MONDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1948 / THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE With Canada's Naturalists J "x ' Writers Foi The Canadian Prfss "By: PERCY GHENT /. Winged seeds of trees carried varying distances by the wind are familiar to all,--sugar maples and basswood are outstanding examples. i fs a rule, the wind trip to a plant- ' in site is short, but for trans- port, mathre depends on animals, especially birds. Te is' interesting to ote that the wind-distributed seeds of tall for- est trees are usually dull and in- conspicuous, while the seed-bearing fruit of smaller trees and bushes is colorful. Not only does this color attract birds, but the yellow, red or purplish fruit im many instances clings to the tree until spring, or even later, and is therefore avail- able as food for long periods. Birds will eat dull-colored seeds with zest, of course, but color does attract' them more, it has been learned from observation, and. is therefore 'an important factor in the dissemination of seeds over long distarices. Whatever loss of seeds occurs whenever hungry birds de- Jvour them, has a full compensation in the service rendered by seed scattering over immense - areas, | a? double sense, the fur trade in Canada owes its existence substan- tially to lowly forms of vegetation and animal organisms--a striking phase _of the "balance of nature," 0.C.V.1.

Valuable shipments of furs fo. the Canadian and Unifed States markets arrive from thie Northwest Territories. Some of the larger lakes in that region. have rocky shores | and 'basins. On these submerged | rocks aquatic vegetation flourishes and it is the food which feeds im- mense numbers of whitefish. In turn, the fish is the main source of food for Indian and ether fur trappers and their dogs. ence, the fur trade there is fundamentally dependent upon the aquatic vegeta- tion of the lakes. » Again, plaxton, which is micro- scopic animal life, abounds in the streams and lakes. Plaxton feeds minnows, minnows are devoured by larger fishes, and they in turn feed otter, marten and mink. Thus, in IT'S FOR ME, SOPHIE---IT'S ILL GO SEE IF | WE HAVE ANY MAIL, SOPHIE !
