g the tree unshapely or one-sided, should be removed. Then also should be cut away anybranches growing from the stem too low down. As a ruleplanters cut away lower branches close to the stem too freely.Trimming of the ends of these branches would often suffice andthe branches would later develop into fine spreading boughs.All cuts should be promptly and carefully tarred over. Trees which have been broken by heavy gales should besa^\^l across and well tarred over. Care should be taken thatno cracks or cre\ices exist below the place where the trunk ofthe tree is sa^\^l off. It is better to saw across low down thanto have any such crevices, which would otherwise simply serveas a lodging-place for the ubiquitous spores of fungi or forwater lodging in the crevices to cause rapid decay. On onewell-knowTi estate in the Klang district this precaution hadbeen neglected, and many trees which had been broken acrosshad to be sawn across afresh, a very severe tax on the vitalityof the trees. ^w^-^
