Bold plcnning crt Oeikridge

At Oakridge, Oregon, Pope * Talbot has built a mill geared to the rate of growth and productive capacity of the surrounding forests-a mill that can produce conrinuously, at a stabilized level and neYer run out of timber.

This policy has obvious advantages for the community and for the forests at Oakridge. For our customers, it carries the prospect of a permanent source of quality timber.

We find it interesting at times to go back over some of our old editorials printed a generation or more ago, and read the efforts we then made at foretelling the future. Sometimes they were far afield. But sometimes they have proven excellent prophecy.

)F**

For instance, twenty-five years ago we had some observations in this column concerning glue, and what it might mean to the lumber and millwork industry in days to come. That was one prophecy that fias worked out.

We said in that column: "Glue has come as a mighty and undisguised blessing to the industry, and as yet is only in its infancy. What it shall be, no man knoweth. That we will soon be building boards of all widths, thicknesses, and lengths, built-up and glued-up, there can be no doubt.

{< jr< >k

"There is a natural limitation to how wide you can get beautiful boards from a tree. There is practical$r no limitation on built-up boards, strong, non-warping, non-cracking, practical for thousands of uses. Keep your eye on glue. It is the greatest friend t:ru"*, conservation has.

"Cheap wood, defective wood, waste odds and ends, will be built together and glued together and made into powerful cores, and the outer covers will be beautifully sliced veneers glued on to the cores, making a stout and lbvely product-all wood. Built-up wood is the fastest growing thing in the lumber industry. 'We have practically no waste any more,' said the head of a big millwork plarit the other day. And a visit to his plant showed he spoke thetruth."

So there was one example of accurate predicting of future things. We have discovered through trial and error that a combination of wood and glue and ingenuity can be translated into valuabl'e merchandise of a thousand kinds, never even dreamed of a generation or more ago. Look around you wherever building is being done, and witness the truth of that statement. One of the greatest physical factors in saving wood-is glue.

**'{<

Plenty of stories printed in this column long ago proved to be duds. For instance, the newspapers carried and we printed a generation back a story about the mighty jungleforest in the Amazon River country in South America called the Matto Grosso, which is bigger in one endless

sweep than the entire United States. According to that story efforts were to be made to invade that dark wilderness and take. from it a vast supply of timber. There were countless trees of many sizes and species, according to that old story, enough to supp$ the entire world with hardwoods and cabinet woods for ages if they could be gotten out. Fortunately we were quoting and not predicting.

Said the story: "Disease, reptiles, innumerable insects, and the world's worst jungle protects these forests now." Guess they still do, for we have heard or r€ad no more about invading that jungle. And, since we now raise our own commercial trees and plan to do so for all time to come, it is most unlikely that in the foreseeabl'e future even the hardiest of adventurers will ever attempt to go logging in the Matto Grosso.

t<*,F

But where this column failed most miserably in its efforts to look into the lumber future was with regard to future forests. We just did not see the truth about commercial timber growing, although we had been exposed to the opinions on that subject of various men who did. It looked to us as though the lumber industry would eventually shrink to one of very small proportions for sheer lack of trees to cut. We have confessed this fact before. We were "of little faith." ***

\Me remember back about thirty years ago that we asked Mr. Henry Hardtner, the father of forestry.in the South, if it would be profitable for a man to buy cut-over land and raise a crop of timber on it? Mr.. Hardtner said no. He said the pyramiding cost would make. the timber hopelessly high by the time it could be marketed. He thougtrt that only the mill man with cut-over land he could not sell, and with a reasonable stand of timber ahead of his mill, could raise trees successfully.

That man, he said, *r.l .1. Lra in his possession and the perpetuation of his mill for an added incentive, can raise timber profitably, having no cost but that of foresting. If he leaves immature trees when he logs, said Mr. Hardtner then protects the growing crop, cutting the larger trees as they develop and letting a continual new crop grow, he can perpetuate a milling operation, and it wrll pay. That was one of the first and best talks on the subject of tree growing the writer of this piece ever heard. But it took a long time for the philosophy to sink into a thick-editorial skull' * * *

Of course there have been mighty changes in the eco-

nomic conditions surrounding the timber and lumber industry that have profoundly changed the tree growing situation since Mr. Hardtner uttered the above quoted opinion. It has since then been proven profitable in many territories and with regard to varied timber species, to buy cut-over land and raise commercial timber, as witness the efforts and success of the Government in a large way, and in lesser fashion Ot O*rttl *owners.

Something like twenty years ago a noted Canadian forester made a statement about forest growing that deserved wide circulation, but probably failed to attract much attention. He said: "When a mine is mined, it is mined. It gives out; it practically ceases to exist as a wealth pro. ducer. But when a forest is propeily cared for, it goes on forever and ever. As a wealth producer the forest is immortal. Only the ignorance of man can make it otherwise." The name of the forester was Arthur Richardson.

of course the g:.:eatesa- rrrl".l" of these columns as a source of prophecy, was with regard to merchandising. We began -when the merchandising of lumber and other building materials was in a very early stage, and advertising, displaying, and modernistic selling were little practiced. Our continued efforts for many years to convince the lumber industry in general. and the retail industry i:r particular that the whole face of the business could b: changed by modern merchandising, met with substantial success. In fact, we largely worked ourselves out of a job, because the day came long ago when the great majoritT

of lumber dealers had become building merchants, and it was no longer necessary to preach to them of the things they had learned to practice in their everyday business efforts.

As a matter of fact an. *r"U*rly developing interest of the lumber merchant in the better merchandising of his wares, has b:ought into general practice numerous ways and means of interesting and selling the public buildings ' and buiiding things, never dreamed of by us in the good old days when we were exhorting the retail building trade to go out and get the business by modern methods. And the end is not yet, for with every season that passes newer and more interesting sales methods are being discovered, proven, and put into practice. Makes us ploud to recall that we were on the job when all this started.

Recently in these columns we ran a joke about an optimist who went into a restaurant and said he wanted to buy a good one dollar dinner. The waiter asked: "On white or rye ?" One of our readers sends in a modification cf the same joke. He says a man went into a lumber yard and said he wanted to build a fifteen hundred dollar house. The salesman asked: "How big is your dog?"

CPR 158--Ceiling Prices lor Calilornia Redwood Lumber

Washington, D.C., July 18Dollars-and-cents ceiling prices for manufacturers' sales of California redwood lumber produced in California and Oregon were announced today by the Office of Price Stabilization.

The new ceilings are spelled out in Ceiling Price Regulation 158, effective July 23, 1952. They apply to manufacturers' sales anywhere in the Continental United States.

The purpose of the new regulation is to establish uniform, identifiable ceilings r,vhich are equitable for the industry and consistent with the purposes of the defense production program.

The new regulation rvill not materially change the level of prices now prevailing under the General Ceiling Price Regulation (GCPR). However, it will level out certain disparities in prices betrveen producers. The GCPR fixed ssi]ings for individual producers at the highest levels at rvhich they sold during the period December 19, 1950 to January 25, 1951. During this period some manufacturers had increased prices after the outbreak of fighting in Korea. Others had not. The result was a distorted price pattern u.hich u'as frozen under the GCPR.

The redu.'ood lumber industry is concentrated in north-

and strong. It is in demand for use as mud sills, siding, tank stock and for other purposes where high resistance to insect attack, weather and moisture conditions is important. Because of the enormous size of redwood trees, large mill equipment is required. The lumber must be dried with exceptional care for long periods.

