Tree Planting Explained To Garden Group Members of the Garden Group of AAUW learned how to plant and care for fruit and pecan trees when A. H. McCutcheon was guest speaker Tuesday at the home of Mrs. J. D.

Foster, 3205 Live Oak. He told the women that particular attention should be given to preparing of the soil because of its acid content in this area. To counteract the lime substance he suggested working in sulphur about eight inches deep. In digging, he said, the hole should be larger than the root system and nine inches of dirt should be put on one side and then the other in order that some of the top soil would be placed around the roots. Mr.

McCutcheon placed special emphasis on the fact that the tap root must be planted straight down. Should it curl the tree might die. In discussing tree feeding, the speaker suggested nitrogen in the spring and mixed fertilizer in the fall.
