tfi lnu w1MWTECMDA TTSA.BWAVLL.OrRbT61DY E.lt.1 - 1 (By Nick Nicâls i The Peterborough Examiner) Durham County's bisecting strip ai badlands is flot such a damning feature, sfter ail. Through man's ingenuity, hard work and far-sightedness the f ive- mile Pine Ridge is now producing dollars in tobacco and dollars fram reforestation thlnnlngs. Thinnlngs ta Durhamitcs are Christmas trees ta the rest of us. At the present tume is is big bus- iness. This big business started &bout seven years ago. Listen ta its devclopmnent from tWo ai Santa's iight-hand help- ers, John and Bill Armstrong, veteran mercliants af Orona. As early as mid-summer the Armstrong brothers are pestered at theif- general store on the vil- lage's single business street. TheN are pestered by Americans-wha are not askîng for tbe location af a dozen af the caunty's chaice traut strcams-but for future ship- ments of Christmas trees, in lots of 1,000, more aiten 10,000 and in carload lots. Complaints Drawled a b'uyer from Savan- ah, Gm., last surnmer: "Ah've a complaint ta make, Sub. Y'all must stop puttin' yore tags on trees this yemm. Do you thinlc Ah want every buyer ini Dixie knowin' where Ah get my choice Scotch pines?" % This true story indicates the present demand of the large Arn- enican çonsumer market for Dur- ham's Christmas trees. They de- mand them now because it is the only type of evergreen that doe5 flot shed its needles or turn yel- low while standing from two ta three weeks in modemn super- heated homes. Before their keeping qualities were proven American custom- ers looked on thema with suspicion because the market had been flooded for years with spruce and balsama from New England and Upper Michigan. Now they de- mand the Durham product in such quantities that the Arm- strong brothers, and several oth- er smal]er aperatars. cannot be- gin ta f111 cxport orders. In 1946 the Christmas tree kings secured 100,000 Scotch pine seedlings fram the Department of Lands and Forests Nursery rit Orona. They planted them, by hand, in a l00-adM abandoned farm. And each year since.tbey have acquired more waste land and more seedlings until their prdsent holdings total 800 acres- 500 of them are planted-and balf a million Scotch pine under cul- Ever Noticed how many of the good things you buy are packaged ia alummium?

Reforestation These people are not in the Christmas tree business as a sole crop abject. Their interef t is in reforestation. Forty years front naw, they say, their grandchild- ren wiil harvest lumber and in 60 years their descendants wi.l take off stili larger trees. The Clîristmas tree sizes, six-footers, that are being taken out now to make room for mature growth, are thinnings. By this week, as the cutting season ends, the Armstrongs will have shipped 45,000 trees. Of these 16 carloads were loaded at the Pontypool siding for a dealer in Cincinnati and the balance are shipped out of the young forests by tractor trailers ta New York State, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indi- ana and south af the Mason-Dixon lime. Aiter passing thraugh as many as six jobber outiets before reach- ing the American corner-lot buy- em, these trees seli from $8 ta $10. And people are clamaring ta pay that amount for them. Selis lIn District Elgin Budd ai Simcoe, former transport company awner now turned dairy farmer, harvests from 200 acres. His distribution method differs from the Arm- strangs in that he ships al bis tbinnings ta bis home for stock piling. He then goes ta Detroit and, by keeping bis.finger on the jobber market, controls the truck- load flow fram bis home ta var- iaus outiets in the automobile City. Wbenever anc lingers in the villages ai Orono or Pontypoal be hears conversation about the Christmas tree barvcst, on street corners, ini coffee and barber shops. Burly men stand in the~ clearings, lcaning on pitcbforks, as large transports roar away with top-heavy loads whilc empty trucks wait their turns ta be loaded. Plantation thinnings, Christmas trees-are bigbusiness in Dur- ham County. A cool green million will be shipped fram there ta the United States this scason. This does nat mean that a cool green million dollars ai profit will be madc irom them, howevem. Bring High Prices There is the original purchase ai wastc land that has sky-rocket- cd ta high prices irom the de- mand ai land-bungmy tobacco farmers. TJ-ere is the cost ai hand planting, harvesting, load- ing and trucking when the iirst crop is taken off rit the end ai five years. Disease, f ire or draugbt may wipe out the venture at any time. Sa far, the business bas pros- pered beyond li expectations. The thinnings barvesters ai Durham migbt say a prayer at Christmas time for the Englisb monk, St. Boniface, wha started the symbolism ai Christmas trees in the first place, more than 1,200 years ago.
