Out of thc Woodr

By James Stcvcns WesternForertry...

Men of vision in the forest industries started the Western Forestry and C<lnservation Association for the I I Western states and itritish Coiumbia .i0 years ago. liimiiar groul)s of forest indtrstry owners and nranagers <lf the public forests u'ere fornred in other parts <tf the Western Forestry llattern-the Southern Forestry Congress, frlr examllle. In all sections there were large industrial orvners of forests rvho began to hold and protect their cutover lands after 190? inste:rd of going the old way of "cttt otlt an<l gct out." They rvere learrring from the foresters u'hat W. It. Greeley calls "faith in the land." And so the private timller ()\r'ners began to gron' trees for futr,tre harvests.

'l'here \\':rs m()ney it it, and foresters lrrotrght the fact honre to thern. For this llest of Atrrerican reilsons, m()re arl(l more lumllermen fell into the nrarch of forestry pr<lgress in the 1920's. lly that time a lot of loggers had gone through college b1' rvay of forestry school. I')ach year the schools rverc turning out "logging engirreers," rugged lads u'ho n'ere civil engineers and foresters both. The old-style bull of the u,oods frtund hinrself competing with the technically-trainecl forester for the top positions in the forest industries.

The 1949 Report

The tirrber transition from. a bull-team and strong-arttr logging industry t() one highly mechanized u'ent right along rvith the changes in forest land management. The passing of the timber beast became all lrut complete. The timller rnechanic, skilled, sober, commanding big wages' requiring good living conditions in camp, often wanting a home for his family there, stood forth as the typical woorlsman.

Also in the 1920's forest products research became a porverful branch of industrial forestry. Its great comnlercial success has been in plyrvood, pulp and paper, plastics and timber engineering. In terms of land use, the nerv forest products have increased the values of small timber and of such species as \Mest Coast hemlock, ouce a leftover of lumbering.

In a hundred important ways professional forestry, industrial management, timberland labor, farnters, government men and the public have made a steady march of progress together in the woods.

The reports to be made at the 1949 Annual Conference of the Western Forestry and Conserva;ion Association in Porttand, December 8-9-10, will ring with promise for the future of the West.

FarmForertry...

Young trees were weeds to loggers, from the loggirrg ..:.:::-i*+a-la-. .,\ ..lrir.! ryrer.:er or rlhictla-nrrnk Ctrtover itllrcl ltltCll(rClll !r, .r^l(i iia !4at!a wi ii iiiriiv i-grr:i. lands were thought to be good only for stump pastures or to lle cleared for farming. Farmers bttrned trees to grow grass. The old pioneer belief has been hard to kill. It renrains a major llrolllem of fire control in the I-ake States, the South and the West, despite the general progress of industrial forestry.

"l)on't talk tree farming to nle," many a marginal farmer rvill reply to the forester. "I won't be around 60 years fronr now when the seedlings have grown to sawtimber size. I llurn eaclt spring to bring on grass for pastttre."

T<xr often the burning of the fern patches sets fire going on the lands of others. After a few seasons the grass crop fails. On the other hand, where farmers have kept their l)()orer acres in trees the value of the land has risen with the annual grou'th <lf u'o<l<l on each tree.

There are now nrany specialists in farm forestry. In Washington indrrstry foresters have joined with farm foresters in a "More Trees for Washington" program of education t<l convince the farmers wh<l need convincing that trees only should be grown -on tree land and that tree crops can lle nrade to pay in various rvays. Farm forestry is likervise booming in Oregon.

Iiorestry is nou' in force all over the West.

Wishing

I would I were beneath a tree, A-sleepin' in the ahade With all thc bills I got to PaYPAID.

I would I were on yonder hill, A-baskin' in thc sun With all the work I got to doDONE.

Wish I were beside the sea Or sailing in a boat

With all the stuff I got to writeWROTE.

Yes It Does

"That makes a difference," said little Johnnie as he clipped a piece off the ear of one of his twin brothers.

Books

Gilbert Poretanus, Archbishop of Poitiers in the twelfth century, was once left alone for some time in a monastary, and, devoting himself to the freedom of the great library' he wrote these words about books:

"I sit here with no company but books, dipping into dainty honeycombs of literature. All minds in the world's history find their focus in a library. There is the pinnacle of the temple from which we may see all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them. I keep Egypt and the Holy Land in the closet next the window. On the side of them is Athens and the Empire of Rome. Never was such an army as I have mustered here. No general ever had such soldiers as I have. No kingdom ever had half such illustrious subjects as mine, or half as well governed. I can put my haughtiest subjects up or down as it pleases me, I call 'Plato!' and he answers 'Here!'-a noble and sturdy. soldier; 'Aristotle !' 'Here !' 'Caesar !' 'Tacitus,' 'Pliny'-'fls1s t' they answer, and smile at me in their immortality of youth.

"Modest all, they never speak unless spoken to. Bountiful all, they never refuse to answer. And they are at peace together. My architects are building night and day without the sound of hammer, my painters designing, my poets singing, my philosophers discussing, mY .historians and theologians weaving their tapestries, my generals marching without noise or blood. I hold Egypt in fee simple. I build, not a city but empires, at a word. All the world is around me, all that ever stirred hearts or fired the imagination, is harmlessly here. My library shelves are the avenues of time. Ages have wrought, generations grown, and all their blossoms aie cast down here. It is the Garden of immortal fruits, without dog or dragon."

Censorship

Watch every Etep, ye artists, Take care leet you ehould trip, And fall into the waiting arma, Of modern censorship.

Hide thou each thought of lovc, of sex, Of art ye must beware, Keep down, ye must not scale the hcights The censor watches there.

Let wisdom rot within thy brain, Yank out its tooth at once, Become the god of censorshiP; A meek and lowly dunce.

-Erle D. Parker.

Nothing But Quclity

During the recent war when jerry-built houses were all too common, the builder of such a house took a prospective buyer out to look at it. As they drove along the builder handed out tall talk about the splendid quality of the materials, the solid character of the walls, the permanency of the structure as a whole.

To demonstrate the sterling character of the construction the builder put the prospect in one room, then went into the adjoining room and closed the door between. Then he put his head close to the partition separating the two rooms, and in a voice just above a whisper, he said:

"Can you hear me?"

"Just barely," said the other.

"And can you see me?"

"No, I can't."

The builder opened the door with a confident smile, and said:

"Now that's what I mean by good, sound construction."

Epitaph To A Bee

Here sleeps, well recognized for sterling merit, A citizen of worth and public spirit; Successful in his chosen field was he, Day after day his golden wealth amassing, And gave mankind his splendid service free, And left the world the poorer for his passing.