Details of the Regulation

Specific ceiling prices are listed for almost all of the basic items produced by the industry. Adjustments are prescribed for selected lengths and widths, special grains, special workings, drying, marking, special handling and other special items and services. The regulation adopts the grade and size standards and pattern numbers established bv the California Redwood Association.

Ceilings are spelled out on an f.o.b. basis, with provision f.or determining ceilings on sales made on 2n f.a.ir. (free alongside ship) or delivered basis. Provision is made for charges for commissions paid on sales made through commission men operating independently of buyer and seller.

Follorving are the ceilings for representative key items, f.o.b. car at mill, f.o.b. customary rail shipping point for off-rail mills, f.o.b. truck at mill, or f.o.b. scorv or barge

CPR 97, Amdt.8---Pacific Northwest Logs

Washington, D.C., July 2l-A nurnber of minor changes in Ceiling Price Regulation 97, which establishes ceilings cn Pacific Northwest logs, were announced today by the Office of Price Stabilization.

The changes, prescribed in Amendment 8 to CPR 97, effective July 26, 1952, include:

l. A new district, comprising Lincoln and Tillan-rook Counties in Oregon, is established. These connties were formerly part of the Columbia River district. Ceilings prescribed for the new district range from $2.50 to $10 lower than ceilings for the Columbia River district for various major species and grades. The different ceilings reflect the normal relationship of' prices as between the two districts.

2. The western portion of Lane County, Oregon, is removerl from the Oregon-California district and addecl to the LaneDouglas district. The effect is to increase ceilings on tl-re clifferent grades and species of logs delivered in western Lane Couutl' by various amounts ranging up to as much as $10 for better grades of Douglas fir.

The change is made as a resuit of representations from bers of the industry in the area concerned, showing that obtained in western Lane County normally correspond those elsewhere in the Lane-Douglas district.

3. Reference to "red fir" has been deleted tion because, as used locally, the term is "Douglas fir."

4. Ceiling prices for cottonwood logs are levels previously prescribed for alder logs.

(Continued on I'age 16)

Puget Souncl, Grays Harbor and Columbia River districts" When delivery is to an inlond mill, the regulation uow provicl,:; that the established ceiling prices need be reduced for nondelivery to towable waters only when delivery costs from the point of origin to the nearest towable waters, plus booming and rafting costs, would exceed the delivery costs from the point of origin to the place of actual delivery.

Previously, the required deduction was the cost of transporting the logs from the point of delivery to towable waters, plus booming and rafting.

Established weights commonly accepted in the industry are specified for use in computing delivery char.ges for manufacturers' sales made on a delivered basis and moved by a common or contract carrier. The authorized charge is determined by multiplying the appropriate common L, contract carrier freight rate in effect at the time of ship_ ment by the established weight of the shipment. The cost of a truck haul after a rail haul may also be added.

When delivery is by truck owned or controlled by the seller, various specified amounts to cover delivery costs may be added for various distances up to 30 miles, as fol_ lows: 10 miles or less, $3; more than 10 and not more than 20 miles, $4; more than ZO and no more than 30 miles, $5. For distances of more than 30 miles. an amount equal to the common or contract truck charges may be added.

The appropriate freight rate or mileage from the point of loading to the point of destination is used in making the above additions, except when a shipment originates in Cali_ fornia elsewhere than in Humboldt, Mendocino, Del Norte or Sonoma Counties. Under the latter circumstance, the charge may be rail charge to the point of destination from Eureka, Cal., which is established as a basing point.

When lumber is sold f.a.s and the seller owns or leases deep water dock facilities whcih are used for loading it on a vessel, he may add $3.50 per 1,000 board feet for the f.a.g ceiling.

Modern Forest Products Laboratory Wrll Be Established at Los Banos,

Laguna, P. l.

A modern forest products laboratory will be established in Los Banos, Laguna, Philippine Islands, followrng approval by MSA of 9217,000 for the project.

"Patterned after the forest products laboratory in Madison, Wisconsin, the Los Banos project .lvill undertake the research necessary to determine the best methods of proccssing native woods, ratlan, bamboo, gnms and tennins into miscellaneous manufactured products," said Winslow L. Gooch, MSA adviser to the Philippine government on forestry products.

Filipino research specialists will be employed and trained in the new project. The services and laboratory's facilities will be made available to Philippine firms to aid in the soiution of industrial problems.

The research activities will include timber testing, wood technology, industrial investigations, insect-fungus controls and the study of forest products other than wood, :,ccording to Gooch. In the industrial investigations division, he added, special emphasis will be taid on pulp and paper, pressed board, plywood and veneers.

Military Finds Teco Materials Useful Training Aids

Washington-Overseas members of the armed forces, u'ho are studying engineered timber construction in the European Command Engineer School, are using as a text the book, "Typical Designs of Timber Structures," lrr'rblished by Timber Engineering Company, affiliate of National Lumber Manufacturers Association.

Commenting on the book as a "very useful training aid," Major Edmund R. Butch, a department chief of technical subjects at the engineering school, stated: "\\/hile I r,vas stationed in Alaska during World War II, u'e used various

Teco connectors in hangar and bridge construction. In our large hangar spans, they rvorked rvonclers in building up large trusses."

In addition to the books, Timber Engineering has augmented the training course by supplying one of its new joint display kits, similar to tl.re 240 kits placed in architectural and engineering schools this year. The kit contains chromium plated Teco wedge-fit ring connectors and shear plates in actual timber joints, and three types of Trip-LGrip framing anchors in position of tying dos.n rafter and fastening joists to headers.

Several other types of Teco connectors also have been sent to the overseas school as visual instruction aids in emphasizing the basic principles of modern timber engineering.

Ready Hung

Doors

The Ready Hung Door Manufacturing Co. of Southerrr Califorr-ria, rvhich began operations in July, i951, ha:r shorvn continued growth. The demand for the nerv door has increased sales over 1000 per cent in the past six n.ronths, necessitating installation ofa duplicate production line, company officials state.

The company started operations in a section of the Craftbilt Cabinet Company plant at llurbank, Calif., under the guidance of l{omer Warde, u'ho is president of both concerns. The demand has increased to such an extent that N{:. \\rarde has decided to liquidate his 2o-year old cabinet l,usiness and lvill devote his entire attention to the developn.rent of the doors. A second assembly line r,vill double l)resent production and this operation u'ill utilize the entire mill facilities.

Of interest is the fact that nearly all the equipment and l,o\\'er tools used in fabricating these doors u'as developed especially for this operation. Trventy steps are involved from rough lumber to the crated unit ready to ship. Parts include a door and frame, r'r'ith door hung and locked, and frame trimmed botl-r sides. The only hardware not installed are trvo door knobs rvhich are included with the tlelivered unit.

At the present time about 1,000,000 of these door units are in use th:oughout the country, the management states, mostly in residential structures, though doors for some industrial and institutional buildings are available.

The doors are not installed until the plastering is drv and the finisl-r flooring is down, and the smooth finishcrl surfaces are all ready for the painter. A patented fastener, ir.rserted l>y blind nailing, on mitre joints in the trirn keeps rnitres tight indefinitely.

Now, when piling loads, the driver of a Ross Fork Truck can hold the truck right where he wants it even on a grade, Automatic Brake Lock... another advanced'engineering feature of Ross Fork Trucks leaves the driver free to manipulate the load. Result? Faster piling, safer piling and neat' square piles... even on rough ground.

