Early Erost I^ast Fall Damaged Trees Severely The full effect of the severe, cold weather and snow storm last fall, is just beginning to be ap-1 parent in O'Neill and vicinity, with the greatest loss to Chinese elms. In one planting of ten trees in O’Neill, six are gone, in another private planting of twelve trees, ten are tiead, and in practically j every yard there is one or more, of some variety, which appears to have been killed or badly damaged by the freeze. The loss in fruit trees is not great here, but the loss of every tree, whether fruit, shade or ornamental in this part of the country, which has suffered the loss of so many during the past ten years, because of drouth and extreme heat, the loss of even one tree is a tragedy. A great many of the experts claim that the sap was still running inside the tree at the time of the freeze and this froze, and while there is still sufficient sap to cause the buds to swell and even some leaves to appear the tree is dead. Some claim that if the roots are not injured, the tree may be cut off just below the ground, and the roots will send out a suck er, which in time will replace the original tree. Others claim, how ever, that the roots themselves are destroyed, and that the tree will have to be replaced. Food For Defense Program To Be Carried On In County Many farm and ranch families are doubtless wondering how they may best organize their operations to meet the demands for commodi ties needed in the national defense program. As a result of defense planning farmers in Holt county, as well as those in other parts of the nation, will be asked to step up production of essential defen < materials. Through the cooperation of the local county agricultural agent and the AAA organization in the coun ty, farmers will be urged to in crease production of food through a food for defense program in order that the' Hation may be able to develop the farm family food supply to insure health and relieve the commercial production for ex port as well as provide adequate supplies for domestic consumers at a reasonable price. The food for defense program will be built around three features: converting feed into food, grow ing into livestock and feeding the family for health. Project clubs, AAA committeemen and 4-H clubs will be used in distribu ting information in their usual manner through their local leader ship. A concentrated tprogram to con vert feed into rood by the use of more efficient feeding of livestock and the use of disease prevention methods will be carried out. En couragement to use all available feed, equipment and labor was given by the recent announcement from Washington that prices on certain commodities such as hogs, butter, eggs and chickens, are to be supported at minimum rates. Much emphasis is to be placed on feeding the family for health. The home garden which will furn ish an adequate supply of fresh vegetables as well as enough for! canning and storage will be en couraged as essential to health and national defense. Production of poultry and dairy products along with sufficient home butchering for the meat supply together with canning, storage and freezing demonstrations will be carried on. Throughout the county an effort will be made to acquaint farm families with the latest and most efficient methods of producing food for defense. Mr. and Mrs. C. E.
