A writer in a West Virginia paper
combats the opinion, held by many ar
boriculturists, that an open country is
never converted into forest through
the operation of natural causes, and, as
establishing the fact that such change
does sometimes occur, brings forward
the case of the Shenandoah valley.
When first settled, about 160 years ago,
it was an open, prairie-like region COW
cred with tall grass, on which fed herds
of deer, buffalo, elk, ETC., and having no
timber, except on ridgy portions OF it ;
but, in consequence OF its settlement,
the annual fires were prevented, and
trees sprang up almost as thickly and
regularly as if seed had been planted,
These forests, having been preserved by
the farmers, cover now large part OF
the surface with hardwood trees Of sn-
perior excellence. These facts would
also seem to substantiate the theory
that the treeless character of the prairies
of the West is due to the annual burn.
ing of the grass by the Indians.
