BOOTH-KELLY COMPANY PLANTS PINE AND REDWOOD SEEDLINGS

First among Oregon fjr lumber manufacturers to adopt forestry. methods to keep their lands permanently produi- tive,the Booth-Kelly Lumber Co., of Eugene, his just finished an experimental planting of over 10,000 pine and redwood seedlings to supplement its policy. of leiving fir seed trees when logging. The seedlings were supplied by the nursery maintained cooperatively bythe State forest school at Corvallis and the Federal Government, under the Clarke-McNary law. The planting was directed by Norman G. JacobSon, of the Western" Forestry & Conservation Association's research and forest land management department.

Desirous of working up a constructive forestry policy for the Eooth-Kelly Company, Manager A. C. Dixon and Logging Superintendent Faye Abrams arranged in 1924 for continuing study by the association's experts of the capacity of cut-over lands to produce another crop and steps to that end that were practical under existing conditions. The chief aim has been natural reproduction of the original species by the adoption of a seed-tree policy and skillful handling of slash $sposal. This promises -to be highly successful but the company has decided to check against it further, also to contribute to public forestry knowledge in the region, by some planting of other species.

Hilke Piler Sales Also Piling Up

"We have long been using the slogan 'Piles up profits as well as lumber,' in our advertising of the Hilke Lumber Piler,"writes the Murry Jacobs Company, distributors of this device, "and we are sure you will be interested to know that this spendid machine is also piling up a very satisfacory sales record."

At present, they advise us further, there are approximately one-hundred Hilke Pilers in use in the sawmills of the Pacific Coast and a very pleasing feature of many recent sales is that they are reorders from previous purchasers. -

Among those who have thus expressed in the most convincing possible way their satisfaction in the machine and its operation, is the Ewauna Box Co., of Klamath Falls, Oregon. This concern became Hilke users and enthusiasts last year when they purchased two machines. Their recent re-order was for two additional pilers.

Others l'vho have made Hilke purchases since the first of the year are the Lamm Lumber Co., of Modoc Point, Oregon; Springer Mill Co., of Olympia, Washingtoh, and International Wood Products Co., of New Westminster, B. C.

A recent improvent in the Hilke Piler is a roller drivechain in place of the riveted mill-type chain formerly used. The Hilke is supplied with either gasoline engine or electric motor drive and with car wheels for operating on tracks or with broad truck wheels for use on planked runways. A special feature of exceptional value in this machine is the automatic unloading arms, which take the lumber off the nroving brackets or "flights." These hold several boards so that the machine need not be stopped if the stacker is not able to take off every board the moment it reaches him.

Some of the larger users of Hilke Lumber Pilers are the Sugar Pine Lumber Co. of Pinedale, who operate 11 Hilke Pilers, and the Seattle Cedar Lumber Mfg. Co. of Seattle, Washington, who have 18 Hilkes in their yards. This latter company build their piles to a height of 6O feetten feet below the raised runways on which the pilers operate, and 50 feet above these.runways.
