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.

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?
