Swede Cos NOV'79 HAPPY HOLIDAY TASK: This family is having the fun of picking out a Christmas tree at a 'choose and cut' Christmas tree farm. Farms are located in every state in the U.S., according to the National Christmas Tree Growers Association. t A Tradition is Reborn: Cutting the Yule Tree In earlier times, it was a tradition to begin the holiday season with a family trip to the forest, where a young spruce or fir was selected to serve as the centerpiece for Christmas activities at home. But, as the population shifted toward cities and suburbs, Christmas trees became a commercial pro- duct, harvested and trans- ported for sale at neighbor- hood tree lots. Now, there is good news for those who wish to select their own fresh yuletide tree. "Choose and cut" Christmas tree farms are growing in popularity throughout the country. According to the National Christmas Tree Growers Association, a growing portion of the 30 million trees harvested each holiday season are the "do- it-yourself" variety. For families who don't mind taking the time to locate a tree farm, the bene- fits can be great. Besides having the fun of choosing and harvesting their own tree, the tree will stay fresh longer. Properly watered, a tree can retain its fresh appearance for a month or longer. Tips on Harvesting Holiday Tree For harvesting the tree, a lightweight, gas-powered chain saw is efficient, if proper attention is paid to safety. While it's nice to have the family along to select the tree, children and other spectators should be out of the way when the work begins. If the tree has a sizable trunk, a notch cut should be used to keep the bark from splitting. Cut a V-shaped notch on one side of the trunk, then make a EY YANVAY NEY Vie single horizontal cut from the opposite side. After the tree has been felled, cut the trunk to form a flat base for mounting. Holiday "loggers" should exercise just as much care in harvesting their Christmas tree as in any woodcutting job. They should follow all the safety tips listed in the owner's manual provided by the manufacturer of their saw. Dear Santa Dear Santa Merry Christmas to you.
