Forest Practices Code Insures Future Timber
Br 8AM DAWSON '
PORTLAND, Or. Ifi The na
tion'a home-building splurge is
ripping into iu timber resource.
And some are asking today Are
man. insects and fire slowly but
surely destroying our forests?
The helicopter, some by-products
of the atom bomb, the latest in
Insect-killers even rate poison
s re being used today by lumber
men to fight this threat.
Federal and state laws act as
watchdogs to see that the vast
timberlands still left aren't squan
dered to meet the nation's big post
war demand for instruction ma
terials. More than two thirds of the
timberlands are government-owned.
Commercial lumbermen in the i
Pacific Northwest conscious of the
public s memory of the okJ Strip
ping" days when timberlands were
denuded for quick profits in lum
berinsist that new forestry meth
ods, forest farming and other types
of conservation assure the nation of
a fairly constant supply of new
timber.
There are enough trees standing
in the 12-stale Western pine region
from the eastern slopes of the
Cascade Mountatins to the western
borders of Texas and the Dakotas
to build 50 million five-room
houses, according to S. V. Fulla
way Jr., manager of the Western
Pine Assn. Here.
He adds that since 1X9 the
lumber companies and govern
agencies have developed a code
of forest practices to insure the
region's lasting future as a timber
source.
In' the pine regions the rules
now call for the cutting only of
ripe trees, leaving the young ones.
They grow fast when the old ones
are out of their way, and the area
resccds itjclf.
Tifferent practiree are followed
in the Douglas fir region This
is a strip from the western slopes
of the Cascade Mountains to the
Pacific Coast having the heavy
rainfall fir requires.
The West Coast Lumberman's
Assn. representing the majority
of Douglas fir lumber companies
la Washington, Oregon and north
ern California, says block cutting
works fine there. Square chunks
are hewn from the forest, with
standing trees left all around in
a checkerboard pattern. These re
seed the cut areas.

In Second Day
SALT LAKE CITY - An In

hearing on requests for lowered
freight rates for the West entered
its third day Wednesday with I
statement before it asking trie
right for shippers to choose be
tween alternate rale schedules.
Another statement declared that
costs of railroad operation in the
West are not so different as to
justify a different scale of class
rales.
Both statements were put Into
the record Tuesday by Utahns who
testified before 'Commissioner An
thony F. Arpnia.
II. E. Colwell. traffic manager
for the Utah Ciliens Rate Assn.,
made the proposal for alternate
rates. He said
"Any adjustment that is made

statement concerning railroad
operating costs.

After Eating?
But a good seeding year may
come along only every sis or seven
years. So some companies have
taken to seeding the cut areas
from planes, or planting seedlings
by hand.
But nature throws a curve at
the seeding process too. Forest
rodents grow fat on the airborne
seeds. The association reports that
some lumermen now use helicop
ters to strew poison grain first.
Alter the rodents have feasted on
that for awhile, the seeding planes
fly over. Before rodents from other
parts of the forest find their way
to the area, the seeds have a
chance to sprout.
It takes years for the new trees
to reach cutting stage how many
depends on the various species.
Uie amount of sun and rainfall
available, and the uses for which
they are being harvested.
And all the time they run the
risk of death by disease or insects.
The Western Pine Assn. says
that in the last 30 years tree-killing
insects have cost its region
71 billion board feet of timber
enough to build seven million five
room homes.
But the war brought the devel
opment of DDT. And now lumber
men use planes to spray the insect-killer
over large areas. Out
breaks of tree diseases also are
attacked now by planes loosing
lethal dust over affected forests
And the Oregon State Forestry
Department is aboutt o step into
the fight on the Douglas fir bark
beetle which causes more timber
land damage than forest fires.
It will feed some beetles on ra
dioactive isotope by-product of
the A-bomb. Then they will be
turned loose In the forest to gorge
themselves. Scientists will trace
the beetles' destructive progress
with Geiger counters, study their
habits, learn how they thrive and
maybe figure out how to control
them.
