CHRISTMAS TREE HARVEST LARGEST Salem, Ore., Dec. 13 (U.PJ The Christmas tree harvest In the Pacific Northwest this year is expected by state forestry of ficials to be the greatest in his tory. Oregon'! estimated output un doubtedly will exceed the 1940 crop of 400,000 but it is not ex pected to be more than either Washington state or British Col umbia, both of which estimate more than 2,000,000 trees will be cut in their respective for ests. Some foresters believe that the reason for Oregon's com paratively small Christmas tree yield is the result of laws, de signed to protect the state, pri vate companies, farmers and other land owners.

The first step for a prospec tive tree cutter is to secure cut ting rights from land owners. He then must ascertain by look ing at tax rolls or by asking the state forester, whether the land on which he is going to harvest the traditional Yuletide tree is classified under the forest fee and yield tax law. If it is so classified, a permit must be se cured and the permit must show the unit value of the trees he is planning to cut. The unit value is determined by tlv- size of the tree. If it is under six feet, a sliding scale places the value at five cents. If the tree is from six to 10 feet tall, it is valued at 10 cents. Trees 10 to 20 feet in height are valued at 20 cents, and trees over 20 feet are valued at three cents per lineal foot. Tax Collected The tax collector gets 12Vi percent of the value. After a permit is obtained, the harvester must secure a license from the State Department of Agriculture, as he is now classed as a nurseryman. Then the way trees are shipped comes under the scru tiny of the law. If the trees are to be hauled by private convey ance, the shipper must comply! with all state laws which in elude the public utilities license, liability insurance and other payments in connection with the transportation of freight on state highways. Transportation com panies generally take care of transportation details when the trees are shipped on common carriers but the fees are still there.
