Tree Plonting Continued ot High Level

Tree planting in the United States surpassed 2 million acres during 1960 for the second successive year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture arnounced today.

A summary of reports from USDA'S F'orest Service field offices, State foresters and other Federal departments shows 2,737,460 acres were planted. Acreage planted to trees in 1959 was 2,!57,743.

About 600,000 acres, or between 25 and 30 percent of the land planted, was cropland placed in the Conservation Reserve prograrn under lO-year contracts. Under the Conservation Reserve, farmers receive cost-sharing help to place in conservation uses land voluntarily retired from crop production.

A decrease in Conservation Reserve plantings occurred in one class of planting. Acreage planted to forest trees by small woodland owners in 196O was 12 percent less than in 1959, when small private ownership forest planting came to 1,389,968.

"The efrort of conservationists, forestry organizations, and forest industry with the help of local, State, and F ederal governments needs to be directed toward stimulating more planting on small woodland holdings," said Richard E. McArdIe, Chief of the Forest Service.

"A tenfold increase in planting on these small holdings is needed to eliminate the backlog in the acreage needing planting in this ownership group by the year 1970. This is a big order. Our present rate of planting has been little more than the replacing of trees depleted by cutting, fire, insects, and disease."

Tree planting stock was plentiful in 1960 in most States and is now adequate to plant many more acres than were planted in fiscal years 1959 and 1960, Chief McArdle stated.

45O tlills listed In'61 WPA Directory

Portland-More than 450 mills are listed in the newly published 1961 membership directory of the Western Pine Association. The 28-page books is also the lumber trade's buying guide to sources for Western Pine Region lumber products, and includes listings on each mill for species, products, capacities, plant and sales ofrce locations, as well as seasoning, branding and unitizing serwices.

Thus it also bears the title "WPA Sources of Supply."

The Association's member mills, representing approximately 400 separate companies, are located in the big 12-state Western Pine Reg:ion. The total industry annually produces about one-third of the nation's softwood lumber output.

Symbol of the modern technology being put to work by the industry's manufacturing operations is the dramatic cover of the directory. A full-color picture shows a grab-lift truck transferring a unitized load to a railroad car. It is backed by a color photo of of lumber ready for the dry kiln (the industry has an annual dry kiln capacity of more than six billion board feet).

Utility grade lumber, with its high use for low cost values featured, receives colorful treatment on the back page, including a full-color photograph of the WPA framing grade in various widths.

The directory may be obtained free of charge by writing to the Western Pine Association, Yeon Building, Portland 4, Oregon.
