MEN AND TREES 



In tropical countries primitive man is almost entirely dependent for his living 

 on trees. 



His huts are made from the palm, his boats are hollowed trees, his food comes 

 largely from trees. When he chooses to work it is usually to the forest he goes to 

 bleed the trees of chicle for chewing gum or raw rubber or to cut down some of 

 the prized forest trees mahogany, cedar and rosewood.
