the point of infection the fungus
grows in all directions through the
growing layer and inner bark until the
growth meets on the opposite side of
the trunk or limb, which in this way
is girdled.
The disease is very conspicuous and
easy Of diagnosis. On limbs with
smooth bark the areas attacked by
the fungus show dead, discolored,
sunken patches of bark, covered more
or less thickly with yellow, orange or
brown postules of the fruiting fungus.
(See Fig. 81
Many trees, especially smooth
barked ones, have their trunks and
larger branches injured on the south
west side by the freezing and conse-
quent death of patches of bark. Dur
ing the warmer winter days there is
sufficient heat at noon to stimulate
portions of the growing layer into
premature growth; such tissue is
killed if cold weather follows immedi-
ately. The injury often does not be-
come manifest until we'll into the
summer. The dead tissue forms a
favorable place for the growth of
parasitic organisms and such tree
usually dies from rotting in a few years
This trouble must not be confused
with that type of sun scald which is
due simply to extreme heat in sum-
mer, when the growing layer may be
literally cooked. Such cases occur
most typically in the arid sections of
the southwestern states.
Trees that are worth the care are
best protected by wrapping the parts
liable to this sort of injury with straw
or paper Often merely shading the
| part liable to this injury with a board
or shingles is sufficient to prevent it.
Another winter injury often con
! fused with freezing is actual drying
out. This may occur anywhere, but
most typically in the higher attitudes

ton from the tree surface of more wa
ter than the roots can obtain from the
cold and frequently sandy or gravelly
soil. Evergreens are especially sub
! ject to this difficulty, since their leaves
transpire to some extent throughout
the winter. Whatever conserves the
moisture of the soil tends to decrease
this injury; for example, mulching
and fall or winter irrigating. Trees
normally hardy will often winterkill
if unable to ripen their wood com.
pletely; this often happens as a result
of defoliation in late summer.

FALL PAINTING.

The majority of property owners
are under the impression that spring
time is the only painting time. But
the fall of the year offers several ad-
vantages to the painter. One of the
most important is that surfaces are
almost sure to be dry, and there is no
frost or inner moisture to work out
after the paint is applied.
Pure white lead-the Dutch Boy

seed oil (tinted as desired) gives a

INSECT EATING
BIRDS KILLED
Robin Destroyo Many Bugs I'm.
furious to Crops in Course of
Year-ShouId BE Protected

Virginia, North Carolina and Ten.
nessee have the undesirable distinc.
ton of being the only states in the
union in which the slaughter of robins
is permitted by law, and recent in.
vestigations show that not less than
100000 robins are killed by some
10000 pothunters in these three states
during the winter months. Patient
investigation by ornithologists has
proved that robin in a year earns
one dollar in the destruction of insects
injurious to crops. The pothunters
sell them for five cents dozen. This
wanton waste of millions of dollars is
something which should appeal to the
hard common sense of every southern
farmer.
In an investigation of this deplor.
able bird slaughter, writer in
Recreation brings a sweeping indict.
ment against the sportsmen of Vir.
ginia, North Carolina and Tennessee,
declaring that they are responsible
for the lack of legislation for protec.
ton of the robin. 1t is asserted that
as a class they have for years op
posed the enactment of laws putting
robins on the forbidden list, on the
ground that II the shooting of these
birds we're made unlawful the pot
hunters would soon wipe out tn

Ornamental trees are subject to me-
chanical injuries in a thousand ways.
Street and lawn trees that are stu
ated where horses can get at them are
practically certain to have their bark
gnawed off unless protected with some
sort of guard. This is perhaps the
commonest injury to trees. The injury
shown in figure l is an extreme case,
but can be duplicated on almost any
city street. The exposed wood in this
tree will soon rot, if not painted or
otherwise protected, and the death of
the tree is only a question of time.
Mutilation III curb laying is usually
necessary and unavoidable, but the
wound can and should be treated;
otherwise, reproducing fungi find
lodgment and in a few years the base
of the tree will be rotted out, as
shown in figure 81 Fire is another
frequent cause of injury at the base
of the trunk, and so also, in the case
of lawn trees, is collision with lawn
mowers
- Mutilation by stringing wires may
or may not be avoidable in a given
case, but it is certain that in the
country at large telephone companies
are responsible for an enormous
amount of sheer vandalism in the UNI
necessary mutilation and destruction
of trees. Remedies for this lie only in
increased public interest and legal re-
striction. Finally, unskillful pruning
and deliberate neglect of wounds are
responsible for half of all the harm.

Abstract Case Up

The question Of the right of the
county commissioners to raise the
bonds of the official abstractors who
still hold certificate that has not
expired is being argued today in dis
trict court, where 1t was brought on
a writ of certorari by Jules Lambert.
Mr.. Lambert through his attorney,
j. E. Green, contends that the board
had no right to raise his bond from
$4,000 to 100000, while he held the
certificate granting him the right to
the books for period of three years.
They also contend that the official
census of the county has not been
taken and as the law states that the
bond shall be $4,000 for each 10000
people, he claims they have no right
to raise lit so high.
States Attorney Nash is appear
ing for the board of county commits
sioners and holds that the granting
Of permission to abstract is SINH
lar to license which can be re-
voked at any time or the fee raised.
The arguments are in progress this

Funderberg Here from West

Chas. E. Funderberg who moved to
Wenatchee, Wash, last March, is back
to see about the harvest on his farm
near Surrey, and to visit old friends.
Charlie has six acres OF fine fruit land
close to Wenatche, which cost him
about Ave hundred doflars an acre. He
has been busy this season setting out
the tract to choice winter apple trees,
and has erected a modern dwelling.
His property is easily worth ten thou
sand dollars. Alt'ho he has made cons
siderable money at iWenatchee, 1t
would not surprise the Independent

sured against fire. He considers that
while the yield is fair, the price Is
about fifteen cents less than it should
be, and might have been more, had
not the grain gamblers gotten an idea
into their heads that there was more
wheat in the country than there real
ly is. Once let the price be low in the
opening of the season, and 1t is hard
to get it up. He says he believed that
there is no more wheat in the country
than will be needed, but that seems
to make little difference with the price.

is simply impossible to keep the dust
out of ones house. Several days, the
thermometer registered 100 degrees
in the sun. The nights are cool, with
a nice breeze blowing every might.
While Wenatchee has it's advantages,
she also has her disadvantages. Mr..
Funderberg has never become fully
weafled from North Dakota, and we
would be more than pleased to again
see him resident of this locality.

without any of our wheat If neces-
sary. This country while not raising a
bumper crop, has perhaps raised the
greatest crop in her history. Take the
eastern states for example. While
they have not raised so many acres,
the land has been put into such con-
dition that the yield Is twice what it
was in years back, The grain specu-
lators are aware of this fact, and the
price is being made accordingly.
