North Carolina Garden Time
By M. E. GARDNER
N. C. Stat* University
What do you look for when
selecting a Christmas tree?
Which species do you like
best? Do you prefer a North
Carolina grown tree or an in);
ported one?
First, what do you look for
when selecting a tree Perhaps
the first thing you should look
for is freshness. Many trees are
cut too soon and transported
long distances to market. Fre
quently the leaves have dried
out and are shedding before
you buy it. Such handling low
ers both the quality and color
of the plant. Fragrance is also
reduced.
Which species do you like
best? The Red Cedar has been
a favorite for many, many
years and still is. It can be
grown from the Coastal Plains
through the Piedmont. Due to
the natural compact habit of
growth, it requires little or no
shearing. The fragrance is ex
cellent. It should be used fresh
as it has a tendency to dry out
quickly after cutting—probably
best adapted for local retail
sales.
Other species adapted to N.
C. are: Fraser Fir, White Pine,
Scotch Pine, and Norway
Spruce. Of these species, Fra
ser Fir and White Pine are,
recently, the most important
for commercial production in
the mountains of Western Car
olina.
Fraser Fir has good color
pleasing fragrance, strong
branches and excellent needle
holding ability. It likes the cool
environment provided by the
higher elevations and prefers
a moist soil.
White Pine is a rapid grow
er, has good shape, and flexi
ble branches. It requires prop
er shearing to produce a com
pact tree. The color is good
and the popularity of this spe
cies is on the increase.
As I reported to you earlier,
the growing of Christmas trees
in North Carolina has develop

prise, backed by a lively Christ

the industry is small, in com
parison, it has an excellent po
tential and will grow as our
people support it.
According to L. A. Hampton,
forest management extension
specialist approximately one
million trees are used in North
Carolina homes each year, with
80 per cent of this number im

producing areas.
So you can see the oppor

to brighten the Yule season for
you and yours.

SATURDAY, DEC. 4, 1965 THE CAROLINA TIMES—
imously by the Executive Com
mittee of the United Presbyte
rian Commission on Religion
and Race, in a meeting here.
A number of Negro teachers
in Wilcox County have been
discharged or have not receiv
ed contracts for the current
school term.
Wilcox County officials have
not signed federal agreements
to desegregate public schools.
The committee motion included
the possibility of the church's

bring about the desegregation.
Specifies as to ways the dual
request can best be met are
to be worked out in consult*
tlon with attorneys.
The executive group also ap
proved the appropriation of
$38,000 for religion and race
work across the nation. In
cluded in the appropriation
are funds for projects In San
