PRUNING PUBLICATION
AVAILABLE . .
The season is at hand when
many home owners will be prun-
Servioe Technicians he has work-
ed up a woodland Conservation
Plan on each of his woodland
tracts. The firiT;- tract was
planned in 1937 for applying
woodland conservation practices.
According to the soil the site was
determined as an 80 foot site for
Loblolly pipe. This meaning that
on this softl site, Loblolly,, .pine
should grow 80 feet tall ift 58
years. Therefore an 80 foo| site
is determined to ,dev planned for
a- six year cutting cycle. On this
basis David has made plans to
make cuttings at regular inter-
vals and at the same time his
woodland will Improve both in
quality and quantity.
On the first tract planned Mr.
David has made a thinning, a
harvest cut, and has girdled all , , ....
of the worthless trees, and pro-! sbrubs and Plants around
tected it from fire and overgraz-, th*lr homes; . , '
ing. This was done as planned { Pruning Plan<s is an art which
to do this, there were numerous
undesirable hardwood species
that had to be removed.
Another objective that he had
in mind was to provide the op-
timum number of trees in the
Stand with sufficient room to
grow and expand without wast-
ing space.
In order to accomplish this,
Mr. Collins has set up a thinning
schedule to improve these dense
stands by selecting and marking
the poorer quality merchantable
trees for cutting on basis of
species, .form, quality, or defect.
These Winnings are made every.:
five years. Ip addition to this,
Collins selects harvest trees to
be cut »t the rate of one crop
tree per acre per year. ’ •
Protection from Tire and over-
grazing is another essential part
Qf his plan. This is accomplished
by the use of cross-fences to con:
trol and restrict grazing and by
utilizing existing streams and
roads to protect his woodland
from wild fires.
By applying sound woodland
conservation Collins has devel-
oped a conservation plan that is
contributing to the conservation
of soil, water, and plant re-
sources.
when needed which places this
tract of woodland on mainten-
ance until the next scheduled
cutting operation is due. David
says, “It is easy to make plans
on your woodland, apply sound
improvement practices, then set
back and watch it grow.”
1 T. E. Collins
District Supervisor T. E. Col-
lins whose farm is located in the
.Camp Ruby Community is prac-
ticing sound woodland conserva-
tion: Mr. Coljins became a Coop-
erator with the Polk County Soil
Conservation District in 1948.
With the assistance of technicians
with. the Soil Conservation Serv-
ice a complete basic conservation
plan was developed to “use each
acre of land within its capabil-
ities and to treat each acre in
keeping with its needs for pro-
tection and improvement”
In the development of the plan,
Collins decided that & large part
of the farm would be left in
woodland. HoweVer, in order for
this part of the farm to be pro-
ductive a great deal of work and
management had to be completed.
His objective was to establish a
large per cent of the total stand
in right kind of trees. In order
you have no good reason to
prune, put the tools away.
Pruning tools should be of high
quality, sharp and well adapted
to the job at hand. These tools
are made in several sizes so the
purchaser should decide which
size is best suited to his npeds.
The Texas Agricultural Exten-
sion Service has released a bul-
le tin-which contains a wealth of
information for the home pumer
' This1’ pubKeatih, B-977, “Mod-
em Pruning Methods” gives a
complete discussion on the reasons
for pruning, pruning tools, prun-
ing methods, safety rules, and
contains a list of suggested read-
ing material plus special sections
on pruning shrubs and small
trees, hedges, evergreens and
roses.
Copies of this bulletin may be
obtained from my office in the
County Courthouse in Livingston.

PLANT ROSES NOW . . .
In Texas roses can either be
fall or spring planted, however,
better results are usually ob-
tained when fall planted.
Aim for quality and you may
also get quantity. Many garden-
ers try to grow too many vari-
eties or too many plans. Given
careful attention, ten well chosen
varieties will produce as many
flowers'-and give far more plea-
Stfte than fifty poorly- tended
plants.
Essentials for
roses are: proper planting a sunny
location and well-drained soil.
Start with No. 1, grade plants,
and have the ground ready when
the plants arrive. Make sure
roots are never exposed to sun-
light or drying winds.
For details orjH selection, soil
preparation, pruning and care, of
roses, get a copy of TAP-1 —
Roses For Texas — from your
county extension agent’s office.
