MistIetoe Hunters.

Ceuzy, in Brittany, annually becomes
a center Of attraction for mistletoe
pickers. and the poplars that line the
hi1lsides around about the village
show an abundance of the precious
evergreen, the sight of which would
fill the heart of many Norman mis-
tletoa gatherer with envy.
Here, however, the trees are lofty
and by no means so easy to despoil of
their white berried parasite as the
apple trees In northern France, which
yield most of the harvest destined to
find its way TO the British market.
Nevertheless clambering up into the
tree tops sixty or seventy feet from
the ground is not SO difficult task as
it may appear to those who are un-
initiated into the modus operandi of
the mistletoe hunters.
With the aid of peculiarly shaped
iron critics attached to their feet, en-
abling them to get firm grip of the
trunk or stem which they wish to as
cend, the skilled climbers make their
way from branch to branch with mon
keylike agility, and III few minutes
the tree is stripped Of its mistletoe
crop.
