Christmas Tree Tips
j
A few tips on the selection
of a Christmas tree, caung for
it and disposing of it when the
holidays aie over were issued
by State Forester Samuel S.
Cobb, Department of Forests'
and Waters, on the “eve” of
another yuletide season.
“First of all,” said Cobb, “the
purchaser wants a fresh tiee,
one which will stay fresh'and
green throughout the season.
There are three ways of cleter
ming this factor The tree is
fresh if you can bend a needle
and its resilient, if you can
bump the base of the tree hard
on the giound and the needles
do not fall off, and if the bot
tom of the stump feels sappy
moist ”
“Before putting the tree in
its stand at home,” added Cobb,
“cut an inch 01 two off the base
of the tiunk This will allow it
to lake up water more easily Be
sure to add a pint or quait of
water each day to the stand,
keeping the water level above
the bottom of the tiunk ”
“For safety s sake,” said the
State Forester, “never decoiate
the tiee with cotton, paper or
other materials that burn easily.
Avoid wax candles, check lights
and wiring foi worn spots and
cracks, do not overload electric
circuits, and its also wise to
spray the tiee with a fileproof
ing matenal made up of a com
bination of two gallons of sodi
um silicate (water glass) and a
gallon of water, to which has
been added six teaspoons of
liquid soap. The latter is used
as an adherent.”
“A dry tree is a fire hazard,
and as such should be disposed'
of properly, never burn it in’ a’
fire place,” concluded Cobb.
“Remove the tree to the out-of
doors for the trash collector or,
as is tradition in some areas,
have it picked up for Twelfth
Night programs whei e trees are
burned during appropriate ser
vices under the supervision of
the local fire companies.
