When you think of so much good being done with cull logs, E,conomy lumber and plywood peeler cores, and maybe wonder about it, think also of the good being done with goats. The goat is no comic animal to the South Koreans. Every widow who has been given a goat has kept it as a regular source of nutrition-sometimes as a source of income, too. The female kids are given to other families, to be reared into milk producers. Similar livestock projects have been started with pigs and poultry. A bean-curd business, a sewing shop, and a laundry are examples of private enterprise among the war-ruined refugees of Kunsan. Looks like a mighty good place to ship a few jags of

The entire facilities of Springfield Cedar Company, East Oakland, were taken over by Alfred McCausland and Wilburn Roberts April 4. They will operate the plant under the name of K-D Terminal. Facilities include kilns with a total capacity of over 40O,@0 BM per charge, 3 spurs, 51,000 sq. ft. of undercover storage area and eight acres of open storage which will accommodate 12,500,000 feet of lumber. In addition to the dry kiln operation, the partners intend to install custom milling facilities in the near future.

During the past year, N{ ancl NI \\'ood Working Compan1.'s lumber. plyu,ood and timber oper:rtions in Calilornia have bccome an autonomous unit under General Manager of Claliftrrnia Operations Carl S. Walker of liureka. Malarkey or,vnership of timber in the state dates back to 1943 arrd its first plant, the Eureka Plyu'oocl clivision, \\ras complete<l in 194.3. Since that time both facilities ancl timber holdings have been substantiallv ir.rcre:rsed, makirrg the (]olclen state a prime factor in N{ and N['s overall progress.

A recent {actor u'hich has undorrbtedly helped the California functions u'as the election of Clay Brou,n as president. Brou'n is a lumber and pl1'u'ood man long familiar u-ith timber operations in Northern California. Those f:rmiliar u'ith timber in the I'acilic Northu,est realize that there is consirlerable difference l-rctu,een thosc opcrzrtions and the ones in our state. A knorvledge of both is o{ great importance to a concern operating in both areas.

Three and one-half years ago, M ar-rd M purchased from The Pacific Lurnber Compalry the famed Dolbeer-Carson Lumber Company at E,ureka, arrcl christened it Eurcka Redn.ood Lumber Company. Shortly thereafter salcs outlets were established to give national distrilrution for the products produced from this plant.

The company opened a wholesale distribution center at Downey, California, to make quantities of redwood lumber available for quick supply to one of the outstandi,ng redwood markets. This is a, great aid to dealers requiring small quantities rather than carload purchases.

After purchasing Eureka Redn'ood Lrrmber Company, M ancl M moved to increase its eflrciency. Air-drying facilities u'ere considerablv expanded. four ncn' <1rr. kilns u'erc

M and M's California timber reserves extend in almost succeeding blocks from northern Del Norte county to within 30 miles north and east of Eureka.

Weyerhqeuser Economist Speoks to Foresters on Wood Utilizqtion

Charles J:. Your.rg, \\'eyerhaeuser Tin.rber Corlp;rny economist, reccntly hit these high points in an address to the 1955 annual n.reeting of the Society of American F-oresters at Portland, Oregon:

Fifty years ago, a pronrinent forestry pro[essor told his students good conservatiorr practiccs and a high degree of utilization corrlcl be applied only to ir rcsorlrce rvorth corrserving.

In a non-economic aesthetic sense, of cciurse, forcsts har.e alu'ays been rvorth conserving-and allvays u'i1l be. In the light of cold economic values, hou'ever, it has only been in the last 20 1'ears that strorrg ecorromic incentiles l(, collserve timber have occurred.

Many of tlie major developments in increased tinrber utilization are more a result thar-r a cause of the rise in timber prices. Higher values have made timber r,vell rvorth conserving from an economic standpoint. The u'astc once prevalent u'hen lumber t'as cheap, and only the finest quality logs could repay the cost of bringing them to a mill, is rapidly on its way out.

Behind the rise in timber prices since the late 1930's are three main factors: monetary infation stemming from World War II, the shrinking supply of readily available timber, and the expansion of timber markets.

In u,.estern Washington zrnd Oregon's Douglas lir region, more than 70/o of the standing marketable timber is in public orvnerships, and a large part of the balance is helcl bv a number of private owners rvho :rre committed to long- range, sustained-yield management. The Douglas fir region is far from being out of timber-there are at least 12 milllion acres of merchantable timber now standing, and much oi the 1-l nrillion acres which have been harvested is restocked to the point rvhere it will support cordtt'ood harvesting for pr.rlp; and sawlogs from second-growth timber n,ill be aclded to the supply long before all the old-grorvth ls gone.

Among the outstanding improvements in wood utilization iostered by higher priced logs and timber are the salvage of n ood from earlier operations and burns, the thinning of second-grou'th timber, greater precautions against breakage durilrg logging, relogging to clean up all usable wood, ne\\' uses for hardwoods, the conversion of sawmill and plyu.ood leftovers into chips for pulp production, the development of insulation boards and hardboards.

Integrated utilization is being practiced increasingly by smailer companies. as.nell as large ones, and is weil on its u.ay to becoming industry-wide. When better utilization increases the average volume harvested per acre in the Douglas fir region by l0/o, the present total wood harvest in the regior, can be maintained even if the annual acreage cut is reduced by 20,000 to 30,000 acres.

One clear result of this integrated utilization is the ability to derive more value from each forestland acre, each tree to be logged, each log brought to a mill. Increased values will justify more attention to restocking cut-over lands promptly. Cleaner logging rvill reduce fire hazard, and rvill speed the restocking of the harvested lands.

Improved utilization costs more than older methods, but invited to drive in and take advantage of our redwood lumber distribution yard in Downey or we'll gladly deliver. There's prompt, convenient loading for your pick-up. Carload orders are sent direct from our mill.
