Stanton During the holiday season considerable comment ap peared in various newspapers concerning the cutting of Christmas trees. Writers of letters to the editor complained of the "waste" of trees. Many retail dealers, thev said, had large number! of trees left and had to destroy them by burninir. Correspondents . felt that this waste should be avoided. The public concern expressed in many parts of the state is most gratifying, even though at least partly in error. But the fact that so many people felt it necessary to complain about the use of a commercial type of tree as a Christmas tree, and particularly about the waste of trees, through overcutting, is a healthy sign. People definitely are inter ested in conservation of trees, these letters prove, and be come anxious when they observe practices believed to be improper. Actually, few of the trees cut for Christmas had com mercial value, other than the value realized. Those burned were, for the most part, trees that didn't even qualify properlv for Christmas trees. Sale of Christmas trees has grown into a tremendous business. It is a business that gets larger year by year and is becoming an important segment of the timber industry.

Rackets Investigating Committee Thinking It Over By Robert L. Ditffenbacher, D.D. (Written for NE A Service) Patience is a jewel from the chantable value, or cut them improperly. But. as trees become more valuable, the independent tree cutter finds he is not as welcome on private lands as in earlier years. The Christmas tree business hasn't assumed as much importance in Douglas County as in manv other parts of the country. Particularly is this true as it affects the I'mpqua National Forest. Many of the national forests more heavilv cut over, such as those in Washington and the upper Wil lamette Valley, do a thriving business in Christmas trees. Thinning new forests removes competition for remaining trees. Thinning permits removal of those trees suitable for Christmas use but not of a quality to produce merchantable timber. Douglas County public domain forests have not yet reached the stage for commercial Christmas tree operations on a large scale. The Umpqua National Forest, however, Supervisor Von dis Miller reports, realized $5,172 from the sale of approxi mately 2,000 trees in the Diamond Lake district. These trees, Shasta firs, were sold at a price of 50 cents per linear foot or around $2.50 per tree. The Bureau of Land Management had no Christmas tree sales program in the county. Eventually, as more logged - off lands are ' planted. Christmas tree production definitely will be a part of the U.S. Forest Service program, Supervisor Miller reports. Planting Costs Recovered When logged-off areas are planted, Miller explained, it is planned to alternate Douglas fir seedlings with white, Shasta, Noble firs, or other varieties of trees preferred for Christmas use. Then, as thinning is needed, the Christmas family innima u-ill lo 17 atu i sun !., . 1 of the United Auto Workers Union.

It's the headline on the Jan. 2 issue of Random Lengths, the lum ber market analysis published in Eugene. It reads "Goodby, 1957 and Good Riddance." Bill Dean, the au'hor, deserves journalism's brand-new (we just thought of it) Oscar for un mealy mouthed writing. And a lo.v - ranking bottom scraping, bankruptcy - inviting, lousy year it was in the lumber ( business of Oregon. Sj Dean can be excused for skipping the usual Chamber of Commerce-type silver i lining which is a faditibnal part j of almost all year-end reports. I He does, however, end w;th what I the mealy-mouths m.ght call "qual ified optimism." Nc 1958. he con cludes, just can't be as bad as 1957. So buy a new sc of calks, you lumbermen, and be happy.
