 we had noticed and knew, of course, it must be mile l2. That s where Groundhog is and where the mine is and where we ought to be. And that building ahead to prove it. The post was marked only on one side the far si6e from us. We had no fears;we walked around and looked and there, ,"10 miles to the rai1road." We had come only 10 miles and if we had come only 10 miles, how long was it going to take us to make it to 12 mi les and what was that building we had sighted? And where, oh where, was Grounding creek?
 The building was only tent. dirty deserted, broken-in tent We couldn't use it for shelter. The wind hit where it was and the evening was gray and cold. We wanted to keep going.
 We kept walking along. The path wasn | so bad. We were getting out of the alderi and int o timber. Not much grass now either. But it und oubt ed1y was getting ready to rain again.

Fungi, as we all know, are vege-
table organisms that are f1owerless
and multiplied by spores. The
underground species. with which we
are more or less familiar, are the
mushrooms, and we enjoy their
fruiting before they have developed
their spores. In truth. we cannot
eat them unless we gather them
long before maturity takes place.
AS we go through the woods, after
we have had some f1rst-hand infor-
nation about fungi, we become SEN
sitive to the condition of many of
our trees and also see what has been
going on for years in the case of logs
and stumps. No doubt we have
passed by bracket fungi on tree
trunks dozens of times. Now, realiz-
ing these decorative fruiting shelves
may mean the death of a beautiful
tree, we stop and do little investi-
eating.
There are many species of bracket
fungi, three of them being very COM
mon and seen as close neighbors in
woods dear t. your heart. There is
the gray bracket with an ivory sur
face below. It has been the favorite
for budding etchers. who. using a
dry point, have made charming
sketches upon one of Natures spe-
cially prepared plates. This species

promises to be little over that of the
last year.
Generally Better Outlook.
Rents for business space will ad-
vance in almost third of the cities,
say the real estate observers. In the
other two-thirds, present rates will
hold their own. Only 1 per cent OF
the cities fear lower business rents.
Strengthened by the present general
business outlook and expected better
rent returns, prices for downtown
property will rise during the coming
year in something like % per cent
of the cities of the country. They
may soften in per cent Of the cities.
In a dominant two-thirds of the
cities (65 per cent? present price
levels will be maintained, the local
real estate boards predict.
More money rather than less will
be available for financing real es-
tate investment and development in
the coming year, and, contrary to
the prediction made by some other
sources, the real estate boards haz-
ard the opinion that it will cost less
than it did in the last year. Lower
interest rates are foreseen in II per
cent of the reporting cities. Better
supply is in sight for 81 per cent of
the cities, while only per cent fear
the S,lpplv NAV dWindle.
Only per cent of the cities look
for higher interest rates. Against
this, however, presages the fact that
the largest cities (those Of over $780,
900 population. which are usually
the vanguards of any change in real
estate conditions, in their forecasts
lean toward expecting higher rather
than lower rates. OF these cities, ~
per cent look for higher rates, while
only II per cent look for lower rates.

grows to be of mammoth size and
great age, and is perhaps the best
known of the bracket fungi. This
one is an exquisite mahogany or
coral-red above. 1t is easily distin-
guished from the others because Of
its unusual stem from which it
hangs. The upper surface. as well
as the stem, is highly polished,
glowing like metal; the under part is
yellowish-w white. The last of the
three is sulphur-yellow above and
below, the beautiful shaped yell
low brackets overlapping each other.
All of these growths are harmless to
handle and are wonderful for study
purposes
When you see the brackets the
harm to the tree has been accom-
plished, as the fruiting section is the
bracket, and from this vantage point
will later be sifted millions of more
spores, to fall when the winds that
transport them drops them down.
Millions will not find a Granny or
crevice to creep into; others will
perhaps drift into freshly-made
wound on tree or find an opening
left by a falling limb; still others

will lodge in an old wound and begin
their life work-the final destruction
of the tree.
Fungi are floating unseen in the
air during the summer. The spores
develop mycelium, the fungus
threads which push into the heart
of the wood, absorbing nourishment
as they grow. These threads push
in radially and then take an up
ward turn, then downward, thus
weakening the tree. These parasitic
threads may even reach the cam
blum layer, the living ring just
under the bark, and If they girdle
the tree it will die in q short time.
When thoroughly established in q
host, the fungi seek another wound
or opening to push their way out
and develop the fruiting organ, the
bracket. At first the bracket Is one
layer of honeycomb cells. AS years
90 on more cells develop beneath
the first one, and so the bracket
grows and may live to be hundred
years old, while the host may be
living, too, since only girdling would
have caused an early death.
