I Too Much Mulch Can Hurt Windbreak LINCOLN Mulching Is one method of reducing weed growth in a windbreak planting, but too much of it can be dam aging. However, heavy mulch does not permit light rainfall to reach the soil and benefit the trees. It will harbor rodents that olten damage the trees. Mulch ing tends to induce shallow rooting of trees and shrubs, making them more susceptible lo drought damage. In studies conducted with heavy mulches on windbreak trees, the practice lias reduced the survival and growth. Clean cultivation or the pro per use of chemlcaLs have pro ven far superior to mulching in getting windbreak trees success fully established. If a mulch is used it should be a light one, not over an Inch thick. Corn cobs, woodchips, hay or .straw, may be used for mulching, according to Univer sity of Nebraska Extension foresters.

Dingman A touch of winter remained, in this area over the weekend as several grains of snow fell and the temperature remained below the 32 mark for a time. To our out-of-town readers: this was not an April Fool's joke. During the past month we had a.i average high tempera ture of 43.57 (47.0 Ls normal) and an average low temperature of 23.28 (28.1 is normal). So, that makes the month about 418 degrees below normal. Our five hottest days were: 78.7, 28th; 74.0, 27th; 63.2, 26th; 58.6, 25th; and 57.0, 24th. Our five coldest days were: -14.7, 1st; -4.9, 6th; 6.5, 2nd; 7.0, 4th; and 8.6, 5th.

So far this year we have had an average high of 36.44 and an average low of 16.69 (so that makes us about 2.2 below nor mal). The temperature range: Time Day Thurs. Fri. . Sat. . Sun. P.M. Pres. Hi.
