We observe a lot of editors
again demanding that the cotton
woods that bear down should be
marked for slaughter and destroy
ed. Bright ideas are advanced for
marking the female trees and cut
ting them down. Many years ago
Congressman Taylor solved that
trouble for Glenwood Springs and
did not destroy a tree. Simply
bore a hole with an auger, say one
and half inches in diameter into
the trunk clear to the heart. Then
tightly plug the hole with we'll
shaped and sound plug of wood.
The bark will in time grow over
the wound and no more down will
form on that tree. The operation
is the same in effect as spaying
live stock. Do not destroy trees
if you need them where they
stand. They can be cured without
killing.-Idaho Springs Gazette.
