PROLONGING LIFE OF TREES Filling Cavities With Cement Ends the Spread of Decay, and Is a Simple Operation. Pilling the cavities of trees with cement to prolong their lives is being commonly and successfully practiced. 1t is not only worth while in preserv- ing fruit trees, but is also the means ©f saving-valuable shade trees. Trees with cavities several inches deep are often cut down when, by using a little cement and sand, they could be kept alive for ten or fifteen years longer. Of course, the cavities are small at first, but continue to get larger. They favor decay, weakening the tree. With a knife or a chisel remove all of the decayed wood. Trim the edges of the wound smoothly with a sharp %knife. Then a coat of paint or shellac should be given the outer edge of the wound. Successful growers recommend the use of creosote and coal tar to «disinfect the inside of the cavity after it has been thoroughly cleaned out. ‘This may be applied with a brush. The cement may then be put in im- mediately, A good mixture may be made of one part cement to two parts «f clean sand. After the cement and sand have ‘been stirred a few minutes add enough -water to make the mixture into a thick paste. Begin filling the cavity Putting a new heart into a tree. Ce- ment has been substituted for the “heart” and most of the body. from the bottom and tamp the ma- terial thoroughly. The work may be -dome on a warm day, and cement must be protected from freezing at least forty-eight hours. Remember that warmth and moisture are essential for the uniform and rapid hardening of concrete. UNEVEN PAINT COATINGS BAD <Great Care Should Always Be Taken to Have Them of Equal Mois- ture Resistance. Coatings of equal moisture resist- ance should be applied to all surfaces of a wood product which would give dissatisfaction if it were to warp in service. Tests at the forest products 1aboratory, Madison, Wis., have shown hat even when wood is properly kiln dried, no coating entirely prevents 4t from picking up or giving off mois- -ture and, consequently, from swelling -and shrinking under the influence of varying atmospheric conditions. Varnish, shellac, and other mols- ture-resistant finishes merely decrease the rate at which the moisture changes 4n wood occur. The nhigher the grade and the more coats applied, the slower will be the moisture cnanges. Unequal coatings un opposite sur- faces of wooden articles cause un- -equal rates of change in moisture con- tent and hence unequal shrinkage on the two sldes of the plece. The re- sult is that the wood tends to cup or twist out of shapc. Planting Memorial Trees. Planting of trees in honor of heroes who gave their lives in the late war is becoming a favorite method of per- petuating the memory of these men. In (‘leveland, O., May 30, Memorial day win be made memorable by the dedi- .cation of Liberty row, which will ex- tend for nine miles and will contain ©94 trees each planted in memory of a gold star hero of Cleveland. The trees will be called Victory oaks and each will contain a tablet bearing the name of a soldier, and the date and place of his death. Do Away With the Billboard. Signboards more than ever are be- «coming a nuisance on account of their increasing size and number. Our road- sidles are boarded up with great signs ir. flashy colors. Just as a traveler along roadways reaches a point where a fine view is expected a glaring sign completely obstructs the view. It is .exasperating to have a merchant in- trude and force attention to his busi- ness on an individual at a time and place where it is not wanted. No good salesman conducts himself in this man- ner—Exchange. 7 THE BEMIDJI DALY PIONEEk 192-Phone-192 For First Class Livery Service and moderate prices Service Day and Night Rain or Shine JONAS ERICKSON BETTER METHODS £ ¢ %—/» e V. “Atlas was a fool to bear the weight of the world on his shoul- ders.” “How could he help it?” “He should have organized the Globe Trust company to carry it on.” PHONE =77 = Fur your Livery Car Service and Courtesy Our Motto Ward Bros.
