Is Texas Arbor Day
College Station, Jan. 17 —
Arbor Day traditionally is set
aside as a time to commemorate
trees, says Bill Smith, Extension
forester, Texas A&M University.
Most communities devote part
of the day to planting and cul-
tivating trees.
The first Texas observance of
Arbor Day took place in Tem-
ple in 1889. Arbor Day, as we
know it, was first observed in
1872, in Nebraska, a state with
few trees. Now, it is a holiday
in nearly every state.
Program materials for schools
youth groups, garden clubs and
other groups are available from
County Extension offices.
Everett Janne, A&M Exten-
sion landscape horticulturist, of-
fers these tips for those who
may be planting trees on Arbor
Day:
If you’re planting a bareroot
tree, dig the tree pit large
enough to hold the roots with-
out bending or breaking; do not
cut roots to fit the hole.
It’s best, he says, to prune
back the top growth to com-
pensate for roots lost in digging
and transplanting. Do this by
removing about 1-2 of each
branch, making the cut to an
outside bud.
If the tree is balled or bur-
lapped, don’t dig the hole any
deeper than the depth of the
ball. Many trees are killed by
planting them too deep.
A tree more than 4 feet tall
should be staked, so the top will
not blow back and forth in high
winds.
Watering at the time of plant-
ing is important. Finally, wait
until the plant is well establish-
ed before applying fertilizer, ad-
vises the horticulturist.

GUN SHOE,
PALEFACE
WARDEN KIN
Rockport—A state game war-
den, in his regular patrol work,
is likely to contact just about
any one. Warden J. D. Gorman
of Zapata was surprised re-
cently, however, when he con-
tacted an Indian Game Warden
from Montana.
While on routine patrol, Gor-
man met Bill Gun Shoe, a full-
blooded Crow Indian, who was
in South Texas with his family
gathering herbs used by the
tribe in making medicine.
Gun Shoe is one of the four
TO WED — Plans for the wedding of Miss. Jeannette Foster and
Pvt. Oscar Lee Tousek are revealed by her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Victor Foster Sr. of Shiner. The couple plans to be married Sun-
day, January 23, 1966 in the Saints Cyril and Methodius’ Catho-
lic Church in Shiner. The prospective bridegroom’s parents are
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Tousek of Moulton.
I look at it, Congress is already
passing more laws than we can
handle, and it’s possible what
this country needs is not faster
voting but slower clerks. No
telling how many laws we could
have missed last year alone if
the House clerk had been just
a little tongue-tied.
Speed isn’t everything. There
are people who are dreaming
now of the day when airplanes
will be so fast you can get from
New York to Los Angeles in
30 or 40 minutes. Leave New
York after breakfast, they say,
fly to Los Angeles, and be back
home for lunch. I guess this is
all right, but for years now I’ve
had breakfast and gotten hun-
gry again in time for lunch
without ever having to leave
this farm. Any time I have to
travel across the United States
and back to eat lunch, I’m go-
ing to see a doctor.
Yours faithfully,
J. A.

The Peach Creek Philosopher Not
Much In Favor Of Speeding Up
Congress' Method Of Voting
Editor’s Note: The Peach Creek
Philosopher on his Johnson
grass farm on Rt. 3, Shiner has
found out Congress is back in
session, his letter this week in-
dicates.
Dear editar: t
Congress hadn’t anymore than
gotten underway last week
when I found a copy of The San
Antonio Express with an article
in it—if you’re wondering
where I found
it, it was spread
out by the wind
against the back
screen door and
when I went
out I didn’t
even have to
bend over to
get it, just sort
of wipe it off my face—which
already was complaining about
the slowness of Congressmen.
According to it, Congressmen
spend too much time answering
to their name on votes and quo-
rum calls.
“In an age when electronics
allows us to take pictures of
Mars and transmit them over
134 million miles of space,” the
article said, “the House spent
five entire workweeks in less
than ten months last year an-
swering, in turn, to 435 names
deliberately intoned by two
clerks—a total of over 240,000
times.”
