PAGE SIX Christmas Tree Market Is Good This Sideline Has Been Changed Into Paving Proposition For Many Farm Owners The season of the glittering Christmas tree will soon be with us aga'n. Not only is the supplying of Christmas trees to the families of the United States a large business. hut with good management it should be a permanent source of income to forest dwellers, savs the U. S. Forest Products Laboratory. Madison, Wis. Christmas trees are. in the ria:n. forest seedlings that come from nearly eve-v part of the United States. Their removal in prepr- number need not cause any shortage of growing stock. Jn manv cases the young stand is actually so dense as to call for (hinn'ng in order to assure satisfactory growth to timber, the Forest Products Laboratory po'nts out. The planting and p row'ng of trees especially for the Christmas-tree market is also Practiced. In northern New England a large part cf the trees ore from those that have sprung up in pastures. It is est!mated that 10 million Christmas tree." rre sold annually in the United P.tates. At an average price of 10 cents each to the producer, their contribution to rural income may be reckoned at one million dollars. A vast and undetermined volume of decorative foliage and boughs also moves to the Christmas market. Sprigs cf evergreens from nearly all parts of the country, magnolia and mistletoe from the South, holly and mountainlaurel from the East. Christnias1 errv. Ore-Ton hollygrape, and ealal frcni the West Coast?all go to make up a veritable flood of rreencry at hofdav tme. All these products of the forest not only add their dccorat'cn and cheerfulness to the holiday ftearon but add mnsidc-ably to the financial condition of the thousands of people who spend their time in the woods collecting them. Shallotte Boy Contest Winner Cam Fletcher. the 8-year-nid ran of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Joe Frinl: of Shallotte. won first prize in the guitar playing contest at a recent fiddlers' convention held in Shallotte school building. Victory for the little fellow is rven more remarkable when it is considered that he was competing ivith grown-ups. He has never taken a music lesson, according to his mother, but has picked up his knowledge of music from listEl ing to the radio. Plan to do your Chr: plan to do it at your favc CGME IN AND BT G. W.
