Governor Earl Snell of Oregon made a special trip to Klamath Falls on August 5 to dedicate the WeyerhaeuserKlamath Tree Farm, the first to be certified by the'Western Pine Association which embraces the Pine industry of eleven 'Western states. The area of this farm is 506,000 acres, much of which has been cut over once, and is being managed by a full-time resident forester and staff for permanent forest crops.

The dedication was in connection with a dinner at which the Governor officially presented the Tree Farm Certificate No. 1 to Ralph Macartney, manager of the Klamath Falls branch, of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company. This is the first Tree Farm in the Western pine region. J. P. Weyerhaeuser, Jr., executive vice-president of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, was a speaker at the dedication and his address appears elsewhere in this issue.

Canadian Lumber

Sales of Canadian lumber priced in OPA's regulation on Northeastern hardwood were put on a straight f.o.b. mill basis by the Office of Price Administration.

Sellers in direct mill shipment transactions henceforth may charge f.o.b. mill prices plus actual transportation charges from point of shipment to destination.

The change in calculating transportation charges is made in Amendment No. 2 to Maximum Price Regulation No. 368 (Northeastern Hardwood Lumber), and became effective August 4, 1943.
