THE TRAIL
Somewhere,
Out there in that land
Of peace, I'll find rest
To my life, uncover
The mystery of soul.
Escape from the heavy hand
Of work-born care.
Somehow,
Some day,
The trail will set
I may discover
There a pattern
Not now, perhaps, yet
Some time, I know
Me free of sorrow.

GREETINGS
The twenty-ninth graduating class of
foresters and the forestry club of the
school bring the nineteenth volume of
the Annual Cruise to you.
The issue is unique in its attempt to
bring to prospective technicians a resume
of employment opportunities in forestry
and fields closely allied.
The staff extends its greetingshoping
that it has been of service to those who
have not yet chosen their vocation. They
have set up no pretty mirages, but are
sure of this thingforestry as a pro-
fession is quite new; changes are being
made constantly, and as long as the
pioneering spirit remains, there is much
work to be done.
Forestry's Future
Forestry's future pattern in America
will be largely determined by those factors
which contribute to the growing up of a
nation. Materialistically the great job
of the people of the United States, as
they have progressively taken over the
land, has been the conversion of nature's
gifts to their needs and enrichment. The
nation's material resources have been
translated: some into capital, some used
to meet operating costs, and some wasted.
in a nutshell, this spells the history of
the progressive occupancy of any undeveloped country by a civilized race.
With the progress of the years there
has been an evolution in the methods of
use and, in consequence, in the nation's
attitude. With "unlimited resources" conservation seemed unnecessary. But the
disappearance of the "horse" made necessary some thought about getting back
the equine and locking the door. In a
word, the nation has carelessly allowed
many natural resources to escape. Some
never can be restored; others can, though
much the worse for rough use. A very
few by skillful treatment can be made
as productive as ever.
The future of forestry? It will be a
long job of building back, fitting into
the whole program of land use, i. e., the
highest use for the longest time. Then,
as a part of the process, fitting the primary forest product, wood, into a highly
organized technological system, involving
synthetic boards, destructive distillation
plants, and an undreamed of expanded
recreation program which is becoming a
major use.
The future forester? Gradually he will
evolve along definite lines, a specialist
in this and a specialist in that. The real
foresters, of coursegrowing trees. Many
others with basic forestry trainingexperts in fish and game, in landscaping
iecreation grounds, and as preservers of
scenic beauty.
The future of forestry? An expanded
program of land use, with use governed
by the dictates of a technological age and
a highly refined social system. Some of
the romance will go, to be sure, but the
green gods of the forest will always be
blood brothers to the true woodsman.
George W. Peavy.
GEORGE W. PEAVY, President of Oregon State
College, Dean of the School of Forestry; B.S.
'95; M.S.F. '05, Sc.D. '36 (all at University
of Michigan) ; LL.D. (Willamette '37).
To the "Dean" we owe the credit for building our school into a large society of which we
are proud. Since 1910 he has sparked us into
the second largest school of its kind in Amer-
In 1934, after many years of teaching,
he was made President of the College. The
presidency demands most of his time, but his
ica.
heart is with forestry; and as the Dean of
the forestry school he lends inspiration and
friendship to the fernhopper gang.
The hiking picture on this page was taken
many years ago, but, like our Dean, does not
seem to grow old.
EARL G. MASON, Assistant to the Dean, Professor of Forestry; B.S.F. '20, M.F. (Yale '23).
"Mase's" office has always had an open door
for those who wanted curricular or vocational guidance. A product of our own School of Forestry,
he knows our problems and aspirations. He was
the first editor of The Annual Cruise and also was
once the National Forester of Xi Sigma P1, the national forestry honorary. His practical experience
in forestry work has included a Junior Forester
appointment to Region 2 on timber surveys, and an
office manager of a box factory. With philosophical humor "Mase" can hold his own in any man's
bull fest. One of his pets is a five year forestry
course; it was he who organized the present set-up.
As professor or assistant Dean, he always has a
chair opposite his ready for a visitor.
T. J. STARKER, B. S. F. '10, Professor of Forestry, Head of Department of Technical
Forestry.
"Prof" seems to have survived pretty well the
first class of forestry at 0. S. C. Appointed first
to the Whitman National Forest, he was transferred to the Cascade National Forest, now the
Willamette. He came to Oregon State from a
job as traveling secretary and manager with the
Western Pine Association. Now he wants to own
all the second growth Douglas fir in Oregon.
H. R. PATTERSON, Jr., B. S., Professor of Logging Engineering, Head of Department of Logging Engineering.
"Pat" is the head man among the loggers of

experience after graduation from the University

of Oregon in '09, he started teaching at 0. S. C. in
'20. He spent one year at Stanford in '29-30.
Fly fishing fits in with Pat's idea of sport but
"no nigger fishing".
R. M. EVENDEN, B. S. L. M. '31, M. S. F. '32,
Assistant Professor of Wood Products.
"Bob" placed his claim with the Potlatch Forests in Idaho on completing his M. S. at Oregon
State. Dry kiln research, editing a company publication, and the duties of a production analyst
and employment manager kept Bob busy in the
pine country for five and a half years. He
knocks 'em cold in Wood Properties and says he's
a smoothy at handball.

