ABOUT TREES

1t will be welcome news for all
workers in ash timber Of both the
white and the black variety to learn
that kiln drying has been found to
be a remedy for the rnvages of the
redheaded borer which sometimes
attacks ash when it is air seasoned.
The wider Importance of the discov-
cry lies in the fact that ash is one
of the woods used as a substitute for
chestnut.
4 great proportion of our chest
nut trees are dead as a result of the
blight which first showed itself in
the Eastern States in the last decade
Dealers have had to turn to ash and
hickory for purposes for. which
chestnut was formerly employed.
There is no more satisfactory timber
for some use than chestnut. Ash has
always been 9 fairly good substitute,
and the fact that a way has been
found to project It from borers in
creases it's usefulness. kim drying
protects hickory as well as ash.
At the same time there is better
news Of chestnut trees. The blight
began ON Long Island dozen years
ago and killed virtually every chest
nut tree in the State within ESQ
miles of New York City, spread to
New Jersey the following year and:
from that State crossed into Penn
sylvania and spread on through
Maryland into Virginia. It has left:
4he forests filed with gaunt gray
wrecks in the shape Of dead standing
trees. -
Few owners Of areas affected fol-.
lowed the example of Clarence a.;
Mackey, who put up portable sawil
mill to dispose of the more than g.
900 tpees which he lost on the Har-s
Dor Hill estate near Roselyn, Long
Island. IT, !
1t is a mistake to, permit a dead
tree to remain standing among hive
trees. The moment decay appears
the axe and the crosscut saw should
be brought into use. Millions of feet
Of the finest kind Of lumber, have
been saved if stricken chestnut trees
had been cut when attacked by the
blight. 4
A remarkable feature Of the
later history Of the chestnut blight
is that the stumps OF some Of the
stricken trees. are sending forth live
shoots this spring, A number of
these shoots may be noted along the
Baltimore, Washington and Annapo-
lis -RailyEay between Baltimore, and
Annapolis This same phenoulenon
has manifested in Maryland nj the
region of Havre de Grace, and the
question naturally suggests itself
whether the blight having run its
course has not left this hardy type
of tree with enough vitality to at
tempt q comeback.-New York Her
