when compared with tbo los- of forest

methods of lumbering. Tho proper
romedy is not to stop using trees but

It is generally realized thus a certain
proportion of laud must always bo
used for forest growth, just as for
other crops. Christmas troes aro one
form of this crop. There is no more
roason for an outcry against using
land to grow Chri-tiiiiis trees than to
grow llowers.

estimates that the deficiency will bo
