Treales Condition OF the PrairIes.

In reply to query from a correspon-
dent, the agricultural editor of The
World says No entirely satisfactory
cause has even been assigned for the
treeless condition OF the fertile prairies,
or OF the arid plains, although it has
been the subject Of great many theor>
les. One is that the prairies were once
lake beds, aud afterwards, on becoming
dry, they were grown over with rank
grasses, the burning OF which prevent
ed the growth of trees. Another is
that severe and long continued drought
destroyed the forests, and on a change
OF climatic condition the grasses were
the hrst to rever and have since held
their sway through the aid of fires.
Perhaps the theory most generally
held by vegetable Psychologists is that
the long continuance of forest growth
OF the same species on a rich soil, made
constantly richer by its own annual
deposit of leaves, dead wood and excre-
tions from the roots, finally makes it
poisonous and unfit for their growth,
though nutritious to plants of different
families. Decay produces more and
more dead wood, so that fires finally de-
strey what the soil refuses to nourish.
Coarse weeds and grasses aboudd, which
make food for new flames to destroy the
remnant and prevent future tree grown.
Assuming the above to be true to &C
count Tor the present changed condi-
tioE of the prairie soils, it is said that
age of continuous growth of grasses and
other perennials have assimilated those
qualities that were obnoxious to the
growth Of trees, and in natures process
Of rotation Of crops the soil has again
become fitted for them. And so it has
come about that i. is only necessary 20
to check the annual prairie fire for q
new crop of trees to dominate,
