caterpillar drawing from three to
five scrapers, pulling up trees, and

More spruce trees are being cut
and shipped out Of the State for
use as Christmas trees every year
than are raised here in ten years.
State Forester W. G Hastings said
when interviewed in regard to the
large shipments of trees which are
in preparation at Montpelier Uf
the sevet al million trees shipped
for this purpose last year, nearly
all were spruce, he states. At
present dozen cars of trees, said
to average 2,700 trees to the car,
are being loaded in local railroad
yards. The full output of the
State nursery is being used, and
this is as large as is possible under

done without damage to anyone
who wants to do the right thing
by himself and the State.
