' the youngest certified tree
farmer in the United States,

; tree. With proper cutting, he
j said, the tree will not be de

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

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.
