The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1880-05-26
tFor the Dispatch.l
The Ailantus-IH0w to Prevent It's
OdOr.

Messrs. Editors,-In a week or two, un
less something be done to prevent II, the
ailsntus trees all over the city will be pois-
oning the air with their sickening pollen
Let me give your readers some account oi
an experiment which seems TO have been
successful.
Around the house which / occupy q,
Richmond College stands q dozen or so OF
these hateful trees. They made the place
dissgreeable, and think unwholesome, du.
ring the latter part OF May and the first
weeks OF June. To young children par
ticularly they seemed 10 be Injurious. Most
gladly would | have cut them down, but
they were not mine, nor could we well spare
their shade in summer.
Ii occurred 10 me some years ago, either
in 1874 or 1875, to try the effect OF some
thing analogous to bleeding. SO when they
began TO bloom and become offensive bad
large strips Of bark cut Off with drawing
knife from various points about the trunk
and branches, extending the barking in
proportion to the rankDess OF the growth.
Ny idea was that the sap would run out
freely, and that this would check the devel-
opmcnt OF bloom, without making the leaves
fail. The sap did not run out to any con.
siderable extent, but the experiment sue
ceeded even beyond my expectation. The
bloom wilhered and fell of, within twelve
hours the nuisance was perceptibly abated,
and in twenty-four hours ii was entirely
gone. Strapgest Of all, neither bloom nor
offensive odor reappeared for two years. In
1877, which was the third or fourth year,
The trees began to be slightly disagreeable
again. In 1878 | was away, but the scars
had nearly healed, and / am told that the
odor was quite offensive.
Last year i tried my plan again, with
some notifications. Instead OF waiting, as
before, Till the bloom began 10 open. l at
tackled them as soon as it began to form, and
instead OF climbing up among the limbs
stood on the ground, and with hatchet
knocked narrow belt OF bark from about
one third OF the circumference, or say from
a fourth to a half, according to the apparent
vitality of the tree. This relieved us last
year OF all inconvenience, but from present
appearances doubt whether the effect will
last as long as in case of the first expert
ment.
Ny advice, therefore, to all who have
ailantu5 trees is to bleed them freely by
stripping bark from the limbs as soon as
the bloom opens. The female tree, OF
which l have seen two or three specimens,
is quite different from the male-bears
punches of long pods instead OF bloom,
aud is entirely inofiensive. This Of course

Mr.. MASSEY ON LIBBY HLL.-There war
tolerably fair attendance at the ReSdjustes
rally on Libby Hill last night. Many per-
sons were doubtless attracted thither by
curiosity, excitement being novelty In that
locality. There were also numerous con-
piles who bad visited this noted "Lover's
Retreat" TO talk upon "a tender and senti-
mental sui liect," and who had no soul for
the dry-as-dust facts and figures OF the
learned Parson. There was nothing
new in the speech. The speaker
appealed to his hearers to ring out the
old ring and ring in the new ring, and
will no doubt be described in the party
organ as a ringing speech, or as having
about 1t the true ring. The readiustment
OF the State debt and the rcadjustment Of
the hungry Readjusters into the city offices
was the burden Of the appeal. His state
ments Of the state OF the debt and the COM
pounding OF war interest. and other abb
struse problems OF political economy, fell
upon untutored minds, il not upon un-
needing ears. and was like casting pearl
before swine. The platform was occupied
by a number Of leading Readjuster lights.
The light above them was, however, so
dim that the faces OF the occupants could
not be discerned. THIS might have been
intentional. After Mr.. Massey several
speakers Of less renown attempted the at
tention OF the audience to command, but
the gathering gradually thinned out, and
soon melted into nothiDgness. The lovers
were left alone in their loveliness to sing to
the fair moon, or otherwise nationally enjoy
themselves, the coored statesmen and the
readjusting brethren dispersed, and quiet
once more reigned where Libby Hill looks
down on Rockets and Rockets looks out
on the James.
