PINE KNOTS FOR YULE
FIND READY MARKET

Gathering pine knots and market
ing them as fuel for the fireplace at
Christmas time is proving profitable
for All club members in ST. Louis
and other northern Minnesota coun-
ties. Parker o. Anderson, extension
forester, University Farm, who has
members in this undertaking states
been supervising the forestry club
that there are attractive possibilities
in it for others.
The knots are collected from the
woods, rubbed free of any charred
parts of debris and packed in card
board boxes of half-bushel size. The
boxes are sealed and an attractive
label pasted on, after which they are
ready to sell. Because of the pitch
and resin which they contain, pine
knots burn very briskly in the fire.
place, are of a convenient size, and
impart delicious odor of pine. Hence
they have proved very popular as a
substitute for the old-time yule log.
So far, the boys and girls who have
been collecting knots have been I'M
able to supply the demand in the
Duluth market alone, while Twin City
department stares have been eager
to secure supplies. Mr.. Anderson
believes the possibilities for devlop-
ing outlets to both private consumers
and retailers in this and other states
are practically unlimited. Profits
made by the club members last year
average more than Is cents per half
