CHRISTMAS GREENS

AS the Christmas Season approch-
es, nearly every household is think
ing about the great celebration. Of
course, there must be Christmas
greens to give their cheer to the fes-
tivities and to decorate the house pro-
.perly. The question is what to gel
and how to get it!
The city dweller will find choice
trees, offered at reasonable price, on
the street corners, at the stores and
markets. He has the choice of bal
sam fir or spruce, from Canada or
New England; and the native red
ceder or spruce pine, with holly,
laurel, and other kinds of greens
from the Maryland farms and wood.
lands. Let him beware, however, of
imposters, because there is very
strict Maryland law, regulating the
taking of Christmas trees and greens,
Those offering unlawfully gotten
trees and greens are prosecuted
under this law.
The Federated Garden Clubs and
their affiliated organizations are max
ing desperate drive this year to
outcast those dealers who do not
comply with the Maryland law,
which provides that no one may Sc
cure Christmas green's from the
property of another without his writ
ten consent, or except under his
personal supervision. Those who
comply with the law will be provid-
ed with certificate to be displayed
with their goods, and those who do
not will not be able to obtain the
certificate. When you purchase your
Christmas greens be sure to get
them from some one who can show
this certificate of guarantee.
The Department of Forestry has
no intention, or desire, to discourage
or prevent the use of Christmas trees
and Christmas green's. Its only con-
Germ is to see that property rights
are respected and that the Maryland
law is observed. To this end, it is
cooperating with the state police, the
county authorities, and forest war
dens to pervent the unlawful taking
OF Christmas trees and greens from
private property without the con-
sent of the owner. This material
has value, and the farmer or wood
land owner, especially in these hard
times, should get the benefit from
his property upon which he pays
Eaxes. and he is entitled to the full
sptection of the law.
