INTERESTING FACTS
ABOUT OUR TREES
Soft Wood Driven to Poor
Soil by Hardwood

The great and stately white pine
Is vegetable coward but that term
must be used in a pretty wide sense
to be wholly applicable. This tree
was found in the original forests of
America occupying sandy tracts,
rocky hills and uninviting situa-
tions. In it's long struggle with
competitors it lost the rich valleys
and fertile hills. and yetreated to
situations where pursuits ard com.
petition would be less vigorous. 1t
found retreat easier than fighting.
Some people suppose that the
white pine occupies sand, swamp
and rocks because it likes those con-
ditions best. The correctness Of
that opinion is doubtful. Probably
no tree "likes" poor soil, though
some are seldom found elsewhere
1t is true that some have lived so
long in such situations that they
have partly accommodated them
selves to their environments, in seed
bearing and in other ways but it
is doubtful if it should be stated as
general proposition that any trees
seek poor places from choice. Back
of their presence there it may be
taken for granted that there is COM
pulsion somewhere.
AS a rule, the broad leaf trees
are better fighters for ground than
the soft woods. The trees which
bear broad leaves-that is, the hard
woods-have been the principal
means of driving the pines, cedars
and expresses to sand, rocks and
swamps. The hard woods are ham
dicapped, however, by their inabil-
ity to prosper on poor soil They
can crowd their competitors Of the
fertile land, but cannot follow with
much vigor upon sterile soil.
The oaks may be classed as the
strongest of all trees that is, they
can hold their own in more kinds of
soil than most others. But there is
great difference III this respect
among the 5O-odd kinds of oak in
this country. The willow oak and
the water oak, for example, can fol-
low the cypress to he very edge of
the swamp in which it takes refuge
from their pursuit, but they cannot
follow the white pine, pitch pine,
and table mountain pine very high
on the hills.
The chestnut oak, on the other
hand, can grow on ridges about as
barren as those where the pitch pine
makes its last stand. Like the pitch
pine, the chestnut oak is about as
nearly proof against forest fires as
any tree.
1t is believed that the first trees
on earth were the soft woods or the
needle-leaf species. They had full
possession once, if that theory is
true. When the broad leaf trees ap-
peared, in the course of ages, they
had to fight for every acre they got.
Up to the present time they have
succeeded in taking most of the fer
tile land, but the ancient species,
the soft woods, are yet able to hold
the poor places.
| Pines, spruces, expresses and
other soft woods flourish on fertile
lasd when given a chance. This is
shown by the vigor Of planted and
protected trees, in parks and in
woodlots. 1t appears evident that
the soft woods did not betake them
selves to sand, rocks and swamps
because they liked those places bet
ter, but because they were driven
there by competition which they
could not successfully meet.

A JEALOUS PROFESSION.

The editor of a prosperous and in
fiuential newspaper once took notion
to enter politics and run for an Office.
He had discussed political questions
freely and more than once had been
offered an Office as reward for party
service. But he had hesitated.
''Is it right for an -uItor to hold o.
fice?" he had asked himself But this
time he yielded. He decided he could
hold Office, and his newspaper would
be none the worse. So he ran for Of
fee and was elected. He continued
to voice his political views through
the paper. After few years he found
his newspaper had dwindled down to
nothing 1t was without influence,
because people thought it had become
a political organ for furthering his
own ends. His constituency no longer
had any confidence In him or his news
paper
This is but one case out of many.
For journalism, as Henry W. Grady
said. is a jealous profession and de-
mands the fullest allegiance of those
who seek its honors or its emolumen.s
II cannot be made the handmade of the
politician and succeed. Its power and
influence are soon gone. Few news
paper men have with success conduct
