Late August is the time to watch
your valuable old shade and fruit trees.

From any wound remove all the de-
cayed wood, with a chisel and adj, to
the sound. hard wood, and smooth off
the edges of the cavity to allow the
free growth of the inner bark.
After the cavity has been thoroughly
cleaned out, disinfect 1t with corrosive
sublimate, creosote or even paint.
Creosote is better, as 1t penetrates far
Their into the wood. The cavity should
now be filed with concrete, one part
portland cement to two parts sand.
Make it thin, SO that 1t can be poured
in at the top of the opening. When
the cavity Is large 1t is necessary to
REINFORCE the concrete by placing iron
bars across the inside. 1t is also best
to drive large nails part way in around
the inside. and this enables the con-
crete TO adhere better to the trunk.
AS the filling shrlnks considerably in
large cavities the walls should be first
coated with thick layer Of tar. This
expands and fills the shrinkage crack,
making the cavity air tight There is
now no chance for any disease to enter

surface should be smoothed Off even

DR.. Hopkins, Illinois soil ex-

theory that you cannot keep
taking everything out OF the soil
without putting something back.
His dictum has been justified by
recent experiments conducted
by the University of Illinois,
which show that with the use of
phosphorus crops have been
doubled.
On the same farm the wheat
yield where phosphorus was