KEARNS, B. S. F.
'30,
M. S. F. '31, Assistant Professor
of Forestry.
"Dick" left behind a fine record
with the Young's Bay Lumber Co.
at Warrenton when he left them
to work for the Pacific
Northwest Forest Experiment Station. His pedagogical experience
at 0. S. C. began in '32 and alternated with experiment station
in '31
work until '35, when he became
attached to the school full time.
C. RICHEN B. S. F. '35, Instructor
in Forestry.
Clarence worked with the Portland Forest Experiment Station be-
fore coming to Oregon State this
year. At the station he practiced
logging economics, timber manage-
ment, and milling practices.
In
spare time he and Glenn Voorhies
try to establish the morphological
difference between Abies nobilis
and Tsuga heterophylla.
H. J. VAUX, B. S. (Haverford Col-
lege '33), M. S. (Univ. of Cal.
'36), Instructor in Forestry.
Our friend Mr. Vaux is a new
member of the fernhopper gang.
After a siege of three years of
graduate work at Cal., he did some
experimenting at the California
Experiment Station. From there
he went to the Crown Willamette
Paper Co. for a fourteen-month's
paper chase. A tennis shark, he
frequently scores "love-all".
W. F. McCULLOCH, B. A. (U. of
B.C. '25), M.S. (N.Y. State
Coll. of For. '36), Assistant Professor of Forestry.
"Mac" was at the U. of W. and
on the faculty of N. Y. and Mich.
State before coming here. Cruiser,
ranger, chief of party, director of
f o r e s t experiment station, FS
launch skipper, builder, railroad
foreman, etc., now he's glad to be
back on the coast.
C. J. BUDELIER, B. S. '17, Instructor in Logging
Engineering.
"Bude" has been everything from a lumber
jack to an assistant superintendent of a metropolitan department store. Classes get the real
thing in his forest engineering labs. He taught
at Michigan State last summer. "Bude" would
rather travel and see things than chew, and tells
us he'll be teaching in N. Y. State College this
summer session.
VOORHIES, B. S. F. '29, M. S. F. '30, Instructor in Wood Products.
Glenn's experience includes five seasons with
the USFS working from lookout to assistant
ranger, five and a half years with the C. D.
Johnson Lumber Corporation in charge of kiln
seasoning and the past two summers on administration and research for the Long Bell Lumber Company. Glenn spends his spare time popping quizzes and other wild animals.

NETTLETON,
B. S. F.
'21,
M. S. F.
(Idaho '28), Assistant Professor of Forestry.
Assistant director of land management on
the Navajo, and National Forester for Xi Sigma
Pi are two of Harry's unique experiences. More
than a year of teaching at Oregon State in
1922-23, followed by seven years at Idaho, combined with six years of Indian Service work endows "Net" with excellent practical experience
for his popular (?) "mense" courses. "Scaling
stories" are Harry's favorites.

Forest School students the country over
are keenly interested in learning of the
prospective employment oport'unities
when they graduate. This is particularly
true now that the curtailment of the New
Deal expansion of forestry appears to
be at hand.
The problem involves not only the immediate but also the long time situation
that is motivated mainly by the tendency
of more and more high school graduates
to attend college. In addition, the passbig of pioneer times has tended to make
the lack of a college education a greater
comparative handicap than has been the
pioneered in the field of wild land management. It should be expected that foresters
will be employed in many phases of this
work. At least certain phases of soil conservation, outdoor recreation, wild life
management, grazing, and similar types
of work are now giving employment to
foresters, and there seems to be no reason
why this should not continue to be so.
In Oregon particularly, the field
of
wood products is becoming a desirable one
for foresters to enter. Oregon is almost
certain to be an important lumbering state
case heretofore.
The real question involved is not one
of whether all graduates in forestry are
placed in professional work. It is rather,
for at least a generation, even if we continue the practice of cutting out and getting out. Since about two-thirds of the
industrial jobs are now in the lumbering
industry, it should follow that reasonably

It should also be remembered that the
lumbering industry is faced with a complexity of managerial problems that requires better educated managers than it
has in the past. The timber is no longer
readily accessible to streams, and the

The senior student in forestry is naturally greatly interested in the employment
situation as it will be this coming summer.
On the other hand, the high school senior

