In all forestry work it in very net-el- sary to bear in mind the history of s typical forest. The way in which mun Burt- u forest may weane- be ob- served on n nee tint has none year! before been visited by . fire which iburned all the trees, or by . severe wild- storm, which blew them all down. Then seed from near-by trees fell on this tree; some of this need (owned, but only lt, fraction of the seed that tell, for tutu" in very llvish in thil regard. I The Pigat You; A year or two “tor the fire or wind. storm, if the tact in vUited, my little seedling tree- will be found. For t few year, every one of thee. little seedling! will hue e chum to grow on much "l, it likes. It will have to meet my du- gers--rfrom frost, for instance, or from drought, or from too much moisture-and natunlly many of the little trees will die from such causes. After overcoming these. however, each little tree is free to grow " its beat rate for some time, with all the soil, space end light it has any need for, Crowding Begins. pi But after some years, as the trees be. fl come taller and spread out more, a. time ti comes when the crowns of the trees be- di gin to touch one another. (The term d "erowtt" is a general word, meaning the h branches and oliage of the trees.) This a tends, by shading the soil, to keep the t light and heat away from it, and is bene- p ificisl; the moisture is kept from evapor- y sting, and, moreover, the soil is made tl richer now by the leaves and twigs a which fall from the trees. and, decaying, 1 form new leaf-mould or humus. I The effect on the trees is very notice- t able. They begin to grow in height much I more rapidly. Growth sidewise is, of I . course, hindered, and the entire strength , of the tree is centred on growing up- ward. Besides, the trees are forced to grow upward in order to keep alive, and the tree that can grow fastest in height is the one that finally survives the rest. The reason for this is that a tree. like every other plant, absolutely needs light for its healthy growth, for without light it cannot make food for itself. It is of no use for the tree to grow out horizontally, in trying to get to the , light, for there it is cut off by its neigh- ' bore. So it must grow upwards. and, if ' it falls behind the other trees, these lat- '|ter shade it, and so keep it back, and, perhaps, kill it out altogether. The same ' effect can be noticed on the lower ; branches of any of the trees, from which a the light is out off by the upper parts of the tree. These, after a few years, I. die, and are finally blown off by the d wind, knocked off by other branches, or " are broken off in some other way. ll The Fastest Growers Survive. " As the fastest growing trees get the re most light, they have the best chance d for development. First they grow above their neighbors, and so they get the tV chance to spread out sideways at the. b- top. 90 they shade these neighbors and keep them back-perhaps finally killing st them altogether. This process goes dn for years and years, and in the end only -- _. 7. .1 AL- an“... midnh nr. for years and years, end in the end only I a. small proportion of the trees which or- ' iginally Muted in the race will be alive. l Eunplee Prom Netnre. A good example of this is IOU” in the _ ease of the poplar in the Turtle Mount- ain forest reserve in Maintain. Study oi this tree by officers of the Dominion Forestry Branch ehowed that. while, at the age of tan years, the ever-3e number 1 of poplar trees per acre is four thouund (4,000), st eighty yem of age their number bu been reduced to three hum dred (300.) At forty yous of age there had been 850 left, and at sixty years of age 425 remained. The white pine in New England was studied similarly by the l'nited Sum forest service. They found that wrere there were twenty-um hundred ('2,200) trees per acre at ten years of age, there were only two hundred and sixty (200) at sixty years of age. At thirty yen! of age almost Ulf had died out. the I number remaining being 1,000: at forty years 09" had been left, and at. iitty I years four hundred WHO). ' Close Planting. Foresters, in planting trees, take a, les- son from the foregoing facts. The trees are planted very Ghee together-five feet apart each way. for instance. In a few fears-sis to eight, probably-tlie (-rowm of these will meet and shade the ground. The great majority of them, , trot-s die, of course; the forester knew _ they would do so.

Trrws that luwrr subore Weir migh- bors are known as "turtuiuant" trees. while those which are killed out or badly stunted are known as "suppressed" trees.

Finally, however, growth in height comes to un end: the chief wagon for this in that the tree is no longer able to pump up water so as to give a. proper supply to the crowns.