Here's how the Ross Automatic Brake Lock works: As the truck approaches'the pile, the driver flips an electric switch. When uuck is in desired position, he applies the foot brakes as usual. The btakes lock automatically. and stay locked when he removes his foot from the brake pedal. This leaves him free to concentrate his attention on hoisting and tilting oPerations because the uuck cannot creep forward or backward. When ready to back away from the pile, he again flips the electric switch, unlocking the brakes and returning them to normal foot'pedal oPeration.

Think of the time this Ross feature can save for you ! It's another of a long list of features developed and pioneered by ROSS. Remimber, look to ROSS lrsl for the latest!

Farm-fn-A-D.y

When five architects with modern design know-how roll up their sleeves and sit down with a score of working farmers, the house they agree on is liable to be an eyeopener. And that's what resulted when the Washington State Chapter of the American Institute of Architects named a committee to design the ideal family farm home for the rvind-whipped plains and rugged weather extremes of Central Washington's Columbia Basin.

They came up with a house of plywood wall construction with post and beam framing as efficient as a factory and as livable as a vacation retreat. The designers licked the racking winds that prevail in the area with rigid plywood l,all sheathing. And they brought the climate under control lvith a plywood butterfly roof design and an open interior ,plan that affords unusuallv free circulation of air u'ithin the house in summer.

The three-bedroom, 1,500-square foot, one-story horne valued at $19,000 complete is designed for building in three units permitting expansion with a family's needs and budgets. The entire home rvas actually built in 16 hours as

part of the much publicized "Farm-In-A-Day" project at Moses Lake, Wash., commemorating new irrigation facilities in the Columbia Basin. Then it was turned over to World War lI veteran Donald Dunn and his family, together with a fully stocked and planted 120-acre farm.

Dunn and his famiiy have lived in the house for a month and his biggest problem to date has been handling the swarms of visitors to the place. He says he hasn't "eaten an uninterrupted lunch in 30 days."

Despite this, both he and his wife, neither of whom have ever lived in a home incorporating modern design principles, are pleased with the house and particularly impressed rvith the open plan.

"We seem to flow through the house," he says, "without getting in each other's hair. And I particularly like all the glass which gives me an uninterrupted view of the whole farm from the living area."

The basic problem was outlined first by a commlttee o{ experts headed by H. E,. Wichers, extension rural agricultural specialist at Washington State College, r,r'ho served as general consultant to the architects with Helen Noyes, of the home economics department.

The house itself was the work of a design committee chairmaned by Paul Kirk, A.I.A., of Seattle. The op.;n pian and the other unique structural features of the house grew out of the demands of the building site, the needs of a farm family and the climate of the area.

All labor and building materials were donated. The staggeringly complex job of planning and coordination dernanded by the scores of operating suppliers and contractors was field-generaled by W. C. Bell, managing dire,ctor of the Western Retail Lumbermen's Association, the biggest single contributor in money and materials.

Although plywood structural features simplified the building problems involved in a 16-hour erection schedule, the home itself is not just 3 "5lsnf"-it is designed throughout for super.ior construction, maximum life and the kind of livability r,vhich careful planning affords.

Interior wall finishes are planned to harmonize with the home's exposed wood post and beam construction. Kitchen built-ins are vertical grain fir plywood, the living and dining area is virtually all glass shaded by wide soffits and at one end of 'the living room and in the entry hall, the paneling is Philippine mahogany plywood. Natural finrshed fir plyr.vood in storage walls and bedrooms when built accent these wal1 surfacings.

ISLAND STORAGE UNIT. Free-slanding nalural finirh plywood slorage wall form: living area. Sloragc space below adiuslable bool shelves is reached from olher side of island unii. Underside of single thiclness plywood roof decling {urnishes handsome nalutal finished wood ceiling.

The inverted gable roof consists of exposed beams supported on 3" x 4" wooden posts. A single-skin of 3/+" plywood is exposed on the underside to form a natural wood ceiling. On t-he top side it supports rigid insulation and a built-up roof covering.

The butterfly design prevents icing at the eaves in winter and allorvs room for rvindows high on the walls at the perimeter. Because interior partitions are short of ceiling height, air circrrlates freely through the house in summer and escapes through the rvindows beneath the eaves.

The basic unit and the core of the plan includes kitchen, Cining area and living room with a.ivashroom off the kitchen entrance-a total of 750 square feet which rvould cost from $7,500 to $9,0CO to build. The designers combined kitchen and dining room in one general area with the dining room opening through a flexible screen into the living room. And cor-rtrary to general practice, the fireplace is in the dining room fronting the kitchen at the far end.

There are trvo reasons for this unusual plan. First, kitchen and dining room traditionally are the center of the family's activities in the farm home. Thus, in addition to being work rooms, this area of the house offers the family a substantial bonus in livability. Secondly, it is arsu*ed that if tl-re basic unit is built first, tl-re living room rvill provide sleeping quarters pending addition of the bedroom wing

The second unit which can be added without changing the existing structure is essentially a large, all-purpose utility room housing appliances and several built-in storage units. The room is paneled rvith a high density plastic surfaced plywood-a panel rvith clear, bone-hard faces permanently fused to rvaterproof glued Douglas fir plyrvood. The smooth, tough plastic face does not require painting and is particularly durable and easily cleaned.

The final unit like the utility room requires no changes in the existing structure and consists of master bedroom and two children's rooms separated by a folding screen.

Storage is scientifically planned for convenience and space. The designers used natural finished plywood for several storage walls, one forming a living room partition providing space for radio, books and other items. In the bedrooms, wardrobes are built-in. None of the storage units support roof loads rvhich means they can be moved without altering the basic structure to meet the changing needs of a growing family.

The exterior of the house provides for wide areas of glass shaded by expansive roof overhangs. Siding of vertical cedar and cement asltestos panels is backed with sf" Plyscord,, the sheathing grade of Douglas fir plywood, which provides necessary resistance to the racking forces created by high prevailing winds.

One of the most important features of the design is the natural way in which the committee seared the home to the requirements of a normal farm life. There is a separate entrance from the farm convenient to the kitchen and another leading directly to the compact living area from the front of the house.

To provide for a children's play area and comfortable outdoor summer living, the designers placed a 72-loot fence leading off from tl.re house toward the farm yard. The

fence is a medium density plastic faced plywood particularly suitable for painting. It is expected to provide for maximum durability of appearance despite grinding dust and fierce summer suns,

With all its unique design features, the house is a prototype designed to take the place of the temporary shacks and squalid garage living which usually characterize a boom in farm lands. Nobody expects every one of the 13,000 farm families who will eventually settle the Basin to build this identical house. But the designers hope that it will have a profound influence on the homes that ivill be built by others.

tT"U manufacturing experience of Associated Plywood I Mills dates from l)2l-long enough to identify APMI as a pioneer in the development and growth of this important building product.

Plywood plants are located in the heart of the rich Douglas fir region, and warehouse stocks are centered in major population and building areas.

These regional depots carry supplies of quality APMI trademarked plywood for every building need: interior-type, exterior-type, and the sensational new decorative plywood, Sea Sutirl,

Most important of all, these branch sales warehouses are headquarters for skilled plywood men whose services are always available, and who are as close as your telephone.

