should trampling the earth destroy She
trees! The reason is one Of wide anil
important application to the laws Of veg
etable growth The roots Of plants need
the air just rs much as the leaves srd
branches. Their case is similar to that OF
fishes. which although they must hsve water
must have air also. viz. jns, abou. as much
