With proper cutting, he j said, the tree will not be de I stroyed but can be used for re- growth. Thinning Woodlot Thinning a woodlot to insure marketable products was dem onstrated by several Future Farmers of America from Illi nois Valley High school. I Loyd Burnett discussed the I fundamentals of tree growth, ! and explained how to slow down I terminal height by pruning to j make the tree bushy. He cau tioned growers not to mix ' tree farming with larger logging shows on the same woodlot. j Control of hardwood and pre suppression of fire by the use l of fire breaks, road systems and fclean cutting methods was also discussed by Burnett, who said the danger of fire damage on Christmas tree farm was far greater in proportion than in larger logging operations. Even a light ground fire will kill small trees, he added. The Southern Oregon Christ was Tree association was organ ized with the help of the Illi nois Valley Chamber of Com merce to improve the quality of local Christmas trees, and to find good markets for them. Christmas Seals Are Being Mailed I Christmas seals are being I mailed to homes in Jackson County this week, according to Mrs. M. O. Grove. Jackson County chairman of the seal sale for 1956. Because this year is the 50th anniversary of the first seal sale, efforts are being made to maintain the traditional form of providing for the more unfor tunate at Christmas, she said. Mrs. Grove pointed out that, because of rising costs, includ ing medical care, the tuberculo sis prevention program is more important than previously, and she expressed hope that efforts will be made to contribute as much as possible for the pro gram. The seal sale, which is the sole financial support of the Jackson County Health associa tion, sponsors several tubercu losis prevention programs, in cluding the public health educa tion program. Each case of tu berculosis costs the community approximately S15.000, Mrs. Grove noted, and prevention of one case of tuberculosis saves the county in one year more than one-third again as much as is collected through the yearly seal sale. Mrs. Bayard Getchell is co chairman in Jackson County and Mrs. Frank Tamney is the chairman of the drive in Medford.
