MILL CITY ENTERPRISE. SEPTEMBER 15. 1B49 Out of the Woods formation is County Extension Agent W. G. Nibler. at St. Helens. Here is a pattern of incalculable value for any county to follow. Some county fairgrounds in the Douglas fir regions have adjacent woodlands like the 3-acre and 7-acre tracts at Deer Island. In any fair, a model of a demonstration farm - forest tract can be made a feature. By means of a model, the basic facts of ‘‘More Tiees for Washington and Oregon” can be shown. An ac­ tual demonstration tract is best, of course. But any kind of forest exhi­ bit always draws the crowds. How Thinning Pays. The Columbia County tract has 16 bosses, members of the county farm forestry committee. Their problem in the first annual harvest, 1949, was to plan the cutting rate. The foresters agieed that the 10 acres were too jampacked with trees for good growth. They saw an aver­ age of 100 cords per acre in the ex­ isting trees. Then they decided on a yearly cut of ten cords per acre, or a total of 50 cords per acre for five years. The timber cut in 1949 was from dense patches; from deformed, bro­ ken and otherwise damaged trees, By JIM STEVENS COUNTY FAIR FOREST The Columbia County fairgrounds at Deer Island, Ore., include 10 acres of woodland which have been set as­ ide as a demonstration area. The pur­ pose is to make a living picture for the samll timber owner to show how he can manage his woodland to earn satisfying wages and at the same time take out wood each year in ways and amounts to maintain the stand. The 10 acres are a year-round ex­ hibit for anybody who cares to turn off the Columbia River Highway at the fairgrounds. The source of in­ r s.

After five year» the improvement of the woodland in terms of thinning should be through i t s first phase. Then the plan is to cut no more wood than the trees are growing year by year. This plan, as it looks now, will run for 20 years after this first five- year period. There’s the prospect. Now, how did c 'tyau.

For this reason the tendency has been to let it go, the trees taikng care of themselves, the logging, when it is done, being jobbed out for a lump sum to a logging contractor without cutting restrictions. One look by any small timber own­ er at the Columbia County demon­ stration tract will show that careful woodland management pays. The rea­ sons for the selections that were made for cutting stand out. for the most part, from stumps Snd remain­ ing trees. The direction of felling, the course of skidding, the canopy and the wind protection left in stands —these and many other features are worth studying.