Two or three years ago there was an
acute shortage of foresters. However,
present indications are that this shortage
will be replaced in the immediate future
by a temporary oversupply of recently

forestry as a profession three years ago
with the belief that there were unlimited

Foresters in Action
Alouette, gentle Alouette;
Alouette, je te plumeraiTo the tune of their theme song, familiar to KOAC radio fans everywhere,
Oregon State fernhoppers are still "going
to town". Through the medium of Foresters in Action, the 0. S. C. forestry
club is reaching into homes all over the
West, spreading the doctrine of good
fellowship and love of the out-of-doors.
Started last year, as a means of bringing "culture" to the doorsteps of "Brushwallopers," this group has made rapid advancement. George Schroeder, present
manager of the program, was the original
character, reading such stories as that of
the talking deer remembered by many
of the earlier listeners. Gradually, as
auditions were held, characters were add-
ed, until the program reached a peak in
the spring term of 1937.
However, graduation came along scattering the cast. "Pop" Schroeder was
faced with the task of rebuilding the
person submitting the best story received
a one-dollar prize, and the material was
used as subject matter for the program.
The publicity resulting from the contest
resulted in such an increase in interest
by club members that the cast became
almost too large. There were more than
fifteen characters at almost every broadcast, Fernhoppers swarmed in, shedding
their calked boots, tin coats and stagged-
off pantsmaking the supreme sacrifice
to perform in their program.
They received recognition, too. Radio
stations from such far-away places as
Spokane and San Francisco were so favor-
ably impressed that they requested extra
copies of the scripts. Who knows? We may
some day hear our programs broadcast
from California; hear "Carpie" tell bear
stories over the NBC or CBS networks.
Jimmie Morris, KOAC program director, has acted as coach, giving val-
uable advice based on his experience. His
success is evidenced by the very few cases
of "mike" fright.
In fact, so confident is George Schroeder of the ability of our foresters, that
he is planning to initiate two programs a

Future of Range Management
Ross Young blood, Senior
It is necessary for the forester today
to have a background consisting of more
than the word "forestry" or "forester" denotes. Accordingly, the educators have
mapped out a well-rounded program for
forestry students which gives the student
an insight into such problems as range
nianagement,
recreation,
and
wildlife,
along with the regular forestry courses.
Even though the full benefits of the forestry curricula cannot be obtained in four
years, the student entering into the fouryear struggle in forestry should single
out a minor line of pursuit in addition
to his regular forestry courses.
Because the national forests are in many
areas important as grazing land, an embryo forester can well afford to minor
in range management. Not only is it
closely related to forestry, but it is
just as interesting, provided the student
does not look upon the livestock industry
In some national forests in this

where grazing is an important element.

Probably management of livestock on
the national forest always will be handled
by the Forest Service. The opportunities
of securing employment with this division
lie almost entirely in the ability one has
in passing the Junior Forester civil service examination. Present indications, I
believe, do not allow one to predict any
significant expansion in Forest Service

management. However, one must remember that the Forest Service controls only
a slight portion of the lands classified

logical compromise is probably the answer
to the place of radio in the woods. The
telephone fills a definite need for steady,
reliable, heavy traffic communication; but
the radio, as an accessory and emergency
unit, is invaluable. Certainly it is true
that the forester can no longer afford to
disregard radio communication. The radio

get in touch with headquarters at any

Beatty dropped the work in 1931, and
J. V. Horton put A. Geal Simson in charge
of the project. The sets have shriveled in
size and weight and increased in reliability
as a result of his work. Types have been
developed for almost every need, and code
has practically been discarded in favor of
voice transmission and reception.
At the present time there are several
types of radio sets in use.
The type P radio, a 9 pound unit, trans-
mits code only, but receives both voice
and code. Its working range is 20 miles.
The type PF radiophone, weighing about
15 pounds, transmits and receives both
voice and code and has a working range
of 10 miles for voice and 20 miles for
code.
The PF kitbox is a small chest
carrying heavier duty batteries than are
regularly furnished with the PF radiophone and half-wave antenna for semipermanent installation. The kitbox weighs
35 pounds and is designed to serve look-
equipment depots, and for use as a central
station on large project fires.
The type T radiophone transmits and
receives voice only, weighs from 50 to 100
pounds depending on the batteries used,
and has a working range of about 50
miles over optical paths. The set is designed for standby operations and lookout
and has a built-in loud speaker.
The most widely used ultra-high frequency set is the type S radiophone which
transmits and receives voice only, weighs
about 8 pounds, and also has a rated working range of about 50 miles over optical
paths. This set uses the same circuit for
both transmitting and receiving and has
been used by smoke-chasers, scouts, and
fire chiefs on large fires.
The type A radiophone is constructed
for airplane use. This set can be installed
in a few minutes. It transmits and receives from the plane to the ground and
weighs 25 pounds exclusive of the power
supply.
Type U is an A.C. operated ultra-high

