A Forest Service official, however,
definitely put away my fears in the

pened during the Christmastree

First, he explained that spruce trees
provide about 80 per cent of the
Christmas emblem. Spruce trees
grow usually in large swamps. The
trees grow in great profusion, and
hundreds of trees Of all sizes, from
tiny striplings to trees a foot in
diameter, are grown on a single acre.
The cultivation of these trees, he
said, would mean that the first thing
to do would be to cut out many Of
the--smaller trees, just as garden
vegetables are thinned out, to give
the rest chance to grow. This
process, however, is too expensive
for the pulpwood companies or pri-
vate persons who own such tracts.
