Survey Notes
Markets for
Valley Timber
A continuing market for timber
growing on Willamette valley
farms was reported Monday by
the state forestry department, fol
lowing a survey which included
timber buyers and sawmill opera
tors. Charles H. Ladd, state senior
farm forester .said the market is
active for saw log, pulpwood and
pole stum page, with wartime
prices prevailing.
He noted that woodlands in the
valley have an advantage in be
ing easy to log. In addition, an in
novation in pulp mill methods en
ables the mills to accept cordwood
in eight-foot lengths, unpeeled and
in the round, thus requiring less
labor and enabling production
during the wintertime.
"Barkies." or poles with bark.
are said to be bringing good prices.
