Steady Demand for
Christmas Trees by
Out-Of-State Parties

Professor George A. Yeaton, state
horticulturist, stated yesterday that
there has been a steady demand Tor
Maine-grow Christmas trees this
wear from outside the State, and that
three Federal inspectors and several
men from the State Department OF
Agriculture have been kept very
busy for the past month inspecting
shipments from washington county
and other parts of the State.
every little infected material has
been found this year, due largely to
the fact that the men cutting the
trees have been educated up to a
point where they can be trusted to
throw out any trees that appear TO
be carriers of such infection" he
said.
Professor Yeaton also pointed out
that the custom of sending Christ
mas wreaths outside the State, both
for commercial purposes and as
gifts, is growing rapidly, and he said
that more wreaths of this sort have
been shipped out in 1926 than ever
previously.
1.-THE materials which go into
these wreaths is also subject to in
spection at the places where the
wreaths are manufactured, and we
find that considerable care is being
used in manufacturing this product"
The Christmas trees form one of
the important sources of income OF
many of the farmers of Maine, and
except for localities subject to quar-
antine the annual revenue which is
brought in through the sale of the
tiny spruces and frs goes far toward
making tie Christmas season a happy
and prosperous one for the owners
Of land that would otherwise be of
little value.

Lumber Crews
To Fight Proposed
Ban on Game Fish

The move that has been instigated
to introduce bill at the coming ses-
sion of the Maine Legislature to pro-
hibit the use of game fish to lumber
camp crews is expected to arouse a
storm of opposition from the owners
of numbering operations all over
Maine.
At recent meeting of the Maine
Sportsmen's Fish and Game Associa-
ton letters were introduced tending
to show that fishing in certain small
lakes and streams was injured, and
In some cases practically ruined, be-
cause of the frequent feeding of
trout and salmon to,entire crews. of
woodsmen.
A similar law already prohibits the
feeding of venison in the camps, and
this law has already resulted in a
considerable increase in the deer In
many of the hunting sections of the
State where numbering is carried on.
1t is felt, however, that the amount
of damage done to the fish because
of the proximity Of lumber crews
does not warrant the entire prohibit
ton of the use of either fresh game
fish or meat.
Except in the case of small
streams and ponds of no great size,
it is obviously not possible for a
numbering crew to entirely clean out
the fish in body OF water by any
legal method of fishing.
In most localities the amount of
trout or salmon that can be taken
by fisherman, or party of fisher
men, is strictly limited by the pres
ent law, while the kind of fishing
1v-
strictly specified, and so framed as
to prevent slaughter of the fish.
Lumbermep as a class feel that
the present laws are sufficient, If
they are enforced, to prevent any
great or general depletion of the
States supply Of game fish, and they
also feel that the mere fact of a
mans working in the woods ought
not to bar him from eating trout,
salmon, or whatever he can get in
the way of fresh fish.