SeedsSown for Record Crop Of Douglas Fir Seedlings

Nisqually, Wash.-Forestry history was made here recently on famed Nisqually flats when seeds u,'ere sown at the west's largest tree nursery for a record crop of Douglas fir seedlings estimated at 10.6 million trees. These seedlings are being raised for planting on private timberlands of rvestern Washington and Oregon. With the output this year, the nursery will have grown 55 million baby trees since its founding in 1941.

In eleven years, the cooperative Forest Industries Tree Nursery has produced enough trees to plant 100,000 acres of Douglas fir tree farms.

But, C. S. Martin, Tacoma, chairman of the industry's nursery committee which operates the potent baby tree {actory, emphasized that for every nursery tree planted, ren new trees are naturnllv gro\\rn from seed trees left by loggers. Nature is still our chief forester, he said.

The first crop of seedlings produced at Nisqually came off this rich bottom land in 1942, Martin pointed out, and .'ven during the labor-short war years, a substantial output was maintained. Forecasts made by Corydon Wagner, president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, 11 years ago that the nursery *oLtd grow five million trees each year, have been attained, Martin said. We are mighty proud of our continuous record of service to the forest economy of the Pacific Northwest through our planting z.ctivities, he stated.

The nursery is operated by the Industrial Forestry Association, whose chief forester, W. D. Hagenstein, is also nursery manager. N. E. Bjorklund is assistant manager i'nd Rex Eide is nurseryman;

About 14.3 million seedlings will be grown at Nisgually this year, Hagenstein observed. The 1952 planting now nearing completion will .produce 10.6 million trees. Held over from last season are 3.7 million trees which will be two years old this winter when shipped. Also ready for winter lifting and shipping will be five million yearold trees from the current crop. In some areas two-yearold trees have the best survival record, while year-old stock does well elsewhere.

Forest Soils Are Not Being Depleted, Reports' Dr. Youngberg

Forest soils are not being depleted in spite of the tons of timber harvested, reports Dr. Chester T. Youngberg, forest soils expert after completing an extensive research project for Weyerhaeuser Timber Company.

Youngberg, one of the nation's few forest soils specialists, works in Weyerhaeuser's forest research department at Centralia, Washington. He has assembled facts and figures refuting the popular misconception that removal of tons of wood in the form of logs results in heavy depletion r.,f the nutrient value of forest soil.

An average acre of Douglas fir forestland may yield 400 tons of wood at the time of harvest; lut only a small portion, actually less than 1 per cent by weight, is made up of soil nutrients-nitrogen and other inorganic compounds-according to Youngberg.

"A relatively small amount of nutrients are removed with the timber," says Youngberg. "During the 80 to 100 years recluired to produce a log crop, this depletion is more than replaced by the weathering of minerals in the soil and the addition of nitrogen by rainfall and the action of nitrogenfixing organisms in the soil."

Trees produce prodigious quantities of wood-perhaps 2O,W cubic feet per acre at harvest time-through a system of revolving fertility. "The tree returns the minerals :rnd nutrients to the soil in the form of leaf litter," says Youngberg. "Soil organisms decompose the leaf fall to its original constituents and these are drawn up into the tree again through the roots. The nutrients are used in the production of wood and returned to the earth in the form of leaf litter. thus completing the cycle.

"The u'ood which is removed from the forest at the time of log harvest is made up largely of water (r.vhich may accorlnt for as much as half of the rvood by rveight) and organic compounds. These organic compounds, mainly cellulose, lignin, resins and s,axes, are manufactured by the tree from air and water and are not obtained from the soil. Their chemical constituents are carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

"l\fineral elements, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium, are taken up from the soil and are essential to the manufacturing processes carried on by the tree. However, only a very small portion of these ir.rorganic compounds end up in the wood. The greater portion remain in the leaves and are eventually returned to the soil as leaf fa11," the soils scientist continued.

Lesser trees and plants in the Douglas fir forest also take part in this revolving cycle. Some contribute to the soil's net fertility by gaining nitrogen from the air and depositing it in the soil for use by the giant firs or other plants of the forest. The alder is one of these nitrogenfixation plants, operating much the way vetch, green beans or other legumes do on the farm or in the garden.

The forests of Europe have gone through several logging cycles without serious depletion of the forest soils, according to Youngberg. "The practice of gleaning forests for fallen or broken branches to use as firervood, common in Iiurope, has had no noticeable effect on the fertility of

the soil," he says. "lfou'ever, in those European areas where the forest floor is raked clean of leaf litter and this rnaterial removed for use as farm fertilizer. soil deoletior-r has become a serious problem."

"ft is the policy of \\/eyerhaeuser Timber company to maintain its forest properties in a highly productive state," Youngberg comments. "An important phase of this policy is intensive research in the various soil types utilized by the company to grow perr.nanent forest crops."

Youngberg, who will join the staff of Oregon State college's School of Agriculture this fall, was born in Seattle. Raised in San Diego, he received his bachelor's degree in botany at Wheaton college in 1941, his master's degree in forestry at the University of Michigan in 1947 and his doctor's degree in forest soils in 1951 at the University oI vv lsconsln.

NHLA Rules Committee \(/eishs Members' Suggestions

The Inspeetion Rules Committee of the National Hardr.vood Lumber Association, in its annual meeting held in Chicago June 19-20, considered one of the largest batch of suggestions for rules changes that has been presented to the group in recent years. The 25-man committee under the chairmanship of T. M. Millett spent two days in going over the proposals, adopting several of considerable significance to the hardrvood industry, modifying others now in effect and either tabling for further study or discarding numerous other suggestions as being unworkable.

Salient changes were approved in the rules affecting vehicle lumber, select car stock, common dimension, sound square edge and common timbers and industrial blocking. In these grades the specifications pertaining to wane, ring shake and boxed heart were more clearly spelled out and changed to permit a rvider use application from the stock available.

An entirely new grade in the heavier members was agreed rlpon to be termed military or commercial timbers and planking. This nerv grade is a combination of select car stock, common dimension and sound square edge grades.

In the measuring of miscut lumber, a change rvas adopted rvhich will permit taking a greater advantage of the value of the board than before. This change came through extended studies of the problem by the director and students of the l\fcClure Inspection Training School. Additional

clarifications were made in the rules pertaining to saps poplar, aromatic red cedar, sap hard maple and No. 1 comrnon walnut.

These changes and others recommended by the committee rvill be presented in detail to the membership of the Associ:ition for final approval at its annual convention next September.

Television Show Sponsored bv California Construction Activity in July 1952

Redwood Association August 17

Expenditures for new construction in July reached the record total of almost $3.1 billion. according to preliminary estimates .of the Building Materials Division, U. S. Department of Commerce, and the U. S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics. The record dollar volume of work put in place indicated that the steel dispute had little adverse effect on the tempo of on-site operations during the month. Available evidence makes it appear that full effects of the shutdown will not be felt until later months.

The July figure topped the June level by 3 per cent and that of July a year ago by 7 per cent. Seasonal advances in all major categories brought the private construction total to nearly $2 billion. Half the private total consisted of outlays for new residential building- which were up 4 per'cent from last July. In the public sector, defense construction remained at high levels. Highway construction, however, rose less than usual for this time of year because of small and spotty cutbacks in activity due to scarce supplies of steel. Even so, the dollar volume of highway worlr was 12 per cent above the July 1951 figure. Total public expenditures for netv construction amounted to $1.1 billion in July 1952.

