Timber Industries
Spend $56 Million
For Management
Washington, D.C. 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. The article was
written by Mrs. Robert Bot
tel, Cave Junction correspon
dent for the Grants Pass
Courier, Medford Mail Trib

column, "Grin and Bear 'Em',
which appears in the Courier,
recently was purchased by
King Syndicate, Mrs. Bottel
was also the first place win
ner in the Willamette Valley
Logging Conference news
story contest. '
The Timberman article tells
how E. W. Morris in a short 5
years developed a charcoal
producing business which em
ploys four men providing
hardwood logs for his two
kilns, and sells his trademark

PSYCHOLOGIST DIES
Princeton, N.J. (IP) Dr.
Samuel P. Hayes, 83 psycholo
gist for the blind, died Wed
nesday after, a long illness.
Hayes was the author of
many articles on blindness
and published one book on
psychology and blindness. He
also adapted the Stanford
Binet test as an intelligence
test for the blind.
000 a year on forest fire pro
tection, $1,750,000 on insect
and disease control, $38,725,
000 on general management
practices, and $2,100,000 on
forestry research.
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.
