The tree doctor is product of modern
conditions. In pioneer days, when the
country was covered with original forests,
there was no thought of him; but now,
when the entire country is becoming
alarmed over the rapid disappearance of
our trees, he has become an important
parsonage. The profession, however, is
not overcrowded; in fact, there are yet
many sections of the country where he is
unknown.
Not infrequently the professional tree
doctor is called upon to treat cases in
which the cavity is large enough to allow
one or even two men to stand upright in
it. The quantity of filling in such a case
sometimes amounts to several barrels.
Fortunately, however, the filing used for
trees is not as expensive rs the gold and
amalgam used by the dentist for filling
teeth That in the most frequent use is
cement, although in extreme cases, where
a large hollow is to be filed, rocks brick
bats, and sand and cement may be used
as bed for the top layer of filling. 1t is
only recently that ten tons of such filling
were required for the preservation of q
giant tree in New Jersey, and the famous
Washington elm in Cambridge, Massa-
chusetts, now consists mainly of cement.
1t is not, however, always necessary to
call in professional tree surgeon, as most
of the ordinary cases can be successfully
treated by an amateur after little ex-
perience in properly cleaning cut cavities
and the correct mixing of the cement fill
ling. When tree is already rotten or
diseased special treatment is required.
Absolutely all diseased or decaying tissue
must be cut out, no matter how large
wound is made, because if any decay is
left it would be as bad practice as If q
dentist failed to cleanse thoroughly . de-
cayed tooth before putting in the filling,
and the work would have to be done over
again in order to save the tree. Harper's
