Were diversifying
our" mix" of
generating plant fuels...
to keep
your electric service
dependable.
For more than 30 years, natural gas was the only fuel
used in Texas Power & Light Company generating plants.
It was economical in cost and there was an abundant
supply available.
However, in recent years, the cost of gas has risen
enormously and the supply is becoming increasingly
uncertain.
During periods of cold weather in the last several
years, and again this year, supplies of gas were curtailed
drastically. TP&L used large quantities of oil to keep its
plants operating.
Since 1971, TP&L has been steadily reducing its
dependency on gas and oil with plants which use lignite
coal as fuel. Lignite is a more economical fuel and it’s
readily available from huge deposits right here in Texas.
Electricity is now being produced by two lignite-fueled
plants in the TP&L area, one other is under construction
and others are being planned.
TP&L and two other North Texas electric companies
have a nuclear-fueled plant under construction. The first
of two generating units is scheduled to be placed in
operation in 1980 and the second in 1982.
It’s essential that TP&L continue planning and
building new generating plants to make possible use of
lower cost and more readily available fuels and, at the
same time, keep your electric service dependable.

diameter. Long-handled
lopping shears are needed
for timber one-half to one
inch in diameter. Branches
larger than one inch in
diameter should be cut
with a pruning saw.
4. Make all cuts flush
with the trunk. Stubs don’t
heal properly and the
decay and deterioration
spreads down the trunk of
the tree until wind topples
it.
5. Seal big cuts with
pruning paint. Use the
pruning paint on cuts
larger than one inch in
diameter to ward off
insects and diseases.
Improper pruning of
trees can be just as bad or
worse than not pruning
them at all, emphasizes
James R. Risinger, county
agent for the Texas Agri-
cultural Extension Service.
On the other hand, proper
pruning can turn a tree or
shrub into a beautiful plant
specimen.
Risinger offers 10 poin-
ters to consider as far as
the pruning operation is
concerned:
1. Do not top trees.
Topped trees often die
because the topped bran-
ches cannot heal, thus

bacteria. Also, side bran-
ches below topped stubs
are usually weaker and are
subject to wind damage.
2. Prune at the right
season. Prune deciduous
trees and shrubs, vines,
ground covers and ever-
greens during the winter.
However, an exception is
that spring flowering
shrubs such as azaleas,
forsythia, bridal wreath
and gardenias should be
pruned after flowering.
3. Use proper tools. Hand

6. Repair damaged
plants at once. Plants
should be kept healthy
year-round; this means
pruning damaged twigs or
branches.
7. Use common sense
when pruning. Watch for
limbs that may fall over
power lines or damage
other property.
8. Always prune after
transplanting. Pruning is
especially important for
balled and burlapped
plants; this compensates
for roots lost during
digging.
9. Beware of the door-
to-door pruner. If you can’t
handle the pruning job
I yourself, hire someone with
