FULTON ELMER GREEN

The community of Kingston and vicinity was shocked to hear of the sudden passing on Tuesday, Nov. 19th, 1940, of little Fulton Elmer Green, son of Mr. and Mrs. Har- rison Green, at the tender age of four years. He had been 1h good health apparently, and had been a- bout as usual, but he was seized suddenly udth q, heart attack and expire-d in a few minutes.

The funeral, which was largely‘ attended, was held on Thursday, November 21st. The services at the home, church and grave side, were conducted by the Rev. E. R. Wood- side, who spoke from the text: Rev. 7:16. The hymns sung were: "Safe 1n The Arms of Jesus," and "Wiicii He Ccmeth."

The pallbearers were four yoiuig boys: Alton Willis, Lewis MacFad- yen, Clyde Holmes and Roy New- so

There are two causes for such failure: i1) Giving protection ico earlv in the season, and i2) leaving the protecting materials on too late in the spring. Roses lire quite hardy plants. As a matter of fact. they are so hardy that in somewhat less severe climates tlicv require no protection whatever. Now zindthcn thev come through the wintcrswith- out protection when there has been sufficient snowfall in the early part of the winter. his proves that they can stand quite cold conditions without injuiiv. and thcv should be Ieit c-xpcsid 1Q sulficientlv 101'.’ 1cm- peratures to properly ripen the wccd and make it hardv to stand the continued cold through the winter with. protection.

Leave Tops Exposed

The actual procedure in giving protection is as follows: n late fall when the ground commences to freeze up, place a coating of a few inches of straw manure on the ground around the bushes to pro- tect the roots from severe freezing. leaving the tops exposed to ripen the wood. The plants should beleft

November or earlv December. de- pending on how enrlv severe weath- er sets in. as ordinarily until around that time the temperature 1s never low enough to do injury,

Put on the protecting material about that time. however. and cover them completelv over their tops. n1- wavs usinlz drv materials such as verv strawv manure. leaves raked from the lawns or old hay. In the case of climbing roses. take them down and as the growths are springv per them clown as closeto the ground as possible and cover as for the others.

Uncdvered In Spring

The proper method of uncovering in sprlnz Le. at least of equal lm- portance, for plants coming through the winter 1n good condition can easilv be killed in sprint: bv faulty methods. The proper procedure is to remove the covering material evcrv other day as it thaws out and thus accustom each few inches 0f wood to exposed conditions while the wood 1s still drv and hardy. Bv this gradual exposure the buds are kept dormant until natural nroccss- es start them into life. when such growth as develo ls capable of withstanding exist n conditions. The
