LIBBY SHOWS 10 CAR
PER YEAR INCREASES

Montana shipped over 8 million
Christmas trees in 1913. This re
versed the downward trend of last
year when a 24-percent decrease to
2lz million trees occurred. The pro-
duction this year nearly equalled
the all-time peak of 1946 when 3.3
million trees were cut in the state
Production increased in nearly
every county in 1948. Lincoln and
Flathead counties supplies three
fourths of the trees cut this year, a
slightly smaller proportion than in
previous years. It may be signi-
ficant that neither of those two
counties equalled its 1916 harvest
records, whereas, Missoula, Ravalli,
Powell, and Granite counties all
surpassed the peak production of
two seasons ago.
