AS we realize how very important
so many of our trees are to winning
the war. each tree takes on a new
meaning. Reforestation is going to
be an important project in the
future for many young Americans.
White spruce has wide range,
from Labrador to Alaska, south
ward to Montana, the Lake States,
Northern New York and Northern
New England. The most north
erly stand of white spruce is close
to the Arctic Ocean in Alaska.
Many of our boys now know this
sturdy tree well. as they needed
many of them as they blazed new
trails for their heavy trucks.
These spruce prosper on moist,
we'll drained, porous soils from
sea level to as high as 5000 feet.
Some trees live to be $50 to $50
years old
In crowded situat tons, this spruce
has to do away with branches along
the trunk and may have a trunk
clear and smooth for one to two
thirds of its length. Give it
plenty of room to spread out, and
it will have a beautiful pyramidal
crown and branches growing
along the trunk almost to the
ground.
In late May or early June the
conspicuous staminate flowers of
pale red catkins almost an inch
long will appear on the ends of
the twigs throughout the crown
There is abundant pollen, and the
wind Sits clouds of it to the wait

branches
After this, the fruit blossoms turn
toward the earth and mature in one
season as oblong cylindrical, flexible
cones. These glossy cones may
reach length of two and half
inches. Under the thin rounded

Mounted men have found 1t hard

AS bird runner it ranks close to

Rheas travel around in groups.
Sometimes there are or in a

The eggs of the common rhea are
golden yellow when freshly laid.
Before Matching they fade until
they are dull white. The fading

A male rhea commonly has two
or more females in his flock Several
females may lay their eggs in the
same nest, and the total number in
one nest may be 80 or 40.
The male takes it as his duty to
sit on the eggs. After the eggs
hatch. he guards the young from
animal enemies

the United States and Britain.
