D. H. Rogers of the Big Bear Timber Company, Red, lands, California, described the public interest in logging in Southern California, at the Sierra-Cascade Logging Con,ference. He discussed the integration of the recreation and watershed objectives of forest management in Southern California with the logging operations necessary to keep the forests healthy. The public concept of forestry from 1915 on, in Southern California, was to keep loggers out and preserve the woods, Rogers said. Finally, the overall expenditures for direct insect control became exhorbitant and it was evident that recreation values would be difficult to maintain unless the woods were put under management. For the last three years large scale sanitation-salvage operations have been conducted to clean up overmature areas.' The scene of operations has been the mountain playground of the 6 million people of Los Angeles. In 1956 the San Bernardino National Forest alone registered 5,853,000 visitors. Rogers des,cribed the constant public relation work done by the loggers and forest managers to obtain public acceptance of the woods operations.

New developments in logging machinery, especially for handling small timber, were described by R. D. Salter, special representative for the Caterpillar Tractor Company, at the Sierra-Cascade Logging Conference. Salter forecasts increasing operation in small, second growth wood. He expressed the willingness of equipment manufacturers to work with the loggers in developing the right tools for second growth logging problems.

The use of powerful mechanical muscles to do the logging job cleaner, faster, and at less cost was explained at the Conference by A. W. Jordan, Drott Manufacturing Corp', Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In the past two years, more engineering time and know-horv has been spent in developing proper equipment for the logging market than any other single application and "we haven't even started," he stated.

C. R. Arment, forester for Diamond Match Company, explained at the Sierra-Cascade Logging Conference his company's plans for removing and utilizing the suppressed, weak and defective trees, from second growth stands of timber. Arment described the intensive study made of company-owned young growth and small and defective logs which resulted in a decision to construct an integrated forest products plant at Red Bluff. Arment's talk was one of several by loggers and foresters on the Conference theme of managing young growth timber. Conference discussions concluded Feb. 16 with demonstrations and parade of one of the largest exhibits of logging equipment ever held in the United States. The public was invited to this Loggerama at the Fair Grounds race track from 10:00 a.m. to noon.
