said today. The only exception which
Mr.. FULLY found was in the old oak
trees, which he estimates at from
$50 to 200 years old. These old
trees will need care If they are to
be preserved, the tree expert saws
1t takes practically hundred years
to grow such a tree, and these old
trees are relics of the forest which
stood here in the days before the
founding of this city
Mr.. Tully is planning to do some
experimental work on the trees in
Rand park for the CITY, gratis. He
has been doing work for individuals
about the city and also for the
school board since he has come
here.
One reason for the dying off of elm
trees here last summer and fall was
cut worm which works I'D under
the bark, and which riddles the
tree. The worm is sap sucker and
literally cuts the life out of the tree.
