In 1926 the Royal Maii steamer Orca called, but it was too rough to land. In 1927 the Asturias paid a visit which was a great success; the weather was ideal, a large amount of stores was landed and 80 of the island- ers visited the largest ship which had ever called at the island. A few weeks later the Suveric called and landed over 40 tons of stores. In 1928 the Canadian Pacific liner Empress of France called and the visit marked a red-letter day for the wonien and children of Tristan for they were received as guests and feted. Quickly following this visit came an- other by the Harrison limér Author, which landed stores. There is a problem now of the sur- plus population of the island. Ships that call on their way from South Africa always go on to South America £0 that the necessity is for a ship that goes to and fro. Two schemes are being considered; one is that a suitable vessel, manned as far as possible by islanders, should be purchased and | should be worked under charter<when not required for trips to the island. The other is for a vessel of a Cape steamship line to make a yearly visit to the island and back. The older inhabitants cling to Tristan, but some of the younger ones might be induced to launch out and settle at the Cape. The Cape Government has tindertaken an inspection of the land near Wal- fish Bay with a view to such a settle- ment.

GREEVES-CARPENTER, FRHS 'Why should shade trees be expected to thrive on insufficient food? Yet there are thousands of tree owners who do not realize that the trees under their care need special help be- cause of exigencies of city life. In woods and forests there is a con- stant yearly feeding of trees by natur- al processes. The process by which she feeds the trees is almost mi lous, for a forest is like a gigantic chemical laboratory. The leaves of the trees absorb a certain amount of nourishment from the air, but it is from the soil that the trees obtain their maximum. amount of food, and in woodlands the falling leaves remain on the ground and are acted upon by the elements until they decay and form humus or natural plant food. Under the artificial conditions in whith the trees on lawns attempt to thrive, they are deprived of this re- funding of food as the lawns are usu- ally kept nicely swept, and, as a re- sult, the soil becomes impoverished. Then, gradually, trees under such con- ditions are weakened, are attacked by {nseets and fungi, and decay sets in , In this way many a stately tree has been lost. How Can We Feed Them? How are trees artificially fed? To answer this question we need con: sider how a tree is formed, It has a trunk and foliage we know, and it has roots, too, but just how does it feed, we wonder?

At the ends of the long roots there are | a number of fine thread-like feeding ' rootlets which take up the nourish- ment in the form of liquid salts, and this is transported throughout the | whole system by the sap in the tree. Trees seek certain chemicals, for that is their food, and these can be given in the form of a commercial | fertilizer which, with the action of | moisture, releases just what the tree | requires. Bore 18-Inch Holes For feeding deciduous trees, a stand- ard commercial tree food should be, purchased from a seed store, and a| number of holes 18 inches deep and | two feet apart should be bored under the extremities of the branch spread. Bach hole should then be filled to within about four inches and the hole plugged with soil. Then, after fer- turning the hose on it and leaving it until the land is almost sodden-- about eight to 10 hours. Deciduous trees fed evory second or third year will well repay the extra care and attention and be far healthier than those which are not provided with food. elfen Break Colds with ards Liniment.