San Francisco, Aug. 1-A teievision show series entitled "Careers in California" .ivill begin at 1 :30 P.M. August 17 on KRON-TV. Thirteen different industries will participate in the programs, u'ith the specific purpose of acquainting high school and college students with job opportunities rn the various fields represented.

The first show, sponsored by the California Rcdu'ood Association, will feature a film taken rvhen the four students who will appear on the program visited the Noyo and Joy Woods Tree Farms. John R. Freeman, timlter engineer of the CRA, and Robert Grundman, forester for IJnion Lumber Company, pointed out interesting features of forestry and tree farm operations.

A panel discussion and questions by the students rvill follow the film showing. Paul Speegle will moderate, and State Forester Dewitt Nelson and A. L. Merrill, Chief Forester for tlie lfammond Lumber Company, will answer their questions.

Students appearing on the program are Peter Worden of Santa Rosa Junior College, Robert H. Thompson of Fort Bragg High School, Roy Vanden Heuvel of Menlo Junior College and Charles Freitas of Laney School, Oakland.

Chcnge in Office

Eells-Walker Plywood and Door Co., T-os Anseles, announces that Mrs. Louise Yates is replacing Mrs. Millie Aughey in their office. Mrs. Aughey has gone to Boston to be with her husband, rvho has been' transferred there. i\{rs. Yates, who has a wide acquaintanceship among lumber people in Southern California, was formerly with Angelus-Simmons Hardwood Lumber Co., Los Angeles.

Mr. John Eells did not take a trip to Alaska.

Nerv construction expenditures for the frrst 7 months of this year, estimated at $18 billion, were about 5 per cent above the amount for the same period of 1951. A slightlv lower volume of private outlays was more than offset by a 24-per cent increase in the level of public exlrenditures. Nevertheless, the 1952 total for private construction was twice as great as thatfor public-$12 billion, as against $6 billion.

Cornpared with a year ago, expenditures in the JanuaryJuly period were down by 6 per cent for private residential construction and by o','er a third for commercial building, despite reccnt increases. But factory building, even though important phases of industrial expansion have been completed, and privately financed public utilities, showed substantial gains over the year.

Federal spending for military. atomic energy, and deIense plant facilities was the most important factor in boosting the public expenditures total for the first 7 months of this year. Highway construction, educational building, and conservation and development projects lvere somewhat above year-ago levels for the comparable months, l>ut ouilays for sewer and water facilities ll'ere off 8 per cent.

A medical student sought the advice of an old doctor as to what branch of medicine he should follow and was advised to become a skin specialist for the following reasons:

"The patients of a skin specialist do not call him in the middle of the night nor do they ask him to visit them at their homes. They don't telephone distress messages to the country club, or send telegrams to the football stadium. Finally, they never get well, and never die of skin aillnents. They are perfect patients."

Hcppiness cnd Thingrs

Happiness is as much a matter of being able to do without things as it is of having things. It is important to recognize this fact because life is so constituted that we will be miserable much of the time if our happiness is

contingent on having things to make us happy, even if we are blessed materially far above the average. Most of us are reasonably resigned to not having the things we would like to have, but we need to go farther. We must manage to be happy without these things as we feel sure we would be with them.-Clipt.

Flovters of Speech

(Texas has always been famous for the eloquence of many of its sons. Here is a fine sample. About seventy years ago one Texas legislator was introducing a speaker to his fellows in the House of Representatives, and used the following eloquent phrases:)

He is a man upon whom nature has lavishly expended her resources. In body he is symmetrical and knightly, at once attracting the attention of those who admire a man's form and courteous bearing. In mind he is grander than in body, as the jewel is superior to the casket that contains it. From this mysterious realrn he emits rays of thought as luminous as a silver sheen and as bright as a twinkling star. From out his reservoir spring ideas prophetic of a nation's destiny, fraught with philosophical counsel that may avert impending calamities.

Hls voice is as melodious as the sound of music, but may be as the terrific thunder that portends the coming storm. Such, gentlemen, is the man that f have the honor of presenting to you today, and it is astonishing that corporations, together with his personal enemies, should, like Prince John with his Norman surroundings, be seized with fear when it is known that Richard Coeur de Leon walks in their midst."

Construction in East Trails 1951 Record Volume

New York, July 28-The first six months of. 1952 trailed the first six months of 1951's record-breaking volume in construction contracts awarded in the 37 states east of the Rockies by 12 per cent. F. W. Dodge Corporation, construction news and marketing specialists, said today the total for the first half of the year was $7,758,578,000 compared with $8,808,109,000 reached during the first half of 1951.

It was pointed out that, discounting $980 million in Atomic Energy Commission project awards included in the first half figures for 1951, the current year was only 1 per cerlt behinrl last year.

Re-lnspect Redwood Region Trce Farms

Eureka, July 22-Re-inspections of redwood region tree farms, begun in June, indicate that therc has been no lost ground since the tree farm program got its start here in February, 1950.

The California Redwood Association, certifying agency of tree farms in the redwood region, has sent stafi member J. R. Freeman and C.R.A. consulting forester Emanuel Fritz of the University of California school of forestry to re-inspect tree fann-'i certified during the past two years to make sure that owners are complying with tree farm management rules.

The two inspectors prefer to have a representative of the owner with them on their tours, as this affords an opportunity to discuss technical details and to advise on new, helpful developments.

They have discovered that working crews are becoming more and more aware of the importance of tree farms in relations to continuance of their jobs; that these crews either make or break a tree farm; that cut-over land is being left productive; and that fire consciousness has reached an all-time high.

They have found, too, that many small holders l.rave become interestecl in logging their land in such a way that it will produce a sustained yield.

NLMA to lssue New Guide To World's Research

Washington, D.C., July 28-More than 17,0N research projects on wood and other forest products, conducted by nearly 3,000 domestic and foreign organizations, firms and agencies, are catalogued in the new fifth edition of the "Forest Products Research Guide" to be issued in September by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, according to C. A. Rishell, director of ressearch.

The book is a comprehensive directory of specific projects and the firms or organizations conducting them in all the extensive fields of wood research throughout the world. The material, filling almost 4O0 pages, was compiled by the NLMA staff in cooperation with, that of Timl..er Engineering Company's research laboratory.

"Wood research," said Mr. Rishell, "spurred by demands ior increased utilization, is making tremendous strides in ;11 its phases. Many new projects have been started by established firms and organizations as well as new ones entering the research field since the last edition of the guide was issued in 1950. The new edition has been greatly enlarged to bring this information up to date."

The guide is used by research personnel in keeping posted on research activities in their particular fields, and so avoid unnecessary and costly duplication of effort. It provides means of contact between individuals or agencies having mutual project interests. Students, teachers and writers find an extensive source of reliable material in the publication.

Price of the guide is $10.00, and a limited quantity will be printed. Copies may be ordered norv from National Lumber Manufacturers Association, 1319-18th St., N.W., Washington 6. D.C., to assure delivery.

Forest Products Exh:bit Opened in Portland

Portland, Ore.-The biggest permanent forest products exhibit in the world opened its doors in Portland in June.

And it is housed in the world's biggest log cabin. Portland's famed old "Parthenon of the Forest," the building 'rvhose principal supports are 52 gigantic Douglas fir logs, is being converted into a majestic "Gallery of Trees" feainring three-dimensional exhibits of the modern western forest products industry.

