10th Annivers aty ol \(estern Pine Tree Farming Observed

Klamath Falls, August 9-The tenth anniversary of Tree Farming in the Western Pine Forests, of the United States was observed near here today at a simple woodland ceremony.

Speaking from a rustic rostrum on the Weyerhaeuser Timber company's 575,000-acre tree farm, estabtished a decade ago as the first tree farm in the l2-state Western Pine region, Guy Cordon, Oregon senator, commended the effort of private iandowners who engage in the business of timber growing. "These tree farmers are doing something for themselves something intrinsically good for the country and it's being done without a dash to the public treasury or help," he said.

"It is not in the public interest," Coldon asserted, "that all forest land be in public ownership. Yet there are some who feel only government ownership will solve our torestry problems. I know them to tie wrong."

Other speakers included: A. J. Glassow, of Bend, former president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association; R. R. Macartney, manager of Weyerhaeuser's Klamath Falls branch, said William H. Steiwer of Fossil, Oregon, a rancherTree Farmer.

Walter S. Johnson of San Francisco, president of the Western Pine association which sponsored the anniversary observance, presented tree farm certificates for additional acreage in Oregon to the Weyerhaeuser companv, Pilot Rock

Lumber company, Elk Lumber company and Brooks-Scanlon Lumber company.

J. L. Hendricks of Prineville, J. W. Southworth of Seneca, the I-akeview Logging company and Steiwer r,vere certified as new tree farmers.

Guests at the observance included a touring subcommittee of the House agricultural committee, William S. Hill (R-Colo.), Charles B. Hoeven (R-Iowa), James F. Lind (D-Penn.), Walter M. Mumma (R-Penn.), Harold A. Patten (D-Ariz.) and John C. Heimburger, committee counsel.

At the conclusion of the ceremony the more than 300 guests inspected forestry exhibits and were served a picnic lunch by the Weyerhaeuser company.
