Terms Easy. CROSSLEY 8ROS. Builder Contractor, How can the existence of forests at the sources of a stream affect the crops in the district watered by the stream? The question fs not hard to answer. The chief need for the growth of all plants s water. One of the best known authorities estimates that field erops use 300 to 600 tons of water for every ton of dry material produced. This uses up the water in from 2 1-2 to 5 Inches deep of the sail ..Naturally, the nearer tne water is to the roots of the plants the easier it 1s for the plants to take up the water, and the better the crop will grow, Water, whether running free in the stream or lying in the soll, will seek the lowest lev l. If the Tevet or) the water in the stream falls, then the water in the soll (first, from the near neighborhood of the stream, and then from farther away) will find ita way to the stream, and the level so the-plants will find it harder to get water. . In 4tder to keep up the level of the streams in the summer, there must be a constant flow of water from the nead-waters, It Is well known that. when the forests arg,cut away, the watet from the melt of the snow in spring and the rains of other seasons flow away 7 aE PACI Fic EXCURSIONS FIELDS AND FORESTS How Forests May increase-Grain Yields eS jcausing dhinage by floods. The dry seasong of summer find the streams almost dry The soll in the forest, however, is of the water In the Bott wilt tall; and of a spongy nature and souks) up the water falling on it, afterwards giving it out gradually and so furnishing an even supply to the streams and en- abling them to keep up their levels. The higher the level of the stream Is maintained, the higher will be the level of the water in the soll, anil the easier the plants will find it to grow. It ts for reasons above outlined that it Is so important to the farmers of the West that the Dominton forest re- nerves should be* maintained.
