TIMBER NOT OUR ONLY WASTE As time goes on we will probably be utilizing more and more of the fir tree in the lumber production, but until recently it looked to the average individual that the burner got the biggest part of the tree and rejected logs littered .th«* logged off lands. That, sort of practice looked WM&efuT'td the fellow "who was not used to seeing logged off land, but we have another practice whichis probably just as wasteful, although perhaps not as visible. While this is not yet a commercial fruit growing section, there is far more fruit left to rot in the family ofchard than is ever utilized and this isn’t saying anything about the thousands of gallons of wild berries, which go to waste in the womLs every year. If the wild berries could be made available to many places in the I nited States they would command a good price. In addition to the tons of berries left to rot in the woods. there are apples, plums, cherries ami other domestic fruit left to fall to the ground, because there is no demand for the fruit here.
