9 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON FRIDAY. AUGUST 21. 1936 WOOD SUPPLY IN FOREST C AN BE ESTIMATED How much wood the forest lnd of western Oregon and western Washington produces each year, and how much It Is capable of producing under improved management, are questions that can now be answered dependably, according to Thornton T. Munger, director of the Pacllic northwest forest experiment station. The station has Just completed the growth phase of a detailed survey of the region's forest resources and is Issuing a report, prepared cnteny by W. H. Meyer and P. A. Brlegleb, on "Forest Growth in the Douglas Fir Region." The regional forest survey, part of a nationwide project, locally under the direction of H. J. Andrews, made a study of the depletion of existing forest resources by cutting, fires, wind storms, and Insect epidemics. As a result, accurate and complete Information is now available for the Douglas fir region as to the extent of timber lands, the volumes of the existing forest stanos. their ages, density, productive capacity of the lands, and the quantities of timber that are being cut and otherwise killed. Previous research had reveal ed the rates at which Douglas fir second growth stands of normal density grow at varicia ages on sites of varying qualities; and the rates for hardwoods were .determined by new studies, application of these growth rates beuig made to uiven. tory data. Results snow lust how nearly, in this region the forest is holduig its own against present in roads, and indicate to what degree, if present trends continue, It will sustain the demands ol the future. Current annual growth of the Douglas fir and otner coniferous lorests is found to do approximately 888 million cubic feet or XIOO million board feet; that of the hardwoods 31 million cubic feet, or 72 million board feet. Average annual depletion from all causes during the decade preceding 1933 is calculated as 8300 million board feet, including a 7800 million foot cut. Measured in board feet, the current annual growth of the coniferous stands is only about 28 percent of their average annual depletion In that decade. Potential annual coniferous growth, which under Intensive forestry practice could be obtained each year on the lands suitable for tin.ber production, is found to be about 3759 million cu bic feet, or 8200 million board feet. This means that in the Douglas fir region an annual drain on the forests such as that of the decade preceding 1633 could be equalled by annual growth If the over-mature stands were replaced with growing stands, forest lands now idle were regenerated, and the density of the existing second-growth stands were brought nearer to normal. Statistics of current annual growin are tabulated separately for each of 11 geographic units Into which the region was divided for survey pur noses, and for each of the region's 38 western counties.

OP) The Yale wood collections now con tain more than 32.500 specimens, representing 10,400 named species of 2,468 genera and 225 families as the result of a worldwide study of woods by the Yale forestry school. The additions during the last two years alone almost equal the total number of specimens on hand a decade ago. The most outstanding addition made to the collections was obtain ed as a result of a visit by Prof. Samuel J. Record to Holland. This consisted of a gift to Yale by the Commercial Museum of the Colonial institute at Amsterdam of 2.215 Javanese wood specimens collected with herbarium materials by Koor dprs. This material was studied for more than 30 years by Dr. Jansson ius of Holland, and the results of his work were published in six vol umes. Students at Yale can exam ine the actual material described in the text. One of the Record's major pro jects has been the study of the tim bers of British Honduras. The work was begun years ago in cooperation with the forestry department of the colony and with the field museum on natural history. Record collab orated in the authorship of a vol ume on this subject, published this year by the museum. For the work in timber testing, ft has bfen found advantaneotu to use specimens of little known, but potentially important tropical trees, as the data thus obtained are con tributions to science.
