VACATED TREE LAND Habits of thought, ruied by words in the form of common expressions, led people for a hundred years ana more to a view of logged-off land as a lost land. The slash-burning common ly left the land under the stumps and debris looking like a hopeless proposition. All over the United States such terms as "denuded," "devastated." "rav aged," were haoitually employ ed to described logged-off and slash-burned forest lands. Even foresters were inclined to distort the term "clear-cutting" into an evil meaning. Now nobody denies that on the aver age Douglas fir tree farm one forest field should be cut at a time, and cut clear, as a rule, with a neighboring field or block uncut until the cleared field has a new crop of trees from natural reseeding. The clear-cut field of a tree farm is correctly managed as va cated tree land like the lot and house of a vacated home in town. Rightly maintained or improved, the house and lot will attract Ferry in Helsinki es. Ten passengers managed to swim clear. The bus drive- and the conductor also survived the plunge into the 12-foot deep wa ter. Finnish officials said it was the worst bus accident in the country's history.

Far Famous Box 12 Tribune United P.-ess Full Leased Wn Pages 1-6 new home-makers. And the va cated tree (arm field, with due care and protection, will soon be occupied by new trees. Tree Conversion Now the trees of harvesting size that vacate a given field o: Douglas fir forest are traveling trees. They travel on through manufacturing processes, and they live on in their new forms in areas aiar from the land of their growth. Men who know their forest facts and figures estimate the amount of wood in America's existing homes at more than 500.000,000.000 (five hundred billion) board feet. That is, the nation's houses have about five sixths as much timber standing in them in terms of board feet as all the trees of the Douglas fir region. Many great forests, in effect, vacated the land and became houses on other land. These trees traveled! They moved Irom work of growing to work of home-making. This good work endures wonderfully well. About half of the nation's resi dential dwellings are more than 25 years old. A fourth are more than 50 years of age. Tens of thousands of churches, schools, stores, barns and other light lumber-built structures are also standing timber trees that vacated the land, went through the mill, and moved away to work at making American homes. Books in the stacks of librar ies are standing timber, too. That hemlock tree you lost may be your own Bible! Men in motion. Trees travel ing. That's the kind of world we live in. Motion Makes Money Money docs grow on trees when they move out from the land and go through the mill In due course part of the money from tree products travels back from all around the world and comes home to pay wages, taxes and dividends, and to support other businesses and agriculture in the producina region. The money that grows on trees through the processes of travel, conversion, more travel, marketing and consumer use, also serves to bring new trees up on the vacated tree fields and to defend them against enemy fire. Vacating forest fields of trees of harvest sizes, manufacturing tree products, moving them to markets, and bringing home the "bacon," this process has been the biggest source of income for Oregon and Washington since 1849 the mightiest foun tain of wages. All signs suggest that thus it will ever be, the Lord willing. Increasing demands are not draining off the resource. They make the tree fields more valu able to 40.000 individual tim ber owners in the two states. Men conserve the things they value. So while they keep trees going to market they are sure to keep trees growing on the vacated lands just as good houses are kept occupied.
