REAL CHRISTMAS TREES RARE. Plenty of Pines in Connecticut and Hemlocks and Cedars Are Used. Christmas trees are coming to be a rare shrub in Connecticut. To be sure, we have plenty of pines, which make a very pretty Christman tree, but - on account of the quantity of pitch in them they catch fire so easily that they are too dangerous for gen- eral use, and then, again, the ex- tremities will not hold the decorative candles, Hemlock is still used to some | extent. One Christmas tree man, who has been in the business for years, says he |carries almost entirely spruce and balsam trees. He Is getting his supply this year from New Hampshire, though ‘lt is obtainable from Peru and Hins- dale in the hills ow western Massachu- | getts. There are some spruce trees in Tolland county, but they have been found to be too brown to make ready isales for Christmas decorations. Cedars, with the blue berries, are a handsome tree, but they fall under the objection that the twige are too |small to hold candles. Running pine |is plentiful in Connecticut for Christ- hnas decoratlon, but what is called {standing pine is getting scarce, al- | though a present supply is to be had Christ- |mas trees used to be gaghered from inear the old reservoir in Glastonbury, | but the industry has run out. Obtaining Cbristmas trees from New Ham]Nlure‘ Vermont or Massachusetts is no simple task. They are cut, of ‘(our:r- on private property, and one has to pay for the privilege, and be- sides this must get a permit to cut. The agricultural department at Wash- ington quarantines all sections where |the tree moth appears, and the rail- roads are forbidden to transport hristmas trees from quarantined sec- tions. | Inspections are made frequently of ;shipmpnu of Christmas trees, and one {has to have a permit from a Beacon street office in Boston to get the trees transported - through Massachusetts. The supply of spruce is abundant in the states north of us, and as a crop grows every eight years from a cut- ting, Christmas trees in New England will be pretty general for many years to come.

The photo- plays are discriminately chosen. I $400,000 from Red Cross Seals.

Norwich has nine rural routes (be- ing the largest rural center in state) and this reflects great Postmaster Willlam Caruthers, this large rural population will, quite; generally, fits therefrom.
