Legion hall. 51t2c Truck and Tractor The tractor and the logging truck have restored small busi ness investment to timber opera tions in the Pacific Northwest. Literally thousands of men—and some women too—from farms and hourly-wage jobs have been able to finance their own ven tures in the timber. Many have failed, even under conditions highly favorable to them. Others move from logging center to log ging center, like the crop camp ers of agriculture, contracting for the logging of farm and other smail timber acreages. The majority of small logging enterprisers have relationships with large sawmills and wood- pulp producers that keep them substantially rooted in their home areas. A number own forest acres which wei 8 bought in the 1930s, when stump and young tree land was actually cheap as dirt but is now bearing trees of merchantable sizes. Salvage Logging on Burn and Farm Another phase of small enter prise in the woods is on old burns and on farm forest lands. On the latter millions of board feet of sound Western red cedar have been reclaimed from trees, stumps and logs that were left in old time logging operations. Doug las fir snags, remains of forest giants that died as far back as 1900, have been found with good plywood material under their rinds of rot. One example, oi my personal knowledge, was sold for $2,500 at the mill, another for $750. Such examples are most common.

In Washington many hemlock stands that were left in the 1920s are now being log ged. Small logging contractors also serve conservation plus con. version in the pre-logging and re-logging phases of modern tim ber harvesting in the Pacific Northwest. Re-Logging and Pre-Logging In contrast to the giant ma- chinery and equipment of the railroad logging of the 1920s, the 1940s saw standard lines of light logging rigs in manufac ture for the conversion of stand ing timber into merchantable products. A striking illustration is the carefully controlled logging on Seattle's Cedar River watershed. In the dens ■ and towering old growth the Douglas fir is domi nant but there are heavy under stories of tall cedars and hem locks of sizes down to pulpwood. A small logging contractor moves into a given stand first with spe cial equipment and snakes out cedars as pole stock for the Seattle City Light Department. Two large lumber and pulp com. panies combine in the main har vesting operations. Then the slashings are gleaned by a group of enterprisers who do all of their own labor for hemlock pulpwood. One team of brothers, war ve terans, have used a farm truck and a made-over Sherman tank for their re-logging enterprise, gleaning pulpwood. Such deals are commonly uneconomic for big-scale logging companies ' but are suited to the means and equipment of the contractor who is self-employed in the woods.
