The article in Zeitung pays trib-
ute to Mrs. Dittlinger for saving
the old tree and tells something
of the fine date and citrus orchard
located south of Brownsville of
which Mr.. Stiles is manager.
Concerning the old tree, Zeitung
says:
"This oak. If IL had the power
Of speech. could certainly relate
many tales out Of the dark past.
IL is very probable that an Indian
village has been there, as YOU
have a clear outlook over 4 big
radius. and the high bank Of the
Comsl creek was a splendid de-
fense against sudden attacks. For
this reason. Prince Solms, founder
Of the town, chose this place to
erect the "Zinkerburg,, q primi-
tive fort. which was to protect the
first settlers Of New Braunfels
against sudden attacks of the In
dians- II is supposed that the first
Catholic sermon in this section

Four Tons of Concrete

Four tons Of concrete 70 heal"

This is the rist Of an interest
ing article carried in n recent is
sue of the "Zeitung," German Ian
guage paper published at New
Braunfels, Texas, concerning an
interesting piece OF tree surgery
performed BY Harvey G. Stiles,
horticulturist or Brownsville.
The operation" was to save
historic old live oak tree which
stands on a hill in that Central
Texas city near the Catholic
church. The branches Of the tree
spread for many feet in every di-
rection, being sufficiently large TO
cast a shadow on both sides of n
wide street at the same time.
The old tree is closely linked
with the history Of New Braun
fels. one of the older Texas towns.
and the cost OF the work on IL
was paid for by Mrs II. Dittlinger,
prominent woman Of that section.
The concrete was poured into n
great cavity which extended many
feet into the ground and II feet
above che ground inside ths trunk.
