Tree farms, the speaker explained, are privately-owned forest lands de voted to perpetual cropping. It was emphasized that tree farm ers pay taxes on their lands, reg ulate themselves, pay their own bills and will never receive any financial benefit. Each species of tree has been studied for its needs and habits of growth, in the same way that grains or other crops are studied for soil, light and moisture re quirements, the speaker said. Reseeding is done by following nature's lead. In the case of the Douglas fir, this means a system of logging that leaves islands of trees to serve as seed sources in clear-cut, selected timber blocks. The pines, on the other hand, are harvested by individu al tree selection. Eight commer cial species are harvested in this region, in contrast to the usual two or three found in most tim ber producing areas, Mr. Simp son said. This makes for a great er number of problems. Partic ular praise was given to the Med ford corporation for its forest management. Although one of the latest to receive the tree farm certificate, the local com pany, which has holdings of 80,000 acres, has been following the approved practices so long that it is now ready to harvest its second crop, the club was told. Another vital aspect of tree farming in this area is a cooper ative fire protection plan, includ ing the first industrial service radio system, whereby 50 lumber companies help each other con trol fires, render aid in accidents and supply other services for loggers, the speaker related. Mr. Simpson predicted vast changes in the next few years in the utilization of forest products. He forsees such developments as boards of specified colors and hardness made from scraps and waste, and such diverse products as . plastics, insecticides, gas, sugar, yeast, wax, explosives and drugs, as well as paper and build ing materials. He noted that Americans use 300 pounds of paper and 240 board feet of lum ber per person per year, as com pared with 31 pounds of paper and 21 board feet of lumber per person in the rest of the world. In spite of this huge consump tion he was optimistic regarding the future of our forests.. He re garded the saving of old growth timber as nonsense, stressing the concept of our forests, as living resources, perpetually renewed and providing a permanent sup ply of raw materials. , During the business meeting plans for holding a plant sale in Medford were discussed. Mem bers were urged to prepare ma terial, for the sale and to watch for the date. Mrs. Dee Hendrick son is chairman of this project. A change in meeting places for March was announced.
