Redwood District Now Cut
ting, Annual Increase
Only
A great change has come over
the attitude of practical lunmber
mon toward forestry In the last
few years, according to the Na
tional Lumber Manufacturers' as
sociation. The law of supply and,
demand has begun to have its ef
fect and lumbermen who formerly
could.see .no business Incentive in
reforestation are now taking it tip
us a dollars and cents proposition.
The great distance of the bulk oT
the remaining heavy stand of lim
ber from the main markets, and the
increasing price of forest products
are mainly responsible for this
change of attitude. The, Western
Vrtroctrv nnrt Pnnservflttnh Associa
tion, which is a protective, organi
zation of timber owners of the
North Pacific region, has estab
lished a forestry research and ad
visory bureau which Ib now making
studies of the" practicability of re
forestation for many of its mem
bers who own ; hundreds of thous
ands, of acres of forest land "In the
aggregate. This work has pro
ceeded far enough to indicate that
a large proportion of the present
and future cut-over land in Wash
ington and Oregon, especially west
reforestation basis.
About 80 per cent of the red
wood lumber production of, Cali
fornia is now coming . from the
lands of timber owners who have
definitely committed themselves to
a policy of perpetual liimbering In
volving continuous reforestation. It
is now considered certain, that the
redwood region need never cut less
lumber than at present. .
The Southern Pine association,
the great organization of manufac
turers of southern pine lumber, at
Us recent annual meeting In New
Orleans, declared most emphatis
ally for reforestation on private
lands wherever practicable,.. .About
twenty-five leading southern "pine
manufacturers have already begun,
or are now planning, to put their
operations on a perpetual basis.
One of the greatest groups of
lumber manufacturers In the United
States Is that of the Weyerhaeusers,
representing 50 to 60 different
companies. They Imve. recently .or
ganized a million dollar corpora
tion for the sole purpose of dealing
with the problem 'of reforestation.
Thousands pf small timber owners,
estate, owners and farmers are in
troducing forest management.. More
than a million acres- have been
planted by private owners, to say
nothing of the vastly larger areas
that are naturally reforesting under
systematic protection .from fires.

The Hades method has been In no

years, . It Is, stated, The . Uodos
method of lumber cutting effects o
saving of approximately 10 per cent
In lumber, and increases the cut ot
"clear'' lumber 25 to 40 per coin, it
is stated. The logs are cut parallel
with the bark, rather than with the
heart, and thus the lumber next to
the "bark Is' saved, while only thu
heart,. Is tapered. This results
In strnlghter grain, which makes
lumber, of a. much higher grade,
points out .Mr. Page. This system ii
now In use by 500 mills in the
south and west, says Mr. i, and
the saving, "''which amounts to a
large figure in conservation ot na

VIRTUES OF CALIFORNIA
WHITE AND SUGAR PINES
Natural advantages of noil, cli
mate and altitude combine to make
California AVhlto Pine trees the larg
est of the species. (Plnns ponder
osa). California Sugar Pino (Plnas
Lanibe'rtiana) ,1s the largest ot hll
pfnes. Trees are found In tho Cali
fornia district measuring 2.10 feet
high and 12 feet In diameter. From
J to 6 logs, 16 feet In length, usual
ly produce 1000 board foot of lum
ber, while this amount Is often ob
tained from even one or two logs.
These big pine logs yield a large
percentage of upper grade lumber,
an average y-leld being:
California White Pino, No. 2 Shop
and-bolter, 35 46 . . ,
, California Sugar Pino, No. 2 Bhop;
and. better, 4B0.
MbrooVer, 'greater thicknesses,
wider wicTths and a larger percent
age of the desirable lengths come
from , these California Pino .logs.
Fully) 85 of the cut In No. 2 Shop
and Better Is six-quarter and thick
er. Random shipments front mills
will average 12 Inches, with over
00 18 foot lengths. This permits
tito te-worker to rip and cross-cut
to the best advantage. Because the
big California trees have little tap
er, the lumber is straight-grained;
ii nil the slow growth nnd long life
of these species produce a fine, soft,
uniform texture.. Cuttings from this
soft-tcxtufod, straight-grained .lum

BAKER INVENTOR
INTRODUCES NEW

Renders Unloading Easier
and Safer; Called Com

UAKKIl, 'Oregon Despite tho

the binding chain nnd the stake with
one action, allowing the entire load
of logs to roll from the car with
out thu customary hazardous work
of cutting the wooden stakes ordln

In eliminating tho dnngcr from

cars are nil too common. ,
Mr. Lolshnmn claims for J ho sisko
that it will more than pay tor It
