REPAIR DAMAGE
TO LARGE TREES
First Thing to Be Done Is to Re
move Broken Branches That
Are Menace to Life.
GOOD WORKING SUGGESTIONS
If Limbs Have Been Spilt, Wood
Around Wound Should Be Cut or
Sawed Away and Scar Smoth
ered Leave Cavities Open.
(Prepared by the United State Dpartmnt
of Agriculture.)
The extensive Injury nnd destruc
tion of trees of all kinds In Now Eng
land during tho November lcestorm
hns brought many Inquiries to tho
United Stutes Department of Agricul
ture regarding the proper methods to
bo followed In repairing the damage
done. Tho following suggestions nro
made by tho department.
Remove Broken Branches.
Tho first thing that should be done
Is to remove large broken branches
that are now, or may become, a men
ace to life nnd property ; this Is usual
ly best done by cutting nt the point
where broken. Attention should then
bo given to Injuries on tho main trunk.
If limbs have been split, or partially
spilt, from the mnln trunk, nil splin
tered wood about the wound should bo
removed with n sharp gouge and mul
let, if not so situated that it can be
sawed off.
Attention should next bo given to
repairing tho Injuries on the larger
branches In n similar manner, nnd
inter to the smaller branches. Some
times when n limb is broken nway, tho
tree is so weakened at the point of
breakage that it may ngnln brenk In a
severe wind, nnd to obvlnte this the
top must be pruned back more or less
severely. In case of spilt crotches, the
advice in Fnrmers' Bulletin 1178
should be followed regarding the gen
eral treatment. Including bolting
through nnd above the crack.
It Is fortunate that the lcestorm
came when It did, rather than In
Mnrch or April, for decay-producing
germs grow but slowly during cold
weather, consequently there Is u long
er period In which repajr work can bo
done before warm weather arrives. In
cases of estates where a great amount
of Injury hns occurred, and only n
comparatively small -force Is nvnllablo
for repairing the anmnge, the llnnl
cutting of long stubs can be conveni
ently left until early spring, but
wounds or breaks on the main trunk,
or close to it, should be attended to
promptly, in nny case beforo warm
weather arrives.
Leave Cavities Open.
It is not necessnry to fill cavities. It
Is better In most enscs to lenve them
open. All final cuts should be immedi
ately covered with some good nntlscp-

for Filling, Fumigated and Painted.
tic nnd wnterproof paint. It will not
be necessary to specially treat the
ends of long stubs that nre to bo re
moved close to tho trunk later In the
senson.
In no pnrt of repair work should
climbing spurs bo used on a tree,
Spur marks cause Injuries through
which It is possible for disease and
decay germs to enter nnd cause dam
age, in some cases more severo than
would have developed from tho orlg
Innl simple break.
Remember that prevention Is better
than cure. The open wound of today
becomes the decayed spot of next year
nnd the deep rotten cnvlty of ten
years from now. It Is better to spend
n few dnys or dollars In enreful repair
work now than hundreds of dollars
for extensive tree surgery In 1030.
SOIL SHOULD BE PULVERIZED
Where Coarse and Lumpy, Plants Will
Not Thrive on Account
of Air Spaces.
Few gnrdeners realize the importance
of pulverizing the soil ns deeply as It
Is plowed. No matter how perfectly
the surface Is prepared, If tho soil Is
coarse and lumpy below, the plants
will not thrive. Large nlr spaces in
the soil nre a detriment, but a largo
number of very small air spaces in the
Boll are a benefit
PRACTICE REQUIRED
IN HANDLING TOOLS
Gardener Knows How to Manip
ulate Spade or Fork.
Soil Is Carefully Cut In Thin Slice
and Clods Broken Up as Work
Goes On English and French
Are Ahead of Us.
(Prepared br the United States Department
of. Agriculture.)
There Is nn art In handling a spade
or spading fork and it Is only tho
gnrdencr who knows this nrt who gets
his gnrden soil In tho best possible
condition. A great many gardeners
have an idea that the only thing nec
essary is to work tho surfaco up Into
huge chunks and then pound these
Into pieces with the bnck of a hoe,
but, says tho United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, tho gardener who
renlly knows how, Bpndes his soil very
carefully, cutting It In thin slices to

tion of Bumper Crop.
the full depth of the spade, then break
ing up each spadeful as he goes, using
the edge of tho spade or spading fork
for breaking the clods.
No matter how much work Is done
on the surfnee a poor Job of spading
can never be remedied nnd, while
the surfnee may bo loose and mellow
tho underlying soil will bo rough and
cloddy so that vegetables planted up
on It will not do well. A good plow
man turns oVer the furrows ovcnly
and of uniform depth. The sume prin
ciple holds In spading, nnd the spade
fuls should be of unifonn thickness
and depth nnd every one be turned
evenly.
The gardeners of England nnd
France aro far ahead of our American
gardeners In tho matter of soil prep
aration, and we could well learn n
lesson from them. In preparing their
laud for planting they fork It over
very curefully und mix with tile soil
considerable qunntltles of manure.
This mixing, however, is so well done
that the manure disappears In the
soil nnd becomes an Intimate part of
it. There arc no slipshod methods
In the work of these English nnd
French gardeners nnd they nre en
abled to grow more on nn ncre than
some American gardeners grow on live
acres. A llttlo land well prepared,
tho Department of Agriculture be
lieves, Is bettor than n large area
Improperly fitted. Get thu habit of
doing things well, It pnys In the long
run.
GET EARLY CABBAGE PLANTS
They Can- Be Grown Indoors or
Shipped In From Points in
Warm Climates.
Early cabbage plants for setting In
the gnrden can be procured In two
ways, suggests the United States De
partment of Agriculture. They can
either be locally grown Indoors by
some plant grower or they can be
shipped in from n southern point
where the climatic conditions nro such
that the plants can bo grown In the
open ground. Plan.ts grown out-of-doors
nre often advertised as "frost
proof" plants. While this term Is
rather misleading, the plants nre really
very hardy und will withstand consid
erable cold. The great difficulty with
cabbage grown In greenhouses, hotbeds
or In the home Is that they are soft
and easily injured cither by wind or
cold when set In tho garden, This dif
ficulty, however, enn be to a consider
nblo degree overcome by properly
hardening the plant to outside con
ditions before setting them In the garden.
PLANT EARLY IRISH POTATOES
Put Them In Ground Just Befor
Time for Last Spring Frost
to Get Good Start.
Early Irish potatoes may be planted
a little beforo or about the time the
last spring frosts occur. This will
give them an opportunity to muke n
start nnd reach the surface of the
ground by wann weather. Irish pota
toes require frequent cultivation and
should bo gradually hilled up to form
n bed. Largo quantities of manure
should not be used. Great care
should be taken to avoid seed affected
by scab, as this disease develops rap
Idly and greatly Injures the quality.
