While the trimming and cutting OF
the top of the tree is of great i'm
portance we must not forget that the
roots of the tree are also of an
equal Importance In the life of tree.
1t IS always understood that the
spread of the roots of tree is equal
to the spread of It's branches and that
the feed roots of the tree are just at
the drip of the outer branches.
The roots of tree are, as rule.
trimmed to cut back but once and
that is at the time of planting.
In getting the young trees from the
nursery you should insist upon
getting good healthy stock, with
straight leaders, untrimmed. Then
you can do your own trimming or
cutting after the tree is in the
ground. The lower branches are the
branches to be trimmed first-that is
on shade trees. On fruit trees some
of the lower branches are left so as
not to have to pick the fruit too far
from the ground.
In pruning or trimming the lower
branches care should be taken so as
not to have two or three branches
very close together up and down on
the trunk, for if that is the case
there will be formed bad crotches,
which, in late years, may cause the
tree to split and become wreck.
"Give fools their gold and knaves
their power;
Let fortunes bubble rise and fall;
Who sows a field or trains Hover
Or plants tree is more than all;
For he who bleSSes most is best,
And God and man shall own his worth
Who tolls to leave as his bequest
An added beauty to the EARTH
@. HI. GOETZ,
Instructor in Foresty,
1906 Neil Ave., o. s. U.
Columbus. Ohio.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1910-12-15

In trimming trees serious mistake
is often made in the way the trees are
headed back. Not many trees can
stand the process ct heading back
their tops no more than animals even
of the lower scale can live after their
heads are cut off. Unless dwarf tree
is desired and it is understood before
hand that the tree belongs to the class
that can stand having their heads cut
off and still live it is best not to top
the trees. Nature does not form these
beautiful health giving tops OF shade
trees to be cut to pieces notwithstand-
ing that some tree trimmer needs
job. Everywhere you may see the
work of these tree trimmers the old
half rotten stumps OF once magnlh-
Gent shade trees to grow which
nature took years, yes, centuries to
grow.
Trees are often cut off at the tops
by some telephone, telegraph or elect
rio light companies employees to en-
able them to string their wires alcng
the street or road. Now while this
is often necessary, yet in many cases
it has not been needful at all and 1T
was simple case OF laziness on the
part of the employees that the trees
we're cut, as they did not care to go
out of their way to string the wires or
on the other hand the poles were not
high enough to get the wires clear
of the limbs of the tree. Ii the trees
need cutting they should be cut in
such a way that their beauty is not
| destroyed.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1910-12-15

understood and any wound must be
properly cared for, but how many
times have we seen the so-called tree
men shortening the existence of an
orchard and shade trees in our parks
and city streets, and at the same time
distigured them to such an extent
that it would be more advantageous
to pull out large portion of them
and plant young and healthy trees.
The common practice OF cutting
large limbs three to six inches from
the body of the main trunk is very
bad one, because drought soon sets
in and the bark peels off from the
stub and the stub soon rots and leaves
a hole in which water collects and the
rotting process soon extends to the
main stem. The proper place to cut
a limb is close to the trunk of the
tree or the shoulder of the stem. In
dropping a very large limb there
should be two cuts made, one some
distance from the trunk so that the
limb will not split off near the
trunk and leave a bad scar. The
weight may also be taken from the
limb by cutting some of the brush on
the end Of the limb.
Large portions of trees can be taken
off but the wound must be watched
and kept we'll painted. Any paint
will do. The paint and oil in the
paint closes the pores of the wound
or rather of the wood, keeps ont
moisture, and insects and the fungi
until nature can close it with a new
growth.
