YES, Trees MUST Eat.

Do you know how trees grow
by forming new layers of wood
directly under the bark? The
roots are the supports OF the
tree, says the School Book Of
Forestry, issued by the American
Tree Association, Washington, d.
c. They also supply the tree with
food. Through delicate hairs on
the roots, they absorb soil mols-
ture and plant food from the
earth. and pass them along to the
tree. The body Of the tree acts
as a passage way through which
the food and drink are conveyed
to the top or crown. The crown
is the place where the food is
digested and the. regeneration Of
trees effected.
