Christmas Tre€ Poachers Will Face Arrest

I t'These safeguards," states Regional Forester S. B. Show of the U. S. Forest Service, "will provide maximum protection to private land owners who may have a valuable investment in standing trees. Likewise, public forest areas will be adequately guarded against poaching and trespass.

San Francisco, filovember l4.-Nearly six weeks until Christmas and thf annual harvest of Yule trees already is under way in many forested areas in California.

While tree cutters are busy with ax and saw, wholesalers who deal in Chfistmas trees are regeiving shipments for storage in anticfpation of the mid-December rush.

According td forest rangers, Christmas tree poachers have caused considerable damage to forest tracts during recent years. But such trespassing now is being met forcefully by Section 384a of the California Penal Code which requires that all Christmas tree dealers in this State must have notarized permits to possess or transport trees, and Section 135 of the Vehicle Code authorizes State Highway officials to investigate shipments of trees to determine legal possession.

State and Federal officers will closely supervise all phases of the Christmas tree trade in California. Shipments of trees from Oregon woods also will be checked for credentials at California ports of entry.

"When a purchaser invests in a fir tree for the home this Christmas he can be reasonably sure that it's an 'honest, tree, not one that has been bootlegged."

The Forest Service reported a commercial harvest of 50,0@ Christmas trees on national forest lands of California last year. In addition to thinning thick stands of young fir trees, the sales to operators brought $12,640 to the U. S. Treasury.

Twenty-five per cent of this money will be funded to counties for local schools and roads.
