Newport Beqch, Coliforniq Beocon 6641'R of forest lands in Douglas, Coos and Lane counties owned by the Associated Plywood Mills. The bulk of the ownership is in the Little River tract with a substantial area on the McKenzie River east of Eugene. A portion of the certified tree farm is in Coos County ancl in other sections of Douglas County. don't you think

Preliminary details prior to actual presentation of the tree farn-r application to the Industrial Forestry Association were handlecl by Henry G. Champeaux, manager of the logging ancl timber department of APMI. Working closely with Champeaux in this stage was H. R. Glascock, district forester for lFA. Iloth men headquarter at Eugene.

A tree farm is an area of private, taxpaying forest land dedicated to the perpetual growth of forest crops under consciously applied forest practices.

In the case of the Associated Plywoocl tree farm the company has outlined a management plan for its properties so that future generations may enjoy the benefits of continuous timber gror,l-ing and harvesting, Nystrom stated.

Forest protection on the tree farm is plannecl to be well above the minimum requirements of state law. Logging operations are laid out so that natural reforestation is supplied frorn adjoining blocks of seed-bearing timber left under the staggered setting system of logging. Roads are constructed ancl maintained well in advance of timber harvesting.

Imrnature stands of timber are reserved, the cornpany states, until they are mature and ready for harvest. Salvage logging is done as soon as possible after first logging so that slash burning can be finished promptly.

I-ogging plans contemplate early salvage of beetle-killed and vvindthrown trees. Full utilization of all species anil grades of merchantable timber is accomplished consistent with marketability, Nystrom and Charyrpeaux report.

Snag falling has been a company policy and will be continued. A fire warden is employed the year around. New pumper trucks and other fire fighting equipment for better fire protection have been purchased. Water holes have been built at carefully selected places about the property, and in addition six water tanks of 1000 gallons capacity have been constructed on raised platforms throughout the Little River property. They are filled by gravity and insure rapid filling of tank trucks in case of fire. The corhpany plans to burn slash and debris after logging to reduce fire hazards, but most slasl.r burning will be the spot method instead of widespread "hot" burning which Champeaux believes spoils the humus in the soil.

"Timber is a crop," President Nystrom statecl, "we will put fortl.r every effort to perpetuate a timber crop on our lands for future generations. Good forest management during the period of harvesting our virgin crops will provide new timber crops."

Lyman Lightfoot, r'i'ell knou'n iumberman oI San Diego, is presently operating the Hemet Motel, llemet, California. In order to keep abreast of current situations throughout the industry he attends meetings in San Diego and other cities n'hen lumbermen and plywood people have conclaves. He is prominent in Hoo-Hoo circles in Southern California.
