• •• * . ;• v,. y-’rJ-V/ THE NEWBEBRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, DEC. IP, 1960 N OT E S IluiStar (By County Agents) Transplant Shrubbery Now December and January are the best months for setting out or transplanting shrubbery. When a shrub is moved, even under the best conditions and by a compe tent nurseryman, the root sys tem is damaged, many roots are cut off and left behind, the others are restricted to a small com pact ball of soil. Shrubs often die, or appear in bad shape for a jprear or more after being trans planted, simply because the roots are not able to supply the water needs of the foliage. Transplanting shock may be re duced in several ways. Shrubs suf fer less if transplanted in early winter, in December or January xather than in March or April, since roots iflake some growth in •winter, and, in addition, the soil will become settled around the roots before top growth begins. Newly planted shrubs must be watered for one or two seasons until the root development has become better balanced with the top. Smaller plants suffer less transplanting shock than older and larger plants. Older plants, which must be moved, should oe pruned rather heavily at the time they are moved. This pruning re duces the foliage and enables the remaining root system to supply the water needs of the plant. Planting depth is also impor tant. Shrubs should not be set any deeper than they were - in the nursery. It is advisable to set shrubs slightly higher ttan they were growing in the nursery so that the top of the ball is about an inch above the. surrounding soil level. A plant set f ,top. deeply or buried too deeply by soil or old mulch around its trunk will gradually degenerate abd - die. Such a plant ma^y be removed and set at a higher level or the or mulch pulled away from the trpnk down to the proper soil Ifne. Pruning Mo3t shrubs after several years growth need to be pruned to both shape the plant and to keep the growth at the desired height. As with transplanting, now is the time to do such pruning, when the shrubs are most dormant. First, cut out all dead branches or twigs. Then cut any large limbs or branches that need to be removed. Finally cut the smaller branches needed to shape the plant as de sired. Shrubs can add a great deal to the value of a home both to. im prove the appearance and to in crease the value of the property. However, they do require a cer tain amount of care to grow pro perly. Doing those things at the proper time is important. Prevent Foot Rot Now that the barn lots are getr ting pretty muddy, cattle own ers should safeguard against foot rot. This ailment, causing lame ness in cattle can be prevented somewhat. The infection may be controlled by constructing a shallow box for limestone. The sides of the box may be made of 2x4’s placed on edge. The box should be placed where the cows will walk though it when entering or leaving the barn. In order to keep the. bj fairly clean of mud, it woi*" better to place it if possible the cows would walk through only when leaving the barn, after the feet have been washed. The box should be filled with either Agricultural Limestone or slaked lime. This treatment can be made more effective by adding 10 pounds of copper sulfate pow der mixed with 100 pounds of lime. Another control measure is to treat the feet of the animals by soaking in a trough or vat for 15 or 20 minutes. Fill the vat with a solution of copper sulfate dis solved in water in a proportion of 1 pound of copper sulfate (bluestone) to five gallons of wa ter. The solution should be deep enough to cover the affected area.

Respectfully submitted, { C. Walter Summer, C.P.A. depreciation on farm equipment the first year owned. This is over and above regular depreciation. It is called “additional first year depreciation,” and can be applied on equipment costing up to $10,- 000 on a separate return or $20,- 000 on a joint return. The entire amount may be on one item or spread over several. This has been law for two years, but has only recently been “spelled out” by the Government.

Yet it does seem that we have had quite a trial of weather this year in the United States. But one thing we can learn from the vicissitudes of the seasons. Remember the Old saying that Pi ■■■■■ ' vit far always easy to smile and have a word for the world w)*«t things are goto* ppfrjway. It is when adversity strikes ghat we most face a real test of character—and when we can gain so much more tgr tack ling life with an optimistic wm V; duty, as believing there is a rift- in the cloud through which the sun is seen still shining. And this is a good lesson to learn in all adversity—that the man who battles with a will, who meets difficulty head on. will grow strong and stronger as the day advances. . Next year we may forget how cold last winter was and bow hot last summer. And we may also forget the driving rains and the dash floods, if we remember that the rainbow appears in the sky even as it did over the garden of Eden. •*Wv,, W" .>7 Hi I m CttflH/arGflfeiws jtaetobeMcaW «n IWtfi Anniiteary Rose Hill, the Union County home of South Carolina’s 1860 gover nor, William Henry Gist, has been acouired by the State and will be dedicated on December 20, 1960.
