Teskey, of .the UniVersity of Guelph, has found that one of the components of rubber tires makes an excel- lent mulch. Professor Teskey, a fruit tree specialist with the Depart- ment of Horticultural Science, began a cooperatiVe prOgram,w1th a tire company two years ago. The company wanted a satisfac- tory means of disposal for moun- tains of old, bare, and apparently useless tires. Professor Teskey was interested in providing for the needs of fruit trees. Professor Teskey has discov- ered that shredded nylon cord from rubber tires makes an ex- cellent mulch for fruit trees. Mulches are important. Besides conserving moisture and elimin- ating unwanted weed competition, they improve soil^structure, tex- ture, aeration, and tilth.

They must also have the approval of the Department of Health, before a permit will be issued. From the Mitchell Advocate we see that an anniversary _mass was clebrated by the Rev. J.

Professor Teskey has been testing the mulch for two years in a sour cherry orchard near Nor- val, Ontario. The dark, wool- like material is placed to differ- ing depths around young cherry trees, some of the 'most delic- ate of fruit trees. The mulch has a desirable slow disintegration rate and does not pack down. Chemical analysis has revealed that the mulch contains small amounts of various nutrients such as magnesium and potassium. However, according to Professor Teskey, these ;will neither harm nor benefit the trees. The cost to the grower is expected to be reasonable; the financial return to the tire company Minimal. It is not essentially a moneymaking ven- ture. However, the program could set an example for co- operation in checking pollution. kti Bean At Kippen 'White thieves are oper- ating in the Kippen area.
