Flowering shrubs that shed
their leaves in winter need ever-
grens with them. For instance, a
bright flower like flowering
quince is much more attractive
when seen against a background
of green shrubs than against a
fence or open space.
Consult a copy of C-150,
"Fruit Varieties for Texas," for
fruits adapted to your section of
the state. Get a copy from the
Extension Service agent's office.
It is well to remember that some
fruit trees are more showy than
some "ornamentals." Since some
grow tall like pears and apples
and others grow like sand plum
and currant. There are many
places where they can be used.
Their fruit is always useful.
It is better to plant a few well-
selected varieties, six or seven,
than all this list in one yard.

Let Us Rebuild Your Motor On Our Budget Plan
Latest Type of Wheel Balancer just installed
a good showing. Colors that go
well together should be near each
other. Flowering shrubs take up
less time, and in the long run are
less expensive and less work than
plantings of annual flowers. They
require less water once they are
eastablished. A few weeks neglect
and quick weed growth or dry
weather kills young flowering
plants just coming from seed.
This same neglect would have lit-
tle effect on shrubs that had been
growing two years or more.
Pruning once a year when the
spring - blooming shrubs drop
their flowers makes them produce
more and ibetter flowers. Flowers
that bloom all spring and summer
or abloom after July 1 should be
pruned in winter, usually in De-
cember, January, or February.
Although fewer insects and
diseases are fatal to shrubs than
to flowers grown from seed each
year they need spraying occasion-
ally. See B-132, "Plant Diseases
in Texas and Their Control," and
C-197, "Save Victory Gardens
from Insect Pests."
To find "new" shrubs that are
well adapted, study native plants
in pastures, canyons and along
streams. The natives have been
greatly neglected. A year's care
often improves them so much
that it is hard to ibelieve they are
the same plants that came from
the woods. Look for hardy and at-
tractive shrubs at the neighbors'
homes, in parks, and in the road-
side plantings. A list of them is
helpful when buying at the nurs-
ery for your home grounds.
Twelve may make a dozen, but
only a few make a million.

MAD A SQUEAL..
Pork packers take pride in saving "everything but the squeal." The cotton
industry, too, is making valuable by-products of everything produced in the
field. The wonders of chemurgy have given new values to the cotton seed
and the stalk, and new promise to the fruits of Texas soil.
This is adding worth to Nature's resources... putting them to
work for mankind. This is practical conservation.
It's the same way with natural gas, for gas would be worthless if
It remained unused in the ground. It takes companies like United
Gas — gathering, processing, transporting it...making it avail-
able for use — to give it value. A natural resource thus
conserved furthers industrial development, creates
';h, jobs, benefits every family in Texas.

COTTON
Texas is cotton capital of the nation, producing
1,650,000 bales on six million acres. Texas cotton
farmers received over 278 million dollars for
their lint and more than 49 million dollars
for their seed in one recent year. Yes, and
thousands of other Texans earn their living in th«
handling or processing of cotton. This is Free
Enterprise at work—private capital and private
citizens working together to bring prosperity
to Texas and all her people.
NATURAL OAS serves more.,.
costs less than ever before.
