ia Case Of Christmas Trees

Washington, Jan. 12--Figures gath
cred by the American Forestry Asso-
citation on Christmas tree sales show
the most vicious profiteering was at
tempted but that buyers baked and
there was a tremendous loss to the
vendors in many parts of the country
"That is the correct situation and
in it is a great lesson" said Charles
Lathrop Pack. president Of the
Forestry association today.
"If the citizens of the United States
would apply the same treatment in
buying necessities that they applied
when asked from three to eight dol
lars for Christmas trees there would
come a break in prices.
1.-THE American Forestry Associa-
tion," continued Mr.. Pack, is heartily
in favor Of the intelligent cutting Of
any kind Of trees. The fact of the
matter is the pine and spruce used
for Christmas trees need thinning
regularly and the annual cutting Of
the smaller and weaker trees, n
properly done, gives the stronger
trees a chance to develop and become
valuable.
