More Wood Reseqrch Promised
Stepped up wood product and marketing research was forecast by Chief of the Forest Service Edward P. Clitr in a speech December 12 at Seattle, Wash., the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported.
At the 53rd Western Forestry Conference, Chief Clifi said that because of the inroads made by competing products, more fundamental research on wood was needed, ooparticularly in wood chemistry and more diversified and improved solid wood products."
He called for additional marketing research to learn more about trends in forest product consumption and more about consumer preference "and how best to meet the needs with what we have or can devise." Pointing out that wood has many tough competitors, Chief Clifi said "these inroads will continue and intensify without stronger wood utilization and marketing research."
Plans for increased Federal forestry research were orrtlined by the chief forester. A ten-year expanded research plan, still under consideration by the Agriculture Department, would "accelerate both basic and applied research in the five basic forest and range resources--timber, water, forage, wildlife habitat, and recreation.
This overall program envisions additional Federal assistance to States in forestry research. This was authorized by the recently enacted Mclntire-Stennis Act, which provides for Federal payments to the States on a matching basis.
The new cooperative research help will be available to all the States and Puerto Rico and is to be done at eligible colleges and universities, Chief Clifi said.
He emphasized how stepped-up forestry research, in such fields as outdoor recreation and better use of low-value trees, could help rural communities improve their economies under the growing Rural Areas Development program.
