It may be left cither white, yellow? or brown. Th change in color may be due to th» color of the mycelium â€"of the attack. ing fungus, to cecrotions by the fungus or by the wood ijtself or +o chemical changes induced by the acâ€" tion of the mycelium. In most on the phenomena of decay are chara~> eristic for each species of fungus s that, usually, the responsible or>: ism can be determined merely by a examination .of the affected wood. a After a sufficient amount of wo N has been used as food the fun>s From an economic standpoint th» most important group of forest fung: is that which causes the decay of wood. The fungi in this group ars mostly of one general type known as bracket fungi or polypores. Some of the mushrooms, however, are also caypâ€" able of destroying wood. These forms may either work in the heartwood or in the sapwood of the tree, thourh sometimes the same fungus will :+ tach both heartwood and sapwoo! Most of them are capable of living either upon living or dead wood. Trees are protected from the a tack of woodâ€"destroying fungi by th» bark but it is usually the case thai in one or more places the bark is broken or wounded and it is at these plase: that the spores of the fungus gain entrance to the tree. Such wounds may be caused by birds, animals, inâ€" sects, wind, snow or the natural death of limbs due to lack of light, Ths spores of a woodâ€"rotting fungus lodging on such wounds, germinate ;! sufficient molsture is present and th, amounts of timber are destroyed by fungi, and while these losses are not usually as apectacular as those caused by insects they are quite as important and deserving of attention. It is only within recent years that fungous and insect depradations in the forest have been given any thought. This is due to a realization of the fact that timber supplies in this country are becoming increasingly scarce and that ever; agency which is responsible for deâ€" struction in the forest should be car>. oneâ€"quarter of magniiving hon The speec made in ans claims for the the Sudan a Egypt. *n import ment says th when recent] advised the | to inform Great Britain to abandon th Great Britai several ies with guaranteed at ment, | Officials of 4 do not know y be brought in The demand, be heary. and 4 and Ind to agre 4P Provincial rourht n nno BRINC D TO A despatch iry with $6 ton textile i fourth, the 071,066; and industry wi St. (‘.umj 3120 acres Federe] industry of oceupies 1 as_ regards output in J 540.
