have struggle to great growth
taroush the s. vrms OF years. They
have served generations, and can be re-
placed only after years Of time, yet
so often we stand indifferently by and
allow neglect to cause them to die.
Trees, theoretically, at least, do not
die Of old age. There is definite
cause, for diseases in this kingdom are
legion. Insect and fungus enemies.
bacteia, mechanical injuries physiolo-
gical troubles, manutrition, uncon-
genial environment excess or lack OF
heat and moisture are some of the
.nlngs that prey upon trees, and yet it
IS most frequently possible to control
these diseases, SO that the trees may
live for thousands Of years.
Some OF these troubles may be de-
tecte1 by the unframed eye and many
OF the trees be saieguarded from an
unslme,y death.
Few OF us realize that a dead limb
may prove as dangerous 10 the life OF

Often trouble Starts in small dead
branches at the top OF tree. This de-

must lie removed carefully. Two cuts

Care Of Trees

TO love all trees it is necessary to
know them. and to know them means
to love them. And if we really love
trees We shall care for them
How to save cur trees; that is the
problem. Nothing takes greater part
IN the beautlfying OF our streets and
homes; nothing is so restful as the
soft and varied shades of green, upon
which our eyes may fall, whether IN
the heat OF the midday sun or when
the shadows of evening announce that
day is drawing to a close.
Aunt Jane Eliza Calvert HalD com
ments that one doesn't love place un-
til he has planted something, and with
the years watched it grow. We have
only to follow this advice to test the
truth. We are all indebted to the man
who planted trees lor had it not been
Tor the former forethought of tree
lovers we should not have with us
many OF the fine old speciment OF which
we are SO proud.
