30 Million Christmas Trees Decorate Homes In 1955
WASHINGTON—(U.P.)—Some 30 million Christmas trees with an estimated retail value of $50 million, will be displayed in American homes this year, according to the Department of Agriculture.
Most of these are produced in states along the Canadian border Montana, one of the leading producers, harvests approximately 3 million trees annually under normal conditions.
More than 9 million trees are imported each year from Canada, the only significant outside source. In past years, small numbers have been brought in from Newfoundland, Labrador and the Dominican Republic.
Eighty-seven per cent of U. S. production, estimated at 21,500,000 trees, comes from private land. The remainder is cut from federal, state and county property.
While the bulk of the nation's Christmas trees grow in a natural state, about 1,500,000 are cultivated on plantations. About 100,000 acres, nearly half of which are in Pennsylvania, are now devoted to Christmas tree planting.
About a dozen companies are responsible for production and distribution of Christmas trees. Their representatives contract with woodland owners for tree delivery at roadside or railroad siding.
State C Of C Predicts Possible Tax Cut
TOPEKA—(U.P.)—An election year tax cut is advisable only if the federal budget is balanced, the Kansas Chamber of Commerce federal taxation and finance council concluded yesterday.
Chairman A. J. Sutcliffe of Russell said prospects indicate a small surplus of revenue over spending in fiscal 1957, and that "if this outlook is correct some tax reduction may be warranted."
After shipment to urban areas, the trees are forwarded by wholesalers to the various retail outlets, an enterprise similar to that for distribution of other semi-perishable commodities.
Cornborer infestations in North Dakota in 1955 reached the highest point yet recorded in the main corn areas of the state and the infestation is a threat for 1856.
