Recommend Term "Or"gon Pine" Be Discontinued
Portland, Oregon, November 2-In the interest of good trade practice and of avoiding the present confusion among consumers of lumber, the West Coast Lumltermen's Association and the Western Pine Association recently have issued a joint statement recommending that the use of the term "Oregon Pine" or "O.P." be discontinued. This recommendation is being given wide distribution in the form of an envelope stuffer, bearing the caption "LET'S CALL A SPADE A SPADE . . Stop using the misleading name 'Oregon Pine"'. The purpose of this leaflet is to combat the erroneous use of the archaic term "Oregon Pine" in certain sections of the country where that provincial expression is still misapplied to Douglas Fir and frequently misunderstood by the public. It is a further step in bringing about greater uniformity of nomenclatnre for commercial softwood species in the domestic trade as rvell as in the export markets.
In explanation of the confusion now existing in the trade over the misapplied name "Oregon Pine," the joint statement of the two associations reads in part as follows: rvhen referring to this important timber species and its products.
What the trade has known as "Oregon Pine" is not pine at all. Recognizing this fact, the wood is designated by its producer by the standardized common name of "Douglas Fir", or by the scentific botanical name "Pseuclotsuga taxifolia." Douglas Fir is the term nsed also by the United States Forest Service and other governmental agencies *Advertisements appear in alternate issue.
Confusion over the name "Oregon Pine" arises from the fact that there are three Western Pines marketed and used in much of the same territory. These are Idaho White Pine (Pinus monticola), Ponderosa Pine (Pinus ponderosa) and Sugar Pine (Pinus lambertiana), all true pine species. N{uch of the Ponderosa Pine is manufactured in Oregon, whicl, situation simply increases the possibility of confusion. With your help, the erroneous term "Oregon Pine" as applied to Douglas Fir can be dropped. You are urged, therefore, to use the name "Douglas Fir" when you mean Fir; and to use the specific common name for Pine rvhen you mean Pine.
