Record Sole of Billion Boqrd Feet From Colifornio Forests Wos Mqde by Forest Service in | 954

Timber operators purchased and cut an unprecedented amount of timber from the national forests in California in 1954, accordir.rg to a recent statement by Clare Henclee, Regional Forester, Forest Service in San Francisctl. The sale of one billion board feet far exceeds any previous year and marks a big step forrvard in realizing the Forest Service objective of harvest of the full crop of 1.2 billion board feet annually.

The cut by purchasers ttnder current and previous year's sales contracts amountecl to 752 million board feet. The ctrtting rate lagged behind sales volume because of tu'o factors: sales contracts extended over more than one season, and the lumber strike of 1954, u,hich curtailed the production of many companies cutting national forest trmber.

One of the major purposes in the establishment of the system of national forests, half a century ago, was to assure a stable and permanent supply of lumlter and forest products to meet local and nationr,vide neecls, norv and in the future. Through acceleration of timber harvest rates, the Forest Service is encleavoring to utilize the full potential yield of timber on the public forests.
