Some Science Douglas firs want a clearing to grow in, while the West Coast hemlock thrives in shade. The rise of an even-aged stand of Deuglas fir seedlings can only be where fire or logging has left the soil considerably exposed to sunlight. As a dense stand of young Douglas fir grows on, and thins itself, hemlock, cedars and balsm firs begin to show as an understory, for they are “tolerant” of shade. So the picture of the start of “the cycle from Douglas fir to hemlock” was painted by Thorn ton T. Munger more than ten years ago in the science maga zine, "Ecology.” I have treasured a reprint of it all this time. I am told by experts that it re mains a sound and masterful piece of work, giving due credit to Allien, Judd, McArdle and others whose studies had led them to call Douglas fir “a tem porary type” of tree. That is, we probably have a Douglas fir forest today because of fires of centuries ago. The fires cleaned vast areas but left islands of seed trees of Doug las fir, the champion of champ ions for growth on clear, open forest land. As burn followed burn Western Washington and Oregon became the Douglas fir region. Stop fire and stop log ging both in the region and Douglas fir would gradually dis appear. This last is my picture, not Mr. Munger’s. He is a strictly scien tific observer. But even I don’t pretend to imagine how it all started in the first place. Five Centuries Mr. Munger tells that in its second hundred years the Doug las fir stand thins out consider- LEGAL NOTICE I ably.

Johnson Telephone 311 Vernonia Serv. Sta. Corner Rose and Bridge are no longer reaching higher for the sunlight, and one by one they die or meet serious injury or ills. No young Douglas firs can come up, for the big boughs up yonder are still too dense and too little light shifts down. The gaps are readily filled with hemlocks, cedars, lowland white firs and silver firs. At 400 or 500 years the Douglas firs are becoming de crepit and senile. The tops conk out. One falls, then another, and too many die standing, becoming the worst fire hazards of the forest. Mr. Munger had made many field studies before 1940, in the years when he was a silviculturist with the Pacific Northwest For est and Range Experiment Sta tion of the U. S. Forest Service. In his paper he cites cases that are most interesting from an old Wynoochee stand in Olympic Na tional Forests, a strip survey made in western Lewis County, Washington, the Wind River Val ley, Washington and sample plots in the Willamette National Forest, Oregon. On the Wynoochee for example, there was a stand of Douglas firs 590 years old, most of th-rn from 60 to 100 inches in diameter and from 250 to 275 feet tall. There were only 6 Douglas firs left to the acre. Under their boughs were 22 hemlocks that were over 16 inches in diameter, among many smaller hemlocks. No Doug las fir seedlings or saplings were in sight. The other case studies matched. Follow Through There have been some later papers published on this vital’ subject, of course, but none that have gripped so much attention as the Munger paper. I judge it For Grade A Pasteurized Dairy Products to have permanent value. It is mighty well organized, it is writ ten in simple, well-chosen words that the layman can understand without too much trouble and I doubt if its equal on the subject will be seen for many a year. What I’m hoping for is some thing of a joint project of the Puget Sound and Columbia River Sections of the Society of Ameri can Foresters for a reissue of "The Cycle from Douglas Fir to Hemlock,” with commentaries by later authorities in the field as factual additions to Munger’s invaluable work. I doubt if any revision would be called for in the paper itself. The additions would be to present what the years have brought in new know ledge and forest change.
