There nre thousands of acres of

In western nml southern Oregon,
where conditions for trco growth are
moro favorable than In the Lake
states, it seems reasonable to believe
that similar or even better develop

Industry. An when theso results are
attained without any attempt toward
proper managomont or flro protoc
tlon, tho outlook for still better re
suits under systematic forestry prac

Ordinary logging operations tako
from tho forest merely tho sawlog

small trees varying In slzo 'from 10
to 20 Inches In diameter standing on
tho grojtnd after tho logging Is com
pleted. SUch trees If protected from
tire will grow Into merchantable tsaw
log timber In 15 to 20 years. Be
sides theso, there aro still many moro
smaller trees which grow twice1 aa
rapidly after the large over topping
trees aro removed. Natural repro-i
ductton always occurs readily oa
logged oft lands and It protected
from fire, tho seedlings and small
trees will continue to flourish and
eventually develop Into merchantable

stand the foreater has cut at least
four crops ot timber, At tho end of
tho 100 year rotation tho one year old
aoodling has become a full grown

In this conndctldn It should be un

spoken ot aa tho "mature tree," sev

'in practical forestry. A tree la the
