Progress of Your Forestry Department
Th e second annual Forester is out and progress marches on.
Your Forestry D epartment, from th e days when you were on
the campus to the present, has grown to be the third larges t
department in terms of present day enrollment. Our branch at
Sault Ste. Marie this past year gave us th e largest number of
two-year men since its beginning. This, in itself, is a very pleasing
situation and speaks w ell for the fin e job the people there are
doing. The forester s coming from the Sault numbered twelve.
Next year the number will b e even greater according to present
indications. L ast year's graduating class was our largest with
thirty-six men going out with degrees in Forest Production. It
will be gratifying to you to know that every man was placed
in his chosen field. Five men of the group went on for their
Master 's work which should be comple ted this June. Again
private indus try accounted for th e bulk of the positions the boys
found waiting for them following their foul' years of forest
education; the Lake States in particular providing the job area
for the boys in the gr aduate category.

Much new equipment is coming into the Department, too
numerous to mention but will be conspicuous when you come
back to the campus for your annual visit. The most needed pieces
of equipment are a McCullough power saw and our n ew transportation vehicle, a 11f2-to n Dodge stake-body truck, capable of
moving 24 men without too much difficulty. No longer will you
be able to h ear that old refrain, "Who has a cal' for this or that
fi eld trip n ex t week?"
What can be called an improvement is our working agreement with the U. S. Forest Service, giving us an area close to
Camp Pori for cruising and timber marking practice. The area
also is of s ufficient size to last over a period of years. Yes!
w e will hav e the services of Forest Service personnel, especially
in th e timber marking as a h elp in making the program as fully
instructive as could be expected. The area covers so me 1600
acres of semi-virgin timber. Th e first cut calls for the removal
of approximately 1500 board feet per acre. It is an important
area for study , as this phase of timber, (re-Iogging phase) , is
coming in for more and more attention with the passing of the
all virgin timber s tands from our Lake States area. "J eff " will
be back with us th e latter part of June to carry out this important
school of instruction on care and maintenance of forest tools,
especially the power saw. L ast year his week of instruction
was a high light of the summ er camp program.
The Woods Industries School h as moved to the campus with
Harry Wago ner, Class of '46 guiding its destiny in the absence of
"Hammer" Steinhilb. Hamm er is getting his Master's degree at
State and will complete his work in June. Upon his return h e
will be promoted to the regular staff. Hammel' is one man who
deserv es a good promotion upon his return for a job well don e
at both th e Woods Industries School a nd our reg ular s umm er
camp.
Your summer camp h eadquarters need att.ention. W e, the
department, are sold on the area but the buildings need attention.
We are now discussing the possibility of metal quonset huts
20' x 40' as a s ubstitut e for the wooden buildings. Th ey will b e
a welcome addition, I assure you.
Our Upper P enins ula continues to be a most ideal out-of-door
laboratory, with abundant raw material and typical forest industries at hand for all phases of study. We continue to u sc
both as fully as possible.
W e reminded all alumni of th e Forestry R e union in 1951 but
b ecause of the war situation w e have b een forced to call this off.
L et's take a rain-check on that!

