How is the investor in any type of small forest ownership to finance the practice of for estry on his land? On every for est acre of private ownership the first questions are: What wood is salable, where can it be sold, and for how much? Believe me, and I speak from experience as a three-time forest land owner, the answers have more bearing on the practice of private forestry in these United States than any other facts that can be brought up. Forestry must be paid for. It is paid for on publicly owned lands through the collection of taxes and their disbursement by government agencies. It is paid for on privately owned lands out of capital investment or from sales returns. This towering, overshadowing fact of facts in our American for est economy is amazingly by passed by foresters in all the branches of the profession. It is most of all avoided by foresters who are charged with the pro- Spring All Year 9025 Slti 1220 , 3042 Stop shopping around, lady! Here's the smart original cool-top convertible dress you want!

Eight years ago the American Forest Products Indus tries organization was set going to educate the public on the gen eral forestry principle that trees are a crop, on the fact that the forest is the one natural resource that, replenishes itself, and to tell the good news of many progress programs of American private forest management. For four years this educational work was conducted with in creasing appreciation by the pub lic in general, and particularly by educators. Then, the directors and technical folks of AFPI met, in November, 1945, to add an "action program." It was decided to (1) carry in formation on the best forest prac tices to small foiest land owners, including farmers, (2) "encourage an industrial program for the or derly marketing of farm forest products," (3) enlist cooperation from all groups and agencies in terested in forestry for the ad vancement of the entire program. This was the stuff I'd been wanting to see put into effect ever since my hard luck as a small forest land owned. And now I'm" glad to say that No. 1 has been made a real job for four years b. this highly efficient outfit, all the while earning more plaudits from educators, farm leaders, state foresters and the U. S. forest service. But No. 2 has remained prac tically a dead letter. The reason, I think, is that until recently the merchandising of wood was a dead letter in the education and experience of the professional, technically-trained forester and forest engineer. The government forester is still all but prohibited from calling on retail lumber dealers in the course of his pro fessional work. The industry-employed forester, a freer man, nev ertheless commonly steers clear of forest products salesmen, their organizations, their meetings, and their literature, and would not be caught dead reading a for est products sales promotion ad vertisement. Thus the AFPI "More Trees for America" program remains unknown to the sales and adver tising departments of forest in dustry, and too often farmers fall into the belief that it is just an other government program in forest education. The Farmer's Friend There's nothing seriously wrong with all this. I hasten to assert. There's a lack, that's all. To fill the lack first of all it should be recognized that in this region the farm forest-owner's best friends, and all forestry's best friends, arc the west coast lumber companies that advertise west coast lumber all over the country and have staffs of sales men "merchandising" it. This sort of marketing effort helps everybody who has a crop of wood to sell from his land in western Oregon and Washing ton. Such effort does not build up consumer interest in just one company's lumber but in all lum ber that is sold as douglas fir, west coast hemlock, western red cedar and sitka spruce.

Tourist Season Nears; Oregon's Attractions Told (The Oregon Advertising club hat forecast another mc cessful tourist teasonthis year, and today announced plans for observance of Tourist Host week. May 22 to 28, which was recently designated by Gov. Douglas McKay. A record number of tourist inquiries hat been received by the travel in formation department of the highway commission. In ob servance of the occasion, a se ries of guest columns have been prepared by Oregon newspapermen io be run this week. The first, by Donald J. Sterling, managing editor of the Oregon Journal, appears below. Editor's note.) By Donald J. Sterling Managing Editor Oregon Journal We are a nation on wheels. And we may thank the gasoline engine for that. Largely because of the automobile, the intangible thing called tourist travel has de veloped into America's third largest industry. When the season beckons and we have the leisure, we step on the starter and set forth to see the sights that appeal to us. The beckoning is of wider range in view of the current emphasis upon longer vacation periods. Few regions in the country have more to offer the touring motorist than has Oregon. Nation-wide surveys indicate that 39.8 per cent of the vacationists prefer the lakes, 36.8 per cent the mountains and 30.3 per cent the seashore. Oregon has all three and many other attrac tions in abundance and within hailing distace of each other.

More than three quarters of a million out-of-state cars visited Oregon during 1949. The great majority of these were registered in the neighboring states of Cal ifornia and Washington. These visitors and others from more distant parts set the pace for Oregonians themselves. Let the emphasis for 1950 tourist traffic be for Oregonians to see Oregon. Then is nothing new in this approach, but it needs emphasis and more emphasis. All too many of us have not availed ourselves of the pleasures of knowing the great outdoors within the con fines of the 96,000 square mile area that is Oregon. Let us at least make a start as the summer season approaches. Let us see Oregon for ourselves.
