Billion-Plus Timber Management Agreement For 50 Years Proposed In California

San Francisco, March l.-Regional Forester Perry A. Thompson announced today the U. S. Forest Service proposes to establish a "cooperative sustained yield unit" at Woodleaf, Calif., vi'hich pool 1.7 billion feet of publicowned and privately owned timber in a lumber operation based on conservative forestry practice.

The proposed unit would assure a sustained yield of forest products from 106,000 acres of timberland, with the land maintained in productive condition perpetually. It would stabilize employment for about 175 wage-earners in the Woodleaf vicinity.

The agreement would run for 50 years (until 198). It would be the second such agreement betryeen government and industry in the United States undef:terms of the Sustained Yield Unit Act passed by Congress in 1944. The first unit was set up at Shelton, Wash., a year ago.

Under authority of that Act, said Regional Forester Thompson, the Forest service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture proposes to enter into a coopertaive sustained yield agreement with the Soper-Wheeler Company of Strawberry Valley, Calif., for coordinated management of the company's land and specified land in the Plumas National Forest, on a basis of sustained yield.

If established, the unit would be known as the Woodleaf Cooperative Sustained Yield Unit. The National Forest land within the unit bears an estimated 1,155,000,000 board-feet of timber. The Soper-Wheeler Company land bears an estimated 552,000,@0 feet. The lands are intermingled.

Milling would be done by the Sacramento Box and Lumber Company under an agreement with the Soper-Wheeler Company. Under this agreement "Sacramento Box" would operate the sawmill. About 175 persons will b'e employed in mill and woods.

Ordinarily, said Regional Forester Thompson, lumber companies owning timber land log it according to their own plans; timber on National Forest land suitable for logging is sold to lumber companies desiring to bid for it competitively and cut it under Forest Service supervision. Ih the proposed Woodleaf Cooperative Sustained Yield Unit, the Forest Service would appraise the value of timber on the National Forest land inside the unit and would sell it to the Soper-Wheeler Company without competition. In turn, the company would cut the timb'er on its own land inside the,unit under the same practices employed on Natiqnal Forest land.

For the information of other lumber companies and their employees, the Regional Forester gave assurance that the p:oposed unit does not include all National Forest timber in the vicinity of Woodleaf. He said the Forest Service rvill continue the sale on competitive bids of timber elsewhere on the Plumas National Forest and the 17 other national forests in California.

"The public should also know," said Mr. Thompson, "that the proposed unit will have no effect on private lands within the unit's boundaries, except the land owned by the Soper-Wheeler Company and the Sacramento Box'and Lumber Companv.
