TREE PHYSICAL
Pecan growers wanting peace
of-mind might do well to give
their trees a physical examina
tion, says Dr. G. G. Taylor,
horticulturist with the Coopera

examination or leaf analysis re
sults could tell the grower which
plant food elements are needed,
how much and when to apply them.

Rural Fires Are
More Expensive
Than City Fires
ATLANTA — Fires on farms
cause three to six times more
damage per fire than city fires,
the Insurance Information Insti
tute reports.
Isolation, lack of fire-fighting
equipment, less rigid wiring and
construction standards and, so
metimes, poor heating facilities,
were listed as the major reasons
why a rural fire usually results
in greater loss than an urban
fire.
Based on United States De
partment of Agriculture statis
tics, annual farm fire losses
have increased from SB2 million
in 1943 to well over S2OO million
in recent years. Fire or light
ning strikes 2 out of every 100
farms In the United States each
year.
