West Coast Hemlock "Clinic" To Feature Annual

A thorough discussion of West Coast hemlock and methods of increasing the demand for this species will be a feature of the annual meeting of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, which will be held at the Winthrop Hotel, Tacoma, on Friday, January 31. The Association is developing an extensive West Coast hemlock display for the meeting and has asked numerous operators to join in a hemlock "clinic." The Association intends to bring out the experience and ideas of the industry in regard to hemlock as far as possible and will appreciate receiving suggestions and recommendations from any interested operator prior to the meeting. It is hoped that every lumberman interested in West Coast hemlock will attend the meeting' and participate in the discussion.

A strong program of other features has been worked out for the meeting. One of the speakers will be Sydney Anderson, formerly congressman from Minnesota and lately president of the flour millers' federation. Mr. Anderson will talk on cooperative developments in the milling industry. His address on a "Fair Share of Business," which was distributed. by the Association to the West Coast lumber ihdustry several months ago, brought a number of favorable resDonses.

Charles S. Keith will give a resume of the probable trends in Southern Pine production during the coming five years and the effect of changing conditions in the South on the marketing of West Coast woods.
