A Question of Law and How a Judge Decided It We” '3" with mingled amazement and What Our Neighbors are Doing Telephone E ig h t-F ive The City of Toronto is not only One of the most beautiful on the American Continent but the people there enjoying the most progressive and upto-date Municipal Government, spacious grounds surrounding the Adminis tration and other Municipal Buildings. They are pr‘Operly laid out and planted with magificent ornamental trees and give a setting to the structures unknown to the busy city centers of the grmt Middle West. A force of trained men headed by a City Forester and Horticulturist are employed to take proper care of all the Trees-in the Parks and Parkways of the city. Even the larger elms and maples a century old and over are watered dur- ing the dry summer season. T hey? are sprayed twoor three‘times each year to protect them against fungus and the ravages of caterpillars and other insects. They, are pruned each season and'all cavities in. the bark are waxed, painted or cemented and the planting of trees is encouraged by the city and public schools. All this accounts for Toronto having such beautiful trees and so many thousands of them coming on to delight the next generation. Are we here following examples set by such cities as Toronto, Boston and others? Are we paying the proper attention to the beautiful native trees we have and others would be proud of, or do we consider it on unnecessary expense to spray and prune? By importing from every corner of the globe thousands of small trees and shrubs we have invited all sort of plant diseases and insects not known before, that there is more to this than just mere talk from the man having a sprayer and wants a job to spray is shown by the interest displayed by our Government. 5 Every State now has its force of inspectors and an officer of Etomology. Every nurseryman has to spray and fumigate and every tree or shrub sold must have a State Certificate of Health. That‘s more than just Red Tape, it‘s absolutely necessary to prevent being eaten up with Pests destroying our trees and shrubs. ‘ _ r‘ ‘ .I , L,,.