THE DEPARTMENT OF FORESTRY
Michigan College of Mining and Technology
Houghton, Michiga n
Location of the School
The Michigan College of Mining and Technology is located
at Houghton in the h eart of the timber-producing and woodutilizing district of the Upper P eninsula of Michigan, and of the
Lake States in general. Because of this id eal location for teaching
forestry, it has been possible to combine th e advantages of class
instruction with practical field · work during the whole of the
school year.
Forestry students at the College have th e opportunity of
getting their training in an area which has the most extensive
s tands of virgin northern hardwoods left in the Lake States.
There are many thousands of acres of pine, balsam, spruce, and
cedar which h ave never been logged . But there is, in addition ,
another side to the opportunities for the student. Not only can
he appreciate and fam iliarize himself with relatively unexplored
wilderness, but h e also is able to see practical forestry at work
Three large private timber-owning companies in the vicinity
h a ve committed part of all of their lands to selective logging.
Similarly, the nearby Ottawa National Forest is a vast study area
of forest management of abandoned cut-over lands and in secondgrowth timber. Frequent field trips are taken to selec ted locations
to study this practical forestry at first h ancl.
Training Given Students
Th e s ummer following the freshman year is devoted to a
complete course in field s urveying. During the summ er following
the sophomor e year, a summer camp is held at th e College's
"Camp Pori" in the Ottawa Na tional Forest. H er e nine weeks
of intensi ve instructions are given in those phases of forestry
which cannot be treated adequately in field work during the
r egular sch ool year. Heavy accent is placed on timber cruising,
forest type mapping, timber marking, log scaling, and allied
work. Experience gained in summ er camp is an invaluable asset
to the student when h e takes a job.
It is recommended that the third summer be sp ent by the
student in obtaining actual on -the-job experience with some
federal or state agency or some private concern. A number of
s ummer jobs with the U. S. Forest Service or th e National Park
Service are available through the Forestry D epartment.
Although h eavy accent is placed on giving th e Tech forester
all the advantages of practical "know-how", the curriculum is
adjusted to provide, in addition , a broad, w ell-ro unded background in the field of forestry. The student is r equired to take
co urses in soils, silvicultu re, forest pathology, wildlife management, logging, range management, forest law, and many others,
to enable him to compr ehend the complex and fin ely interwoven
- 13-
problems which face th e for es ter . H e is taught to appreciate
and to under s tand the probl e ms of th e game manager s, the soil
conservation men , a nd other for est use rs so that h e can truly
make the fores t provide th e gr eatest good for the mos t people.
The Job Outlook
The outlook for jobs in fores try is good. Wh er eas a decad e
ago the majority of fores try openings w ere with agencies of the
state or national governm ents, today mos t of our graduates find
employment in privat e indus try. The for es ter is coming to be
recognized as an indispensible part of every s uccessful forest
enterprise. Resources of virgin timber are rapidly being exhaus ted , and second-growth timber has beco me increasingly more
important as a so u rse of s upply . Th e technica lly trained for ester
is the key to maintaining that timber s upply.
Recreational Opportunities at the College
Hard work is not the only thing to which a Tech forester
can look forward. Located as h e is, in the . d eep north woods,
the out-of-doors man has an un parall eled opportunity to avail
himself of good huntin g and goo d fishing. "Big Game" is abundant. Deer are very numerou s. Black bear are fairly common,
and an occasiona l moose is r eported in the upper portion of t h e
Keweenaw P enins ula . The las t stron ghold of the timber wolf in
Eastern United States is in th e virgin timber of the Misery Bay
district, less than 30 miles from Houghton. Small game- snowshoe hare, ruffed grouse, sharptail grou se, etc .- is pl entiful. Some
of the best trout s treams in Michigan are within easy driving
dis tance of th e college. Excellent wall-eye, bass, and pike fishing
can be had on Portage Lake.
The headquarter s of Isle Roya le National Park is located in
Houg hton . The park itself is a virgin wild erness wh ere moose is
th e commonest big gam e and th e fishing mus t be experienced to
be believed. It is mos t easily r eached by boat from Houghton .
Every s umm er a number of T ech forestry students are employed
on the island.
Forestry s tude nts at th e College ha ve organized them selves
into a very active Fores try Club. Each fall the club sponsors a
"Buck Shoot" contes t and a " B ear Shoot". Each spring it puts
on a "Trout D erby ". Th e club h as been very active in campus
affairs and in prize competition during the school's winter
carnival. Th e Forestry Club's " Lumberjack Ball" is one of the
mos t unus ual and mos t s uccessful social function s of t he school
year. In addition to monthly meetings, the club holds annually
for it's members a " venison feed ", a " rabbit booyaw", and a "smelt
feed", each in its appropriate season .
General Information.
Men interested in enrolling in Forestry at the Michigan CoL
lege of Mining and Technology should contact Professor U. J .
Noblet, h ead, Forestry D epartment, or Ml'. L. F. Duggan, registrar. Complete details will be furnis h ed on requ est.

Forest Products Research Division
by
H er eford Garland, Director
Now in its fourth year of op eration , th e Fores t Products
Research Division s taff is adjustin g th e emphasis of its program
to th e current e merge ncy r equirements of indus try .
A high demand for all kinds of paper products has caused a
new inter est in expanding h ardwood pulpin g. A study completed
two years ago on the use of h ardwood logging residu e for container board manufacture in th e Upper P e ninsula is now b eing
seriously considered by industry . Chemical Engineer , Walter H.
Koepp, is studying the possibility of using the excess s upply of
Michiga n aspen for bleach ed paper pu lp. Establishing the valu e
of aspen pulp for th e rayon indus try is the objective of experimental work being conducted in cooperation with th e Forest
Products Laboratory a t Madiso n a nd a large rayon manufacturer.
A rapidly expanding hardwood industry has been studied inten sively , with the resulting indication that this product could be
economically manufactured from Michiga n raw materials that
are now in excess s upply.
With th e development of labor shortages in th e woods,
mech anization and safe ty research in logging hav e become
partic ularly important. Timber Technologist L eland W. Hooker ,
has had publish ed r ecently a "Woods Safety Handbook," and h e
contin ues to experiment with new logging equipm ent. Mechanical
Engineer Donald J . Yeadon , is rushing development on a bark
peeler of radically new design with th e prospect of getting it into
production this year.
Looking towards th e time wh en low-gr ade lumber will again
be a mark eting problem, a search is being contin ued for manu facturing me thods and products for this type of material. The
commercial developm ent of two new products using low-grade
h emlock lumber has been given technical support by the staff.
Technologis ts Arlie W. Toole and Carl W. Danielson, Jr., are
involved primarily with lumber utilization study.
A r ecent study of wood-using industries in the Upper
Peninsula has sh own that their number has approximately
doubled in th e past few year' and that th e expansion has b een
mainly in the small woodworking shops. The s taff has spent
considerable time in consulting on th e individual technical and
economic problems of these industries. In this work it has had
the active cooperation of th e Michigan Department of Economic
D evelopment.

