Burtwistle, who operates on the Holt-Wheeler county line, was in the county agent’s office re cently and made his yearly tree or der. In the past 10 years, Mr. Burt wistle has ordered and planted more than 19,000 Clarke-McNary trees. Most of these trees are red cedars. All of these trees have been planted by hand. Mr. Burtwistle outlined his planting method. He plows a single furrow and throws the ridge over to the south side (or west). His planting equipment is a spade and shingle. The trees are planted “two big steps apart.” The spade is used to make a pie shaped slit in the soil, the seedling is dropped in and the shingle is used to push the roots to the bottom of the crevice. Then with a couple firm steps on each side of the seedling he moves to the next. The rows are spaced “three big steps apart.” Mr. Burtwistle maintains the seedlings by mowing the grass and weeds until they are strong enough to fend for themselves. The follow ing season he takes a spade and slopes the back furrow around the young tree. This process prevents overhang of weeds and grass on the young cedars. If you ask him, he will tell you that he thinks that cedars are the finest tree for this country. He feels they are “hardy, long-lived and beautiful.” In fact, Mr. Burtwistle likes nothing better than to dress up an old eyesore (blow out) with green living trees. This is how he proceeds on blowout planting: First, he “hays down” the blowout. Next, he uses a team and walking plow to plow the furrows. He feels he can get in to the hard to reach places and not expose himself to safety hazards otherwise encountered with use of a tractor. Next, the trees are planted and the area is fenced to keep livestock out. To do a good job several rows of trees must be used. In a few ( years a detrimental eye-sore is changed to a beautiful asset. , Several Holt county ranchers and farmers have ordered and planted ( at least one thousand Clarke-Mc Nary trees each year. Trees are a regular crop to some of these men, like corn and cattle. Records show that in the past 10 years 417,000 ' Clarke-McNary trees have been planted in Holt county. I “Now is the time to be seeing about your Clarke-McNary seedling | tree orders,” County Agent A. Neil Dawes explains. These trees, both | broadleaf and evergreen, can be ordered here at the extension | office. Tall broadleaf species offer ed are Chinese Elm, American | Elm, Honeylocust, Green Ash, Black Locust and Cottonwood. / Each of these species are recoin- ' mended for this part of the state. | Medium to short trees offered are ' Russian olive, Russian mulberry, , boxelder and wild plum. Prices for I broad leaves are $2.75 per hundred. Evergreen transplants offered | are red cedar, ponderosa (yellow) pine and Austrian pine. All of these \ species are recommended for Holt county. The price on evergreens is | $3.25 per hundred. As well as offering evergreen | and broadleaf trees, the Clarke McNary act offers a small selection | of woody shrubs. These shrubs are Nanking Cherry, Cottoneaster and | Tartarian honeysuckle. Woody shrubs can be used for 1 the low growing plants on the north or west sides of a shelterbelt. i A planting of any of these woody shrubs provides a haven for pheas ants, grouse, quail and other wild life. They also make very attrac tive coarse borders for the barn yard, lane or orchard. Prices on I shrubs are $4.50 per hundred. — —.trpuj 3aijjv ox Cpl. Paul W. Moseman, jr., of Ft.
