is pruned in the winter and early
spring before the buds start to
open.
Pines, on the other hand, must
be pruned in late June and early
July.
Pruning is what makes the dif
ference between a well shaped,
full thick tree and an uneven
open tree. If the tree is allowed
to grow, for even one year, with
out pruning, it will tend to be
open and thin.
The value of this type tree is
low, and in times of extreme com
petition, may find sale only as
boughs.
Marketing the trees is also a
big factor to be considered. The
U.S. Department of Agriculture
recommends that the prospective
grower locate his future market
well in advance.
Competition in the market is
keen now and with the expected
influx of Soil Bank growers, it
will become keener.
The annual consumption of
trees in Pennsylvania is estimated
at three million annually, includ
ing Canadian trees. The Pennsyl
vania State University, in a sur

Planning Tour
Of Australia
Harold Thieman, Polled Short
10m breeder of HiggxnsvJ.le, Mo.,
will lead an all-breed tour of
urebred cattle producers to the
Sydney Royal Show m Australia
n April, continuing around the
world.
Thieipan has been selected by
he board of the Sydney Royal!
Show to judge Shorthorn cattle
entered in the famed Easter
week event He will be accom
panied on the tour by Mrs. Thie
nan. The tour, open to all breed
ers of purebred cattle, is being
arranged by the American Star
planted.
To overcome the overproduc
tion problem, the Pennsylvania
Christmas Tree Growers’ Assn,
has proposed that a uniform grad
ing system be established, a co
operative marketing system based
on the grades be established and
that additional research be done
on stock, culture and pest con
trols.
Christmas trees can be a part
of the farm cash crop, but the
farmer must realize that they are
a crop that requires extensive
care.
As one commercial grower, a
professional forester, said,
“Christmas trees are more like
an orchard than a forest.”
