INDEX TO ADYERTISERS Out of the Woods

(Continued from Page 64) to let air in to cells that contain a green substance called chlorophyll. The air carries vital traces of carbon dioxide, and a tenth of it rvill be taken in by the chlorophyll. The process goes on in combination rvith the oxygen and hydroof rvater, forming sugar. The sun's energy supplies tht: power, so the process is called photosynthesis.

Tree Fat and Muscle . .

The sugar is the t1'pe knorvn ts "dextrose." From it 95 per cent of the body of the tree is built through a maze of reactions. One reaction combines dextrose rvith nitrogen to make amino acids from tvhich proteins can be created. Only plants create proteins, which are essential to all life. Trees are plants. A forest in nature is a family of plants.

The bole of a tree ma-v be 5O per cent rrater, rvith leaves and roots 90 per cent rvater content. All the processes oi tree life occur in rvater solutions. \\tater enters the roots, and rises up saprvood channels to the leaves by the drarving force of solar energy. The lift ma1' be as much as 3(X) leet in an old-grorvth Douglas fir.

Through the stomata the tree's excess rvater is given to the atmosphere through the tree by a process called transpiration. The surface of the leaf cells that contain chlorophyll are kept moist by transpiration.

A Douglas 6r that is four feet thick and trvo hundretl feet tall may have as much as 30,000 square feet of leaf or needle surface to catch the energv of the sun.
