WITHSTANDS TEST OF TIME Simple hand tools and
rough pins boards make this Colonial Hutch easy to build
at home. Versatile and attractive, it has been a popular
addition to any home from colonial times through the
present. ,
Colonial Day Wood Items
Still Are Popular Today
The Colonial Hutch illustrated
provides ample proof the do-it-yourself
movement was as popu
lar during colonial times as it is
today. With simple hand tools
and rough pine boards, settlers
created and built furniture to
serve many different needs. A
visit to Williamsburg, Va., pro
vides ample proof of the endur
ing appeal, versatility and at
tractiveness of these pieces.
Since they are as popular now
as in Colonial times, the design
t and usefulness has withstood the
test of time.
Measuring 34" x 60", the top
permits using as a table in the
kitchen or family room, living or
playroom. The large space be
neath the, seat provides ideal
storage for fireplace logs, while
doubling as a fireside bench.
When installed in an entrance
hall or porch, the cabinet pro
vides a perfect catch-all for
overshoes, sporting equipment,
games and toys. No matter
where it's used, it serves long
and well.
The pattern offered below tells
exactly how to build the table
in step-by-step procedure every
one can understand. All materi

able in lumberyards every

Sustained Yield Plan
Guards Area Forests
By NORMAN COULD
Forest products produced in
the Klamath Basin are many
and varied, but alt of these
products come from the natural
resource timber. In the termi
nology of the forester or the
lumberman, standing trees or
timber are e a U e d stumpage.
Trees or stumpage, as well as
lumber, are measured in units
of thousands of board feet. A
typical ponderosa pine tree 36"
in diameter and about !20 feet
tail wmild contain approximate
ly 2.dbo hoard feet of lumber
when sawed at the mill. An av
erage trucktoad of logs travel
ing the highways in the Basin
might contain 8,000 board feet of
logs. The major species of trees
used by Klamath Basin mills are
Ponderosa pine, Douglas f i r,
and Sharta red fir.
The Winema National Forest
and some oilier large timber
land owners manage their tim
ber under a sustained yield
program. Simply put, tins
means that the forest manager
selects an amount of ripe tim
ber for cutting each year, equal
to the amount of timber which
grows on his land each year.
The determination of how
much timber may be cut from
an area in one year is an inter
esting process First, a timber
inventory is made. By a samp
ling process, the forester deter
mines how many thousands of
board feet he has on his land
and the age and condition of this
limber. The sampling procedure
also tells the forester what
growth he may expect in his
stand of timber. The forester
must consider the economics of
removing and sawmilling vari
ous types and grades of logs
into lumber. Logs too small in
size, or with an abundance of
rot. are presently not economic
to haul to the sawmill and cut
into boards. As operating costs
drop, or when wood technology
improves, more of present day
uneconomic logs may be hauled
and sawed in the mpls. After
the forester analyzes all of the
data taken from an inventory,
he arrives at' an allowable an
nual cut measured in board feet.
The national forest lands in
the Klamath Basin, made up of
the Winema and a part of the
Fremont National Forest and
called the Klamath Basin Work-
! tag Circle, presently have an al
lowable annual cut of 183,000,
000 board feet, A re-inventory ot
these lands was recently com
pleted and calculations are being
made at this time in order to
develop a new allowable cut
When this determination of al
lowable cut is made, it will re
main in effect for the next ten
years and, at the end of this pe
riod, a new inventory and a new
calculation will be made.
The forester's job of marking
individual trees for cutting in or
der to'market the allowable cut
has an objective of improving
the growth of the stand of
timber. A healthy young stand
of pole-steed trees may grow as
much as 300 board feet per acre
per year, in contrast, an over
ripe, diseased stand of trees may
have no n?t growth because var
ious tree diseases and insects
kill enough timber to exceed the
jjrou-ih eacts vear.