Completely renovated and dramatically lighted, the vast 2O6 by 102 foot structure was formally re-opened Sunday, June 8, as the initial event of Portland's annual week-long Ilose Festival. But the Gallery of Trees will be a permanent exhibit, open winter and summer without charge to visitors.

Originally erected in 19O5 as part of the Lewis and Clark fnternational Exposition, the vaulted "cabin" once housed exhibits of Oregon's fir, pine, hemlock, spruce and rare myrtlewood. Now, through the combined efiorts of Pacific Northwest forest products producers and Portland citizens, 'it r,vill shelter a comprehensive display of mcidern forest industry methods and products.

There is a replica of a fire lookout station perched high above the floor, commanding a sweeping view of the colossal r:olonnades and exhibits nestled among them. Visitors will mount an open stairway to a catwalk around the lookout, exactly as though they were in the forest. Inside, all the instruments and equipment used in fire spotting will be demonstrated.

Floor exhibits will display modern industrial forestry, logging ancl sawmilling. plywood making, pulp and paper, the manufacture of hardboard and insulating board, preservative treatment of wood, construction of laminated beams, woodworking, furniture making, and the production of shingles, battery separators, boxes and other forest products.

The historic old structure is an attraction just in itself, a mecca for tourists from all over the world lor 47 years. Towering 72 feet tall from the crest of a rise overlooking the busy Willamette river harbor, it is a monument to the logger's skill.

Each of the 52 huge logs standing in double column formation soars 54 feet and more to the rustic rafters above. Each is 6 feet through at the base, five feet at the top. Each was chosen for its symmetry and its strength. The building rvas designed to stand lor 25 years, but only two years ago-when the-structure was 45 years old-just nine of the colossal pillars had to be replaced.

In all, there are more than 300 of the world's largest Douglas fir logs in the fabled old building. Most of them form the walls, and in true log cabin fashion they were bitted by hand with axe and adze. Hirdly a nail was used.

Inside, the cathedralesque cabin resembles the temples of old with their fluted marble columns. Unlighted, only the twilight of ta1l timber illuminates the scene and even the acoustical quality of the deep forest has been remarkably reproduced.

In the "good old days," the building was constructed for only $30,165. Logs were put in place for about g50 each. Today the same logs would cost t'ell over $500. The com-

plete construction probably could not be duplicated for less than a half-million dollars.

As the "Gallery of Trees," it wil now house a collection of exhibits representing the west's biggest economic factor -a billion-dollar business that has grown from the simple function of lumber production to a complex industry turning out a multitude of forest products. It will link the past with the present in Portland, the world's most forested city.

Ncrmed McncArer of Agriculturcrl Division

Carroll M. Schrader has been appointed by Masonite Corporation as manager of the agriculture division, with headquarters in Chicago.

Adopts New Name -- Industrial Forestry Association

After struggling along for years with the longest organization name in use, Douglas fir forest landowners adopt the simple "Industrial Forestry Association" title, according to E. P. Stamm, Portland. president of the group.

Known for years as the Joint Committee on Forest Conservation of the Pacific Northwest l,oggers' Association and West Coast Lumbermen's Association, and more recently by the equally mouth-fil1ing designation, Forest Conservation Committee of Pacific Northwest Forest Industries, the .'horter name r,r,'ill be ..r'r'elcomed by press and public alike, Stamm believes.

Stamm said the Industrial Forestry Association will continue to promote forestrv on private land through the West Coast Tree Farm program, which the association founded in 1941. IFA u'ill continue to represent private forest industry before public bodies, and will carry on extensive public relations rvork to acquaint the public u,ith progress, problems and needs of long-term forestry on private lands in the Northwest.

IFA vvill vi'ork cooperatively rvith state and federal agencies in improving protection against fire, insect and disease. It rvill conduct demonstrations and give technical assistance to shovv private forest lands can be managed as a long-range crop, Stamm stated. Membership in IFA is open to all private forest landowners, including farmers, logging operators, lumber and plywood firms, pulp and paper manufacturers in u'estern Oregon. Wasshington ;rncl rrorthern California.

W. D. Hagenstein is chief forester, Stamm stated. Othcr officers are: If. V. Simpson, Portland, manager: and Harr-is E. Smith, Portland, secretary of IFA.

Stamm said IFA maintains brahch offices at Seattle and Eugene, and three district foresters, W. A. Tinney, Seattle; N. E. Bjorklund, Portland; and H. R. Glascock, at Eugene.

Floyd Hart, N{edford, serves as vice chairman of the th;-ee-state Douglas fir frtrestrv group, u'hich is governe<l bv a board of directors.

Oregon members of the board include: J S. Brandis, Dallas; It. P. Conklin, ])ortland; N. B. Gitrstina, Eugene ; Iidmund Flayes, Portland ; N.B.Hult, Junction Citl-; C. W. Inghanr, X,Iarcola: and E. \\". Pease, Medford.

Stamm urged the support of all private forest landowners and the general public in helping pustr forward to the IFA objectives of better forest protection, more efficient timber growing and harvesting, and more complete rvood utilization.

The forestry leader said the forest industries brought $1,700,000,000 in new cash into Oregon and Washington in 1951, and that the region could support such a forest economy oerpetually, if forest practices continue to improve and the woods are protected adequately from destructive forces of fire, insects and disease.

Timber EngineeringCourres Jump 60%in Nation's Schools

\Alashington-The number of colleges and universities teaching engineered timber construction has increased more than 6O per cent in the past five years as a result of the grorving recognition of wood's versatility according to Timber Engineering Company, affiliate of National Lumber Manufacturers Association.

During the school year ending this month, 217 architectural and engineering schools conducted 306 courses in timber construction, compared with 188 conrses being available in 135 schools five years ago. Thus, over 60 per cent more colleges are offering 62.7 per cent more courses in this modern specialized instiuction.

Further indication of the trend toward timber in recent years is that, since the t936-37 school year when only 23 colleges offered 31 courses in the use of wood as a heavy construction material, the upswing has been almost ten-fold.

Nearly 50,000 pieces of technical lumber literature were supplied free the past year to colleges on their request to Timber Engineering Company. The booklets provide students with a variety of design and construction ideas for military, commercial, industrial and recreational buildings of rvood. In addition, they give complete data on the three major timber construction methods-the Teco connector system, the Lamella and glued laminated.

For the past 14 years, at the beginning of the fall term, Timber Engineering has offered free copies of these educational booklets to the architectural and'engineering professors requesting them for classroom use. In recent years, the industry-orvned organization has developed a comprehensive outline course in timber engineering as an aid to professors freparing courses of instruction.

As an added feature, augmenting the instructional materials supplied last fall, Timber Enginering this year distributed 240 timber joint display kits to the colleges. The kits have four full size timber joints, trvo of which have cutaway sections revealing the rvedge-fit split ring connector and the shear plate in position. The other two s;ho'w connections of joists to header and rafter to plate with Trip-L-Grip framing anchors.

The display kit has been placed by Timber Engineering Company, without charge and on request of class instructors, in architectural and engineering scl.rools in all 48 states, Alaska. Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia.

\9ood Can Replace Critical Metal in \(/ood Gutters

Washington, D.C., July lS-Wood continue! to'supply sound, lasting replacements for the critical metals and other materials essential to home building.

_For instance, roof gutters may be quite satisfactorily constructed of wood, according to an 11-page booklet just published by the Government's Housing and Home Finance Agency, Division of Housing Research.

