Christmas trees are now being
quality-graded just as meat, eggs
and other commodities.
These grades start with U. S.
Premium and follow in descend
ing order by U. S. Choice and U.
S. Standard. This system was
initiated by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture. Growers are
urged to tag each tree with its
grade and height, as well as the
name of the tree and the name
and address of the producer.
Buying The Tree
If your Christmas tree dealer
does not have the quality-graded
trees, follow these suggestions on
buying and using your tree.
The best-looking trees will be
sold early, so do your tree shop
ping well ahead of Christmas Eve.
It is important to select as
fresh a tree as possible. The har
vest season for these trees starts
in October. To determine if a
tree is relatively fresh check the
needles to see if they are resili
ent, not brittle when you bend
them. Few needles should fall off
when you bump the base of the
trunk on the ground. The stump
itself should be sticky with sap.
At home, keep the tree outside
or in a cool, shady spot inside
until the time comes to trim it.
Saw a diagonal slice off the
butt. Stand the tree in a pot
of water and add water every
day.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Suggs of
Americus were dinner guests
Sunday of Mr. and MYs. John B.

PEWTER SHINE
Pewter serving dishes and
pitchers are becoming increa.--
ingly popular in Georgia homes,
according to home economists
with the Cooperative Extension
Service. Modern pewter needs a
gentle cleansing with soap or de
tergent suds, a good rinsing and
a soft rubbing with an old cloth
to keep it polished.
