million Christmas trees are now
Lung raised on Pennsylvania
firms and tree plantations, an in
crease of four million oi six per
cent over a year ago, the State De
parlment of Agiiciiltme said to
day
Results of a second annual
Christmas tree production survey
made this spring by the Pennsyl
tama Ciop Reporting service in
co-operation with the Agricultural
Marketing service of the United
States Deoartmcnt ot Agriculture
showed that plantings were great
ci than the combined sales and
losses during the year
Optimistic growers reported in
May that they intend to sell 64
pel cent more trees this year than
were soldi n 1957 Much ot the in
crease is expected to come from
growers who have not previously
sold trees These early intentions
are normally above actual sales
figures
Producers planted 12 3 million
trees in the spring of this year
or in the tall of 1957 This means
that about 18 new trees were
planted to every 100 trees on hand
