The words of Danton, one of the greatest leaders in the’ French di in B.C, and one whose ‘erally it d, is the C! to the pi 's is not gen- tree industry. Although Christmas trees were cut for market in B.C. as early as 1920, the industry had not reached any considerable size till this that it is now big business, Yet it is a big business carried on mainly by past decade. In the last 10 years, however, it has mushroomed so I revolutions futile, utterly and completely and statements by a Spanish Loyalist writer express my general feelings on the Sub- ject quite aptly. “I had no idea what thé vio- lence and cruelty of mobs ‘could be.

It is also particularly attractive to darmers and other starting just as winter puts_a halt . it is off. work — tc most other outdoor occupations. Last year, over 1,700,000 Chrismas trees were cut and shipped irom British Columbia. Indications are the total will top 2 million ths year. Over 1,500, 000 of last year’s trees’ were harvested in the Kam- Joops and Nelson districts alone with 1,395,049 trees being exported to markets in the United States. These trees were valued at $762,- 900. Thus, over the last three years, this up-and-coming industry has rontributed almost $2,500,000 to the Provincial economy in three annual periods of six to eight weeks. The large increase in B.C.’s annual Christmas tree cut is largely due to an increasing demand for Christmas trees in the United States and the fact that our Douglas fir and our climate are very suitable i the growing and early cutting of trees for distant mar- kets. The U.S. is buying more trees from us each year because good- quality trees are becoming harder to find in sufficient quantities to fill their own demands, Nature ‘cannot replace the trees as fast tree has been suppled the first crop and Nature man is reaping the harvest and in the United States. In B.C., we are still using our first crop but the day is fact coming when tree farming will be necessary, if we are to cope with the increasing demand. The market is becoming more competitive and the trend is to more rigid grading and specifications, This means not only that quality will bring better prices but that the farmer who has been’ high-grading his crop for years without much thought of management, will find it more difficult to sell his product. Jt requires 10 to 20 years or mcre ig and good ae grow a Christmas tree.
