If this is done and followed by the use of scalecide, kerosene emulsion or thor- ough washing, I have no doubt at all but that the trees can be cleaned up. BOREBS. The most serious enemy of the maple tree is the borer, which works in the stems and main branches girding the sapwood, causing the death of large branches and sometimes the entire tree. When the borer is at work, it should be dug out, the affected parts treated with an antiseptic, the cavi- ties filled where necessary, and the wounds painted. There is a good deal of this injury wherever the maple tree Is freely planted. PRUNINO. A large portion of the street trees in Binghamton are in need of pruning. Some of these have been pruned in the past and not very wisely. A funda- mental principle in pruning is to cut so that no stubs shall be left. The branch should be removed close to the stem from which it springs. In this way nature will heal the wound by covering it over with new tissue. All cut surfaces should be painted to keep out moisture and germs which bring decay. There is a good deal of this work to be done on the Binghamton .street trees.