American Forestry Association Convention
Me mbers of the America n Forestry Association and the
Canadian Forestr y Associ a tion go t togeth e r a t Eagle River, Wisconsin on October 9, 10, 11, in cele bration of th e form er's 75th
Anniversary and the la tter's 50th Ann iversary. Michigan Tech
Fores tr y Se niors were invited to th e outing, which , incidentally,
was so well organ ized that no on e experienced a dull moment
during the entire three-day trip.
,
Th e outdoor co nvention bega n with a morning progra m 111
which three spea ker s f: ummcd up the ov erall progr ess made in
Forestry during th e past 75 years. R. E . McArdle, assistant chief
of the U . S. Fores t Service, gav e the federal viewpo int; D. C.
Everest of the Marathon Cor por a tion gav e us the industrial slant,
and J . F. Kaylor, Maryland State Fores ter, spol~e for the Association of State Fores ters. Oth er interes ting speakers at the
convention w e re Dr. J am es P . Ada ms of the University of
Michigan, Robso n Black of th e Canadia n F or estry Association,
and Samuel T. Dana of th e Univ ersity of Michiga n. D ean Dana,
Robson Black, and Dr. Ada ms all ga ve formal speech es at the
banq uet, h eld the evening of October 10th in th e Eagle Riv er
grade school.
Monday noon, lunch was served a t the Trees for Tomorrow
Camp and at 1:30 P.M. Association me mbers and guests emba rked
on a conservation carava n by bus. Seventeen busses, each with
its own narrator , tr anspcrted us to th e various examples of
natural r esources at w ork , which included a cross section view
of soil, water , forests and wildlife man agement in a pattern of
so und la nd use.
Almon Pepper and Ed Faber , both Michiga n Tech al um ni
and District Foresters of th e Wisconsin D epa rtm ent of Conser vation, wer e present at th e convention in the role of tour guides.
It was certainly good to see th em again.
A highlight of th e conv ention was th e gigantic Paul B unyan
Barbecue, held th e first evening at th e Eagle Riv er Stadium . Th e
750 pounds of beef and 250 pounds of venison was put on th e
--18 .
spit a day ah ead of tim e and was simply terrific at barbecue time.
Meals, s uch as convention members experienced that evening, are
too few and far betwee n in a Forester 's lifetime. The tasty soup
which simm ered over op en fir es in huge iron kettles was better
than Grandma u ~ e d to make. Visitors were greeted at the door
by a lovely young thing who s tepped up and tied souvenir Paul
Bunyan bibs around th eir n ecks. There is omething about a
convention!
Our conservation carava n vi sited school forests, resort areas,
the Otter Rapids hydro-electric power plant, fores t plantations,
and wildlife areas, all with interest, but at noon time of the
second day , th e U. S. Forest Service put on a fire fighting display
that overwhelmed us. At least we were taken by complete
surprise when a fir e broke out along the shore of Trout Lake,
adjacent to wh er e we w er e enj oying our field lunch , and a Forest
Service fire fighting pla ne ca me down out of th e sky to extinguish
th e blaze . It was certainly a colorful de monstration of how an
up-to-date fire fighting unit can take advantage of the many
lakes in North ern Wisconsin to fight fires .
In th e third and final day of the convention , we motored out
to th e Rainbow Flowage and Weath er Station on the Wisconsin
River and sa w firs t ha nd jus t how industry stores and makes
maximum use of water. In the afternoon the National Container
Corporation demons trated a n ew portable wood chipper and
hydraulic load er. Whil e r e turing to our caravan h eadquarters
at the Trees for Tomorrow camp, th e g uides pointed out other
places of inter es t but an atmosph ere of gloom had enveloped .
convention members as th ey began to realize that all was coming
to an e nd . But it wa s a wond erful thre e days of terrific holiday.
Thank you again , Wisconsin and Trees for Tomorrow fore ver!

