Christmas Tree
Cut Will Total
FOur-Five Millions

Washington, Dec. 11-Between four
and five million Christmas trees will be
felled this year to brighten American
homes, churches and community CEN
ters, and delight the hearts Of the
children. This is the estimate of the
Forest Service, which says that the
total of trees used in this country each
yuletide season equals approximately
the combined consumption of England,
Scotland. and Wales and is about Is
per cent greater than that of Germany.
Forest Service officials are opposed to
any movement to discourage the use
of these trees for Christmas purposes
To the argument that the cutting and
use of the trees is a great waste, they
say that the custom Is so old, so we'll
grounded. and SO venerated. that even
if it were economically somewhat in
defensible, these aspects will and
should continue to outweigh economic
considerations. -. "
Placed all together. the four or five
millions Of trees used annually would
make a mighty forest, but Forest,
Service officers point out that many of
them come from fields which are be-
ing cleared for farming, purposes or
from forests which need thinning to
protect the more sturdy trees. They
also argue that trees are for use and
that there is no other use to which
they could be put that would contrib.
ute so much to the Joy of mankind
as their use by children on this one
great holiday.
/ or the total of Christmas trees con-
stunned in this. country 1900, 900 are used
in New York state and New England,
the Forest Service says. Black and
red spruce are very commonly seen in
New England Christmas celebrations
and in New York and Philadelphia. In
Illinois and Ohio the local demand is
supplied partly with nursery grown
Norway spruce. Pines, are in great
demand for Christmas trees when fir
and spruce are not available. Through
out Maryland, Virginia and in Wash.
ington, ID. c., the scrub pine finds a
way into many homes. while in south
ern Wyoming the Lodge Pole pine is
almost the only species available.
Hemlock is often used, but only in
the absence of other varieties. Red
Cedar, says the Forest Service, is not
despised where better trees can not be
had as in the treeess states and often
in Tennessee and Pennsylvania. In
California red cedar and incense cedar
are not uncommon. The swamps Of
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota
furnish the markets of Chicago, st.
Paul, Minneapolis and the cites of the
plains states. while Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont. the Berkshire Hills of
Massachusetts and the Adirondacks
and Catskills in New York are the
sources Of supply for New York, Phil
adepha and Boston and even Balti-
more and Washington. ---
Christmas trees, the Forest Service
says, vary in size from to So feet
and prices run from % cents to s35 or
$50. Where the % cent trees are
available is not stated.
