Mad Aon St., Im 211, Chicago TELLS HOW TO TREAT THEM By W. L. Alexander. Although very young, tree surgery has been proven to be very practical, an ordinary patch, adding on an av-! partB of the country by fire la one of With the fire loss of $1,000,000 a month, steps must be taken to head off the tremendous waste, Governor Dunne says in a proclamation asking that October 9 be set aside for observ- ance aa "Fire Prevention Day." The executive suggests that exam- ination be made of all properties on this day to learn if there is any Are dangers that can be eliminated and|< that fire drills be held. The proclamation reads: "Among the many vital problems which call upon our people for solu- tion the situation with regard to the waste of energy and resources In ail erage thirty to forty years to the life of the tree. Forestry has arrived at the stage where owners of beautiful trees realise the need ot taking care of them. Rots develop from various troubles, the most common being an- thracnose, a specie of brown tall moth which gets under the bark and eats into the surface of the wood, the crown gall (bacterial) the woolly aphis and ants. The latter honey-! combs a tree for several feet, allow-! lng water to settle In the wood, form- ing a fungis growth or a wet rot. This; is the most dangerous rot there is to I contend with, as it penetrates and I weakens the entire tree. This can be fought successfully by cleaning out the rot almost as carefully as one would a tooth. Burn the surface well with a power torch and disinfect with corrosive sublimate or potassium cya- nite. Different Terms. German foresters speak of trees as male and female, and Americans speak of the trees as seedlings and non-seedlings. Seedlings are more susceptible to rot than non-seedlings, as their wood Is much softer. When the rot has been thoroughly cleaned out the tree Is filled with cement, making an air tight filling, and the tree at once begins to recover, build- ing its wood around the cement Mr. J. M. Grant of Highland Park Is the owner of a Flint maple, that holds a remarkable piece of work. The entire trunk rotted and all the limbs but two were completely hollow, caused by a dry rot which started from deabrotlca, a species of borers which weakened the tree and allowed the rot to spread upon it. It was a remarkable rot; 11 % cubic feet of solid cement was put into the tree, a total weight of 1,150 pounds, making a solid tree stronger than the perfectly sound tree would have been. Considering the fact that It is almost impossible to make wet cement stand straight up without forms, and one can not put forms on limbs of this kind, the fin- ished job Is a master piece. A Record Tree. This maple has the distinction of being the third largest piece of work the most commanding. The subject of the conservation of our resources Is at least deservedly receiving the most careful attention. Our forests are be- ing preserved, our water power and waterways developed and utilized, and the hidden forces of nature conserved and made subservient to the well-be- ing of man. | "Statistics show that the fire waste | is increasing annually and the fire loss In the state of Illinois in 1912 averaged $1,000,000 per month. Be- sides this, In that year alone nearly four hundred people in this state lost their lives through the agency of fire. The losses thus occasioned constitute an absolute waste and a drain upon our resources such as no nation or state can long endure, and the fact that they are largely preventable is a reproach to our people and calls for an immediate remedy. "For the reason herein set forth and In order to arouse our people to a vivid Bense of fire dangers and in- duce them to take more active inter- est In the subject, I hereby proclaim that Thursday, the 9th day of Oc- tober, 1913, be known as State Fire Prevention day, and I earnestly rec- ommend that our people observe It by a general cleaning up and removal of all rubbish, trash and waste from their premises. "Let all heating apparatus and chimneys be carefully gone over and placed in a proper condition for win- ter use. "Let all public and private Institu- tions, hotels, asylums, factories and theaters be carefully looked over on that day, and when necessary changes made that will further pro- tect the safety of the occupants. "Let local authorities give atten- tion to the matter of better building regulations, fire protection and pre- vention, as well as added apparatus for fire fightings. "Lastly, let fire drills be held on that day in Institutions, factories and in public, private and parochial schools, and I earnestly recommend that teachers instruct their pupils, through short talks and proper pro- grams, on the dangers of fire and the simpler means of fire prevention. "Given under my band and the seal of the State of Illinois, at the Capitol, in the City of Springfield, this first day of September, A. D. 1918."â€"By the Governor. B. F. DUNNE, Governor. HARRY WOODS, Sec. of State. Spirited band music will be provid- ed to encourage the warriors on the Northwestern football squad this fall in at least the one "big" game of the season, by the university band, which will be organized soon after college opens next week. O. Paul Blanker, 823 Foster street, has been selected as leader of the band and expects to per- fect the organization and conduct re- hearsals within the next two weeks. The fact that at least one or two ot the contests this fall will be enlivened by martial music, will be welcome news to the college football rooters. Last year no music was provided and1 much enthusiasm was lost.

On Drezel boulevard in Chi- cago s limb was torn off by a storm last year, hanging only by a few apllnters. It was lifted into place and the tree Is living. The broken limb weighed 3ft tons. If owners, whether individuals or ^communities, will take care of their trees one hundredth part as well as they do their flowers, foresters would have no work, because, a tree If given any chance at ell will recover itself do more to correct any trouble than aU the foresters in the country.