For the past three years the college has
been allotted money by the National Youth
Administration. The money is used to
give assistance to students who need part-
time employment in order to complete
their schooling.
The allotment to the school this year has
been curtailed to a great extent but under
the direction of R. S. Kearns, assistant
professor of forestry, the work of previous years is being continued.
Most of these N. Y. A. students, varying
in number from fifteen to twenty-seven,
work in the Peavy Arboretum and Mc-
Donald Forest, going to work each weekend in Forest School trucks.
Roderick Blacker and later Bert Udell,
have been in charge of a crew of from two
to four men which is taking a complete
inventory of planted stock in the Peavy
Arboretum. The stock is small, varying
from three to twelve feet in height. The
species, diameter, height, vigor, and placement of each tree is being recorded. This
work is done in units of a square chain
each, inventory sheets being used with a
scale large enough to record placement
down to the square foot.

The Forestry Club dances have al-
ways been outstanding campus functions;
but this year's early autumn Forester's
Ball, being a repetition of last year's,
marks the inauguration of a new tradition
in the college social calendar.
In spite of a very short time to get
ready, full support of all forestry students and hard work by the committee
chairmen made the Forester's Ball a success. The theme carried out in decorations, programs, and even music was appropriately "Cabin of Dreams."
General chairmen were Ernie Taylor
and Chuck Samson. George Harrington
was in charge of publicity, and "Mack"
MeClendon managed ticket sales. The
dance programs, chosen by Clyde Walker
and Ray Kimmey, emphasized the Cabin
of Dreams motif.
Floyd Scott excelled in his arrangement
of evergreen trees and greenery about the

Control of Blister Rust
Editor's note-White pine blister rust,
Cronartium ribicola, is a parasitic fungus
on five-needle pines. In its life cycle it
has an alternate host which may be
either currant or gooseberry, in the Ribes
family. The spores originating on the pine
are quite viable and may infect ribes
150 miles or more away. On the other
hand, spores produced on ribes are not so
viable and can infect only those pines which
are less than 1000 feet away. This characteristic offers a means of control since 00
pine can become infected if all ribes are
eradicated within a radius of 1000 feet. It
is hoped that the student can gain a conception of the complexities of this program
and the opportunities it offers to an
interested worker.
Control of white pine blister rust de-
pends upon the satisfactory completion of
an adequate protective program. Such
a program involves four stages, each of
which depends upon the one preceding.
Efficiency is the byword to an effective
control program.
PRE-ERADICATION In an extensive
survey all pine areas are located from
actual examination of pine regions, ar-
ticles on timbered areas, or information
from the residents of various districts.

The hand method of control is most
widely used in the West. The work is
arranged systematically so as to cover
all the areas infected using a working
unit of one square mile. A standard

larger or smaller. The men work nearly
abreast with the guiding man following
a string line slightly ahead. On man lays
the string which determines the width of
the working strip, varied according to the
type of ground being worked. The crew

OUR McDONALD FOREST
On the hills northwest of Corvallis are
3310 acres of second-growth Douglas fir,
representative of the best in the Willamette valley region. All young fernhoppers learn to dodge brush and run a
compass and transit here, not to mention
gctting the feel of mattock and axe. The
sundry skills thus acquired prove invaluable, when later on the job, these same
fernhoppers apply book-learnin' to field
conditions.
Also forestry students can
earn money for school expenses by cutting
cordwood in the Forest.
However, 'twas not always thus. The
first purchase of 300 acres on the main
hilltop, through which now runs the Sch-

time from funds obtained by subscription
and gifts.

to furnish a system whereby forest products may be removed with minimum dif-

Plans are for seven entrances to the
Forest to facilitate utilizing its resources.
There are now four entrances to the Forest: one from Lewisburg, one through
the Arboretum, one by way of Sulphur
Springs, and the new Oak Creek entrance.
By way of Oak Creek the Forest is within
five miles of the college whereas the other
three entrances are about seven miles
distant.
On a recent tour of inspection several
leading Forest Service silviculturists of
the region expressed approval of the system of marking which has been worked
out to fit the particular conditions existing on the Forest.
There are four separate and fairly
distinct activities going on in the college

