Permits Needed For Xmas Trees Commercial harvesters of Christmas trees must obtain permits before removing the young trees from the land, ac-1 cording to warning sounded by Nels Rogers, state forester Pre liminary cutting is now getting under way in several parts of the state. Favorite among Christmas tree shoppers appears to be the noble or silver tip fir with the Doug las fir running a close second. Because of the flatness and stur diness of the branches, many prefer the white fir. The forestry department will maintain a strict patrol to pre vent illegal cuttings and high grading of the young trees on privately-owned forest lands and state forests. State forestry laws require that permits must be obtained for all Christmas tree cutting or. privately-owned lands and an additional special permit is re quired ior those cutting trees from classified reforesta tion land. No sale of Christmas trees is scheduled for state forests ex cept those cut under forest su pension and weed tree removal, such as the white fir Christmas trees now being harvested from state forest lands In Klamath county. Nearly 600,000 Christmas trees were cut in the state last year. State Forester Rogers says. Approximately 200,000 of these found their way to markets out side the state. Application forms for obtain ing the necessary cutting per mits are available at all local forest headquarters throughout the state.

I Capital Journal, Salem, Ore., Wednesday, Nov. 17, 1948 15 Cherry Growers Warned Against Cut in Tariff Robert Shinn, manager of Willamette Cherry Growers, Inc., which handles the bulk of the cherries in this area, in statement Wednesday warned that the cherry crop is in danger from other than natural causes due to proposed tariff reductions, hearings on wnicn wiU gtart in Washington, the organized briners, shippers : ,,,,, ifnrn,ntiJ and will submit a brief to the tariff commission supporting the present tariff on brined cherries. Said Mr. Shinn: "The department of state on November fifth, announced its intention to enter Into trade agreement negotiations with Italy. Among the commodities listed for proposed tariff reduc tion are: "Cherries: sulphured or In brine, with pits, or with pits re moved. "Public hearings with respect to the proposed tariff reductions will begin on December 7th, in Washington, D.C., before the United States tariff commission, and the committee for reciproc ity information. "The Cherry Growers and In dustries Foundation, an organ ization made up of cherry brin ers, shippers and several thou sand cherry growers on the Pa cific coast, is preparing factual information and will submit brief to the tariff commission in support of the present tariff on brined cherries. "Prior to 1930, when the present tariff went into effect. Italy was supplying practically all of the brined cherries used in the United States. "Any reduction now, in the present tariff, will re.Milt in low price competition from Italian cherries and an inevitable low ering of market values on cher ries produced in the United States." The Willamette Cherry Grow ers have about 75 women work ing on pitting cherries at their Smith street plant and will keep at it up until late February. This year it was a fair sized crop but not up to the 6000-ton crop in 1946 when the plant kept its crew of women busy on the job way into late spring. Chinese Claim 'Continued from Page 1) The effectiveness of General Pai's troops in bolstering Su chow's defenses was undeter mined since at least two red col umns paralleled them across the countryside. Hankow reports said thous ands of workers there were dig ging trenches outside the city as additional defenses to commun iat raids. Qualified observers here hold the opinion the reds were re grouping for another assault in stead of being on the run. Most Chinese expressed doubt that the Suchow "victory" was as sweeping as pictured by the newspapers and government But it appeared that Chiang Kai-Shek's troops at least held their own in the first phases of the great Suchow battle in which more than 1,000.000 men assertedly were committed.
