Value of Trees.
Th soil is a resource of priceless
value. Its formation on rocks la ex-
slow. According to Prof. J.
Bowman, many glacial scratches that
were made on rock during the
glacial period, between and 78.-
years ago, are still as fresh as If
had been made only yesterday.
Yet since the glaciers thus recorded
themselves man has come up from
cave and the stone hammer. Seventy
thousand years Is a very short time
for the development of a soil cover;
for man It means a period great
that the mind can hardly grasp it. The
cutting off of the trees exposes the
soil so that the rain upon it, and
since It bas lost the protection that
the roots and the litter on ground
afforded the soil Is soon washed
away. In fifty years a single lumber
merchant can deprive the of soil
