lie Swain and Ed McFadden
were married by the Rev.
McLeodin at the’ United
Church in Mannville, Alta.
They both grew up in and
around Mannville and were
high school sweethearts.
Nellie Swain was born
March 24, 1920 in | Is-

’ while giving birth so Nellie
_and her sister Mabel were

raised by their grandmother.
Nellie’s father ran a livery
stable in Mannville.‘ After
Nel’s mother died, her father
went to live with her uncle

.Cleland, and helped to raise

his family...
After high school, Nellie

‘went on to take teacher train-

ing in Edmonton, first teach-

south of Mindurn, Alta. Nel-
lie said that when ‘she went
to school inthe country, she
would travel three miles to
school on horseback or by
cutter in the winter months.
Meanwhile, Ed McFad-

FALL PLANTING

Quinton Freeman

There is much confusion about fall
planting. Fall isan excellent time of year to
plant trees and shrubs. Because of heavy
fall rains watering is not as critical, although
the soil should still be checked for sufficient
‘moisture. The larger the. tree or shrub the
more water it requires.

Trees and shrubs can be removed from pots
and planted i in the ground at any time of year.«
The reason for this is because none of the |_.
roots are being cut or damaged. In the fall |" ~
plants are at the end of the growing season
.8o they are not putting a heavy demand on
“the root system. Once a plant has reached
its dormant state, approximately the end of
October, they become even more resilient to
stress. Dormancy varies from plant to plant,

but roughly lasts from November to March.
The best time of year to dig trees and shrubs
out of the ground and move them to a new
location j is the dormant season.

e The more damage you do to the roots 5 the
more you will need to water them in the
spring. .

e Trees and shrubs that are planted in the |:
fall will still need you to water them inthe |.
spring, just not as heavily as if you just |.
Planted it. .
