without bringing along any of its pests. It may have trouble with cotton root rot but there are few plants, except some of the grasses and a few rare others, that are not susceptible to this soil condition.

Gerald Harbert recently moved to Hock Texas with her family after three years spent in San Benito, She was especially active in the San Benito Garden Club, Learners Club, and in assisting the Red Croas She is a sister of J. L. Head of Harlingen.
