BILLBOARD
Some time ago I was expound
Sng on a trip through Northern
California's forest lands as a guest
of the 6hasU Cascade Logging Con.
ference on their annual newsmens
tour. A couple of columns elicited
the following letter from ftobert
Meager of the Timber Management
' Service. I run it here as another
step in the forestry presentation
program which I so firmly believe
must come if we are to under
stand and through understanding
utilize our forest resources.
Bab Is speaking as a profession
al forester and using some lang
uage that I don't always under
stand, but at least it is interest
ing. So, here's what he had to
aay:
I was quite pleased at the Im
pressions left with Bill Jenkins by
the Shasta-Cascade Logging Con
ference aa evidenced by the Bill
board on July 26 and August 3.
Mr, Jenkins expressed a' wish that
the forestry program of the coun
try be presented to the public in
such a way as to create better
understanding and I certainly
agree that this1 Is very necessary
In fact, one of the cannons pi the
Code of Ethics for the Forestry
Profession stales that a forester
. will strive lor correct and Increas
ing knowledge of forestry and the
dissemination of this knowledge.
Nevertheless. It is difficult when
speaking of forestry to avoid be
ing vague since conditions are so
variable. Blanket statements re
garding forestry are dangerous If
not impossible to make, not oniy
do oractlces vary as timber stand
' composition, density, age. vigor
,' and other physical factors vary but
. forestry practices are irequenuy
controlled by economic conditions.
On the other hand, it must be re
membered that economio condi
tions In a forested area are to
more or less a degree controlled
by the productivity of forest lands.
I should like to take this oppor
tunity, therefore, to make a few
statements regarding this vague
thlrur called forestry in-so-fur as
timber prodaction Is concerned.
Forestry Is more than harvest
ing a final crop of trees; It Is
more than protection of timber
and forage from fire. Insects, and
disease; it la more than planting
trees; It la more than conservation
In fact, I do hot recall having
even heard the word "conserva
tion'' during my entire training as
a forester. What then, Is forestry?
It Is defined by the Society of
American Foresters In their publi
cation Forestry Terminology as
"the scientific management of for
ests for the continuous production
of goods and services." simple,
Isn't it? Any definition, however,
br the very nature of Its brevity
usually leaves much to be desired
in tne complete understanding oi a
term.
Forestry Is a science dealing
with the physiology, anatomy, and
ecology of trees, ecology being the
relationship between a plant and
its environment. Forestry Is an
, art the art of applying those prac
tices based on scientific data which
: will achieve certain desired results.

quantity and quality control as are
other production enterprises, al-
though based on a much longer

ever, Is unique as a production

themselves, are subject to liquida
tion through direct conversion into
the finished product.
Consequently, forestry, too, Is

lng answers as rapidly as is pos
sible with a long term crop such

Throughout the western part of
the United States a general feeling
quite naturally prevails that for.
estry must necessarily be confined
10 government agencies and big
companies. A quick look at some
national statistics reveal, however,
that forestry very likely must be
applied to small forest holdings if
the timber economy of our nation
is to be maintained.
Area of Commercial Forests In
the United States by ownership
uiasses: -
Large Private (5.000 acres or
larger) B4 million acres, 18 per
cent or total; Small Private (Un
der 5,000 acres! 201 million acres,
57 per cent of total; Total Private,
345 million acres, 75 per cent of
total; Total Public (national, state
and countyi 116 million acres, 25
per cent of total; Total, 461 mil
lion acres, 100 per cent.
Of the total commercial forest
area of the United States, 77 per
rent la east of the Rocky Moun
tains, and practically all of this
east of tha Great Plains, m gen
eral, average productivity of pri
vate land is probably somewhat
higher than government land, and
the productivity of forest lands In
the East win average somewhat
higher than In the West, so that
potential production Is not direct
ly proportional to the commercial
land area presented above.
Another, popular misconception
or forestry is that when the old-
growth timber is gone, opportuni
ties for forestry are gone. This
concept Is completely the reverse
oi tne actual truth. Only as na
tural stands of high oualltv old-
growth timber are removed does
it become feasible to think In terms
or forestry in the complete sense
of the word. The West, being the
last, frontier of old-growth timber
in the United States, should take
heed of the mistakes of other re
gions of the country and make ev
ery effort to provide for an orderly
transition from old-growth to sec-ond-growth
stands In order that
there will be a minimum of dis
ruption and shock to forest indus
tries and dependent communities.
Here, then, are two grave mis
conceptions concerning forestry

