During the past week workmen in
the employ of the city have been
trimming trees along, the streets OF
the borough. while officials have ac-
companicd them, investigating TO as
certain the amount of damage done
to them by the deadly scale pest
as ii has come TO be known. They
found the same conditions as in other
cities. the trouble bad in spots, while
in other places the trees were COM
paratively free from the ravages.
The worst scale found is the Sar
Jose. The danger thus far has not
spread sufficiently to make the case
hopeless, but a neglect of the warn
ing will cost Staten Island many
handsome shade trees.

that she was not gong to

SCOTS Emulsion cost less by
using less oil, Could take
