onstration of field equipment and

Tree Experts Certified.
The story Of how New Jersey set
up a tree experts bureau to license
arborists who pass examinations
testing their ability in the diagnosis
and treatment Of tree diseases was
described to the conference at
morning session at the Mayflower
Hotel by w. E. Parker, Moorestown
IN. j. arborist.
He said New Jersey is the first
State to adopt such a law, and its
applications and results are being
watched closely by arborists from
other States. Mr.. Parker explained
that the law certifies tree experts,
but does not prevent those who do
not take the examination from prac-
ticing their profession.
He expressed the view. however,
that such laws eventually would
eliminate unframed and incompe-
tent tree surgeons from the field
and would increase public conf
dence in the abilities of those who
follow the arboricultural professions.

the personal exemption from $4,000
to $500. The exemption for single
persons also has been cut from $500
to $3.50.
The mest definite proposal sug-
gested is that the $400 credit for .
dependent, which now ends when
the child becomes 18, be continued
until the 21st birthday anniversary.
1t has been argued that, particu-
larly when a boy or girl is seeking
further education, the family cost
becomes greater instead Of less at 18.
Although administration Senators
have requested the Treasury to sub
NIT alternative ways of bringing
the total of the bill up to $4,000, ,000,-
600, which would mean finding at
least $400 0,000, 900 more, it was pre-
dicted in reliable quarters that the
total finally reported will not ex-
coed the present level of about So
