(U.R) Modern tree surgery is being used to save a beech tree, one of the seven remaining original trees planted by Thomas Jeffer son at his home, Monticello. George Van Yahres, tree con sultant, is grafting a new trunk into a wound in the original tree to bridge over a spot where the bark has died. The tree was split by a windstorm some 50 years ago. Thomas Rhodes, who was care taker at Monticello at the time, pulled the tree together and braced it with a chain and large hooks. Since then, several more modern innovations have been used in the effort to keep the tree sturdy. In 1925, the brace was replaced with steel cables and eyebolts. Like many an old soldier, the beech tree suffered from neglect during World War II and the old wound became so infected that a large part of the bark died. That is why the new graft is needed. Yahres said the surgery will take more than one year to com plete. A young beech was select ed from the stock of a specialized New York nursery and planted at the foot of the old Jefferson beech. When sap movement in the young tree is normal and the young tree has fully recovered from the shock of moving, the actual grafting will bPSin. White Men Construct Aged Indian's Home Julian, Cal.
