PAGETHY ___________ Growing and Marketing Yale Trees lai Durham County Big Business Scotch Pie Trees Most Serviceable (A. 13. Wheatley, District Forester.) The annual harvest of Christ- mnas trees is naw in full swing. This demand is increasingly be- ing supplied by means of trees that were planted for this pur- pose. Scotch pine popularity and profereace indicates that the market will be supplied with this spocies ta an ever increasing extent. The sandy ridge which ex- tends across the County of Dur- ham and Northumberland in an east and west line, a mile or two north o! Pontypool ta an east and west Une almost as far south as Kirby now supplies quantities of trees measuned upwands ta a hundred thousands or more per year. Many of these trees are covered by export per- mits and reach such Amenican citios as Buffalo, Cleveland, De- trait, etc. In addition, many trees will reach Toronto andý othen local markets. Thé orderly growing and mar- keting of Christmas trees is one which provides a sizeable in- came from otherwise idie land. It nequires fnom five ta eight years ta grow satisfactory stock, and an acre of land may pro- duce upward ta 1200 trees, un- der favourable conditions. A cultured product usually produces a more desirable form o! trees. This enterprise will tend ta decrease the cutting of naturally grown trees an the roughor and more difficult lands found i the north: such areas are more difficult ta plant. It therefore may be expected that the raugh forest lands further narth, where ne-establishment of farest caver is mare difficult, wlll be called upan ta supply a decreasîng number of trees for the Christmas tree trade. Scotch pîne trees, when eut as early as November lst, will maintain good appearance and hold their leaves thraugh the Christmas seasan. Spruce and Balsam will shed their leavos after a n-uch shorter period once they are placed in the warmth of a living room; when these are cut too early - say more than two ta three weeks befone Christmas-the tmee usually has shed most of its leaves on the living room floor by the time it has been nelieved of its "Igifts.") It is almost impossible ta identify a tree with its-stump once it has been hauled away ta market. Too frequently in- responsible persans have, under caver of darkness, cut trees withaut authority from planta- tions or woodlot, even decora- tive trees from around build- ings. It is wise ta be alert ta this possibility. I have discovered the philosa- phem's stone, that turns every- thing into gold: it is "Pay as you go."-John Randolph._ The Dilemma of One 0f The Statesman': Rural Correspondents Yelverton: As it fell to my lot te have W.A. last Thursday, bright and early Monday morn- ing. I began a frantic house- cleaning. Now as most of yau know, you can travel around our house in a fairly circuitous route from dining-room to liv- ing-room to bedroom, to bath, to kitchen and back ta the dia- ing-room again. Working on this lay-out, I have developed a very expedient method of house-cleaning. Be- ginning in the dining-room Il simply shove the hundred and one things I don't know quite what to do with at the moment inta the next room. By Thurs- day morning, with a satisfied glow and a sigh of relief, I fin- ished in the kitchen. I thought I had finished-that is-until I looked into the din- ing-rooni! The hundred and one things I had been shoving ahead of me had become a thousand and one (more or less)! What to do? Start around the second time? Oh, no! Thanks ta a capacious linon closet I have also solved thîs house-cleaning dilemma. Unfortunately I've neyer been able ta figure out just what ta do about the linen closet. Obviously, it was a man who built the house; any wom- an would have known enough ta put the overflow in the linen closet instead of the cistern!
