FORESTER EXPLAINS RIGHT WAY TO TRIM CITY'S SHADE TREES

Robb S. Spray Blames Ruthless Butchers for Ruin of Many Fine Specimens Advises Care.

BY ROBB S. SPRAY. Richmond is said to bo proud of hor Shade trees and shudy streets. Such things arw Just objects of pride, and to the casual observer Richmond has

the rifc'ht to be proud. Her streets are lined with large trees. Hardly a new street but which is planted before a single house i builto on it. Here and there stand immense elms, singly or In groups. Many of the older homes and public buildings are well shaded by old elms and hard maple. But the one who studies the situation and observes carefully looks long to find a real cause for pride. To be eure. the streets are lined with trees which are ninety per cent silver maples (according to actual count by Prof. J. K. Thompson.) Not only are they lined with, but in some places they are literally walled with trees Kvery citizen wants shade and be buy i trees. One little sapplins on a fortyfive foot lot looks lonesome and he plants three instead, forgetting that he is planting for the future and not for the present. His neighbors do the panic and the result is a spacing of twelve to fifteen feet, when the least Examine New Trees, spacing should be thirty feet. Kxamine the trees newly planted and see if eighty per cent are not sunscaled and drilled full of borer galleries. Test the branch tips and you will find fifty per cent of them lifeless. Small loss, however, as two thirds of these are soft, or silver maples. Consider closely the average street phade tree of medium size. In summer nature kindly hides deformities, but row when the trees are bare the general appearance is that of a row of badly distorted telegraph poles. What foliage is left by the linemen is removed by tree trimmers, and the tree is absolutely stripped of all its branches leaving only bare stubs. In the following year the trees attempt to replace the lost branches and the result, is a bushy growth of weak sprouts. At the lip of the stub decay usually occurs before the wound can heal. Borers gain entrance and if the tree survives the operation it is so disfigured that death and removal would improve the situation. Need Rational Care. Here and there are found really fine phade trees, and then we also find that they are beautiful because they are untouched. This would seem to indicate that trees should be left to their own resources, and has led to the argument that nature can take better care of her trees than man. Possibly this is true where the trees grow in the environment nature intended for them. Man has built up a series of artificial conditions which no tree can successfully resist without aid. Rational care is necessary and it will be found that the fine trees are almost invariably lawn trees which have been practically undisturbed. The idea seems quite prevalent here that every so often trees need to be trimmed to increase their vigor. This "trimming" consists of turning loose a man with a saw who proceeds to remove from fifty to seventy-five per cent, of the foliage. What remains after the "trimming" consists of a trunk and a few stubs absolutely destitute of any trace of vegetation. This practice is absolutely wrong and weakens the tree predisposing it to fungous and Insect attack. What is needed is training and not trimming. Training begins with the newly planted tree and by removing underisable branches the tree is made to take on a desired shape. It should be remembered that, trees were Intended to grow in forests and that man has seized upon them for his own use. They still retain t heir branching habits and to overcome these they must be carefully 1 rained to desirable shape. If this is done there will be no need of severe t rimming.

The Kind You Have Always Bought. THIS is the caution applied to the public announcement of Castoria that has been manufactured under the supervision of Chas. H. Fletcher for over 80 years the genuine Castoria. We respectfully call the attention of fathers and mothers when purchasing Castoria to see that the wrapper bears his signature in black. When the wrapper is removed the same signature appears on both sides of the bottle in red. Parents who havo usea Castoria for their little ones in the past years need no warning against counterfeits and imitations, but our present duty is to call the attention of the younger gene ation to the great danger of introducing into their families spurious medicines. It is to be regretted that there are people who are now engaged in the nefarious business of putting up and selling all sorts of substitutes, or what should more properly be termed counterfeits, for medicinal preparations not only for adults, but worse yet, for children's medicines. It therefore devolves n thn mnfhpr tn scrutinize closelv what she gives her child. Adults can do

that for themselves, but the child has to rely on f " the mother's watchfulness. fS T7""Z" Genuine Castoria always bears the signature of 4cA4'Zz

DRINK MORE WATER IF KIDNEYS BOTHER

Eat less meat and take Salts for Backache or Bladder trouble Neutralizes acids.

Delirious brown cakes made from Mrs. Austin's Bag Pancake Flour.

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irritated, and you may be obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. When the kidneys clog you must help them flush off the body's urinous waste or you'll he a real sick person shortly. At first you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, you suffer from bachache, sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheumatic twinges when the weather is bad. Eat less meat, drink lots of water; also get. from any pharmacist four ounces of .lad Salts; take a tablespoonfull in a glass of water before breakfast, for a few days ar.d your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent litliia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active. Druggists here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble. Advertisement
