Trees Can Not BE Acclimatized.


Trees are fixed, almost infexible,
in their habits. For centuries, in
deed as long as We have record, each
species has kept in It's beaten ways:
insisting on the same average Of
temperature and refusing to grow
where this could not be found seek
ing and occupying certain kinds OF
soil and demanding certain amounts
of moisture and avoiding situations
where these were wanting.
The latest authorities go so far as
to declare that trees can not be ac-
cllmatized; that is, that even the In
genuity and perseverance of man
are unable to induce trees to change
their habits far enough to adopt a
country not closely like their native
habitat. For time the forester
may use various devices to sur,
round a tree with artificial condi,
lions by which, so to speak. the tree
is deluded into feeling at home. But
as soon as the forester's care is with,
drawn in such cases, the tree is seiz.
ed with inconsistencies and dies of it
This fastidiousness in the habits
of trees has It's good and its bad

sides. It absolutely limits the for
ester's choice Of trees to grow in a
given region. To seek to force tree
growth in uncongenial conditions is
entirely frultless. But. on the other
hand. there Is practical certainty OF
results: II beech or spruce thrives
where the average warmth and mols-
ture Of the growing season from year
to year ranges between certain de.
grees. then wherever else, in the
northern hemisphere at least, the
same average Is found, the forester
may plant beech or spruce, whether
or not they be not already there,
with confidence that they will
flourish.
The same law works both ways.
II the forester finds beech or spruce
or any other tree growing in region
Of which the climatic conditions are
not recorded, he knows within very
narrow limits what the climate Is.
simply because he knows that at
home this tree grows in such a eli
mate. In other words, trees, espe-
cially OF course those which are par
ticularly fastidious. are very salts
factory substitutes for thermomet-
ers and barometers so far as the
average temperature and moisture
conditions during the vegetatlve
season are concerned.

tory to West Virginia, yet, II 1T needs

to Washington and declares that
Secretary Taft is weakening in this
State because of the impression that
he favors a revision of the tariff
speaks without knowledge of the
temper and desire of the rank and
file Of the Republican party in this
State. Taft will doubtless get fine
support from West Virginia in his

CHANGE OF ADDREss-wbe,
Big Health Movement.

Agitation and discussion without
work take their own long time To
bring results. Sometimes they
never result in any thing. But
properly directed their results come
rapidly as all are convinced from the
progress already made along the
line OF good roads, which was inspir-
ed by agitation on the subject In the
press and the numerous good roads
conventions held the past year in
West Virginia. The first significant
result was the establishment of a
good roads department. in the State
government. with a highway inspect
or now in charge. othery results
are local as shown by the earnest,
jealous interest taken by the county
court in providing better highways
and travelling facilities.
With success GROWING this sort of
agitation, the movement in this
State in the interest of Lfe and health
may start on its career with con-
fident hope. This movement is by
the West Virginia Antl-Tuberculosis
League, which recently organized at
Charleston. This league is emulat-
ing the good roads movement by hav-
ing mass meetings in counties. where
the subject OF tuberculosis is dis
cussed and methods advanced for
its eradication. Doubtless, such II
meeting will be held here in the near
future.
The object of this league is to fur
nish information. instruct and teach
ways and means preventing tubercu-
lar infection, and raising the stand
ard of physical resistance.
To arrest the progress of, and to
effect cures in those who are now, or
may become infected with tubercu-
losis.
To encourage the establishment OF
state, public and private sanitarlums
in West Virginia.
To centralize cooperative efforts.

tional organizations. appeals to all,
citizenship OF the State to co-opera-
lively assist the West Virginia Anti

It is the intention of the league to
so Systematically disseminate knowl-
edge Of what tuberculosis Is, how 1t
is communicated from one individual
to another, the intercommunicatio
from animals to human beings the
conditions under which contamina-
ton takes place. its destructive re-

with which such contamination, dis

cured that even the most unlearned

effort to prevent further destruction
from this dreadful disease.
