Container and Timber Products Corp. and chairman of the Ore gon Committee of American For est Products Industries, Inc. Martin referred to a recently completed, nation-wide survey by American Forest Products Indus tries which brought out the fact that while 59 per cent of the peo ple have heard about tree farms, only about eight per cent know what they are. He added that people thought tree farms were like tree nurseries or places where you would plant trees be fore moving them out into the woods. Others thought that Iree farms were purely for experimen tal purposes. The spokesman pointed out that tree farming is a program de signed to encourage private for est landowners to manage their forests under the best and most up-to-date forestry techniques in order to grow timber on a con tinuing basis. Martin hastened to add that there are no tax "breaks" or oilier rewards for tree farmers. They do, however, benefit directly because good forestry will produce higher re turns for the forest landowner, he said. Not Government Sponsored Another misconception which was brought out by the survey, .Martin said, is that 78 per cent of the public thinks tree farms tre sponsored by the govern ment. He explained that this is strictly an industry program sponsored nationally by AFPI, by the Western Pine Association in the Western Pine region, by the Industrial Forestry Association in the Douglas Fir region and by the California Redwood Associa tion in that region. Martin said there are now close to 2.4(H) certified tree farms in three forest regions of the west totaling some 14.4 million acres. Oregon has 4.7 million acres in 485 tree farms. Nationally there are some 26.000 tree farms with 61.5 million acres. WATER TANKS CONCRETE 500-1500 Gal. well'casing 4 in. to 48 in. far Permanent Installation And Free Estimate!
