The eutover area is new if 11 a story of najniiBi tano er that fca bees reshaped into trade item by work of men and machine, la the .process of producing for national and work! market, the movement of tree from stump has yielded wages, profit, taxes, interest, purchase of supplies and ser vices, payment of railroad and shipping bills. Such returns are repeated throughout the manufacturing process and movement to whole sale and retail markets and to the end uses of the tree. Then the tree's service may continue for a century and more like that of lumber in an old house, which may continue to produce rental income after a century of use. Certain stump in the cutov er reflect newspapers streaming from presse in tar cities. Oth ers tell of the building of church es and schools and railroads. The record of good or bad util ization is in the logging leftov er. The standing snags, or the lack of them among the itumps, are a chapter on foret-fire dan ger and defense. Many other features present the commercial forest cutover a an open book on a great natural resource in dynamic use by men at work with trees. The "Kon-CoramerriaJ" Forest The non-commercial forest land of the Pacific Northwest amount to 18 3 million acre. The greater part of thi acreage is on lite that range from acid muck of twamps to steep and stony ground of high altitudes. On such areas the growth is commonly brush, "weed trees." or other trees that are incapable of yielding merchantable wood product. Minor segments of the non commercial forest acreage have merchantable timber of b.gh quality but stand on lands that have been set aside by federal, state, county or municipal gov ernment for parks, wilderness and recreation area, military reservation, wildlife refuge and watershed. In each rase the authorities concerned have decided" that some n on -commercial use of a particular forest tract ha higher value than in dustrial uie of it tree. Trees may outstay man on the land of the Pacific Northwest. Then all the forests will again be non-commercial, entirely re stored to nature for the making of a new wilderness.

Transition Rapid The transition from feast-to- famine has been so rapid that many puzzled shoppers are writ ing sharp letters to their con gressmen demanding to know, "why can't we get potatoes?" Tne answer, according to Ag riculture Department officials, i a simple a A-B-C . . . A. Potatoes are scarce because the 1951 crop which should be on sale in the stores right; now was the smallest since 1938. about 337.000.000 bushel. Damaged by Winter B. The 1951 crop was small minate the potato price support program which cost the govern ment S695.5O9.OO0 between 1942 and 1S50. OPS Given Blame The National Potato Council gives the Office of Price Stabil ization a large share of the blame for the current potato shortage The OPC rolled back ceiling prices from 5 to 10 per cent last January, and the council says that action discour aged farmers from enlarging their potato acreage. New York State's 70,000 miles of streams and thousands of because farmers didn't plant as j lakes are stocked each yeag with many potatoes as usual, and a 500.000.000 fish. I Xf!
