The latest to ask for dogwoods include: - J.D. Harper, who wants 25 dogwoods for the Circle R and for his home. - MR. and MRS. CHARLES SPARKS, who want 5 dogwoods for their home on Greensburg Street. - MR. AND MRS. JAMES E. SHIRLEY, who want 10 trees which they will plant in memory of Richard Shirley on their farm at Bliss. - RAMONA and JOE LYNN BARBEE, 15 trees for their home and other properties. - HARRY and BEA BEARD, 5 dogwoods in memory of George Jr. Staples, to be planted at the new West Lake Cumberland Regional Library.

Wayne Livesay, Adair County Extension Agent, says that he believes the Extension Service will have a dogwood expert to travel to McMinnville to assist in buying the dogwoods on February 2. The plans now call for a massive spring planting.
