Borer 5th Column Can Be Ousted
BY Early Pruning

Let sleeping dogs, but not sleep
ing insects, lie.
The trusty pruning saw can
rout many over-wintering borers
from their woody "pillboxes."
That's one of the reasons tree
trimming is so important, points
out P. H. Willmott, field repre-
sentative of the Davey Tree Elk
pert Co.
Dead, dying and broken branch
es-ideal breeding places for bor-
er scourges-should be removed
and destroyed by burning before
spring. Otherwise, with the un.
folding of buds, unmolested borers
will multiply and spread to new
hosts.
Early season pruning is good
for trees. 1t makes them cleaner
safer, more attractive. Wounds
begin acquiring their healing cal.
luses at the very start of the
growing season.
Like other surgery, arboreal
cuts need proper dressings tc
avoid infection by wood-rotting
fungi and to close the door tc
new insect attacks. Every prun'
ing cut should be thoroughly
painted with a special tree dress
ing. Ordinary wood preservatives
such as creosote and phenol de.
rivatives should not be used or

This is also a good time tC

FiIIy Even-Money Choice
lin HombIetonion Todoy

GOSHEN, N. Y, Aug. s (P.-
Egyptian Princess was favored
to become the 10th f1lly to win
the Hambletonian when a field
of 20 trotters battle it out today
at Good Time Park in the famed
3-year-old classic.
1t is the third largest field in
the history of the race, and the
31st Hambletonian will have &
gross purse of $100,603,99. with
the first horse to win two
heats earning the top prize of
I$59,155.15.
Hanging over the scene was
the future of the Corn Tassel
Derby" which has been raced
at Goshen since 1890. Bill Cane,
who died last March, was the
guiding light in the event. and
ibis estate was to sponsor the
Hambletonian in 1857.
Bids From Many Tracks
Tracks in Ohio, Michigan,
Illinois and elsewhere are bidding
for the race, but the seven New
York State trotting tracks will
ask the Hampletonian Society
tomorrow to keep the race in
Goshen. These tracks will offer
to sponsor the race on the same
contract basis as Cane had
operated in the past.
Egyptian Princess is one of
the fastest 3-year-old fillies ever
developed, and when the first
l-mile heat of the Hamble-
tonian starts this afternoon, she
is expected to be an even-money
choice.
Earle Avery drives her from
the favorable No. 3 post, as 10
horses will start in two tiers
behind the mobile gate.
Three Strong COntenders
Three other highly regarded
Icontenders are Saboteur, from
the Arden Homestead Stable of
E. Roland Hartman and Ell

Colby, owned by Leo Nc
Namara'S Two Cats Farm, In
dianapolis, and Ego Hanover,
pride of Mrs. Cecile Goosman,
Mountain Lakes. N. j.
Nimble Colby is the other
lfilly in the race. and the last
miss to grab the big trot was
Helicopter in 1858.

brothers from Winthrop, Me.
