From Thursday's Dally In spite of the fact that numerous other important activities within the city prevented the local citizens from hearing an address the one given last evening was one which everyone seldom hears and knows the least about given by Clayton W. Wat kins, who represents the forestry ex tension department of the agricul tural college, Lincoln, fourteen were able to be present to receive the necessary knowledge and helpful fact3 regarding the planting and caring of trees. This worthwhile pro gram was given by the Plattsmouth Garden club members, who met in the reception room of second-story in the Bekins building. Attorney A. L. Tidd, chairman of the conser vation committee, was program chairman. Presiding at the business session was Mrs. Luke Wiles, the garden club president. Owing to the illness of the society's secretary-treasurer, Mrs. Loui3 Ward Egenberger, Mrs. P. Y. McFetridge acted in that capacity. The society received a com munication from Mrs. Homer Moly neaux, Omaha, regarding garden club work among children over ten years of age and particularly those in 4-H groups. This was transferred to the Junior Department committee, which is composed of Mrs. William Schmidt mann, Jr., Mrs. Carl Ofe, and Mrs. Clement Woster. The year books were recently completed and were given out at the meeting. Clayton W. Watkins delivered the principal address of the evening. He spoke on "Trees." He enumerated the many uses that trees have in a yard, these being for shade, beauty. and screening some unsightly view. Mr. Watkins pointed out many trees such as the American elm, which is still the country's finest shade tree; English elm, a tree that is hard to find any more but one which stood unusually well during the drouth; Moline elm, a tree which Is well suited for parkways; golden willow, a tree that is generally found in back yards and surrounds pools; and last but not least, the Chinese Elm, a variety that has been most popular in the last few years. Mr. Watkins cited the maple tree as one that is hard to grow. The speaker also rendered advice on feeding, and watering trees, pruning them, and treating them when wounded. He also touched on the fertility of the soil and then told his listeners how to best fertilize the trees. He spoke convincingly of the practical use of fruit trees both as a producer of fruit and shade. Mr. Watkins offered many other helpful hints regarding the proper planting and care of trees regard less of variety. The address was one that held the closest attention of his audience and the program was one that was a rare treat to Plattsmouth garden lovers. A round-table discus sion followed the speech.
