needed is given when living trees are ex-
amined. Many branches will show rap
idly decreasing years growth. Some of
the trees / saw showed that their growth
last year was only third of that OF about
five years ago. This means that they are
rapidly approaching the point where they
will cease to grow and begin to die.
TOO much Importance cannot be placed
upon the fact that a tree is a living,
breathing organism. 1t cannot remain
stagnant-it must either grow Or die.
Neglect has killed, and is killing many
of the citys trees. Although this is de-
plorable, it cannot be avoided with the
present totally inadequate force of men
employed to care for them. There are
probably hundreds Of trees which, when
properly operated on. will be as good as
ever and under correct conditions will live
indefinitely. The tree surgery, however,
must be done scientifically. 1t Is not
enough to slap filing into wound, feel
ing that decay will thus be prevented.
These wounds must be scientifically treated
and filled so as to stop the decay, adapt It.
self to the swaying of the tree and allow
nature to heal over the filing.
ut is infinitely more profitable from
every standpoint to save a great shade
tree than to replace 1t with new one. IL
takes more than fifty years for tree to
reach size which will afford worth while
shade. Many Of the trees dying in the
parks are centenarians, and their loss can
almost be called calamity IL would
take almost another hundred years before
the trees with which they are replaced,
il such replacement can be afforded, would
be as beautiful, useful and ornamental as
the ones now dying"

this new sense, as with the old ones i'm
provement came from practice.
Tasters of wines are and have always
been more common in European countries
than in America, natural thing enough,
for these were wine growers long before
the industry grew up in California. There,
until recently, however a class Of men
was tasting the native product and pro-
rouncing wisely upon it.
1t is said that one effect of the war in
France was deterioration of the taste Of
the people in wine. The celebrated wine
tasters had to drink what they got in war
time and their taste was roughened, If not
destroyed One cannot put Bordeaux on
top OF Burgundy nor white wine on top Of
school of wine tasters has had to be formed,
and now the wine vaults Of the famous
vintages are in the hands Of men who have
specialized in fine taste.
An equal degree of care, even solemnity
is observed in this country in the matter
of our tea and coffee. Everybody knows
that tea experts are employed by the i'm.
porters, who do nothing but taste the
brewed tea and pronounce 1t this. that or
the other, reducing all to certain well de-
fined grades. Most people know also that

paid proportionately. But il may not be

are proper soil conditions and unfailing
care.
I'm Pittsburgh and Chicago, where even
the natives admit that the air is less pure
than in New York, trees, when properly
cared for, grow luxuriantly. The same
might be said of several cities, so there
is absolutely nothing in the assertion that
New York's atmosphere tends to devitalize
trees
From my investigations I should say
that the first cause of mortality among, the
trees here is lack of nutrition-they are
literally starving to death. 1t must be
remembered that a tree, particularly a
well grown one more than fifty years old,
does not starve over night This is a
process which takes several years as a
rule and Is the result of its soil being
gradually robbed of food elements.
I'm the parks this robbing has been an
unprecedented, but deliberate act. The
soil from which tree gathers its susie
nance is renewed year after year by
the leaves and grass which rot on the sur
face. Every effort is made to keep the
parks looking clean swept and tidy, with
the result that fallen leaves and cut grass
are constantly swept up and taken away
Thus the tree soil receives no renewing
but the tree is always drawing on this
soil for its food. The end is evident; the
soil becomes sterile and the tree dies.
The first thing that must be done TO
save New York's trees is to revivify the
soil by artificial means. This means that
tree food, containing the same qualities as
rotted leaves and grass. must be injected
into the soil.
THE trees would show an almost imme-
date response to this treatment, and with

Starvation Is Killing New York's Trees

w THAT will the next generation of
Nv New Workers do for shade trees?
At the rate they are dying the
shade trees in the city's parks and other
breathing spaces will have joined the In
dian chief who sold Manhattan for $24
within score of years. The city owns
about 175,000 trees: last year more than
2,400 of it's trees died. only about 400
trees were planted, and the difference be-
tween the figures shows the net loss of
more than 1000 shade trees!
Realizing that something was sadly
amiss with the trees of the parks, several
prominent New Workers recently made an
investigation. In this they were guided
by Martin L. Davey, former Congressman
from Ohio, and tree expert. Their trip
included most of the city parks, with the
notable exception Of Riverside, where con-
ditions are said to be even worse than in
the others. What they found Is best told
in Mr.. Davey's own words.
Neglect, not unnatural conditions, Is
killing the trees of New York." he said,
land this neglect Is all the more criminal
because it Is directly due to the failure
of the city to provide sufficient funds to
care for its trees. With an active force
of only eighteen treemen (and these not
especially trained) the Park Department
is attempting to take care Of it's trees, and
this is an impossible task.
Conditions in the city parks, while not
ideal, are reasonably suited to, producing
healthy shade trees. People have said
that you cannot grow trees in New York
city-that is absolutely incorrect. The air
and climate are all right, all that II needed

when there was fight on with the Brazil
merchants over a form of contract the
threat was made that board similar to
the tea board would have to be estab-
lished. It is sampled by taste and also
by feeling and smelling. Front street has
many small and dingy shops which are
pervaded with the savory smell OF the
coffee bean. From an inspection of the
beans in the little tin trays experts are
often able to assign the quality and grade,

is therefore the best argument for high

That sixth sense which sometimes per-
mits a daughter of Eve to jump straight
to the truth without any of the tedious
processes of logic is known to psycholo-
gists under the name Of intuition. 1t is
a faculty to be found in both sexes, in

And if by any chance an individual were
to be deprived of his other senses, had he
one cultivated his livelihood would be as
sured for life. More than one odd way
remains for his vocation, each wholly de-
pendent on a primary sense.
Very few persons do cultivate their

valuable adjunct, an indispensable part of
a tea merchants business. And it may be
accepted without further parley that the
same thing holds true of the experts who
by sight, smell or taste are able to pass on
grades of coffee, tobacco perfume, wine
sugar, &c.
Sometimes an expert is born, but the
times are rare; generally he has to be
made or to make himself. 1t is a matter
of regret that the very qualities of our
education entail their defects. II is too

it is possible to tell within very few