Activities of th e Fores try Club at th e Sault Branch were a
little slow in starting this year.
Th e prese nt forestry club consis ts of seven sophomore
foresters, eight fr es hme n for es ters, an agriculture student, a nd a
ge neral college student who is interested in for estry work. On
October 3 an election of officers was held. Also, an amendment
to the cons titution of th e club was passed. This amendment stated
that at leas t one of th e officers of the club must be a freshman,
and this on e is to be th e assis tant forester . More freshmen may ,
of course, be elected . It was felt that by this method there
would be a member in th e for estry club, who , from previous
experi ence would know th e procedure follow ed and thus be
a bl e to ma ke th e club more effici ent.
A major activity launched by the club this year was th e
showing of conser va tion film s each Tuesday at the college auditorium. Th ese were, at fri st, acquired for educational purposes
of the for es ters alon e. An increasing inter es t in the films was
taken by oth er m embers on th e campus. At th e present time the
pictures are shown to a nearly capacity crowd, including students,
instructors, school children , boy scout groups, etc. In January
th e chemistry Club joined with an additional picture shown after
th e forestry films. Other activities of the club includ ed two s uccessful dances and an entry in the float contest durin g Hom ecoming.
Plans are now und er way for the annual smelt fry . Since the
a rmy has tak en our fonn er r eclining spot we are forced to find a
n ew location . Pla ns have also been drawn up for a planting
proj ect on th e campus, with hopes of makin g it an annual
activity of th e club. It has bee n s uggested that a number of r ed
pin e be planted. This has bee n approved, and will be furth er
ins tated at a later date.
M embers of the club are enthusiastic and the activities hav e
increased to a point wh er e the Forestry Club has become on e
of th e more outsta nding and activ e clubs on th e campus.

BUCK SHOOT
By Harold Brushc
The Forestry Club's Annual Buck Shoot this year got off
with a bang, as many eager nimrods took to the woods in search
of the elusive buck. L ecal residents as well as Tech hunters
participated in an attempt to bring a buck to gr ound and collect
the prizes offered by the Forestry Club.
As in previous years, the r ules for entr y wer e simple and
br ief. Entr ies in the event were made in advance of the opening
of the deer season by purchasing a Buck Shoot ticket from any
of the Forester Club members. This year the ticket also entitled
the hunter to a chance on a fine 30-30 Winch es ter rifle, which
was raffled off at th e close of the Buckshoot.
Top honors this fa ll went to Larry Watson, a sePior Forester.
H e brought down a big 210 pound buck flnd was awarded th e
$10.00 firs t prize. The seccnd prize of $Q .OO was won by Eugene
Shelden, a Sophomore Civil Engineer, for bringing in th e smallest
buck. A local r esident of H a ncoc k, Mr. C. J. Bingham , entered
the first bear in the contest and won the $5.00 prize money in
that division. Eugene Knaebel, a senior Civil Engin eer and a
well known Tech skier, was th e lucky fellow who h eld th e
winning ticket to the 30-30 Winchester rifle. Th e awarding of
these prizes th e 1950 Buck S hoo t was brought to a s ucc essful
close.

CAMP PORI
by Bill Smith
In th e Otta wa Nation al F orest is a place that is deal' to th e
heart of e very Tech F orester . This "F or ester 's H eave n" is Camp
P ori, affectiona tely r eferred to as "Pori".
Th e for esters leave civiliza tion behind th em to learn timbe r
cruising, type mapping, log scaling, and how to ge t alon g with out
the luxuries of civilized people.
Even though th e days are spe nt hard a t work in th e woods,
enough en ergy is us ually left over for a softball gam e afte r
supper. Th ese games are us uall y followed by a dip in Bob Lake .
Th e best part of ca mp is spent in th e chow hall, wh e re
heaping quantities of good, plain fo od are devoured at every
meal. Th e cook comm ented once that mor e fo od was eate n at
Pori pel' person than was ever eaten in a lumber camp.
Wildlife is found all over th e camp. D eer are seen every
night and occasionally a bear. Every fore ster, who was at camp
in the s umm er of 1950, knows about Mr. Hesterberg's harm less
bear that chases men out of th e woods.
Th e sincere regr et of 1110st for esters is that th ey can't sp end
more than one summ er a t Pori.
