Soule of these; though re- latively small, have a certain im- portance to the producere as a lneans of added income, wile the railways benefit from the increased traffic, and the Dominion generally from the in. creased volume of trade. 'The principal of these is perhaps the furnishing of Christmas trees, says the bulletin. "Christmas trees from woods 'le every part of the Do- minion will be found in the nether- most ends aP the continent.
