Common Sense on Xmas Trees In connection with the waste re- sulting from the annual cutting of small evergreens in the Christmas tree trade, as discussed in the January Forestry Journal, the sentimentally dressed but practical remarks of Bris- tow Adams are noteworthy. With reference to Canadian conditions it may be said that the loss caused in this way is but a small drop in the bucket compared with the annual preventable fire loss. Wasteful log- ging methods also account for a great- er loss than that due to Christmas tree cutting. In response to the Journal's call for further expression, the following might be suggested. It has been observed frequently that a large num- ber of trees reaching the Christmas market both in Canada and the United States, are black spruce. In- sofar as these trees were cut from bog lands the loss of future timber value is insignificant. Canada has many millions of acres of muskeg covered by black spruce that will never make anything else but Christmas trees. Such, in suitable form and size, are readily obtainable in unlimited num- bers. Large areas of muskeg are now contiguous to railroads. Being frozen at the time of the Christmas tree harvest, they are easily accessible. Far from the necessity of suppressing this trade, it might thus be developed into a profitable industry. The procedure is simple. Let for- est officers direct the cutting of Christ- mas trees. In general, let this be confined to the miiskeg. In some cases valuable young stands else- where might be t
