Big ilIill 0porates In Perpetuity-Timber firowth [xesds Cut

'Ihe Moore Dry Kiln Company, of Jacksonville, Florida, has been using some of its advertising space of late to publicize one of the most interesting sawmill operations in the entire country; that of the Menominee Indian lzlills. located at Neopit, Wisconsin. The fact that a battery of the latest style Moore cross-circulation dry kilns are in use at the mill gives Moore a chance to tell something very briefly about this outstanding example of managed timber conservation. Here is the story, in short:

In 1851 the Menominee Indian Reservation was established by treaty. It comprises ten townships in Northern \\risconsin, totaling approximately 234,000 acres. Of this total, about 175,000 acres is commercial timber land stocked 'ivith timbers of all ages and sundry species, chiefly Northern White Pine, Eastern Hemlock, and the various Norttr.. ern Hardwoods.

In 1908 a timber and sawmill operation on this land was created by an act of Congress, and the Indians went into the sawmill and timber raising business, operated by them under government supervision. The same act limits the production of lumber to twenty million feet annually. -fhey had the timber cruised and estimated and it was found that there was about 750,000,000 feet of timber on the land. They have been cutting twenty million feet of lumber from the land annually since 1908, and practicing the most scientific and practical forestry with their timber growing.

A letter from John W. Libby, Forest Supervisor, to this journal just a few days ago, makes the following statement: "They are at present cruising this timber again, and while they are not nearly through with the estimate, the indications are that there is at least 800,000,000 feet of commercial timber now standing on their acreage, an increase <.,f 50,000,000 feet over their original holdings at the time they started cutting. So it appears that they have not only grown sufficient timber to keep their mill cutting their annual allowable, but they have gained 50,000,000 feet in reserve tim,ber." He further states that there is every indication that they not only can continue to make twenty million feet of lumber a year perpetually, but that it is anticipated that the allowable annual cut may necessarily be increased in time to come as additional young areas come into commercial size.

It may be thoughtfully observed that those who decided on the annual allowable for this mill's oroduction were possessed of exceptional foresight.