these misconceptions can only be
rectified by a mass shift in public
opinion. These are (1) Small forest

undesirable something to get rid

WASHINGTON The Demo
cratic and Republican parties very
likely will spend a whopping six
million dollars between them to
carry the 1956 presidential cam
paign arguments Into millions of
American homes by television.
Advance estimates indicate tele
vision will be the largest single
Hem In the campaign budgets.
Each party will spend about double
the amount spent in 1952. The
money will come from the treasur
ies of the rational committees,
state committees and allied citizen
groups.
By law, the national committees
may collect and spend only three
minions each in financing the en
tire campaign. But each party can
sidestep this limitation by having
state organizationa and citizens'
groups plok up the checi.
The Republicans already are
dickering with the national net
works for favorable TV spots next
fall, particularly in the last six
weeks of the campaign. The best
times are tne evening hours.-
The Democrats say they haven't
yet begun negotiations with the net
works, but they also will reserve
time far in advance of the cam
paign stretch drive.
Party leaders In 1952 had little
or no experience with television

The condition described by the
correspondent sounds .like- a par
ticular variety of spinal arthritis
which Is much more common In
young men than In women, and
comparatively rare in the older
years.
This form of arthritis which
goea under several names does
usually progress at an extremelv
slow rate to stiffness and the con

as "poker spine."

lack of experience was expensive.
In the hc-at of the campaign, criti
cal times arise when party leaders
consider It worth almost any price
to get their story to the people
quickly and dramatically. But it's
a costly thing to buy TV time on
short notice because it means pay
ing a "pre-emption" fee to the
producers who gave up the time-
In addition to the regular network
costs.
Some TV network sources have
estimated tnat In 1952 the Republi
cans spent more than $230,000 in
buying up expensive time on short
notice. Such a moment came when
Republicans rushed Richard Nixon
mow the vice president) ;o the
air waves to explain a campaign
fund given to him by a group of
private citizens.
' The democrats had their own
emergencies but their extra costs
weren't as heavy as those of the
Republicans. And It is no secret
that the Democrats must hoard
their money a good deal more
carefully than the Republicans.
Both ' narties face the. problem
of heavier costs for TV time.- In
1952, a half hour on one network
coast-to-coast cost about $32,000.
according to one source at 'COP

more TV stations In the network,
the cost next year will be Just

are other kinds of artli-

which can. occur in the spine. In
a lew , like tuberculous arthritis
the cause Is definitely known and
the treatment pretty well stand
ardized.
In others the cause Is both un
known and the best treatment un

One form of arthritis of the
spine is that which is fairly com
mon In elderly peoplevand In peo
ple who are overweight. This is
a soft of bone degeneration and
Is not accompanied by true In
flammation. Frequently this variety of arth
ritis does not produce any serious
symptoms and can merely be con
sidered a sign of advancing years.

however, there Is no good method
of restoring the spinal Joints com
pletely to normal.
Tne treatment must therefore.
be aimed at relieving the symp
toms of pain and stiffness inso
far as that is possible.
a oack brace can be helofui.
The use of a stiff mattress or a
board under the mattress is also
commonly recommended. Some
times heat massage, or other
measures of physical therapy
bring about considerable relief.
In most, a spinal arthritis Is
an unpleasant disability only and
not a danger to life or general

