Seedling Christmas Tree Drive Promises Substantial Local Income
Local landowners expect about 200000 seedling trees to mature into Christmas trees in 1963 generating roughly 200000 dollars in income. Forestry officials report 358000 seedlings allotted to District 4, with orders still accepted until February 1. Forester E A Thomas cites end of free-tree policy and rising profits as key factors, noting 600 trees sold locally this year and plans to start earlier next year to reach larger buyers. Plans for a woodland equipment show near Beckley and possible state-fund support for oak wilt and white pine blister rust were discussed, along with proposals to establish woodland camps for delinquent youth.
