Maine Among Leaders
in the Tree Business.

some extent this year because of the
gypsy moth quarantine. Only a part
of Maine is included in this area from
which no forest products may be
ported, but holly and evergreens from
other parts of New England cannot go
out of the states where they grew until
they have been inspected by repre-
sentative of the Department of Agri-
culture.
A few years ago there was great
agitation against the cutting of
Christmas trees on the ground that il
was destroying our own forests. The
scientific foresters have put an end TO
this wall forever by pointing out that
all of the five million Christmas trees
used in the United States could he
grown on five thousand acres, while the
lumber industries of the country are
stripping a hundred thousand acres
every day in the year
SO the Christmas tree industry could
do only little bit of harm in any case.
and, as matter of fact. 1t is good for
the national forests. The Christmas
tree dealers are allowed to thin the
stands of young conifers, which has
tens their development.
1t is true. however. that some private
wood lots are injured by the wholesale
cutting of small trees for the Christ
mas market. There is very little profit
in the business for the farmer or tim
ber owner, at that. He usually sells
the trees by the acre and they bring
him only from to cents apiece
while they are sold by the retailers at
from % cents to Sl.25, for the most
part. although some trees bring much
higher prices. Five dollars apiece is
not an uncommon price in some cities.
while in New York an unusually fine
Christmas tree has been known to
bring as much S35.

Five Million Chopped

that at least 100000 little evergreens
are chopped down every Yuletide
Inc great cities of the east consume
about one-third of these trees obtain

New York and New England. Thus
Maine. New Hampshire. Vermont, the
Adirondacks and the Catskills supply
most of the trees for Boston, New
York. Philadelphia, Baltimore and even
Washington The swamps of Michigan
and Wisconsin furnish an abundant
supply for Chicago. Detroit st. Paul
and other northwestern cities. In
Pennsylvania and throughout the APP
palachian district into Georgia there
is. of course. an abundant home supply
of trees. while farther west the slopes
of the Rocky mountains form an in-
eXhaustible supply.

The term, christmas tree covers a

that purpose. Balsam fir. however. is
the ideal Christmas tree. Ii has a
| finely tapered. silvery white bole and
evergreen foliage, which retains its
| characteristic woodsy odor for weeks

In Colorado and other Rocky moun-
| tain states blue spruce and lodge pole
pine are used because they are the
most accessible. The eastern spruce is
! the common Christmas tree of New

| Virginia and the District of Columbia
| scrub pine and red cedar are used
| chiefly because the dealers find it too

Tree Industry Could

the bureau of forestry declare that the
raising of Christmas trees on waste
lands could be made a very profitable
industry, as the production of small
ones in nurseries has already become
one in the treeless states.
AS outlined by the foresters, Christ
mas tree farming is almost as attrac-
tive as raising mushrooms or incu-
bator chickens. They point out that
seedlings may he purchased for 81 a
