LIFE TERM Former stock
broker L. Ewing Scot, con
victed in Los Angeles of first
degree murder in the disap
pearance of his wealthy so
cialite wife, has been sen
tenced to life imprisonment
by decree of the jury which
found him guilty.
the state. The fi. ure is roughly
twice the number of trees plant
ed by companies and private in
dividuals last year.
Many companies are also
seeding directly by hand or
helicopter on additional thou
sands of acres of land.
Latest Phase
The giant reforestation effort,
which started in late November
and will continue until next
spring, is the latest phase in a
growing tempo of industry inter
est in tree planting spanning the
past decade. While most forest
land reseeds itself naturally,
planting may speed up the pro
cess, and in certain situations is
necessary to establish new young
stands of timber.
Foresters point out that much
of the planting and seeding will
be done on barren land swept
by forest fires which destroyed
natural seed sources and on land
where brush threatens to take
over.
Most of the planting will be
concentrated in western Oregon,
where forest tree types require
that harvesting be done largely
by logging whole "blocks" of ma
ture timber. In eastern Oregon,
where industry can log "selec
tively" a term which means
that a forester can pick indivi
dual .trees in a stand for harvest
ing without harm to other trees
natural reproduction makes
planting largely unnecessary.
Big Problem
One big problem with which
industry foresters must cope is
extensive damage to seedlings in
some areas by hungry deer and
rodents. The Booth-Kelly Lum
ber company in Springfield, for
example, reports that approxi
mately 72 per cent of its seed
lings were nipped by animals
last year, destroying or stunt
ing most of the seedlings.
Virtually all of the young
trees to be planted are being
furnished by the Col. William
B. Greeley Industrial Forest Nur
sery at Nisqually, Wash., the
John Woods and Son Forest nur
sery near jSalem, and the state
nursery near Corvallis.
Companies which plan to seed
their lands from helicopters say
this method is faster and cheaper
per acre, and has become more
effective since the development
of chemicals for treating seeds
to repel seed-eating rodents. A
poor cone crop this year, how
ever, resulted in a small seed
harvest and thereby restricted
the amount of direct seeding
which could be done.
Long-Range Basis
"The great bulk of Oregon for
est industries which own timber
land are managing those lands
on a long-range basis under good
forestry principles," Sam Robb,
Dallas, chairman of the Oregon
committee of American Forest
Products Industries, said.
"This is an indication of the
basic permanency of the state's
wood-using industries. Although
the market may have its ups
and downs, the long-term out
look for the industry is one of
growth and stability."
The Oregon state board of for
estry's nursery near Corvallis is
supplying private landowners
with 3,000.000 seedlings this
year in addition to filling state
needs. Next year, with produc
tion from the state's new Elkton
nursery becoming available, the
state will produce some 20.000,
000 trees for planting by private
landowners.

For Launching
At White Sands
Huntsville. Ala. (IP New
facilities will be provided at
White Sands Proving Grounds,
N.M., for launching the Restone
ballistic missile, the Army's new
est and Jargest weapon system,
it was announced here Saturday.
Maj. Gen. J. B. Medaris, com
mander of the Army Ballistic
Missile Agency, explained the
additional facilities are required
for "engineering use evaulation"
firing and for training technical
units.
The Restone is now launched
at the Missile Test Center at
Cape Canaveral, Fla., along with
other United States missiles in
cluding the Army's Jupiter. An
instrumental range is available
there using areas of the Atlantic
Ocean.
The Restones launched at
White Sands will not travel the
full range of the missile, Medaris
emhapsized.
"It will then be possible to
obtain accurate ground impact
information, not always possible
over the Florida range," he said.
No live warheads will be car
ried on the missile.
The White Sands facilities will
inrliide a missile handling build-
and laboratory, vertical launch
ing facilities and service structure.