New Jobs for Fernhoppers
Frederick H. Vogel, Grad. Ass't. Mich. State
There will be some readers of this
edition of the Annual Cruise who can
easily remember back to the days when a
forester needed only to know how to throw
a diamond hitch, to shoot straight, and
to fight forest fires. Most all the readers
will be able to recall the recent times
when a forester needed only to be trained
in technical forestry to get a supervisory
job. Both these eras are gone forever.
Modern foresters are expected to know
more than technical forestry; modern
products majors to know more than logging, lumbering and manufacturing. The
routine college courses are only a foundation nowa skeleton of bare bones upon
which the student himself must lay the
I believe an overproduction of foresters
is a blessing to forestry, not a blow. As
long as the demand for foresters equals
or exceeds the supply, almost every
trained man is employed without much re-
gard for his ability. From now on, the
profession will have the "pick of the crop"
for the administrative jobs, and a goodly
proportion of lower caliber, trained men
for skilled and unskilled labor. Other
established industries and professions have
had the same situation to face for a long
time, and none have suffered from it. For
years forestry schools have looked upon
the U. S. Forest Service as the logical
outlet for their graduates. That has
been so only because we had an underproduction of foresters up until recent years.
Now we will begin a program of discover-
well-rounded body, of success.
Theories and fancies of the past have
suddenly become definite entities. We
no longer debate the economic feasibility,
for instance, of putting a forest on austamed yield game management; we PUT
it on and analyze the results with modern,
ing many outlets for our graduatesout-
lets as logical as the U. S. Forest Service,
but overlooked because the need was not
recognized.
Probably the least crowded field left
for an ambitious young forester today is
that of active promotion. Few realize
the vast opportunities open in this line
to a man with enough initiative and foresight to ground himself thoroughly in any
field and then to sell his knowledge and
enthusiasm to a sales association, a public or private organization, or to the pub-
analytical methods. We do not wait or
people to learn the nature of our utiliza-
tion work; we employ public relations men
and promotion experts to cram our theories into the eyes and ears of our public.
We no longer sit idle and watch competi-
tion take our business away; we build
millions of dollars worth of laboratories
to find new uses for our products and improved methods for their production. We
lic directly.
Our answers would be shorter if, in-
are beginning to fight back, and are
stead of asking us what branches of
doing a good job of it. The same with
our forestry graduateswe will find new
and better outlets for them, and better
forestry or wood products offered such an
opportunity, the neophyte forester would
ask us how many branches did not offer
the opportunity. Offhand, there does not
seem to be a single product that is selling near its absolute peak, nor a single
line of endeavor thoroughly understood
by the public. It remains for the young
nian seeking a job to decide on the field
he wishes to advertise or the product he
wishes to exploit. Beyond that, his initiative and originality will determine his
degree of success. His four years of
undergraduate study must be subordinate
to the task of garnering every reasonable
bit of available information on the chosen
line or product. Above all else he must
be prepared to battle competitors' claims,
or better still, to anticipate them. The
average college man absorbs, casually,
only the bare essentials laid out for him
by the committee on minimum requirements. He goes through college with only
methods of training them to fit the changing needs of industry.
There is an answer to the cry of the
competition-smothered, embryo forester:
"MAKE WORK!" That is the answer.
Equip yourself, young Fernhopper, to im-
prove yoir profession with something
more than is already in books. Httnt for
new fields to conquer instead of following
the same path that thousands before you
have taken. Where the people cry for
steel, devise means to make them cry for
wood; where there is waste, build a :ew
industry to utilize it; where the profession
uses arithmetic, employ super-statistics;
where there is ignorance, throw light
but be sure your flame is a wood-burning
one. Above all, do it yourself; don't wait
for some overworked forestry professor to
point out your way.

the vaguest notion of what he may do
when he graduates.
There is always much opportunity in the
general field of improving some existing
method of manufacturing or of handling
some routine executive or administrative
procedure. As in the straight promotion
game, long preparation is again the answer. The young man who aspires to
this work must learn the fundamentals
as well as the refinements of the job be-
fore he begins to promulgate his ideology.
That means, ordinarily, apprenticeship
along with the schooling.
I believe it is impossible in a short
article to outline a surefire shortcut to
success in the promotion or efficiency
games, but I will say definitely that the
successful man needs more mathematics,
especially statistical theory, and needs
more English composition and public
speaking than is ordinarily required in
a standard four-year course.
The final point to our argument comes
from a glance down the column of old
graduates listed in the alumni section of
this journal. Many grads whom we knew
to have started out in promotion or efficiency work are listed there, but only
a small fraction have remained at that
work; they have been invited to take re-
sponsible administrative jobs in the organizations which they worked to help. When
they didn't find a job, they made one.
That is your answer, young Fernhoppers
Avery's Woodlot
George M. Hansen, Junior
All old grads in forestry will be inter
ested in the changes being made in one of
the oldest landmarks used by the School
of Forestry. Avery's woodlot, as it is
well known, has been in use for labora-
tory studies since 1910, just one year
younger than the School itself.
Present plans call for development of
the 60-acre tract into what Prof. Starker
calls "a natural park of pristine beauty."
It has been said that if a California community had such a development, it would
be worth millions and would be a major
asset of the community.
Avery's woodlot was held for many
years by the heirs of the old Avery
estate, the original Avery being one of
the first settlers of Corvallis. Several
city additions have been named after him.
The Lions Club of Corvallis secured the
area for the summer of 1937 on a rental
basis with option to buy and proposed
propaganda to acquaint the people of Corvallis with its possibilities. The area
was made accessible to picnic parties,
improvements made for swimming in the
Mary's river, and a deep well drilled.
influenced the Corvallis City Council to
exercise its option to purchase the site for
the price of $6000.
The first exercise of the silviculture
class of the fall of 1937 was to make a
type map for improvement of the area.
This was submitted to Mr. Fred Cleator,
a recreation examiner of the U. S. Forest
Service, for his suggestions. Mr. Cleator

