New Booklet --"West Coast Tree Farms"
The timber future of the Pacific Northwest is described pictorially in a 26-page booklet, "West Coast Tree Farms," just published by the West Coast Lumbermen's and Pacific Northwest Loggers Associations.
Told in full through the medium of selected photographs plus a series of drawings by Arthur Bimrose, Oregon artist, is the story of the origin and development of the 2,524,693 acres of Tree Farms in Western Oregon and Washington.
"Tree Farms," the booklet explains in a brief foreword, "grow timber. Year after year, without stopping, they produce the forest crops which mean jobs and payrolls and community stability. They mean lumber, paper, plywood and other forest products for America forever.

"Tree Farms are not 'just a name'; they're not a fad. A Tree Farm is a practical business venture, and is expected to pay its way. Tree Farms are designed to permit the greatest possible harvest, on a permanent basis, from our timber lands."
The booklet recalls that the Tree Farm movement, which originated in the Douglas fir region of Washington and Oregon, is now nationwide, with more than 14,000,000 acres of Tree Farms in 12 states. Copies of the booklet may be obtained by writing the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, 1410 S. W. Morrison Street, Portland 5, Oregon.
