To meet the growing timber demands of a growing nation, wood using industries of the United States are spending $56,875,- 000 a year in management of commercial timberlands own ed by themselves, and their neighbors. American Forest Products Industries, which conducted a nationwide survey of forest management on industry lands, said lumber, pulp-paper, plywood and other in dustries now spend $14,300,- CJ Tree Farmer Is Featured In Article Portland A Consent tion-minded tree farmer in Illinois valley who couldn't see the hardwoods on his farm" wasted, has developed a cnarcoal business which is now supplying outlets in southern Oregon and northern California and is expanding its facilities to serve an even larger market. The story is told in the May issue of The Timberman, for estry - logging journal pub lished by Miller Freeman Publications.

AFPI said the survey show ed 92 per cent of timberlands owned by the wood-using in dustries is under permanent management for future tim ber crops. In several in stances, companies have pro jected planned timber har vests well into the next cen tury. . Sound Management "The results of the survey show the intensity of sound forest management being practiced on industry-owned lands in all parts of the country," James C. McClel lan, AFPI chief forester, said. "They indicate, too, that this type of forest manage ment is spreading to the small woodlot owner through the industry-operated Tree Farm program, by means of which thousands of farmers and others are being" encour aged to grow trees as a crop." Of the 3,10.0 technical for esters employed by land owning forest industries, 475 are assigned to assist farm ers and other owners of small woodlots, AFPI said. Some 4,000 other foresters, : how ever, are engaged m forest management of private lands throughout the country. Land-owning forest indus tries, in addition to their tech nical foresters, employ more than 10,500 other workers in various phases of forest management. Depend on Farmers Wood-using industries al ways will depend upon the farmers and other small land owners for a greater portion of their raw material," AFPI noted. "Therefore, it is easy to see why they are doing something to help these land owners establish their wood lots on a sound footing." Pulp and paper companies, for instance, obtain only 24.3 per cent, find lumber com panies only 42.4 per cent, of their timber requirements from lands owned by forest industries. The AFPI survey covered 448 companies, including 280 lumber and plywood com panies, 121 pulp and paper companies, 16 integrated mills, and 31 other companies. I AM SUPPORTING JUDGE EDWARD C.
