CHRISTMAS TREES

The Rutland Herald invariably has
a "spell" about this time of the year
regarding the annual Christmas tree
cut. 1t broke out in the following
words this year:
The annual Christmas tree slaugh-
ter is about to begin in Orleans coun-
ty, which according to the Barton
Monitor, is excellent business. If we
happened to own a pasture adjoining
a woodlot, we should prefer to have
the trees grow and become timber.
The Monitor needs to add little to
what the Springfield Reporter has
said in answer. The Monitor does not
believe in all of the Christmas tree
cutting it has seen, but it does be-
ieve that the great majority of it
as practiced in Vermont, is best done.
Land suitable for tillage or grazing is
best cleared of growing trees, spruce
or other species. All other areas are
best left to grow timber. Our obser-
walton leads us to believe that most
Christmas tree cutting is done in
pastures where the land can best serve
man by grazing cattle. The Spring
field contemporary we'll says:
Supposing that was the only pasture
you had, and every spruce tree made
that less pasturage for your stock,
and a few years of letting "the trees
grow and become timber" would make
it impossible to pasture any stock, and
thus render your farm worth 80 to rs
per cent less, what then? In many
cases it is shortsighted policy to sell
the rapidly growing spruce trees for a
song, just as the Herald thinks, in
others it would be better to give them
away than to allow them to grow and
spoil otherwise good pasture. This
the writer knows, having been born
and bred on a farm where just this
has since happened to an otherwise
excellent grazing field.
