FARM FOREST FACTS m BY BOB BRADLEY COUNTY EXTENSION rOKESTCM OKOOfi STATE UNIVERSITY An interesting account of the Christmas tree farm of W. W. "Dambach in the "Cynagrams" magazine tells how this individ ual turned unproductive land into a "goldmine". Although his farm is in Pennsylvania, many of his activities could apply here. "As a . field of agriculture, growing evergreens for Christ mas trees is a very young in dustry. Modern production be gan in the Twentieth Century and has yet to reach its full stride. The depletion of open spaces and the protection . of forests have created a need for plantation - grown trees. The market today is tremendous and planted trees, properly sheared for shape and beauty, are . rapidly replacing the de mand for lower quality wild trees. Climate Ideal One of the first agriculture areas to go into the production of Christmas trees in a big way was western Pennsylvania. Here the climate is ideal for growing evergreens, and much of the land has been strip-mined mak ing- it useless for most other agricultural endeavor. Today, many thousands of acres of formerly unslightly land have been restored to beautiful count' ry side and productivity because of Christmas tree farming. A pioneer among Christmas tree farmers is W. W. Dam bach, who has been growing evergreens commercially for over 32 years. He started grow ing' trees as a 'small boy just beeause he liked evergreens, and sold his first Christmas trees (about 200 to a large gro cery store) when he was only 17. A visitor to the Dambach 350 acre tree farm in Beaver Court ty,;30 miles north of Pittsburgh, sees a vast 'panorama of neat rows of more than 600,000 trees in jrarious stages of growth. The farm is called Lake Forest Gar- ens' and is located near Fomdell. Tonight "SPENCER'S MOUNTAIN" Henry Fonda Maureen O' Hard NOW! Open 7:00 .. Show 7:15 only . Winner of 10 Academy Awards! REGULAR PRICES S3 inn mmm as SHIS TECHNICOLOR Coming Next: I . v ' JrfiaFW ' MOM The land's level and rolling terrain is planted mostly to sev eral different strains of Scotch pine and spruce. An average spacing is four to five feet for the spruce and five to six feet for the pines. As many as 1,500 pines can be planted and har vested from an acre with this spacing, and 2,500 spruce. Dam bach says it takes from seven tc ten years to produce a market able Christmas tree from a seedling. Shearing, or prunning, is prac ticed on all varieties from the third or fourth year until they are harvested as finished Christ mas trees. This helps develop a premium tree which is dense, heavy and bushy. 'Because they are well shaped, have a richer green or blue color, and retain their needles longer, plantation trees command high prices states Dambach. lhousands of seedlings arc carefully nurtured in beds under slats for from two to three years before they are planted in open fields. They are protected from insect damage with malathion and other insecticides. Even with the greatest of care, about 40 per cent of the seedlings are culled before field planting as deformed or otherwise undesir able stock. Dambach says that watering is very important, and the seedlings under the slats are watered once a week in dry weather. Field-grown trees are also irrigated in extreme dry periods. Mowing Done Mowing between the tiny trees after they are planted begins early and continues until they are ready for market. Most o( the trees are sold within a hun dred mile radius of the Dam bach farm. In addition to Christ mas trees, Dambach raises be tween fifteen and twenty varities of trees classed as shrubs. These are sold to small nurseries in the immediate area. The first artificial coloring of Christmas trees in Pennsly vania was started by Dambach in 1958. This is now a common practice among growers when the trees lose their color. Mr, Dambach has always been ac tive in his chosen profession, He has served as past president of the Pennsylvania Christmas Tree Growers Association and has been a trustee of the Nation al association. Nitrogen Makes Difference Lately, Christmas tree grow ers have been turning to the use of fertilizer to help produce better trees. Competition is in' creasing and the better growers, such as Dambach, are finding that the proper application of nitrogen can help them meet the increasing demands for high er quality trees. Greatest response to nitrogen can be seen on the slower grow ing Norway spruce, Douglas fir, Balasm fir and the Concolor fir. An application of 12-4-0 ratio of fertilizer worked into the soil at planting time at six hundred pounds to the acre guarantees immediate response from the young seedlings. At the third year of field growth, one hun dred fifty to two hundred pounds of actual nitrogen per acre in the form of ammonium nitrate or urea will give additional growth and color to the trees, It pays to repeat this application each year until the Christmas trees are harvested. with a continuous program of fertilization the maturity date of the trees can be shortened by one or two years. Better growth richer color, and longer needles that don't drop off are also bene fits received from applying fer tilizer to Christmas trees. As Mr. W. W. Dambach puts it. 'Nitrogen is the difference be twecn night and day in growing Christmas trees, particularly on poor, land." Free Sympathy Goes to East By OSWALD MCOBY (Written For NEA) The late Louis Watson once conceived the idea of making a fortune by offering to listen to any bridge story for one dol lar and to give sympathy if given a double fee. I was reminded of that when West came to me with his hard luck story. He started by tell ing me his band and asking, 'Everyone vulnerable. Your partner opens one spade. Sec ond hand bids two hearts. What do you do?" Before I could reply he gave me all Uw bidding up to nis double of seven hearts and said, Naturally. I led my deuce of clubs. South's ace pickled my partner's king. South drew trumps, finessed against my partner's jack of clubs and made his contract, uo you minx NORTH QS 7KQ86 . 4 10 9 7 6 5 4 IS EAST (D) A.AJ87652 None AQ8 KJ3 , SOUTH at None V A1097S43 J 10 2 AQ8 Both vulnerable South West North 2 2 3 5 5 6 7 Pouble Pass Pass WEST VK10 9 4 V J2 K97653 2 East 1 4 A 6 A Pass Opening lead! 2 My full sympathy goes out to poor East and I am sure even Watson would have failed to charee for sympathy had East come to him for condo lences. East picked up a beautiful hand and bid right up to six spades. He would have had no trouble making it. but South went to seven hearts where upon West doubled and picked out the one opening lead that that gave South the contract. Of course, had West made his normal spade lead, South might still have guessed the cluD sit uation, but the chances are that he would have taken a simple finesse and gone down two tricks. East and West still would not have been happy, but at least they would have shown a profit rather than a 2,470-point loss. v I am the unluckiest player the world?" He paused for breath and made a reply that probably made me a mortal enemy. The reply was, "No. But your part ner may well be.
