Expert Automobile Repairing or in Section 14 hereof, and any r EAGLE EDITORIALS RESOLVED: PURCHASE HOME PRODUCTS— THE COLUMBIA County Stockmens’ As sociation last Saturday adopted several resolu- tionh at the association meeting held at Yank ton. Of those resolutions, two stand out as directly related to the stockmen, for those resolutions seek direct aid and if widely fol lowed would prove an aid of great proportion. The first action was taken on a measure submitted by Canaan Grange. Purchases of imported .meat have been made when similar products are available from growers in the United States. The resolution opposed those purchases of foreign products. Also during the meeting attention was directed to the value of butter for which sub stitutes are often purchased. It was urged that “Those who consume butter are adding to the payrolls of the. farmers of Columbia county and the State of Oregon.” The association has always been respons ible for the adoption of measures which are of benefit to farmers of the county. The two resolutions are of that calibre for they relate to products which farmers and stockmen of the county produce—products which must be retailed if producers are to realize a profit necessary for them to continue producing. The purchase of substitutes or of pro ducts from other sources than those of this country is detrimental to home industry and any action taken to overcome the detriment is an action of favorable purpose. INCREASED BUSINESS AT THE POST OFFICE— THE RECENT check made with figures of the past year’s business of the Vernonia post office gave information of an increase for that period. The post office business, when showing a gain, usually means a gain for other types of business in that community. Considering the country as a whole the nation’s business has been on an upgrade dur ing 1939 and indications are that a continued upgrade will be experienced during 1940. It is to be hoped that those indications are true and that the gain will be experienced in this community as in others. ------------------------------------------------------------- j Vernonia taele MARVIN KAMHOLZ, Editor and P ublisher Entered as second class mail matter, Augus 4, 1622, at the post office in Vernonia, Ore gon, under the act of March 3, 1879.

Official newspaper of Vernonia, Oregon 0 R f tloAÍJIÍ S(F^P f R PUBLISljfk^ Ms U tfl AT I ON CUT THE TREES AND HAVE THEM TOO— A RECENTLY printed article tells of a system that has been placed in action in part of the pine tree belt of the South where high speed methods of logging had cleared much land of any stand of timber it had and was due to clear remaining acres within a short time., The system is known as “sustained yield” and was started 14 years ago by two men, Leslie Pomeroy and Eugene Connor. Re printing a portion of the article will give an idea of the system as it is practiced in the South: “Sustained yield means cutting only as much timber as normal growth replaces every year, in contrast with the old American cus tom of mowing forests down. Pomeroy and Connor have checked timber devastation on thousands of acres, and saved whole commun ities from becoming ghost lumbering towns. But more important, these practical foresters have demonstrated what few conservationists dreamed possible: that more money can be made through sustained yield than by ruth less ‘cut and get out’ methods. Big lumbering companies were cutting timber at a rate that would soon leave none for the future. Once removed from the soil a new stand of timber would not be produced, for 30 y,ears. The system devised by the two men was known as “pine-tree banking.” “The plan is simple. Take a typical “de positor,” Mrs. Rolf Anderson, a widow with 300 acres of timber. Mrs. Anderson agrees to sell whatever timber is cut from her lan.l to Pomeroy and Connor at the market price. In return they manage her woodland for sustain ed yield as they would their own. When Mrs. Anderson needs a little money Pomeroy and Connor cut a few pines and send her a check.” “Pomeroy and Connor base their sustain ed yield plan on experience plus a simple arith metical formula. Examining a stand of timber, they decide that it can profitably be logged once every five years. To determine how many, of the trees to be cut at each logging, they chop down the largest tree and count its rings. If the tree is 82 years old, it means that timber, in this particular soil, reproduces itself about once every 80 years. Eighty div ided by a cutting every five years is 16 cuttings. Therefore, in this stand they can take out six per cent of the trees at each cutting—and do so indefinitely without dim inishing the supply. And if this formula is combined with selective logging and elimina- tion of defective or slow-growing trees, they can remove even more than six per cent at each cutting and still leave the stand perman ently stocked. “On a tour of his forest, Pomeroy point ed to three trees. Each of those trees is grow ing about 10 board feet a year. If we cut one, th'e other two will quicken their growth and we still get 30 board feet of growth a year— perhaps more.” As stated above, the system is one that has been worked out in the pine belt of the South. Forests provide a livelihood here for many although those forests are of fir. The fir is repidly disappearing through speedy 'methods of cutting to result eventually in land denuded of its timber stands. When that stage is reached, those who have made their livelihood from the cutting of timber must seek other means of providing their needs. The land that has produced the timber has become worthless at the moment for that pur pose and will not regain its use for a period of years. True, the fir is a different tree than the pine. However, could not a system be develop such person who may encourage or ed that would provide a sustained yield on urge any dog to attack or worry any person engaged in enforcing fir-producing lands as well as pine?
