California Redwood Association Adopts Plan of Reforestation

Thousands of California acres, laid bare by the timber_ man's ax, are to be repl,anted wiih redwoods as a ,esult of a pro.graln under way and announced yesterday by the Cal_ iforniia Redwood Aisociation in conjirnction with the ob_ servance of 'I'ree planting Week, M-arch 4 to 10.

,-T,1r"1, of the replanting plan inaugurated by the Asso_ cratron rs revealed by the statement ihat a.lready growing in Humboldt and Mendocino -county nurr.rr". are upwards of.2,000,000.young redwoods irom ,itr;ctr will be drawn the lnrtral. conslgnmellt of young trees to be reset in sele,cted areas between Monterey .ounty and the Oregon ii";:----'-

The first.planting will be undertaken w,ithin a few davs under the drrection of Major David T. Mason. former c,.,,.._ ernment forestrv man and University "i Cjrir.r"; "p;;- fessor who has t ..n ."g"g"J;;';;;;'"nent heacl of its re_ forestation department.

. FiSgres recently cornpiled by the University of Cali_ fornia's.forestry division, ,after i study of tfrr.",y."rr,-ir" said to have warranted the conclusion'that .an acre of cut_ over Redrvood timber_ -land,_ replanted under scientific-di_ 1,._.-,]on, will produce 139,C6 i.i"t, bo"rJ measure, within srxty years. This production, lumbermen say, exceeds by 30 per cent and selond growth "li"lr"lr.'i;';;;;;hJ, timber producing region i" tf,. -U"ltJ'S."r"..

Although but one-quarter of california's Redwood forest area has been utilized for comm.".., ". ,fr"*" _nyI;;;;i figures, it is reasoned that the iedwoJ; giam aclopted has .tarted early may .be assured a continued Redwood supply, due to the multitudinous uses this wood is now put to.

Redwood as a shade and ornamentatiree is em,ployed to a moderate extent in some parts of the state and the As_ sociation is u.rging that this use become more general due to the long life, beauty an<l quick growth th; i;;^p; SCSSC S.

The trademark of the Association, ,,Rite-Gr,ade Inspect_ ed" is allowable only. on shingles that are up to the ilite_ Grade Shingle Assoiiation on"the first of 1^i"uy, Isz{,-it is very seldom nowadays that a Rite-Gradl mill refuses'to make the necessary effort to bring its shingles up to ttre grade but in such a contingency ttre use of lhe Riie_Grade s_tamp_is refused until the shingles are of proper qua,lity. One of the most interesting phases of the i.,speciion *ort is to see the great improvement made bv a mili when it comes under Rite-Grade i.nspection.
