Then he hit them two more side-shpj. He said don,t burn your slash- Don't do it for four reasons. The soil under a slash fire is destroyed of plant growth value. The fire kills the young trees already growing, and makes the land under the fire unfit to grow more. Likewise, the slash furnishes shade protection to the your-lg trees, and shade protection is needed. So you have three good reasons for not doing the very thing that in the past the timber men ;vho considered reforestation thoughi immediately necesdYw. T,ikewise, said the Doctor of Forests, the rotting of rrt[e slash furnishes the ground with valuable soil ingr:eai ents that makes timber grow. And there is the fourtfr reason.

Do you wonder the timber folks are interested?

Watch for further and interesting developments along this line.

Chico Company's 1925 Cut of Timber Rests on Demand; Plant Ready for Big Output

The Diamond Match Company, operating sash and door, millwork, box shook and afiary factories-at Chico and a sawmill at S.tirling City, supplied by extensive logging operations, will gauge its 1925 production on market c&aftions. W. B. Dean, manager of the California lumber op- erations of the company, innounces that if the demandis good- and prices fair, a total cut of 50,000,000 feet probably will be the goal.

That mark would necessitate a daily output of 250,000 feet, meaning a -day-qnd night shift at ihe mlll. The pres- ent production is 150,000 feet, with only a day shift- employed, but th-e.-higher figure can be attained-by putting on the other shift.

The Chico units of the company are well supplied with orders to be filled for several months to come lnd Dean looks for an active season to begin a little later in all lines.

, Extending Railroad

The sawmill at Stirling City started operations on March 9th, the camps having started a few days earlier. The compa-ny is,constructing four and one-half miles of new logging railroad, running into the Inskip country. The present mileage of logging road from Stirling City into the-timber is about twelve miles. Next year it is planned to build an additional five and one-half miles of track.

To the four new logging engines purchased last year has been added another n-e"* loggi"g enlin'e of the heavy type, with two speeds. The company has done away wittr bdild- ing chutes, and is ,ro* oring skylines, having three in op- eration at present.

Sawmilt, Overhauled

The sawmill has been given a general overhauling and many minor improvementi made. -Fortv-five new ooitable bunkhouses -have just been completed for use in thi camps. They are built in a substantial manner on skids. the exterior being covered with rustic, with shingled roofs. The inteliors a-re gainted white and the exteiiors grey.

Each bunkhouse will accommodate three-men. The advantagg of these portable bunkhouses is that they may be handled from flat cars to camps by locomotive crane in a few moments and set out in Jtreei formation, with water pip.e connect-ed to each one. This will improve living conditions for the men in the camps.

Why Sell Redwood?

n NE of our good dealer friends in a reccnt letter jokingly Vremarked that from his standpoint one of Redwood's big disadvantages is its permanence-its great durability mskes replacements unnecessary. Nothing short of a cyclone will destroy Redwood. Fungus does not rot it and worml and insects leave it alone. It is a slow burner. Thoroughly painted, it looks well a long time. Even unpainted' it still resists decay. A Redwood house needs little relairing. But this dealer keeps right on ordering Redwood. He finds that telling these sad facts about Redwood to his customers does not drivc them away.

Sometimes he even ventures to remark that according to the U. S. Government'Report entitled uPhlsicol, Mechatticol aad Chemical Properties of Redv,tood" there isn't any other wood, either soft or hard, that averages as high on ilurabilit!, hch of shrinhage, strength as o beom or Posl, eosc of ghcing' u,orhabilitt and ability to "stay put."
