Arbor Day Will Be Observed April 30 By NEVYLE SHACKELFORD LEXINGTON (Spl.) On a spring day, 'way back in the fifth century, citizens of the tiny Swiss village of Brugg decided to beautify their little town by planting oak grove on the commons. Banding together, they went to a distant forest, gathered up more than a dozen bushels of acorns, and planted them on this plot of ground. But for some reason not known or explained by the ancient chronicler of the event, the acorns did not sprout or grow. The people, however, were determined, and on another appointed day in spring, again traveled en masse to the forest. This time they dug up oak seedlings and employed a competent gardener to superintend the transplanting and care of the little trees.
After the job was done, each boy and girl in the group was given a sweet roll and that night the mayor treated all adults to a feast and a frolic in the town hall. In the course of years a fine grove resulted from this cooperative endeavor, furnishing cooling shade, rest, recreation, and much enjoyment for the inhabitants and their descendants. For years afterwards, as the legend goes, the anniversary of this tree planting was observed by the citizens of Brugg with feasting and appropriate ceremonies. And, it is also said, that to this day similar observances with the distribution of wheaten rolls to children still exist in many villages of Switzerland. This worthy Swiss event may have been the forerunner of Deaths Sue Cates, 63, Dies In Paint Lick PAINT LICK (Spl.) Sue Masters Cates, 63, died at 3:30 a.m.

But in any case, it was back in 1872 in Nebraska that a similar tree-planting festival was held and which is now observed annually through the United States. It began in this country when, deploring the fact that his native State of Nebraska was almost treeless, J.
Sterling Morton, Secretary of Agriculture under President Grover Cleveland, suggested to the Governor of that state that the citizens duplicate the efforts of the citizens of Brugg. Acting upon this suggestion, the Governor issued a proclamation designating Arbor Day, and asked that the schools and citizens observe the day with appropriate exercises tree planting. This first Arbor Day in the United States was eminently successful, and, old accounts say that the setting sun on April 10, 1872, saw over a million trees planted in Nebraska. Secretary Morton lived long enough to see Arbor Day adopted in more than 40 States and Territories; to record millions of trees added to the landscape; to. see thousands of school houses and other places, both public and private, change bare cheerless surroundings for those of comfort and beauty; and to have the great personal satisfaction of knowing that he had been a factor in fostering a greater love and concern for the school, home, and This year on April 30, according to Dr.
Richard Henley of U.K. Department of Horticulture, numerous groups in Kentucky community leaders, schools, garden clubs, homemaker, clubs, youth organizations and others will be involved in Arbor Day activities. Projects will vary according to the groups, but all projects will be predicated on the planting of trees to enhance the beauty and wonder of the State. To assist these groups, Dr. Henley has a limited number of Arbor Day packets beneficial to leaders planning or organizing Arbor Day projects.
For as long as they last, these packets may be secured by writing Dr. Henley at the Department of Horticulture, Agricultural Science Center, N-308, University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky 40506. In its broad significance it must be said that Arbor Day has now far outgrown the thought of its founder. Where once it signified little more than the planting of a tree, it is now closely related to the whole natural resource conservation movement.

By using adequate amounts of the proper nutrients, Kentucky farmers may improve the yield and quality of their Burley tobacco, according to Dr. J.H.
Smiley, tobacco specialist for the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture. Because of the importance of fertilization, farmers should give a great deal of attention to the physical and chemical characteristics of the soil in deciding upon the amount of fertilizer. Soil tests and previous cropping history are helpful guides in estimating fertilizer and lime needs for specific fields. For liming, Dr. Smiley recommends the following tips: Soil acidity affects the availability of added fertilizers and the efficiency of the fertilizer used.
Certain fertilizers, particularly nitrogen fertilizers, increase soil acidity. Soil pH near the middle of the growing season is 0.5 to 1.0 pH unit lower than Airman Paul S. Baugh, son of Mr. and Mrs. Luther R.
Baugh of Route 1, Harrodsburg, has received his first U.S. Air Force duty assignment after completing basic training at Lackland AFB, Tex. The airman has been assigned to a unit of the Tactical Air Command at England AFB, for training and duty as a fuel specialist. Airman Baugh is a 1970 graduate Mercer County High School. prior to fertilizing with high rates of nitrogen fertilizers, and this fact should be considered in any liming program for tobacco.
Limestone will correct soil acidity more effectively if applied and mixed with the soil in the summer or fall before tobacco is to be grown. If agricultural limestone is applied on strongly acid soil in the spring, half of it should be plowed under and half disked in after plowing. Nitrogen, is an important element in the development of yield and quality in burley tobacco. Lack of nitrogen reduces the yield and lowers the quality, however, an oversupply of nitrogen delays maturity and may also lower the quality. For silt loam or clay loam soils where a good grass sod or small grain cover crop is plowed under, 200 to 250 pounds of nitrogen per acre will generally be sufficient.
When the sod plowed under is rated poor, or on sandy soils, 250-300 pounds of nitrogen per acre should be applied. When the tobacco is grown two or more years in the same field, increase the nitrogen fertilization by 50 pounds per acre. A deficiency of phosphorus in the soil results in poor quality tobacco. Because soils differ greatly in levels of available phosphorus, the amount needed from fertilizer will vary considerably. Seventy-five to 200 pounds of P205 per acre will be sufficient for tobacco grown on soil testing medium or low in phosphorus.
Soils that are high in available phosphorus will probably show no response to phosphorus fertilization. However, if the soil test indicates the available phosphorus is between 60-100 pounds per acre, 50-75 pounds of P205 per acre should be applied. High levels of potassium burley tobacco leaf are usually associated with desirable quality, and may contribute to disease resistance of plants in- the field. Soils that test medium or low in available potassium, certainly should have applications of 200 to 400 pounds of K20 per acre. Potassium fertilizers used for burley tobacco should always be low in chlorine.
