acres.
Of this total, 42.6 per cent, or
10,987,000 acres, is mature and
over-mature timber which has
largely ceased to grow, and 17 per
cent, or 4,383,000 acres, is poorly
stocked or has been cut over s'nee
1920.
The remaining 10,420,000 acres,
from which at least one crop has
already been harvested, is the real
producing area, and is divided as
follows: 12.5 per cent in growing
trees more than 16 inches in
diameter; 17 per cent in growing
stands from 6 to 16 inches in
diameter; and 10.9 per cent in
trees under 6 inches.
“The survey shows clearly that
the timber wealth of the region is
steadily increasing, “said Colonel

for the committee.
“Good forest management has
played an important part in this
increase, and as additional mature
timber is cut, new growth will be
permitted to start.
“In the past 15 years, the re­
corded timber growth in Washing­
ton and Oregon has increased ap­
proximately 50 per cent. In 1933
the growth of trees over 16 inches
in diameter was 2.5 billion feet a
year. In 1945 a resurvey showed
that the growth had jumped to
3.7 billion feet.
“In addition, several billion feet
of growth are being added annually
to trees less than 16 inches in
diameter—a growth volume which
present inventorying standards do
not include.
“The survev shows the encour-
aging results of better fir pro-
tection and cutting practices, both
of which are being constantly
improved.”

Electric Fence
Rules Listed
The increasing use of electric
fences and electric fence control­
lers has prompted the Nationel
Bureau of Standards to list safety
rules for their operation.
Easily and cheaply operated,
fences and controllers have proven
satisfactory for temporary and
permanent fencing. While either
plain or barbed wire may be
used, the latter type is preferred
because the barbs penetrate the
thick coat of animals which some­
times insulates them against
shock.
The wire may be at­
tached to porcelain insulators and
mounted on posts or stakes as far
as 50 feet apart.
set up by the National Bureau of
Standards:
No fence shall be energized from
any electric source except through
an approved controller.
Any electric fence or portion
thereof installed along a public
proved markings or sigr.s clamped
to the fence wire or fastened to
posts at intervals not greater than
200 feet.
An approve 4 marker shall be as
board, or other durable water­
proof material not le.^s than 4x8
inches, painted on both sides
with a pure chrome yellow back
ground the following text: “ELEC­
TRIC FENCE.’” The lettering of
the text shall be in black let -
ters not less than an inch high.
Other lettering, with letters not
more than five-eighths meh high,
may be placed on the reverse of
the side with the required letter-
