Key To Future limber Supplies Said To Lie With Farmers, Private Tract Owners
Portland U.R) The United
States must find the great bulk
of its future timber reeds in its
own forests and the key to fu
ture supplies lies with some 4,-
500,000 farmers and other pri
vate owners of mainly small
tracts of timberland, the chief
Qf the U.S. Forest Service said
yesterday.
Richard E. McArdle, address
ing the Society of American For
esters meeting here, reported
that forest growing conditions
on these small lands were the
"ooorest." He said the lands
made up 60 per cent of the na
on's acreage in trees,

U. of Penn. Houses
Chemistry Library
ePhiladelphia (U.R) The
University of Pennsylvania is
the new home for. America's
largest public collection of books
and manuscripts tracing the his
tory of chemistry.
It is the Edgar Fahs Smith
Memorial Collection, given to
the university in 1928. following
the death of. Dr. Smith, who
was provost, chemistry professor
and a former president of the
American Chemical Society.
It was housed in his former
office in the Harrison Laboratory
and has, just been reopened for
general use in the Hare Build
ing.
In the collection are some
9,000 books and pamphlets, 1,400
manuscripts and 3,400 portrait
prints and medallions of chem
ists and chemical subjects. St.
Thomas Aquinas', "Commentaria
Super Libros Physicorus," print
ed 12 years before Columbus
discovered America, is among
the rare items.
Dream About Broken
TV Set Comes True
Memphis, Tenn. flJ.R) Next
time their television set goes on
the blink, a Memphis couple
won't ' send for a repairman.
They'll try to conjure up a
dream.
Mr. and Mrs. Joe Oxendine
had a dull evening without TV
recently when a tube on their
.set went out. Worse still, they
faced a big repair bjll. ,
The next morning, however,
Mrs. Oxendine told her husband
she had had a queer dream.
"I dreamed I turned on the
TV, and it was all right. Got the
clearest kind of picture."
The Oxendines turned on their
set, and there it was. Been get
ting the clearest kind of picture
ever since.
as a "state of tne union report
on our timber supplies," said the
report was gathered with help
by state agencies, forest indus
tries and others.
He said the review asumed in
estimating future timber de
mand that the United States
would have a populatio nof 210,
000,000 by 1975 and 275,000,000
by the year 2000.
Two levels in timber use
trends were used in projecting
timber demands of this increased
population. (
One anticipated decreased con
sumption of wood, a declining
per capita demand and increase
in real price. Because of popula
tion increase, however; this low
er trend would demand by the
year 2000 some 67 per cent more
wood products than 1952 con
sumption in this country.
Will Hold. Present Place
The other anticipated that
wood will hold its present place
in the national economy and
calls for - an - estimated increase
of 105 per. cent above the 1952
total by the year 2000.
McArdle said that Canada is
counted on to increase its im
ports "but in amounts insuffi
cient to contribute materially to
ward satisfying the increased
demands in the United States."
He said that action taken dur
ing the next 20 years will decide
where the U.S. stands in timber
supply at the end of the century.
"Forest conditions are best on
public and forest industry such
as tree farm ownerships," he
said.
He said acceleration of recent
"encouraging" forestry trends is
vital if the timber resources are
to be reasonably abundant 50
years from now.
Four Possibilities
McArdle listed four possibil
ities for permanently adding to
timber supplies.
1. Reducing non-salvage loss
of 10,000,000,000 board feet an
nually to insects and disease.
. 2. Planting 50,000,000 more
acres of presently non-productive
forest lands to grow 8,000,
000 board feet of sawtimber an
nually. 3. Improving timber growth in
one fourth of commercial forest
land which is understocked with
trees. ,
4. Prompt and adequate re
stocking on cutover areas so as

to maintain their productivity.
He noted there is no excess of
forest land in the country as land
has been cleared for agricul
tures, highways have been built
and towns have sprung up and
urban areas expanded.
DeWitt Nelson, director of the
California Department of Na
tural Resources, said that to as
sure an adequate future timber
crop "we must give Mother Na- tions, insect infestation, disease
ture more help than ever be
fore."
Protection of Resources
Nelson spoke on protection of
forest resources in converting the
old-growth into a new one. "How
succesful we are in getting a
healthy annual crop will depend
on many variables such as fire,
seed production, rodent popula-
infestation and the management
policy of the landowner for the
next 25, 50 or 75 years.
He said, "the management phi
losophy of most major timber
owners has evolved to where
management is willing to plow
some of its profits back into the
woods for ' tomorrow's timber
crop." .
E. P. Stamm, vice president of
Crown Zellerbach Corp.; told

He said it results in a loss of
over a billion feet of timber an
nually on the region's federal
forests, where, the road shortage
is ' particularly acute.
