Cutting down trees has 
a decided effect on cli- 
mate and soil fertility. 
It is an established fact 
that forests tend to pre- 
vent extremes of tem- 
perature, either hot or 
cold, and thereby mod- 
erate climate. They also 
prevent the _ washing 
away of soil, retard and 
often prevent floods and 
thus make cultivation of 
more land possibk, land 
which without trees 
would be arid waste.

Grape vines should be 
trimmed in the fall be- 
cause vines are likely to 
bleed in excess if trim-

rises.

The cranberry was 
originally called crane- 
berry—because the berry 
is borne on curved stalks 
which suggest the neck 
of a crane.

Finland is the most 
thickly forested country 
in the world. Of her to-

Snakes do not charm 
birds in the understood 
sense of the word. The 
instinctive fear that a 
small bird has for a 
snake paralyzes the mus- 
cles of the bird and pre- 
vents its escape.