"Roof Gutters," the second in HHFA's Construction Aid series, illustrates methods of conserving materials required for military and civilian needs during the present period of accelerated defense mobilization, and recommends wood gutters and downspouts for new homes and for replacement purposes. ". Wood gutters are sound, inexpensive, and attractive. With proper installation and reasonaltle maintenance, they are durable." To illustrate, the booklet continues, "When the White House was remodeled in 1927, a rvood gutter was removed rvhich had been in use for 110 years. It was still sound and serviceable."

Manufacturers of rvood gutters recornmend that the outside of the gutter be paintecl with three coats of lead-in-oil paint; the inside surface should be left untreated, or at most primed with oil only. Also, there are a number of inexpensive wood preservatives n'hich are simply llrushed on and rvhich rvill protect tl.re gutters.

To those interested in olttaining copies of this booklet, "Iloof Gutters" is available at 10 cents from the Superintendent of Docuurents, Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D.C.

\(/eyerha euser Timber Foundation Establishes Memorial Fund at Yale

Tacoma, Wash., July 4-Weyerhaeuser Timber Foundation has established a $100.000 memorial fund at yale University, l.ronoring the late pioneer forester Charles S..Chaprnan, it \,vas announced today.

J. P. Weyerhaeuser, Jr., chairman of the foundation board of trustees, reported that the gift is one of the first macie for the Yale forestry school's current drive to raise a $5,000,000 endowment fund. He said:

"The Charles S. Chapman Memorial Fund will be used for the advancement of industrial forestry through fellowship grants, research, and such other educational activities that may be designated by the dean of the school of forestry,"

Mr. Chapman, who died in 1940, had been chief forester of Weyerhaeuser Timber Company for sixteen years. A pioneer in private forestry, he was graduated from Yale in l9O2 as a member of its first forestry class. After several vears with a southern lumber company, he entered the U.S. Forest Service.

Oregon is l-rest known as the nation's largest supplier of Douglas fir, premier construction lumber, but what many do not know is that this state also furnishes most of the soft, pliable wood used in the manufacture of the country's pencils.

Incense cedar rnight well be called pencil cedar for it is this secondary forest species, found principally in southern Oregon and northern California, which is the delight of the pencil industry.

Like two other well-known Oregon forest species of limited range, Oregon myrtle and Port Orford cedar, Incense cedar has become valuable because of its highly specialized use. A few sawmills in southern Oregon specialize in manufacture of pencil blanks which in turn are shipped to plants where the pencils are made. Cutting of the pencil cedar log is tricky business, for attention must be paid to quality, slope of grain and other technical factors to insure highest possible return of top grade blanks.

Incense cedar seldom grows in heavy groves, but is found scattered among Douglas fir trees, often in the shade, and among Ponderosa pine forests in the drier climate of southern Oregon and northern California.

Secondary forest crops, while not large in dollar volume compared to the billions of feet of Douglas fir and Ponderosa pine timber which is converted into lumber and plywood, nevertheless play a definite part in the forest economy. Other secondary crops which can be taken off the growing forest, while the timber is maturing, are srvord lern, digitalis, cascara bark, decorative sprigs from Oregon grape and other greens and Christmas trees. Gathering and processing of these unusual forest crops give employment

Before his thirtieth birthday, Mr. Chapman was United States district forester in Oregon and Washington. He left the Forest Service to found the Oregon Forest Fire Association, and he was its first secretary-manager. He was also the forester of the Western Forestry and Conservation Association. During this period, he .ivas active in bringing about cooperation between lumbermen and foresters, and bet'iveen private and public agencies.

In 1924 he became chief forester of Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, a post he held until his death. Mr. Chapman was a leader in the movement to educate the public and the forest industry to the need for protection against fire, insects, and disease in the forests.

Out o[ the Woods

Bv Jim Stevens

The Weyerhaeuser Century .

A hlrndred years of history was in focus on the big mill at Everett during its week of open house to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Weyerhaeusq5 operation in the community. Characteristic reticence held the observance to local life.

Actually this is the Weyerhaeuser centennial year. For it was in 1852 that a German immigrant rvho was yet in his teens took a job at stacking lumber lor 12 hours a day in a Rock Island, Illinois, sawmill. Before long he was selling lumber. And in a little while a mill-owning group rvas asking him to come in as executive partner.

Another German giant of the day in America had come to America as a refugee from the revolution of 1848. He settled in Wisconsin, entered politics as a leader of the nerv Republican party, eventually was appointed Secretary of the Interior. And so Carl Schurz fathered the forest reserve policies lvhich n'ere the roots of our present national forests.

Such matters of history were in tny mind as I joined one of the groups that were guided on MillB tours at Everett, to see the nern' hydraulic log barker, the big chipper, and other modern rvonders of ar-r integrated forest industry operation plan.

No Alligators or Burners

Close to 10,000 grandpas, dads, moms. small fry, didy babes and humans unclassified were taken up ancl dorvn steep stairs and over tracks and planks of Mill B during the vi'eek of open house. A barked shin u'ith a stocking-run as a by-product lvas the only reported injury. A stack of stories u'as salvaged by the fair girl guides. One 'rvas of a visiting lady from the Louisiana timber cour.rtry who rvas cheering at every turn. When she looked out over the log booms she cried, "The boom men up North do have it good -no alligators !"

I'11 tell you rvhat I missed, with glad cries and big smiles. Back in the 1920s I described the night sawmill scene at Everett many times in short stories. Seen from a boat on the Sound or from tl-re eastrvard heights the giant red, glorving eyes of the burners made the night vier,v appeal powerfully to the imagination. The Mill B burner fell long ago, like Goliath before David's slingshot-the woodpulp industry and other rreu' agencies of utilization being the David in this case.

; Integration, they call it. But there's more toit than abides in just that rvord. It means plants, manufacture, sales, distribution, features visible like the trunk and branches of a tree. The roots are deep. They have been long growing. They are in a history of human relations through innumerable partnerships and creative management programs. Their vital character abides in tl-re word "cooperation."

Cooperation and Integration .

The United States suffered a nation-r,vide financial panic

in 1858. An Illinois lumber company failed. The creditors urgecl young Frederick Weyerhaeuser to join them as executive partner. History repeated itself with him from that time on. The record reveals him as a man of business who inspired full faith and trust at contact. Others sought him out, endlessly. It was James J. Hill who came to Frederick Weyerhaeuser in the 1890s, asking him to buy Northern Pacific forest land on the West Coast.

Cooperation plus integration is the way that has led to the Weyerhaeuser operations of today from the wages earned by a teen-age German a century ago in Rock Island, Illinois. Certainly it is one of America's great industrial stories. As a historical figure of the forest industries Frederick Weyerhaeuser stands alone, utterly unrivaled. The position was not attained by having a giant's strength and using it like a giant. The strength was in character, in genius for integrating cooperative enterprise.

Allwood*Hardboard

Allwood hardboard, manufactured in a new $2% million plant by Oregon Lumber Company is now on the market in a variety of sizes, thicknesses, and in both tempered and standard grades.

Allwood hardboard processes dimensional stability and is suitable for all structural and decorative purposes. Tempered hardboard is being produced for hard surface and exterior use. The new hardboard comes with one smooth surface and in tempered form can be used for linoleum base with the screened side up for good adhesion.

