Advice on tree planting fur cities
and townH that l applicable to Pen

west end of Umatilla county as well
wan given Attorney II. 8. Wanford of
Walla. Wallu In answer to a letter re
cently written the Smithsonian Instl
tute at Washington regarding the
trout ment of city trees In a letter from
George R Sudworth, dendroIoglHt In
the forestry department, to which
the matter wan referred, In which
the latter recites n few points to be
obmirved In the care of city and town
trees. "Fast-growing treeB," ' he
says, "niich an poplars, silver maplo

and streets, Mr. Sudworth goes on to
siiy attention should be given to their
life ami usefulness Short-lived trees.
such as the poplar and silver poplar,
should be used only for Interplant
Ing between the long-lived ones which
are to serve flnnlly, the short-lived
ones being taken out as soon ns the
others have come Into sufficient size.
Th Irrigation of cltv and town trees.
the dendroloRlst thinks, Is a matter of
special consideration and each sltu
otlon needs to be worked out upon
Its own special merits. It Is possible,
he bellevs, to supply water regularly
to trees through the placing of tiles
near the trunk (Hid by connecting the
tile which sinks to the root of each
tree with a surface run of tiles. The
water li t In at the upper end of the
street will then supply a long line of
trees.
Pruning and other care of orna
mental tres Is thoroughly discussed
Hid explained nn article enclosed
with the letter, and Is printed In full
below:
Kinds of I Tuning.
In order to secure certain very Im
portant results, it Is necessary to
prune shade trees at stated period.
The necessities for pruning shade
trees may be divided under three
heads:
(1) Removal of dead branches.
(I) of llviim branches for the pur
pose of relieving encroachment upon
a neighboring tree.
The Important requirements follow
ing pruning for these purposes Is that
the wounds should heal promptly.
This will be attained best by cutting
maples and birches during October,
November a nil December, and other
trees from November to April.
Wounds made later will lose a full
season's healing growth.
(3) Ilcad.ing-ln, or severely short,
enllig the limbs to secure new top
growth. The trees which may require
and will eiuluie, this treatment aro
mainly poplars, willows, silver maple,
sycamore, Imusis and tulip trees.
The most vigorous and fullest
growth of new top shunts will be se
cured and prompt healing of wounds
about by cutting the tree before or at
the time spring growth begins. Maples
and birches s uiuld be cut during Oc
tober and December; If cut from Jan
uary to April, tho wounds are likely
to flow sail, t tho Injury of the tree.
Other species may b cut back from
November to April. The new shoots
resulting from prunnlng during these
periods hove the great advantage of a
full season's growth, which likewise
hastens, to the fullest extent, the
healing of wounds.
Manner of Pruning.
Mmbs destined to be removed en
tirely should be cut close to the trunk
or other point of origin. In taking
off limbs of considerable size an un
dercut should always be mado first.
In order to prevent them frcrni split
ting of sdllvers of bark and wood from
the trunk. The main body of very
heavy limbs should be cut off at a
point several feet from tho trunk, af
ter which tho stub enn be amputated
without damaging the trunk. The sur
face of the wound should he brought
In line with the general contour of
the trunk. No pnlns should he spar
ed to accomplish this. The surface
of the cut should be smooth, all rng
gedness being removed with a sharp
knife, chisel or other Instrument.
Under no circumstances should pro
truding stubs of limbs be left. They
give nn unsightly nppearanco to the
treo and sooner or Inter admit decay,
which will seriously weaken or de
stroy the trunk.
. What to Prune.
Reference Is made under "Kinds of
Pruning to the necessities for prun
ing: 1. All dead branches.
J. Such living branches as should
be removed entirely, or shortened, to
relievo Injurious encroachment upon
neighboring trees.
S. Heading In to secure new top
growth.
Proper observance of these require
ments does not Include tho cutting of
living branches for any other pur
poses. Llkewlso, It does not Include
stripping branches from trunks ond
Inrge limbs of onks. maples, elms,
sycamores, etc.. for sake of "saving
the vltnllty of the tree," etc.
liefore pruning to relieve tho en
cronrhmcnt of one tree upon another,
the future and permanent value of the
trees concerned should be most care
fully considered. Not Infrequently
the natural beauty of a long-lived
ami very valuable tree has been de
stroyed by senseless cutting In order
to preserve Intact some compara
tively worthless and shortlived.
Protection of New Wounds.
All wounds should be thoroughly
coated with lead paint to prevent de
cay. This Is best done three to four
days or a week after tho cutting,
which will allow the surface of the
wound to dry out sufficiently to ab
sorb the paint effectively. In excep
tional earn wounds may be painted
Immediately after cutting, particu
larly when to do It later would neces
sitate dangerous recllmblng of a tree.
aro of Obi Wounds.
Neglected, unhealed wounds, the
uriHightly results of Improper prun
ing, which are exceedingly common
In street and park trees, may bo
greatly Improved, und the life of
many, trees saved or prolonged, by
Judicious treatment. Dead, protrud
ing stubs should be cut off close to
tho trunk and Into the' living wood,
loiter the wound will heal over.
Large wounds with decayed centers
or exposed cavities should be cleared
o rotten wood down to the sound
tissue. After the surface of the cav
ity has become moderately dry, It
should be protected from further de
cay by a coating of coal tar, creosote,
It ud paint or other effective wood
preservative. The cavity may then
lit. filled with cement, preferably col
tired to approximately as nearly as
possible the color of the surrounding
trunk.
Kcplaclng I'mcIi-hm Trees'.
Numerous old, decrepit and storm
damaged trees tnay exist. They are
unsightly und so disfiguring as to be
beyond recuperation. The present
and future good appearance of these
situations require that all such use
less trees be replaced by suitable
young trees.

