Trees furnish one of the most str1k-
Ing and permanent forms Of beauty.
What stately grace, what fne proper
tons, what variety Of expression. and
what unconscious dignity may be seen
In well-developed tree. How they
beauty and glorify every landscape.
Trees improve the climate and con-
serve soil and water. Although the in:
huence of trees and forests on climate
is not definitely known, the effect Of
an all too reckless destruction is be-
ginning to be felt. Springs and streams
are failing that never failed before;
soil droughts are more severe and pro,
tracted. Untimely frosts are more
ru1nous to all the more delicate fruits,
and wind storms are moro damaging
than in former years. :
Trees furnish safe shelter and
natural resting places for birds. Birds
are tho best allies We have in fighting
insects, but the removal Of tho forests
has greatly lessened the number of in
secteating birds. Trees furnish a
great variety Of miscellaneous. useful
products, such ~ fruits. nuts. sugar.
honey, tannin, pitch. turpentins, dyes
and medicines.
Az tho only source Of wood supply,
trees touch the welfare Of every man,
woman and child. but their influence
goes much farther. It underlies tho
great questions Of soil preservation
and soil fertility; tho use and control
OF rivers and streams: tho water sup.
ply OF towns and cities. In short, CIV
1lfzation and progress are based largely
on trees. There IL no crime against
nature that draws down a more certain
or severe punishment than that of
stripping the earth Of all her trees
