C How does the Californian get so much fun out of Life? How can he spend so much time away from work-yet make his work bring him so many more dollars? ALIFORNIANS do get more fun out of life. About twothirds of us, who lived in other states before we moved out here, will tell you so from our own knowledge. And you can come to San Francisco this summer, enjoy a wonderful California vacation, and see for yourself! By rail, it's almost a business day closer to Chicago with the new shortened train schedules; by auto, the new Victory Highway in conjunction with the Lincoln Highway leads directly through the mountain passes into San Francisco. Californians, with one car for every three people, own proportionately more automobiles than the people of any other state and we use them more-for camping, fishing, week-ending trips to themountains or up and down theseashore. There are no rainy days in summer to tie us down; in winter months our hills are green, our sunshine glorious; there is less rain than in the East in mid Pacific Ocean at Carmel home port-San Francisco seven seas returns to his Francisco's factories and big industrial plants that serve the markets of the Pacific Coast, Hawaii, Australasia and the Orient can prove that this favorable climate adds a substantial percentage to production. And it has helped to make this state the third largest in agricultural production. Here is a letter, typical of what you will hear from thousands of other Californians when you come; exactly what you will say, yourself, after you have lived here: "San Francisco, March 3, 1927. "Most men who like to fish and shoot, and play golf, and camp in the mountains, are situated as I am-their years are divided into fifty weeks' work and two weeks' play. "But I live in California now. Other men, thousands of them, come clear across the continent every summer to do what I can do every weekend. In a morning's drive from San Francisco I can be in the Sierras, with trout and bacon sputtering in the pan by sundown. On either hand the mountains stretch a thousand miles-north to Lassen Peak and Shasta, south to Yosemite, the Minarets, Sequoia National Park and the great jumble of 13,000-foot granite peaks and lakes that lie above them. "Twenty summer vacations spent in different parts of the Sierras have shown me the impossibility of seeing more than a small part of them in a lifetime. "These things mean a lot to me, and to my family. We are as well-off, materially here as we would be anywhere, and probably more so. To us, at least, moving to California is a step we could never think of retracing. (Name on request) E.H.B."

Stony Creek Granite Saving the starving trees of Central Park, То EXPLAIN away the obvious results of neglect and inefficiency, various fanciful and fallacious theories were advanced as to the reasons why the trees of Central Park are dying. In 1925 the Davey Company challenged these unwarranted claims, and made the positive assertion that the trees of Central Park are dying from neglect and starvation. To prove the truth of this assertion, the Davey Company offered to treat, at its own expense, 100 dying trees as a demonstration. A careful survey by Davey Experts indicated that about 25% of the older trees of Central Park are too far gone to save, and another 25%, approximately, are border-line cases in advanced stages of decline, but with some reasonable chance of saving them by proper treatment. The other 50% were in varying conditions from fairly good to relatively poor. The 100 trees selected for demonstration were taken from the second group of border-line cases, and the Davey Company staked its reputation on its ability to save a substantial portion of these dying trees. The treatment given was the result of John Davey's life experience and the quarter of a century experience of the whole Davey organization. This treatment was a combination of practical common sense and scientific knowledge and experience. For exactly the same reason that a good farmer cultivates his fields and fertilizes his soil, the ground under these trees was thoroughly cultivated-adequate and appropriate fertilizers were used-the ground was prepared to receive both water and air, so vital New York to plant life. One of the important elements in this program was the use of Davey Tree Food to stimulate new growth quickly. In addition to this, the trees were given expert scientific pruning to eliminate the dead and weak parts, and to establish a proper balance between a dying top and an impoverished root system. All the trees of Central Park are living under semi-artificial conditions, aggravated by neglect. One year later, in June, 1926, photographs were again taken of the same 100 trees, and a thorough examination disclosed the fact that 90% of them showed definite improvement, a large proportion showing really marvelous improvement. The other 10% were holding their own. All of this proves beyond the possibility of doubt or fallacious argument that most of the trees of Central Park can be saved, if the civic pride of New York forces a prompt and complete abandonment of the past policy of neglect. All trees growing under lawn conditions are living under more or less artificial handicaps. Many of them are actually starving, slowly or rapidly. They need help. Are any of your trees starving? Look for danger signs in the slowly dying tops. The local Davey representative will be glad to examine your trees and report their condition to you without cost or obligation.
