Dr. George W. Peavy, for 25
years dean of the school of fores­
try and for six years, president
of the Oregon State college, has
been elected president of Forest
Conservation, Inc> Dr. Peavy is
also mayor of Corvallis and vice-
president of the League of Ore-
gon Cities.
Forest Conservation, Inc.,
non-profit corporation. Its mem­
bers are loggers, owners of mills
or forest lands, foresters, and
others interested in the forest
crop. Its object is to promote
good forest practice, Sustained
yield management of forest land
is rather new in this country and
the process is not too familiar.
Forest industries furnish more
than half of Oregon’s industrial
payroll. Whether they know it
or not, something like half the
residents are directly or indirectly
dependent upon the forest pro­
ducts industries. That applies to
school teachers, filling station
operators and bankers, as well as
to loggers and sawmill operators.
Without this great enterprise,
Oregon would not now be much
of a state. Without it, future pro­
gress will be delayed.
The purpose of the Forest Con­
servation, Inc., is to present the
unvarnished facts to the public.
Dr. Peavy’s knowledge of the
fosest situation will be of immense
value to the state in this project.
E. H. Daniels has been engaged
as Managing Forester. Mr. Mac-
Daniels has spent a lifetime in
the forest industries, and for 33
years was connected with the U.S.
Forest Service, much of the time
in an administrative capacity.
Permanent offices of the organ­
ization are located in the Osburn
Hotel Eugene.
