Marking Timber

The principles of timber marking, as followed by the forest rang'ers in our National Forests, are outlined in a tr.vo-reel film, "Marking Timber," just released by the United States Department of Agriculture. Photography for this picture was made in the beautiful Black Hills, in u'estern South Dakota, and while the marking shown is confined to the western yellow pine of that region, the methods illustrated are applicable in large measure to forests of other types.

The picture portrays tle progress of a rang'er through a portion of the forest that has been budgeted for sale, and illustrates with detailed scenes the various tyoes of trees to be cut, as well as those which, for various -rl".on., are to be left to perpetuate the forest. Over-mature trees, diseased trees, such as those infected with canker or witch's broom, "spike tops," forked trees, and trees deadened by lightning or girdled by porcupines, are among those marked with the "U. S." blaze. Stress is laid upon the necessity for leaving a healthy, hand-picked stand of young trees to provide foi future cuttings, and enough seed trees to insure reseeding.

Although intended primarily for the use of students of forestry, this film should appeal to all r,vho are interested in forest conservation.

Copies of this picture may be borrowed for short periods, or may be purchased at the laboratory charge. A complete list of the department's films, lvith information on the rnethod of distributing them, is given in Miscellaneous Circular 27-M,which may be obtain;d on application to the Department at Washington, D. C.
