alifornia Pine Manufacturers Have Exhibit at Shriners' Meeting

One of the most attractive and most interesting industrial exhibits at the recent Shriners' convention in San Franciseo was that prese4ted jointly by the United States forest serviee and the California White and Sugar Pine Manufaeturers' Association.

Scores of lumbermen among the Shriners as well as hundreds of other visitors took opportunity to learn something of the extent of the pine industrv of the State.

growTirrr. SMITE. was arrengecl by The association's part of the exhibit es arransed. bv C. Stowell Smith, secretary of the association, and showed some of the nun' erous produots of the pine mills. There was no attempt at eommelcial advertising. Rather, it was an edueational exhibit intenrled to acquaint the eastern antl midtlle western visitors with one of California's basic industries. A booklet was handed out, which told something of the pine resources and of its uses. The territory of the association, it was crplained. includes the Klamath Falls region of Southelri bregon'and the entire length of the Sierra Nevada mo'rl' tains in California.

In this region there stands approximately 325 b4ttq+ tu$ of timber ai fo[ows : Sugar Pine, 35 billion; California 'White Pine, ?5 billion; White Fir, 40 blllign; D-o.u-glas Fir, 45 billion; incense Ced'ar, 10 billion; Red Fir, 8 billion, and the rest unclassified.

The production of lumber from this region agglegates approximately one billion feet annually which means, at

'When the Arizona lumbermen, at their recent convention in Douglas, elected their presitlent, it surely was a case of the office seeking the man, and nod the man seeking the office.

For John'C. Light, the man theY chose for that honor, was not even present at the oonvention. Ile was over in f.,os Angeles attending the international convention of Rotary elubs, for he is an aetive and enthusiastic Rotarian; being one of the leading members of the club in his home town-Miami.

But the Arizonans doubtless knew what they were about for no lumberman in that State has a longer or more honorable record with the industry than John C. IJight. Ee has been a lumberman all his life-a salesman, a manufacturer, a retail yard manager and yard owner the present rate of cut, a'virgin timber supply lasting 325 years.

At the present time he is head of the Norman-Iright Liumber Company at Miami. Associated. with him are 'W. F.

Two factors, howevdl, mo<Iify this result; first the probable increase in production, and second. the new for"st growth on eut-over lands. It is estimated that the present cut-over lands in California and Southern Oregon are grorving new timber at the rate of 250,000,000 feet a year.

The educational exhibit explained the many uses of both 'White and Sugar Pine. It callecl attention, among other things, to the fact that Sugal Pine doors are meeting a la"ge and exacting demand. The light weight of the wood, its cheerful color, satiny fnish and its freedom from warping give it a value in every market. At the same time large quantities of Sugar Pine window sash are being used throughout tho country.

It really is surprising, when you stop to consider, how many practieal uses Sugar Pine really has, and the same can be saitl of White Pine, only the use of the latter sper:ies is not quite so varied, as for some of the more exacting pnrposes Sugar Pine is preferred. On the other hand, 'White Pine is the stronger of the two and can be used for heavier construction and is more or less extensively used in tlat capacity.

The Association, this year a.s in previous ye&rs, is giviug much attention to the work of fire prevention and fire control in the forests. It co-operates with the forest service in this important particular. In fact, the forest service portion of the exhibit at the Shriners' convention was devotecl entirely to a visualization of the standing timber and the results of fire upon it.
