Pulmotor for Trees
Trees weakened by insufficient oxy
gen, obstructions or surplus
water about the roots, are restored to
vigorous growth by a special “pulmo
tor” treatment which is sald to have
been administered with good results,
It censists in forcing alr currents
about the roots, This is done with
the aid of a compressor operating at
about 100 pounds pressure and a long
hollow “gun” with a shut-off, The gun
is forced into the ground to the depth
of the roots as far from the tree as
the ends of the branches. The alr Is
then turned on and off, the action of
the air being visible to the
