Balsam trees usually grow in pine
forests. They have no commercial
value to speak Of. But they grow
among trees that have immense conf
nercial value. Thus to take them is
10 thin out for the benefit of better
trees. The spruce have a distinct
commercial value. But spruce grows
very thickly. usually in swamps, and
II destroys no spruce wood, in the end,
to cut out the small ones. In fact. If
the spruce We're TO be scientifically
cultivated these small trees would be
taken out any way
but that is not the only considera-
ton, There is, to my mind, distinct
value rendered to our forests to have
housands of these little trees brought
into the cities at Christmas time.
Could anything be a better reminder
OF our pine forests? Doesn't the sight
Of these strange trees make you think
of the great forests from which they
came? Don't you suppose that these
usss are the only part Of the forests

that millions of people ever see? Don't
you suppose that when news comes OF
a forest fire in the pine woods many
people would not even read it if they
did not know that thousands Of those
beautiful little Christmas trees were
being destroyed?
must say that in my opinion those
who decry the use of Christmas trees
are very unimaginative persons who
must see a tree destroyed in order to
believe it. l have known persons to
holler about the use of Christmas
trees, but to read Of the many thou
sands Of forest fires each year with an
unmoved heart. The fires represent
real destruction. Still we lose billions
of trees and billions Of dollars and
beautiful Fairgrounds by the score
each year because the people of this
country do not take sufficient interest
in forest preservation. Let's direct our
energy in that direction. If you must
campaign, campaign for increased
funds for forest protection.
