that the government might not cling

Anthony Eden, British minister for

RaIeiph Dec 16.-Wasteful cutting
of Christmas green's, as is still gem
erallv practiced throughout North
Carolina and other Southern States,
was deDlored yesterday by j. s. Hol-
mes. State forester, who warned that
continuation of such destruction will
end only with the depletion and pos
sible determination of some of the
most decorative plants.
Mich of the cutting of these de-
corations. the state forester pointed
out. constitutes the thOughtleSs waste
or n resource that was formerly
plentiful Tut which during late years
has decreased steadily because Of an
increasing drain on available stock.
Christmas green's of virtually ali
lypes, Mr.. Holmes continued. when
treated with consideration constitute
Il crop that may be utilized from year
to year and which will provide a per-
petual harvest. ncOnsideratc cutting
which takes all the stock in Il locality
or so damages the remaining stand
as to make it unprOductive or un-
slightly as reducing the stand in many
localities to such an extent as to make
it necessary to import supplies from
n distance.
Because Of the rapid depletion OF
Christmas green's, according to the
State forester, many people are be
ginning to cultivate such trees and in
some sections of the country where
these decorations are no longer album
dant profitable businesses are being
operated.
