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.

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. Science
