For the first time, Christmas trees can be harvested and sold this year on the basis of federally standardized grades. This offers possibilities for better returns to growers for good quality trees, says Gary Sander, Oregon State college forest products market ing specialist. Grading will be voluntary and inspection service will be provid ed for a moderate fee by the de partment of agriculture at all ma jor shipping points and terminal markets.A big advantage for the grading system is that producers can now sell trees "sight unseen" but graded to distant markets. Such a system offers protection to both the producer and dealer, Sander explains. urowers can now select trees that will bring better prices and leave the others for later harvest for the Christmas trade or other purposes. Standards were developed by the USDA service at the request of the National Christmas Tree the houses also outside and in side trees are decorated with lights.
