program of education and that it
has made its greatest advances
in the last decade. 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. Miss
Claire Hanley to be hostess for
the group. ' .