"Fine as It is, the fruit display at
the Umatilla-Morrow county fair Is
no more than a sugostion of the pos
sibilities of this district," said Sam
Olduker, the Hermiston real estato
man, last evening. Mr, Oldaker, who
is one of the pioneers of the govern
ment project, having been chief en
gineer of the scheme under the old
Maxwell system, was enthusiastic over
the showing this year, but declared
thut heurtler co-operation among the
fruitgrowers even In the undeveloped
section of the west would have re
sulted In a better showing. !
"The troub!" is that not enough at- ,
tetitlon Is paid to to producing the
very highest excellence In fruit '

ct ptlonally capable. Of course, Her-
miston has practically nothing, to
chow, for this Is our first year under
government water, but the other ex
hibits from the west end are not near
ly up to the standard. I have seen
much better fruit from the Umatilla
meadows and Irrlgon than 1 saw at
the fair.
. "The trouble Is that the fruit
raisers do not live up to their oppor
tunity. The scientific observations
of the government show that this dis
trict, more particularly In the Hermls-ton-Kcho-Irrigon
country, nag the
greatest natural advantage for a
fruit country In the United States,
tut the producers do not meet A
bountiful nature half way.
"Looking over the exhibits here I
don't believe that more than one or
two Individual exhibitors have spray
ed their fruit this year. There were
worms, scale, or bitter rot on every
showing of apples or pears I saw ex
ct pt only one.
"I believe that llermlstoii will set
set a better example when ur dis
t tit r Is producing fruit, because even
now our Fruitgrower' association Is
taking steps to lead the producers In
to developing the greatest possibili
ties tif their orchards.
"Another thing: Tin showings of
the fair are woefully deficient In
packing 1n the Instances where boxes
were exhibited.
"Take for Instance, the Milton ex
hibit. For iolor and size I have never
seen handsomer apples than ome of
those shown there, but the exhibitors
were In many cases too negligent tj
properly polish their fruit while the
packing Is far from up to trie stan
dard.
It Is a well known fact that much
or the fancy prices secured ty Yaki
ma, Wenntcbee and HnoJ River Is
due to the fancy pack and the attrac
tive appearance of a box of their ap
ples when placed on the market.
"I don't want to be rlassed ns a
knocker, for I think the present show
1 much better than ever before, but
do want to see it boosted to the
limit.
"There are millions in fruit in this
district If the grower will apply com
mon business sense In the caring for
his product to get the highest possi
ble price."

sible but she leaves something, up to
