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

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.
