Western Packers
Oppose Oyster
Content Increase
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. CP)
rThe Washington congressional
delation will ask the lood and
drug administration n6t to com
pel western packers to Increase
the oyster content of lOounce
cans ol cooked oysters.
The administration ordered
that effective Nov. 29 the oyster
content of the cans be increased
form 51 ounces to 61 ounces,
after cooking. The western pack
ers contend enforcement of the
ruling will ruin their business.
They told the administration
in a brief that to get 61 ounces
of western oyster meat Into the
cans will require them to cram
nine ounces into the can before
cooking. The cooking process
' with so much oyster, they say,
will turn the oysters brown and
cause them not to be acceptable
to the public.
They contend that while the
western oyster shrinks tn the
cooking process the smaller east
ern and southern oyster gains
weight. This characteristic dif
ference they say makes It unfair
to apply the same rule to yes tern
oys'ers as is applied to eastern
and southern oysters.
The Washington House dele
gation decided to ask the ad
ministration not to enforce the
ruling and at least give tne west
ern packers another hearing to
enable them to present scientific
testimony to support their contentions.

THIS IS PRE-LOGGING
Pre-logging is the harvesting in advance of
smaller trees which otherwise would be dam
aged or destroyed if left until the big trees are
logged. This isn't as simple as it sounds. To
pre-log efficiently meant devising special new
and mobile logging equipment.
However, the effort is justified it the re
covery of many cords per acre of good clean
material, highly desirable in the manufacture
of sulphite or sulphate pulp. .
Pre-logging nri into the method of "block"
harvesting as used in the Douglas fir region,
wherf forest lands are clearcut in I patchwork
pattern, leaving blocks of seed trees as a source
of regeneration. This is all part of the cycle of
growth, harvest arid regfowth knowd as Tree
Farming.
Vi'eyerhaeuser's use of the pre-logging
method is another step toward more complete
utilization of the timber crop; toward placing
the industry on a permanent basis; toward pro
viding job stability.

Last winter, when W. E. Ellis

who was representing the estate,
and established her relationship.
