(From Department of Agriculture, Forestry for Farmers, after Miiller.) So also in the individual tree there exists a competition for light and water between the many buds, twigs, and branches, and sooner or later some must succumb as their number increases and the supplies become relatively less. As a result, in the full grown tree rarely more than eight or ten generations of branches can be counted, — the sur- vivals of this competition; the rest having been killed out, and being annually killed out, by the necessity of household.
