But Forestry Service De plores Indiscriminate . Slaughter of Trees. WASHINGTON. Dec. 2G—Tho coun try’s forests again, havp been called upon to supply about four million Christmas trees, and again many per sons have asked themselves and have -queried the United States .forest ser vice “Is the custom a menace to the movement for format preservation?” iionr In th? million:* of happy homes over the country where the younger gen et at'on has made tho Christmas tree the center of play since early Fridnj morning, there are mmy mothers ami fathers who have given the question more or less thought. From Sunday schools and other organizations also, htch hold an annual celebration around a gayly trimmed evergreen for the benefit of the little ones, has cope iho question whether It is consistent to urge*coni*ervat:on of forest resources and then to cut millions of young trees every year to afford a little Joy In the pjsstiig holiday season. Custom Brings Joy. •'Yes. it is consistent and proper that the custom should ho maintain ed/* has been the answer of United States Forester Gifford P nchot every case. “Trees are for use, and there Is no other use to. which they could be put which would contribute so much to the Joy of man as their use by the children on this one great holi day of the year. “The immhrr octrees cut for this use each year Is utterly lnsiKidMeant when compared to tho consumption for other purposes for which timber is demanded. Not more than four million Chriscmak trees are used each year, one In every fourth family. If planted four feet apart they could be grown on lest than 1.600 acres.' This clearing of an area equnl to a good-sized farm each Christmas should not be a subject of much worry, when It is remembered that for lumber alone It is necessary to take timber from an area of more than 100,000 acres every day of the year.

I The proper remedy Is not to stop using itrees but to adopt wiser methods of use.j ”It Is generally realized that n certain proportion of land must always be usedl for forest growth,’Just as for other crops.] Christmas trees are one form of this crop. Thcro Is no more reason for an outcry against using land to grow Christ mas‘trees tilth) to grow flowers.” The forest service upholds tho Christ- liras treo custom, but recognizes at tho .same time that the Indiscriminate cut- itlng of evergreens to Supply the holiday trade has produced a bad effect upon many stands of merchantable kinds of [trees In different sections-of the country. Waste nndYleitructlon usually result when woodlands «re not under n proper system of forest management. Foresters say that It Is not by denying ourselves the wholesome pleasure of having a bit of nature In tho home at Christmas Hint the- problem of conserving the forests will be solved.- but by learning how to, use the forests wisely and properly, Tho rav ages through forest Arcs must be checked the many avenues of waste of timber In Its travel from the woods to the mill and thence to the market must be closed, and almost numberless important prob lems demand attention before the Christ mas tree.
