Trees Planted After Long Rainy Delay
Dogwood and redbud planting during Fix-up, Clean-up, Paint-up Week in the Town of Washington was delayed for ten days by every possible weather condition and rhey were finally delivered Monday amid snow flurries. The Future Farmers of America dug the trees under the sponsorship and supervision of their teacher, F. S. Boze and Raymond Johnson, State Forester.
It rained at long last for the first time in weeks on the Friday that they were to be dug. After the weather cleared the ground was so soggy that two trucks were stuck in an attempt to get them, but now the well rooted plants have been delivered and not only residences but the Library grounds should have red and white blooms next spring.
