Redvuood shipments in Tur.re rose to their highest level in six years, according to a report released recently by the California Redrvood Association.

The l1 mills reporting to the Association shipped 58,558,000 board feet of redwood in June, the highest monthly total since August of 1956, u'hen 59,016,000 board feet were shipped. Shipments for the first six months of 1962 totaled 287,425,000 board feet, con.rpared to 268,279,000 in the same period ol 1961.

Stocks on hand at tl-re rnills dropped four percent to 401,641,000 board feet, the lorvest mill inventory since last September. Production dropped slightly, to 46,325,M board feet, lr'hile nerv orders remained practically the same at 54,520,000 board feet. Orders on hand at the end of the month amounted to 74,077,000 board feet. compared with 79,661,0A0 board feet on X{ay 31, and 64,680,000-at the end of June, 1961.

The productive Douglas fir region of \\restern Washington and Oregon provides lumber for one million homes a year, one-sixth of the nation's pulp and paper, 90 per cent of its shingles, 75 per cent of its hardboards, and most of its softwood plyr,r'ood.

To give that garden an extra touch of charm, build a good wood deck in a corner and equip it with barbecuing and lounging gear. Good results are obtained with either Douglas fir or western red cedar for deck boards and frame.