Allwood can be used for such applications as concrete forms, flooring-both sub and top applications-table tops, cabinet doors, radio and television cabinet backs, furniture panels and many other uses calling for a strong, lightweight board which can be sawed, routed, nailed, drilled or planed rvithout shredding, chipping or splitting. This new hardboard is produced in all popular sizes and thicknesses, both tempered and untempered.

National sales and promotion of the new hardboard will be conducted exclusively by Simpson Logging Company sales offices in Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Fargo, Kansas City, and Shreveport through regular distributor- dealer channels.

Strong selling copy is employed throughout.

The local dealer's name can l-le inserted prominently at the bottom of each ad.

The consumer booklet describes approved methods of installation, finishing and care. First published in 1949, itrvas revised extensively this sprir,g to bring it up-to-date with more detailed information of interest to present and prospective home orvners.

Material added includes a section describing the ner'v method being employed for installation of strip oak floors in drvellings built on concrete slabs.

In the recommendations for finishing, the booklet explains the various steps in proper procednre and also points out the advantages of floor seal, a relatively new type trnish. Noted for unusual durability and resistance to scratches and stains, seal is being used widely for finishing residential as u'ell as heavy duty oak floors.

Association President Milton Craft r:eported at the meet^ ing'that oak flooring rlemand during the first half of 1952 remained near record levels.

If nerv d'ivelling starts for the year reach the 1 -million figure expected by many observers, he said, the volume of hardwood flooring shipments in the Southern and Appaiachian regions should equal or exceed the936,620,000 board feet of 1951. A record volume of more than l-billion feet u.as shipped in 1950, u,hen almost 1,400,000 drn'el1ing units rvere started. The Southern and Appalachian regions account for about 90 per cent of the nation's hardt'ood flooring output. All but about 5 per cent of their production is oak.

Principal speaker at the meeting was J. B. Veach. president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, n'ho emphasized the value of trade associations in solving industry problems.

Plywood Remodeling Contest

Taccrma, Wash., July 26-\Yest coast plywood manufacturers closed the first phase of their "Room-for-fmprovement" plylvood remodeling contest this month with a final tally on responses from home-o\1''ners that "far exceeds expectations "

Accordins to O. Harry Schrader, Jr., managing director of Douglas Fir Plywood Association of Tacoma, Wash., more than 36,000 people requested entry blanks and plyu'ood idea literature. And more than 13.000. or about one out of three people rvho got the blanks, submitted fully completed entries.

"The count at this point," said Schrader, "indicates that the first phase of this big remodeling promotion has been an outstanding success."

Schrader said the results even amazed the experts including officials of the Reuben H. Donnelley Corporation which is handling judging. /

The contest closed June 30 and winners will be announced in August, just as soon as the bulging entry file can be properly processed and judging completed.

The 'vinners were offered $20,000 in prizes with big bonuses for actually completing their jobs by August of 1952. Architects' solutions of their problems will be presented to the top winners from which to proceed with their remodeling projects with plywood. There were four divisions in the contest for additions to and for remodeling within both city and farm homes.

Since at least eight of the winners are expected to complete their remodeling to qualify for the bonuses, said Schrader, the contest is only the first step in a long-range promotion designed to stimulate interest in remodeling and pre-sell the consumer on doing the job rvith plywood.

He said the promotion will prove an invaluable source for ideas, dealer sales helps, rock-bottom statistical information and other promotior-r aids unobtainable in anv other wa)'.

Industry Leaders Proclaim New Ag" of\(/ood

Chemistry at Hand

Sarvmills of the future in Oregon and Washington and northern California may look like a Rube Goldberg contraption, because industry leaders are now proclaiming. a gew age of wood chemistry is at hand.

Hillman Lueddemann, Portland, president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, is taking the forefront in urging lumbermen to promote. encourage and finance manufacturing plants and chemical works which tvould use wood as a ra\,v material.

The lumber chieftain believes chemical plants can profitably be built adjoining sawmills to use the leftover scrap, trinr, edgings, shavings and sawdust. He cited an amazing variety of products which can be made from rvood by application of chemical treatments.

Edibles for man and beast, rank high on Lueddemann's list. Feedlng molasses (and the region is short of protein feeds), wonder drugs, rayon, fibres, ship stores, pulp products, pla.stics, tannins, wax, ethyl alcohol, methalene, turpentine, lig,nin, explosives, and land extenders are just a few of the astonishing list of goods for man u.hich can be taken from wood.

i,ueddemann hailed many new plants, almost unsung, u.hicl.r have been built by the lumbermen in recent years and rl hicl.r in fact introduce the nerv age of u'ood chemistry. He said the factory at Longvielv which manufactures eleven ..'alual>le commercial products from Douglas fir bark is an example. Rapid expansion of plants making hardboard {rom t'ziste u'ood is another tip-off to the future.

The lumber leader said the most encouraging ne'rvs is the disclosure that this great potential 'n'ood chemical industrv can get its rarv products from present-day waste or sa'n.rrill leftovers. He said kraft paper milis alone, using sau'mill sc:ap, rvere saving 400,000,000 feet of timber yearly and rr'ould soon be saving 700 million feet, from Oregon and \\'ashington forests.

Lazy Trees Don't Survive

Forest conservation is vl'ise use,. not disuse. There is wasteful extravagance in disuse, for trees ultimately die and are lost to profitable use.

Foresters Convert Powersaw Into Portable Fire Engine

Springfield, Ore.Foresters at Weyerhaeuser 'fimber Company's Springfield branch can turn an ordinary powersarn' into a portable fire engine in 90 seconds.

The gasoline-powered saws that fall and buck timber on company logging operations may now be used to pump water on a forest fire. They will dra'lv the u'ater from srreams, lakes or ponds in the woods.

With attachments developed by the foresters, standard auxiliary fire-engine pumps may be coupled to powersaw motors. It takes only a minute and a half to remove a .nri' f.o- its motor and attach the fire pump.

A pump coupled to a seven-horsepower sau' motor will spray a fire with two streams of water through 5/16-inch nozzles at 100 pounds pressure. A pump attached to a five-horsepower saw motor will spray rvater from trvo hoses and nozzles at 75 pounds pressure.

The foresters at Springfield have been testing the po'n'ersa\\'-pump combination for the past vear and see it as a valuable fire-fighting tool.

A seven-horsepo\ rer motor and pump weigh only 97 pounds and may be moved quickly and easily to a fire. If necessary, saw motors and pumps mav be strapped to packboards and carried into areas not accessible to bulkier and heavier equipment.

Porversaws, and loggers r.r.ho knorv horv to operate them, are usuallv rvorking in the rvoods before a fire starts, the foresters point out. At first sign of smoke, the (rS-pound fire-engine pumps can be brought .up and attache<l to saw motors. Little time rvill be lost in putting lvater on a fire.

Morrntings and couplings for attaching the pumps to the sa'rv motors u'ere invented by Bob Gehrman, Weyerhaeuser's Springfield branch forester. The der.ices have been rnanufactured in the companv's n.:achirTe shop at Springfield.

Gehrman has applied for a patent on the mounting and coupling, but he said all forest industrv companies will be granted licenses to make the devices for their own use.

"\\'e u,ant to make this fire-fighting tooi available to any timlrer o\\'ner n'ho t.ants to use it," he explained.

'I'ree farms in the acres to more than redwood region range in size from )7 65,000 acres under one on'nership.
