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.