the Forest Service and graduate of the
of Landscape Architecture of

Three-fourths of the area is covered
with timber. The slow-moving Mary's
river borders the land on three sides, and
makes an ideal picnic and recreation
area for large or small groups.
The area will soon boast of many recreational features such as the following:
swimming facilities and bath-houses for
several "holes", a boat or canoe house,
play areas for children, a natural amphitheatre, a concession stand and community
kitchen, two soft ball diamonds, sanitary
facilities, footbridges, and picnic areas
for families or large organizations. The

A Summer of Timber Cruising

Willamette National Forest last summer,

For a while after a trip all that was heard
was the expression "Oh boy, did I have
a good time last week-end." This would
explained what we had to do during the
summer. We had approximately 20,000
acres of timber that needed to be cruised.
We were to do as much of it as we could
during the time we were in the field.
The first day in the field was a day of
keep up for days until someone would
say "Well, am I going to have a good
time the NEXT time I go into town."
Then the topic of conversation would
change from what had happened to what
was going to happen.
In camp there were many diversified
things to take our time. There were
ten or eleven mining claims within a mile
or so of our first camp, and the visits to
"breaking in" for the members of the
party. We spent the day in running our
primary control along the section lines
from which we were to run our strips.
We ran this control by the double Abney
method, reading our Abneys to tenths of
a foot to get greater accuracy in our topographic maps that we made while cruising. We set and numbered stakes to make
the strips easier to find.
We used the standard Forest Service

recreation. We packed in a car radio with
a storage battery to help us keep in touch
with the outside world. Then, too, there
was the fine fishing in the North Fork of
the Willamette only five miles from camp.
In our second camp, we built an over-
10 per cent cruise method with two men on
a party.

During the summer we were sent out on
one fire. We located the fire in a snag
This method has proved the most desirable on the Forest Service cruises in
the Pacific Northwest where the timber
is good. In some rare cases, when we
were working in very poor timber, we
made a 5 per cent cruise of the stand.
Our work was not finished with the
end of the day. There was a lot of office
that had been struck by lightning and
managed to fell it within a few hours.
That was the extent of our protective

After we left our first camp, we were

The Eleventh Annual Banquet
George M. Hansen, Janior
Feeding 619 men in a hail whose plate
capacity is only 618 is quite an accomplishment. Even so there were visitors who
didn't get their turkey. The quota of
student tickets was exhausted three days
before the gathering. However, arrange-
ments are already being made so that
next year's banquet will accommodate all
friends of forestry who care to attend.
The program was declared one of the

Sustained production demands expansive timber resources which
in turn demands trained foresters for

obstacles must yet be overcome, such as
stain (in pine), check, warp, and the
effects of casehardening. In addition to
these difficulties the products research
man is attempting to answer such questions pertaining to seasoning as: how
high is the practical economic limit of the
rate of air circulation? What size spacers

various thicknesses of stock? How low

Dear Lisle:
Here's to Old Mexico where burros continue to offer stiff competition to the ad-
vance of the motor age, except on the
highways at night, and where oxen are
still used for plowing, oblivious of the industrial revolution. All of the Indians go
to market once a week carrying, often on
their heads, their wares such as baskets,
crockery, zarapes, live chickens and pigs,
etc. A river is the scene of the weekly
wash where any rough rock makes a suitable washing board.
These primitive Indians in the mountains of interior Mexico may still work
oxen, burros, and themselves instead of
niodern trucks and tractors. Nevertheless,
we in the States might well take a few
lessons from them in erosion control on
steep mountain hillsides.

