Pressure lreated lumber supplled by NATIONAT WOOD TREATING CORPORATION

The CHEMONITE Process was developed in the laboratories of the University of California. A solution of arsenic and copper is forced, under pressure, deep into wood cells, giving eniiuring, effective protection against decav and- insect destruction. Test pieces of CHEMONITEtreated wood, buried in ter' mite-infested ground 24 years ago, show no signs of deter' ioration.

National Wood Treating Corp. supplies CHEMONITEtrealed iimber or will treat your own lumber with this lasting, low-cost Protec' tion against termites and rot.

Thrcc Ncw Trcc Farmc Ccrtificd By California Rcdwood Arociction

San lirancisco, May 7-Three new tree farms ltavc been certified by the Catifornia ltedrvood Association on approval of thcir applications by the Associatir>n's 'l'rcc liarm Cnm' ruittcc. 'l'ltese ncwly ccrti6e<l timber holdings raisc the acreitge of trcc ,farms in the north crlast rc<lu'<xrtl rcgion to a total of ll0,l12 acres. 'Ihis rcprcscnts onc ycar of growth irr thc tree farnt movement in the coast rcdwood region as tlte California ll.ecls'ood Association rcceived its lirst :rpplication f<-rr a tree farnt ccrtificate in April 1950.

Sevcral of the early timber tracts certified had actually been opcrating as trce farms on a sustained yicld basis' but it r.r'as not ttntil early last year that the California ltcdrvood Associatiott rvas given thc authority by the Arrrerican Iiorest l)ro<lucts Indttstrics, national sponsor of the llroject, to certifl' them formally as trce farms.

'l'he Conrmittee took note of the fact that rvithin a year tlrere is more acreillJc with a total of slightly over l10'000 in tree farms than in publicly owned parks, with approximately 72,(m acres. All tree farms tnust be privately ou'ned and f:lrrned on a basis of prolitallle yield on a plan of perpetu:rl croll production.

The threc ne$' tree farms certified by the Association are the lJrauer Tree Farm of l20O acres in Humboldt County bettveen Trinidad and Cranncl ; the Titus Tree Farm of 513 acres in the same area of l{umboldt County; and the Itogers 'l'ree Farm of (t00 acres in Mendocino County on the ltedu,ootl Flighrvay betrvecn McCoy and Red Mourrtain Creeks.

'.fhc Tree Farm Committec noted rvith approval that n.rost of the recetrt apJllications are for tree farnrs of approximatelv l00O or less in acrcage. It is considercd essential fr>r thc completc stlccess of the movement that farm rvoodlots and small timbcr tract owners shall becotrre tree farmers as they own il nrajor share of the conlmcrcial forests <lf this country.
