That's the most important consideration. The answer rests in proper management of your woodlot. Yon hare seen that more than one product can b taken from your woodlot The products you get depend on 1) type of timber you have, 2) local markets, 3) selling prices, and 4) logging costs. Al ways cut the products that bring the most net return to you. Keep in touch with markets nd buyers. To manage your trees you work with nature. Each young forest starts with thousands of tree to an acre. As the trees grow the weaker ones die for lack of sun. food, water and air. This natural thinning process is called mortality and the loss in nnmanaged wood lots will run to a cord per acre each year. You can harvest those trees and improve on nature. By cutting the right trees you will release grow ing space for the smaller, better quality trees in your woodlot. You change loss to income and at the same time improve your forest. Removing the right number of trees each year is important. In Douglas fir forests you should go over every acre at 5 to 10 year in tervals and take out from 15 to 30 per cent of the stand of mer Problems of Foreigners Puzzle Naturalization Man New York (U.R) Problems brought to Martin M. Gleisner's office are puzzlers. There may be a 57-year-old woman who has to find out the name of the ship she took to this country in 1910, or a 24-year-old Russian-born sailor who is a modern man without a coun try. Gleisner, expert on Immigra tion and naturalization for the Common Council for American Unity, crowds the case histories into files already filled with problems of people who dream of becoming American citizens. "About 100 people every month come to the office in per son and nearly that many write each month," said the immigra tion authority. He himself was born in Germany, fled to France when Hitler came into power, and escaped to America when Germany defeated France in 1940. Old Record Helps On his desk was a volume en titled "European Passenger Arrivals, 1890-1930." "This is extremely valuable, and very hard to get," he said picking up the book. "Before 1924 people came to this country without a formal" visa. Now, to become citizens, they must have their entry verified by showing their names on the ship's pas senger list. If they can tell me the date of their sailing and the port, I can help them with this book." Many of the explaining let ters give extremely vague clues, such as: "I came on a German boat and arrived two days be fore All Saints Day in, 1910." Many more letters are from foreign-born reisdents of this country who want to brinf,4rela tives over. Under our present quota system, many of Gleis ner's answers must be disap pointing. "The quotas in countries like Lithuania, for instance, have been subscribed up to the year 2087," he explained. This happened because dis placed persons, most of whom were quota immigrants, were charged to their countries' quo tas for future years. Montgomery Ward Penn R R Penney, J C Radio ....

To get high-quality timber your woodlot needs enough trees on each acre to use all available growing' space. Frequent thinnings keep the trees growing rapidly. Frequent cuttings also make it possible to avoid hav. ing too much space left between trees. Poor spacing permits wind throw and trees may become sun s'calded or injured in other wayg. Well spaced trees have a closed canopy, that is. the branches of one tree meet or nearly meet those of its neighbors. Forests of this type produce maximum tree growth per acre of high-quality trees. They also keep hardwood brush growth down to a minimum by keeping out the sunlight. In 20 years an cre of managed forests will grow 6 cords of wood; in 40 years there will be 48 cords, in 50 years an acre will yield 72 cords and at age 80 an acre will produce 120 cords. Note rapid in crease in older trees, That's a graphic reason why you should manage your forests. Next we will discuss what trees to cut to get best results from management. (For more particulars write your State Forester at Olymuia, Washington or Salem, Orpon for your free copy of "TOUR TREES A CROP." how to grow and harvest them in the Douflaa fir region.) Right now Gleisner is study ing the case of a young Russian sailor who looks longingly at the shores of Manhattan every two weeks when his Norwegian ship puts into port. He can't come ashore because he has no passport. v "His parents fled to Shanghai when the Bolshevik revolution broke out in Russia," Gleisner said. "The boy had to get a pass port before he could., get a job on a ship in 1947, so he got a Russian passport in Shanghai. "He found he could come into this country under the displaced persons act, but when he got a hearing set before the immigra tion officials his Russian pass port had expired. He doesn't want to get that renewed be cause he wants to be an Amer ican citizen, , but he can't come ashore for a hearing without a passport." ; Gleisner visited the young sail or personally before he agreed to work on the case. Montague Man Held On Contributing Charge Yreka, Calif. A foreman at Klamath River Lumber com pany in Montague is being held at the county jail charged with contributing to the delinquency of an 18-year-old Yreka girl, a former Montague resident. Robert E. Logan, 36, was ar rested Friday and arraigned Sat urday before Judge Claude E. Gillis of Yreka. Deputy Sheriff George Banich made the arrest. According to Banich, Logan, who is married to a woman now in Central Point, Ore., is charg ed specifically with causing the girl to live a life other than that which she would under normal circumstances. 1 , The cheerful songs of tree frogs are heard more often dur ing damp weather and .before a storm. 3, Now Playing Nightly The Sensational JOE NEWMAN TRIO Featuriitfl Vickie Yoimf ant!