About 600 miles south of the Texas

The old trite saying of "unusual" con-
ditions in southern California is more than
a reality when one attempts to promote
a program of farm forestry with an average annual rainfall of about 14 inches,
85 per cent of which is concentrated in
about four months. This past year we
experienced a dry period of about nine
months. Naturally it is very difficult to
get trees established sufficiently to live
throughout the long dry summer. Many
species require summer irrigation with
tank trucks to bring them through, however some test plantings came through
this past exceptionally dry summer with-
Each year a small plot of ground was
cleared of its tropical or more temperate
forest, depending upon the altitude. After clearing, the ground was left without
plowing to permit the roots of the cleared
forest to hold the soil in place. Seeds of
beans, bananas, coffee, papayas, or some
other equally suitable plant are then poked
into the ground at any time of the year.
After the season's crop is harvested, the
plot is allowed to return to forest, which
it does to a height of several feet within
a year. The Mexican farmer then selects a new plot for clearing and planting

During the 1936-1937 planting season
the SCS planted about 150,000 trees and
shrubs in the southern part of the state,
which includes Los Angeles County and
those south. The present season we anticipate planting about 200,000 trees and
shrubs. The farmers have shown a great
deal of interest in the program and have
cooperated to the extent of watering the
trees during the summer and cultivating
them in the spring. We have used about

Corvallis Fuel Survey
Outstanding in the field of research at
Oregon State College is a fuel survey of
Corvallis business and residential sections.
The survey, under the direction of Assis-
tant Professor R. S. Kearns, seeks information pertaining to the city fuel industry.
This includes in part an analysis of fuel
consumption by studying different fuel
types in use, a study of labor conditions in
the fuelwood industry, and also an anal-
ysis of operating methods used in that
industry.
The survey consisted of a 25-50 per cent
house-to-house canvass. This work, which
was aided by almost complete cooperation
from Corvallis residents, was finished at
the end of winter term. Fuel statistics
resulting from a study of the data will
be recorded spring term. Forestry freshmen on the census were Dunn, Alexander,
and Ireland. Palmer, junior, and Carlich,
senior, are also working on the survey.
A study of its principal objectives will
show the value of the fuel survey. One
of its main purposes is to determine the
amount of fuel consumed in the city annually. This information may well be
used to foster a sound program of wood
production so that an adequate fuel source
may be had for future years.
Its second objective is a social one, for
the survey may be of value possibly by
offering a solution to the local unemployment problem. This might be done by
interlocking employment in agriculture
with that of the fuel industry. Under
present conditions a large number of sea-
Eugene McNulty, Freshman
sonal workers can easily find farm work
in the summer months; however, during
the winter months there is little demand
for farm labor and so unemployment results.
Should the survey find that a
material increase in the use of fuel wood
is forthcoming, the establishment of more
farm woodlots would be encouraged. By
proper forest management and by making
the cutting and hauling of fuel wood a
major part of the winter farm work
men now idle could find at least part
program, it is probable that a number of
time employment in the woods.
The third objective of the survey is a
study of the economy of the various fuels.
To some extent an estimation of the most
economical fuel to use in the home may
be had by a comparison of fuel costs for
the average home which uses wood with
the cost of heating the same type of building where some other fuel is in use. However, since each home presents a different
problem because of the many factors involved such as construction, size, and the
type of heating unit in use, no true standard of the relative merits of each fuel has
been found.
It can be seen that the Corvallis fuel
survey is not only valuable to the city
in outlining a program of continued fuel
production, and in stressing the value of
farm woodlots as a possible source of increased income and employment during the
winter months, but also in developing the
relative economy of various fuels.

APPRECIATION
We are grateful indeed for the unmeasurable assistance
given to us in preparing this Cruise. Without the help of
many associates and friends the magazine would not yet
have been written.
Although we cannot well express our gratitude in any
way, we take this means to say our thanks.
Mr. L. D. Bell, of the Franklin Press, is the master of
all our odd layouts and page make-ups.
Through the assistance of N. L. Cary, the Western
Pine Association has made possible the loan of printing
plates for our coverknotty ponderosa pine paneling.
Mr. Robert J. Black, of Hicks-Chatten Engravers, assisted in the careful planning of illustrations and layouts.
To T. T. Munger and R. W. Cöwlin from the experiment
station, and to Wm. Rush of the Biological Survey, thanks
for the time and effort they took to supplement the student
writings in this issue.
Mr. E. T. Reed, College Editor, was always willing to
assist the staff in obtaining cuts for some of the beautiful
pictures and portrait studies appearing within these hundred pages.
Thanks to the American Forestry Association for the
loan of division page cuts and many others.
Dr. S. H. Peterson and others outside this school have
indirectly aided the staff, as has all of the faculty of the
school. Our adviser, Professor R. S. Kearns, and E. .
Mason, assistant to the Dean, have materially assisted us.
Finally, we are glad to thank several of the staff who
have worked both white and black hoursday and night.
George M. Hansen, Herb Sampert, Dick Fry, Larry Gangle,
and Bruce Starker have spent long hours on the necessary
run of copy-reading and proof-reading.
The Editor.

