Better Check Landscape
Plants Before Pruning

Three Mozelle Mustangs
On All-State 6-Man Team
It's still too early to tell
if most landscape plants
will recover from the
record-setting cold
weather in December.
With the spring season
still a few weeks off, home-
owners need to be patient
regarding the removal of
“dead” plants or pruning of
freeze-damaged plants,-
points out Kirby Vanover,
county agent with the
Texas Agricultural Exten-
sion Service, Texas A&M
University System.
The ability of freeze-
damaged plants to recover
mine the extent of the
injury. Pruning too soon
can result in either remov-
ing too much uninjured
wood or in not removing
enough damaged wood, in
which case the plant will
have to be pruned again
later.
Of course, some plants
will be so heavily damaged
or will not recover from
the freeze so that they will
have to be replaced. How-
ever, wait until warm
weather prevails to deter-
mine the status of your
plants, emphasizes Van-
to work the fertilizer into
the soil so the roots can use
it. ^
Of special importance is
to water landscape plants
regularly so that they don’t
undergo moisture stress,
emphasizes Vanover. This
is particularly important in
late spring and early sum-
mer when dry periods of-
ten plague the county.
If plants fail to make any
new growth by the end of
April or early May, they
likely will need to be
replaced, says Vanover.

Publishers or their re-
presentatives were invited
to lunch with Texas Tech
President Lauro F. Cava-
zos and to participate in an
open forum focusing on
education in Texas.
In welcoming the news-
paper representatives,
Cavazos cited the similar-
ity of goals for newspapers
and universities. In both
cases, he said, the goal is to
inform people.
"Universities provide a
formal education to inform
and discipline the mind and
to develop in people a
greater ability to think
critically and clearly", he
said.
“On the other hand, we
depend upon newspapers
to give us qur general
education-to keep us in-
formed about local, state,
national and international
events.
"It is important to our
nation”, he said, "that you
in media and we in the
universities both do our
jobs well because demo-
cracy cannot survive with-
out a well-educated elect-
orate."
Cavazos said tha. is the
intent of the university to
recognize also radio and
television stations as they
reach 100-year anniver-

spring and on proper cul-
tural practices.
Damaged plants will
often send out new shoots
from the roots, says Van-
over. Unless the plant was
budded or grafted, the new
growth will be the same as
the original plant.
Careful pruning of a
damaged plant can encour-
age compact growth and
make the plant attractive.
Remove dead or damaged
wood by pruning to good,
sound tissue. However, it’s
bpst to wait until new
growth starts before prun-
ing so that you can deter-
signs of growth on the
lower runners or shoots,
suggests Vanover. Once
the danger of a hard freeze
is past, cut back the dead
tops to allow the sun to
warm the soil and encour-
age new growth. Use a
weedeater or hedge shears
to remove brown tops in
liriope and mondo grass.
Fertilize all landscape
plants in late February or
early March to encourage
new growth. Vanover
recommends applying l-’/i
pounds of 12-12-12 fertili-
zer per 100 square feet,
