SUPERIOR GRADE OF TIMBER GOVERNMENT WILL STUDY CONSERVATION OF TIMBER Broad Field Presented for Work Along This Line—Best Lumber Is Taken From Mature Trees Provided they are not Weakened by Decay (Correspondence of the Gazette) Washington, Dec. 11.—The future development of the lumber industry in this country lies in the direction of a closer utilization of forest products. Both foresters and practical lumbermen now agree on this point. Just what can be done in this field is well illustrated in the operations at the mill of the Great Southern Lumber company, which has just reopened its plant at Bogalusa, Louisiana, in response to the increased demand for lumber after the recent slump in business. This is perhaps the largest sawmill in the United States, if not in the world, and is capable of turning out the enormous amount of 600,000 feet of sawn lumber board measure per day. A reader can get a fair idea of this quantity of lumber when he is told that its output is enough to build a little town of 40 houses, along with a good-sized church and a school house every day. This company was quick to grasp the significance of the rapid depletion of timber resources. Last year it began a co-operative investigation in wood utilization with the United States Forest Service and arrange- cials. Pigeons will be exhibited all sections of the Pacific An excellent show hall has secured in the business section the corner of 12th and Harrison where the birds will be viewed thousands. Entries close 2nd, and as the time is not applications should be made for premium list containing regulations of the show, entail and other information. The let will be mailed free upon by the secretary, Wm. T. F. Broadway, Oakland, California. STATE FRUIT GROWTH Annual Convention at San Francisco Will Discuss Many Topics The Thirty-fifth Fruit convention will be held at San Francisco under the auspices of the Horticultural Commission, December 1st, and continue days. The subjects to be discussed this meeting will be of more diary interest to the fruit of the state. In view of that there is to be a tariff early next year, every fruit should be awake on this market questions concerning position of many fruits thoroughly discussed, and that the state insectary is dedicated at this meeting will added interest to the conversion sides these, there will be projects considered. The subject of noxious one of burning interest over portion of the state and it city of lumber when he is told that its output is enough to build a little town of 40 houses, along with a good-sized church and a school house every day. This company was quick to grasp the significance of the rapid depletion of timber resources. Last year it began a co-operative investigation in wood utilization with the United States Forest Service and arrangements have just been completed for a renewal of the experiments. The work will be along practical lines and will be aimed to secure a closer utilization of the products of the southern lumber mills and at the same time produce a margin of profit in excess of that obtained by the methods which are now practiced. The field for work along this line is broad. It is well known that the superior grades of lumber are obtained from old mature trees, provided they are not weakened by decay or other influences. In other words, a thousand feet board measure of lumber, sawed from a tree two feet in diameter, costs less and is worth more than a thousand feet sawed from a tree only eight inches in diameter. Moreover, timber cut from young trees usually contains a large amount of sapwood. If ties, poles, etc., are cut from such material, they will decay far more rapidly than if cut from heartwood. It is not good business policy, however, in a great many cases to saw the most valuable timber into commodities which are relatively low in cost, such as ties and poles. It is the intention therefore, of the company to find out just what size and classes of timber can be best utilized for the cheaper commodities when given a preservative treatment. To this end a careful study will be made to ascertain the amount and value of products sawed from trees of different sizes and just how each can be best utilized so as to secure greatest economy and profit. For example, can a tree eight inches in diameter be best utilized for ties or for flooring, and how will the profits compare if treated with those sold untreated? It seems reasonable to suppose that the profits derived should be awake on this market questions concerning position of many fruits shortly thoroughly discussed, and that the state insectary is dedicated at this meeting will added interest to the conveniences these, there will be matters considered. The subject of noxious one of burning interest over portion of the state, and it to bring this subject to the fruit growers in time vent the spread of some new pests in other territories to recommend legislation in their control. A paper will sent by a gentleman who making a study of this question months, and it should be eing as well as alarming to teachers of the state. Another topic of great interest the threatened invasion of the small creature that has rendered abortive hundreds of deciduous fruits, and is affecting some of the citrus Dr. Howard and his associates have papers on this subject fitting of the soils to the climate discussed by a government, and one of the chief forestry service will speak on protection of our water she gether with the state forests special feature will be North ifornia walnut growing, paper presented by both a scientist and a practical grower. Judge Peter J. Shields will the convention upon a subject to farm life that is being urged by the whole nation. Session may be devoted to this and discussion thereon. The convention will also at one session the horticulture of the state. It is expected that committee appointed one will have its report ready, commendations embodied lea the revision of the horticulture of the state. One meeting will voted entirely to the consortium of county horticultural matters. There will be paid the apple, and other fruits: To this end a careful study will be made to ascertain the amount and value of products sawed from trees of different sizes and just how each can be best utilized so as to secure greatest economy and profit. For example, can a tree eight inches in diameter be best utilized for ties or for flooring, and how will the profits compare if treated with those sold untreated? It seems reasonable to suppose that the profits derived from the sale of treated timber will exceed those from untreated timber. Moreover, the greater use of chemically preserved wood will undoubtedly result in that wood giving a greater life in service. Hence, the amount of timber cut annually in the United States, simply to replace that which has decayed, will be materially decreased, and a further conservation of forest resources will result. Recent estimates by the forest service place this reduction at 10 percent of the total timber cut. The practical benefits of these experiments and of the investigations for the utilization of sawmill waste are at once apparent. PIGEONS COMPETE FOR PRIZES The California pigeon club will hold its third annual exhibition of fancy, utility and flying pigeons in Oakland, California, Dec. 10th to 13th inclusive. The pigeon industry on the Pacific coast is attracting much interest at present, and many persons are devoting their entire time to the business. Handsome silver trophy cups will be awarded to the best birds in the different varieties, and any person is at liberty to compete; also, there will be cash spee- BOARD OF CITY TRUSTEES Hear Reports, Issue Building Permits, Transact Routine Business The city board of trustees met in regular session on Thursday evening: present Trustees Rust, Fiscus, Gates, Stock and Kroeger.