NEW YORK W With the sun
balanced on the equator business
enters a new season today. Busi
ness has had a good summer and
In spite of the almost general anti
cipation of continuing good times
in the fall and winter seasons, there
are plenty of conflicts looming.
There's almost sure to be some
name colling between those wno
hold that good times and easy
credit go together and those who
want to stretch prosperity into
next year by going a little slower
the rest of this year.
Politicians will talk the loudest
concerning what to do about farm
income and farm surpluses. But
businessment will be divided on
that question, too. Those selling
products to farmers wHl be ner
vous about any drop in farm in
comes. And others will worry about
tne load on tne economy caused
by price supports oi farm products.
. Business also will be split over
the question of U.S. tariffs and
the trade problems of our Western
European allies. Any decisions
along those lines will affect some
industries directly, and others In-
directly through taxes.
The hope for tax cuts burns
bright as businessmen start mak
ing plans for next year. But a
bitter conflict over which should
come first, a balanced budget or
a lax cut, will divide businessmen
just as it will politicians. There'll
also be a big comlict over which
class ol citizens should benefit the
most from tax cuts.
Within business ranks will be
quite a struggle over costs versus
prices. Rising labor rates and
price hikes on material, parti
cularly metals, to sending operat
ing costs up. The question is how
much of this can be passed alon r
to the consumer befoie sale? drop
uu. ii prices non t rise, and the
factory absorbs the higher costs,
stockholders may find their hopes
oi nigner dividends lading.
To keep business go'r.g at Its
present rate, merchants and mann.
facturers are likely to lean heavily
on promotions. Competiiion is no.

SAFEWAY STORE
NEW YORK I Practically
everybody alive today sooner or
later will meet millionaire and
feel worried about it.
It was feared for a time that
millionaires would die out in this
civilization, that they would go the
way ol the dodo or the extinct
passenger pigeon.
Happily, it hasn't worked out
that way. The millionaire class
has proved a hardy breed. If mil
lionaires aren't quite multiplying
like the rabbit, they are at least
increasing faster than the whoop
ing crane.
The average person, told he is
30ing to meet a millionaire for
tne tirst time, finds his heart sud
denly beating a bit faster.
i "How shall I act?" he asks.
"What shall I say to him?"
Nervously, he thumbs through
his wife's etiquette book. He finds
! uo help there. Oddly, no etiquette
writer ever thinks to Include a
chapter on "The Care ond Proper
Treatment of Millionaires."
- This is a strange oversight in
deed. Tne etiquette writers seem
to have the idea that you should
treat a millionaire just as you
would any other social equal. Tney
are on Ihe right track here, bu
they don't go far enough, Million
aires are even more equal than
your other social equals.
A nclplul thing to remember is
that, while you are uneasy at the
prospect oi meeting the million
aire, he may be even more un
easy over meeting you. A million
aire always has the uneasy leel-
,ng someone is trying to get at
his mo.iey, and how does he know
you aren't, too? (As a matter of
fact, he is probably rlsht. Who
ever met a millionaire withuut the
wild secret hope he could help the
fellow share the burden of his
wealth? i
Here are a few time-tested tips
on how to get along with a million
aire:
1. When you lirst shake hands
with him, avoid staring at his
right hand hip pocket. It will only
make him more nervous if your
eyes go instantly to where you
think he keeps his wallet. (You'd
be wrong anyway. All veteran mil
lionaires carry their wallet in their
inside coat pocket, where they can
reach in and pat it gently from
time to time.)
2. If you are at a bar, insist
on buying the first round o drinks
yourself. This will throw him oil
guard, and he' will begin to relax.
3. Talk about harmless topics
like politics, sex and the weather.
When a millionaire wants to talk
about money, he likes to be the
one who brings up the subject.
4. Don't make ridiculous, re
marks like, "Well, alter all, money
won't buy everything." The mil
lionaire knows you aren't in a
position to say whether this is
really true or not. He is.
5. If you have an inside tip on
a new stock or a horse race, pass
it on to him at once. It will please
him to know you are interested
in seeing him get ahead.
6. Never ask him where is the
safest place to keep money. He
may be hiding his hi the crotches
of trees and become suspicious
that you arc trying to find out his
secret. '
7. If a millionaire tells you the
only road to wealth Is by hard
work, don't laugh out loud even
though you know he inherited his
own riches. Look impressed. He
may be right. (II you don't think
inheriting money Is hard work,
just sit down right now and try to
inherit some yourself.)
8. It is unwise to ask him how
many millions he really has. If
he only has one. It will embarrass
him. If he has more, than one, he
won't tell you anyway.
9. Should you number several
millionaires among your acquaint
anceship, . avoid mentioning the
fact. Every millionaire iikes to feel
he is the only millionaire In your
me.
10, Many people in the presence
of a millionaire feel on overwhelm
ing urge to praise the income tax.
Fight down this temptation or
you'll find yourself all. alone talk
ing to' yourself.
There is one other rule worth
remembering: People who really
have money usually let It talk for
them. If a guy at your dinner
table brags he's a millionaire, be
sure to count the spoons before he
leaves.

