Eastern Shore Expects
S5OO,OOO Holly Harvest
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
SALISBURY, Md, Dec. ia
policy of carefully harvesting holly
as an annual crop is paying off on
the Eastern Shore this year, as the
area now tops the Nation in pro-
duction of the holiday speciality.
Nelson H. Fritz, forester at-large,
said the Shores holly harvest was
expected to gross 100000 this sea-
son.
Dealers from as far south as
Miami and as far west as Mime
apolis have placed orders for Ger
titled" Eastern Shore holly. All
orders are received and handled by
the State Forestry Department.
Consignments to dealers from the
Shore have increased this year, with
other States on the Eastern Sea-
board reporting poor seasons.
In 1884, the forestry department
adopted a plan of instruction in
the proper cutting of trees to make
holly an annual crop. instead of
destroying the bush with one cut
ting.
The department markets the
properly cut holly, paying farmers
$6 crate. instead of the former
SO cents to S150 they had received
from dealers, who stripped and
ruined the bushes.
