I see the quotation marks, so I'm presuming she really did say that. If so, may God have mercy on our country.....
 
Why do they cut the top out of the trees before felling?
A strong pole, or spar, was was used to set blocks high above the surrounding logged area to achieve better rigging angles and provide a central location to drag the logs to. There are some great books about the old loggers, definitely a tough and hard working bunch. I presume that they topped the spar pole so they could keep a better eye on the rigging but probably more to it than that.
