Farm and Town Cooperation . . . An ideal pattern of coopera tion In farm woodland develop ment has been formed and put to work by the Puyallup (Wash ington) Chamber of Commerce, and forestry agencies of indus try and government. It will work anywhere. The objective is encourage ment of productive woodland management in Pierce County. The plan is to foster a spirit of self-help, mutual support, and community action through all groups that are concerned with the county's forest future and want action to increase wood land returns.. The method of the plan, the Chamber and the forestry agen cies have agreed, is simplicity, itself. First, the woodland owner makes formal request in writing to the Puyallup Chamber of Commerce for assistance in set ting up a practical program for his tree lands. Then the Cham ber assigns a listed "service" for ester to the applicant, for analy sis of the woodland In relation to the farm's whole economy, -In the Fiald . . . Moving on in agreement, the forester and the owner recon noiter the property, taking due note of its condition, capabili ties, present use, timber inven tory, stocking condition, soil pos sibilities, protection problems, and general overall possibilities of growth and development. In all this the human element is a powerful factor. The forester needs to respond sympathetical ly to the farmer's wants and to visualize the work of the wood land in ways to fit the farmers's Ideas into the final action plan to be recommended. A first question in any farm woodland owner's mind is just what can be expected from bis trees in Immediate cuttings. products and financial returns. And then: what are the most suitable logging methods for the woodland: what about logging contractors; what other details of harvesting arid marketing an immediate crop are in view? Cooperation . . Next, the owner indicates just what steps of good forestry he can take, immediately and in long range, how much work he can do personally, how many others he can depend on for the job. Lastly, he agrees that in ac cepting service of the forester and assistance from the Chamber of Commerce, he will adhere to the recommendations and plans that are agreed on between them. Now farmer and forester are ready for the drawing up of a management plan embodying the results of inspection, analysis and conference. The plan must set forth specifically the condi tion of the property, what can be expected from management, what is needed to develop the woodland in the way of immedi ate returns and for permanent rotation of production and growth. The forester completes his draft of the plan, reviews it with the landowner, and with the lat ter's acceptance reports the plan to the Puyallup Chamber .of Commerce. Approved by its Farm Wood land Forestry Committee, the Puyallup Chamber of Commerce swings In to support the newk unit of its farm woodland pro gram for as long as agreement is kept on productive forestry practices.

"Am I supposed to be glad you're big?" 4 L,i i&S&l 1 19 r i A ll I f i I I -aw-! if' 1 'sTi . - - k ..., ft I I J i ''x t. t, k - a,a... . . . Many people write US such comments as this: "I've heard people talk against big companies like you. Lately I've been reading your statements about bigness. Am I supposed to be glad you're big?" The answer to this question depends on your answer to certain others. "Big business" often gets the blame for many things, so that some people have come to feel that bigness itself may be bad. But in making up your own mind on this proposition, it's well to consider the good tha,t comes from this same bigness. Do you like new and bettor thinga? Standard haa spent over 135,000,000 on reaearch and technical service in the last 5 years, developing new products, improving existing ones, making new raw mate rials for other manufacturers. The benefita are all around you. Yet only when allowed to grow big, by serving you bat tar, can we take on the work and risk involved. Do you like a bargain? You're getting one in gasoline. Whila the cost of living is up about 47 in the last 26 years, gasoline ia np less than 4 ' "r, except for taxes. (And it's better gas; 2 gal lons now do work that then took 3.) Why? Largely because of competition among big oil companies. Are you slad you hav the conveniences of thi 'machine a?' They depend heavily on oil. You're assured an ample supply of oil by the enterprise of big companies like Standard. We seek out new crude reserves, in this country and abroad, with exploration that may cost millions before the first gallon is found. We can do jobs this big only because ue are big. Do you want to keep your country strong? Our fighting men are backed by the world's greatest production capacity. It takes big companies to keep defense goods in full supply. Standard is at work for our government on aviation gasolinea, atomic reaearch, synthetic rubber, and other vital project. Obviously, there are countless ways to express the benefita you gain by our big. nesa . . . countless questions we could ask, to which you'd probably answer "yea" just as readily. And if you like the things that bigness brings, the answer to tha question ws started with is the same. You can be glad we're big.
