 And seldom is that second question answered government department recently answered 1t in discussing the question whether or not the vast cfIttinr of Christmas trees is harmful useful.
 The United States forest service points out that this country annually between four and five million Christmas Fir pine, spruce in all their varites, contribute to the annual Christmas tree crop varying in size from to 35 feet in height.
 Is this custom wasteful! There is very little profit the business for those who furnish the ma teriaI. They mostly farmers and of woodlots look the trees gift of nature, and selling them consider only the labor cutting and hauling and the labor and expense required to grow the trees. In aspect of the case, there fore the destruction of these trees Is economic
 
 But the forest service denies that pure economic considerations should lead to the abandonment the Christmas tree custom. Trees it says are for use and there is no other use to which they could be put that would contribute much to the joy of mankind their by children this great holiday of the year"
 The forest service is right.

BARK OF TREE NOT WOOD
Scientist Corrects an Impression Which Has Long Been More or
 Less Widely Held.

Bark on trees and shrubs core spends with the skin on animals. But it isn't wood, according to one scien- tist, and it isn't formed as wood k formed. It covers the wood, and it is generally an easy matter to separate the bark from the wood. Hemp and jute and flax are all bark-thc outside covering of certain vegetable growths.
 Bark is composed of three layers of tissue. The inside layer conducts food to the plant, and under magnifSing glass is seen to be made up of tiny fibers. Then there is the green zone, as it is called, and this also is tibrouS and helps feed the plant The put side layer is cork, and is really dead. That is, these cork cells develop and die immediately, so one really sees only dead tree when he looks at the bark. The cork of commerce is the bark of certain kind of tropical tree, but the outer layer of bark of all trees Is technically known as cork, and the little cells going to make it up are called cork.
