MANY SHADE TREES
ARE BEING DAMAGED
By Linemen’s Spurs and the Teeth of
Depredatory Mules.
The fact that so many fine shado
trees In the city were uprooted or
broken oil by the reeont tornado em
phasizes the fact that the best of care
should be given those that remain.
Albany has always been proud of
her shade trees. They have been from
time to time planted In the streets by
the city authorities, and those that
have died or been destroyed have
usually been replaced. The city’s
shade is Invaluable in the summer,
when the trees amply compensate for
all the labor expended upon them.
But some of the trees are being
ruined because of inattention. Many
of the smaller oaks have had their
bark punctured in scores of places by
the spurs of linemen, and the inevit
able effect is shown in less vigorous
growth and thinner foliage. The
branches of the small 'trees are so low
that they could be easily reached by
the use of a short ladder, and the bark
would not then be mutilated.
And the Georgia mule Is the mortal
enemy of shade trees. Draymen and
other teamsters drive their mules
right up to valuable trees, and the
mules Immediately begin to chew the
bark against which their'muzzles are
thrust. There is something about the
bark of an oak or an elm which ap
peals irresistibly to the appetite of
a dray mule, and the marks of these
animals’ teeth show on hundreds of
trees In the city.
Why would it not be wise to make
it unlawful for the owner of a mule
or a horse to allow the animal to chew
the bark of a tree? Trees can not
be made tn a year, hut they can be
destroyed in much lees time. Those
we have, and those that will yet grow,
are worth saving.
