The Latest Poles Show Woodpeckers Hate Us!

Nothing strikes fear in the hearts of wilv woodpeckers and cunning carpenter ants like CHEMONTIE@ (a.k.a. ACZA). By penetrating wood o through pressure treatment, CHEMONTIE protects wood from damage caused by blistering beaks and boring bugs.

Tested in the field, CHEMOMIE treated poles have been proven to incur 7L% less woodpecker damage than other treated poles.* Laboratory results have shown that CHEMOIYITE is also extremely effective in preventing and repelling the attack of carpenter ants.**

Carpenter Ants WAIK OFF The Job!

In addition, CHEMONTrE protects wood against marine borers, temites and decay, and is in accordance with EPA and ArWPA standards.

CHEMONTIE does not effect wood's workability or strength, and actually increases its fire resistance.

So, add a new four-letter word to your vocabulary...your wood will be glad you did!

Spi Timberlands

Your July issue of The Merchant Magazine Qt. 41) contained a brief article entitled "SPI Converting Timberlands," which was based upon what I would assume to be a source other than Sierra Pacific Industries. I say this because we do not refer to our forest management practices as converting our lands to "plantations," as was the main theme of the article.

SPI is developing a 10O-year plan for the management of its L5 million acres of forests in Califomia. In addition to managing its lands under California's forest practice rules, which are the most stringent in the nation, SPI also adheres to the Sustainable Forestry Initiative, which results in harvesting no more than what grows in any given year while addressing environmental concerns.

Our computer-generated 10O-year plan is based on the combination of extensive forest inventory and environmental data and visually illustrates management plans for each of the company's watersheds in 10 year increments. This overall management plan promotes forest health (which will minimize the effects of wild fires). removal of inferior trees, growing several species of healthy trees at a faster rate, reforestation by planting seven trees for every one harvested and protection of water courses and wildlife habitat.

By developing such a comprehensive forest management plan, we can be assured that we'll have the resources for our manufacturing facilities for decades to come. No one realizes the fact that we must be good stewards of our lands more than we do.