Naturallv when we talk of ag
riculture we will eventually come
to the problem of food which is
ihe base of all agricultural prob
lems. Man is the only animal
that does not have Mother Nature
prepare bis food supply for him.
Man is the only creature for whom
nature has no adeouate food. Now
I know that you may think that
this la a brash statement, lor did
not man in a state of savagery,
exist merely from plucking the
fruits of the land, or, let's say the
Garden of Eden? Perhaps so, In
some dim remote past so far back
in history that even arcneoiogists
have not yet discovered but the
popular notion of such a Utopian
existence apparently fairs before
reality for even in the so-cauea
lush growing areas of the tropics
man still finds it necesary to
cook and prepare his food.
The cultivation of plants, the
domestication of animals, and the
art of cooking are extremely an
cient undertakings which have
played an important role in the
development of mankind. When
grasshoppers, the vanished buffalo,
or present day herds of deer in
crease in numbers their food sup
ply decreases. When, through the
lark of food their f30d supply de
creases, and starvation or disease
reduces the animol population,
then their food supply Increases
as the population Is reduced, af
ter which the animal population
again Increases.
Man occupies a different status
if all the people of this world
wouid suddenly move to Mars, the
amount of human food would
quickly become negligible. If, af
ter 40 months sojourn upon the
planet Mars, the population of the
earth decided to return to the
green planet, not a tenth part of
tnem would find food upon their
return.
' The great bread grain, wheat,
wouia proDaoiy nave become ex
tinct and lost to man forever:
perhaps also, rice, barlev and
maize. In the case of animals oth
er than man the greater the popu
lation the less food they have to
eat. me more men there are the
more food there is.
The world's food supply Is
simple one. It consists In main
taining the quantity per capita and
increasing the quality of the food
supply, it is not possible to in
crease the food supply greatly be
yond the immediate needs of the
population, because many food
products deteriorate rather rapid
ly, while with othe's, the cost
of storage is too gre.U. A funda
mental fact that we f jday are be
ginning to learn to r embarrass
rnemt. It is possible, as we are
beginning to learn, to so improve
the efficiency of food production
that the proportion of the people
engaged in food production can be
greatly reduced and thus re
lease the rest of the oooulation
for other essential and unessential
activities. Great progress has al
ready been made In this direction.
A , thousand , years ago, nine
tenths of the people of the world
were engaged In the production of

they might -'obtain' It. Today the
problem . is entirely changed the
world over, perhaps - only quar

them have forgotten to pray for
it. It is so incidental to their ma

same way for at least three them,
and years or more and starvation
upon a global scale is still tomor

lieved that the point of sa.ur lim

fairs if they had placed emphasis
upon the future need of fuel and

the dismal predictions of famine
in fuel and wood appear to be
equally as nebulous when the prob

genuity. There has never been a period
in history, so far as we know,
when the variety, quality and regl
ularity of the supply of food of
the world has been as satisfactory
as during the last half century.
This is particularly true of the

is also true for the oriental world,