To the west, at a distance of oniy 26
miles, lies the blue expanse of the Pacific.
Sometimes buried in a mantle of fog,
often blue and sparkling or burnished by
the sun, this new sight offers a refreshbig contrast.
The mountain itself is very attractive,
and the Forest Service plans that it shall
lose none of its charm. The silvery-blue
noble fir on the summit will be protected
from fire and cutting as there can be no
interference with the delicate balance of
forest growth at this high altitude. The
large grassy meadows will be unchanged
except for an occasional grazing steer.
The deer will still wander and browse,
safe and protected in this game refuge.
The advent of men will necessitate certain desirable changes. A lofty lookout
tower will stand on the highest point. The
drinking water supply will be made easily
available. Safe places to build a camp-
make it particularly adapted to such development. At the present the mountain
is isolated in the winter because of poor
roads. After a year-round road has been
completed, the use for this type of recreation will probably become intensive.
There has already been a ski club organized at the college, and it is urging immediate road construction.
Through the cooperation of Mr. Brundage, Assistant Regional Forester, the
School of Forestry has been offered the
opportunity of establishing experimental
tracts in the area and may even get a
chance at actual cutting. There is a
wide variety of conditions and timber
types in the area, and the school is very
fortunate in having this opportunity tendered. Here is a splendid chance for dem-
onstration work that would have wide
public contact.
When it is fully developed, Mt. Chintimini, as it is sometimes called, will be
a mecca for thousands of Oregon people
who now have to travel many miles to
enjoy the out-of-doors.

general utility building 22 by 60 feet has
been finished. A packing room and a
cold storage room are in the basement.
A tool room and work shop, and a large

machine shed 24 by 60 feet has been constructed. Plans are under way to construct
a nurseryman's dwelling and a ten-man
crew house. An artificial lake that will
store seven million gallons of water for
irrigation purposes has been completed. A
four-inch main line will run from this lake
through the nursery. This line will supply
an over-head water system which will be
erected. This type of watering system
gives good service in practically all forest
nurseries. The C.C.C. camp located on
the Peavy Arboretum is doing this work.

then applied to commercial operation. Of
course, some problems do not require this
procedure, but the methods of many research projects may contain these ele-
ients.
If the research department has a large
staff, the discussion of the problem may
work out solutions which one man might
never see. An unsatisfactory solution
made by one member might suggest a
possible
correct
solution
to
another.
Younger men or men of average ability
thus may become extremely able because
of the personal contact and association
with experts in the field.
Sometimes small-scale test models ascertain what might be expected to happen
in actual commercial operation. Needless
expense is thus avoided in building incorrect equipment.
For example, if the particular project
were to determine the optimum size of
spacers to be used in a dry kiln load for
a certain thickness of lumber, a small-
scale model of the commercial kiln coull
be constructed. By noting the effect of
the various rates of air movements
through the lumber for each size of
spacing tested, the optimum size could be
selected. The data could be noted and the
conditions could be controlled more easily
in this type of set-up than could be done in
a commercial kiln. However, the final
results would be checked in a large kiln
and necessary adjustments made.
Such an experiment is typical of what
research can do for the lumber industry.
For years dry kiln operators have argued
with one another concerning the size of
spacers which will give the fastest drying
for the amount of lumber in the kiln,
their various claims running from one
half inch to about one and one half inches
for one inch lumber. The economic
importance is that such a difference in
size might easily result in a difference of
one hundred per cent in lumber capacity.
But the fact remains that usually the
operator has neither the time,
equipment, nor training to carry out such
tests. Here is the opportunity for trained
iiien to step into the field. They will
find little trouble in answering many
questions about which the lumber operator
kiln
is puzzled but has never taken the time
and effort to investigate. The established
Moore Reversible
Cross-Circulation Dry Kilns
are in operation in more than 1400
installations, drying all species of softwoods and hardwoods.
This modern drying system will give
you-
25 to 50 per cent more capacity
due to flat edge-to-edge stacking.
Better quality drying on low temperatures with a fast reversible circulation.
Lower stacking costs - just solid

With the fundamental groundwork laid,
there exists a real opportunity to help the

are difficult enough to furrow the brow
of the most experienced expert, but they

opportunity for national reputation to the
man who brings forth the most successful
solution, and the possibilities for future
development in this field appear among
the best in American industry.

is covered with ponderosa pine and on the
north slopes with its characteristic assoc-

MOVING LOGS
is heavy work
Pulling or pushing a heavy train of logs is a stiff, hard grind,
calling for steady, high sustained capacity.
Shay Geared Locomotives provide this.
Their three-cylinder engines give a smooth, even torque. Every
wheel is a driving wheel which gives high adhesive weight and
high tractive effort.
Shays, because of their flexible wheel base, go anywhere a car
can follow and satisfactorily pull their trains up grades, around
curves and over rough track.
Shays are designed for practical, economical logging railroad
service.
