cut and sewn to make quilts
for Camp Canbay, the Baptist
Church Camp just north of

The women repotted a real
nice meeting with'much being
accomplished. Lunch was
served by the president.
Diary of a tree
Trees have a fascinating
diary of their life and like
many ` humans, keep the
record securely locked in
their trunks.
Saw through the trunk and
the tree's history is laid bare
in the freshly exposed wood.
It can show how, old it is,
under what conditins it spent
its young life and when
conditions changed as it
grew. It also shows if fire,
disease or insects found it and
what effect they had on its
life. And it's all in a language
anyone can understand.
The pattern ,of the rings
" from core to bark is the key to
unlocking the diary of a tree.
Each ring represents a year
of life from the tree, but their
proximity to each other tells a
more'interesting story.
Rings close together are a
sure indication that the tree
has had to fight for sunshine.
The closer` the 'rings, the less
the ttee grew in girth and
height in that particular year.
A widening, between rings
shows greater annual growth
because growing conditions
changed for thg better.': The
ifnprovem.ent Could be at-
tributed to kinder climatic
conditions or trees being
thinned in the adjacent area.
Trees which receive fire
damage Will bearan ugly
imprint.
Fire can cripple a tree
when it burns through a
portion of the protective outer
bark and penetrates into the
phloem or inner bark. The
inner bark is the life -line of
the tree carrying food to
every - living part of it and
when damaged, it is in-
capable-.of
n-
capable.of delivering a cir-
cular pattern.
Fire, in effect, "blows up a
bridge" and the phloem is
only able to deliver food from
one side of the damage to the
other. When this occurs, the
tree is not only fighting for its
food supply, but it is ,highly -
vulnerable to other hazards.
Insects and disease find it
easy prey andheir damaging
path can be eadily traced.
Growth rings th' t follow fire
are irregular and close
together, showing retarded
development.
The diary of a tree may
seem of little importance, but
its carefully kept record is of
great value to the department
of tourism and renewable
resources, who manage
Saskatchewan's forests.
From its story many . im-
portant decisions are made
such as :- what areas are of an
age to be harvested, -where Is—
thinning advisable, what
species grow best under what
conditions, what infestations
are present and the general
value of the stand. Scientists
too, seek information from
trees, as the diary of a
petrified tree can unlock the
secrets of weather patterns
from the glacial age.
