THE ANNUAL CRUISE
Ode to the cProf's
Dean Peavy juggles figures in a most financial way,
And it isn't any wonder that his hair is getting gray,
What really keeps the snow away is that flaming red-hot tie,
So here's to the Dean and his warm cravat as the years go rolling by.
On Dendrology and Tree Ident. we hail the name of Starker,
But when the grades come rolling in our day is always darker,
He teaches Silviculture, and we all admit he's good,
But does Pinus Ponderosa make California White Pine wood?
If it's logging roads or bridges Patterson then rules the scene,
But the thing that makes him famous is the lowly Bean Hole Bean,
Topographic maps and logging plans to all his boys are plain.
But the loggers greatest joy is running transit in the rain.
His name is Earl Mason, but he's mostly known as "Mase,"
He teaches Mensuration, and he has a poker face,
Administration and Protection are two little pets of his,
If W, H, and Y were gone he couldn't give a quiz.
Schreiner and Cummings are both Engineering sharks,
Each Saturday they take us on the most delicious larks,
Their ravings on the transit and the compass are a fright,
And we have to shoot Polaris in the middle of the night.

THE ANNUAL CRUISE
The cbuties of a JJistrict FTanger
By HARLAN C. HIATT, Mt. Hood Nati. Forest
For the past few years a certain correspondence school in one of our larger cities
has sought to beguile prospective students

with the following advertisement: "Be a

minimum before the next season arrives.

The first few times I chanced to notice this
Uptopian conception of a Ranger's duties,
I considered it a great joke, but as the fact
slowly dawned on me that this was, in ef-
individual on the protection personnel.
fect, the average citizen's opinion of the
Forest Ranger's job, laughter changed to
alarm. Something really should be done
about such a state of affairs, hence I shall
endeavor to describe, as accurately as possible, just what constitutes the District
Ranger's job.
Unlike Lem Putt, the successful District
Ranger must be a specialist in more than
one line. He must thoroughly understand
fire suppression, fire prevention, road and
trail construction, telephone lines and instruments, cattle and sheep grazing, public
relations, recreational use, log scaling, silviculture, and a large number of other miscellaneous activities.
He must be able to
handle and train men and to take care of
himself and stock under many and varied
conditions. This may sound like a rather
large order, but it really is not as difficult
as it may appear to the uninitiated.
Undoubtedly the ranger's biggest and
most important job is fire suppression which
is followed closely by fire prevention. In
fact a good many of the authorities are
maintaining that prevention should come
first, and it will probably assume that position before many more years.
Immediately after the fall rains put an
end to one fire season, the ranger starts pre-
paring for the next. All tools are checked,
put in shape and stored in the different
caches ready for the next summer's use.
The records of the past fire season are
assembled and put on paper for future
These instructions must be very complete
for the men are so widely scattered that it
is possible for the ranger to visit their sta-
tions but once or twice a month. The
personnel must be selected from the old
men wishing to return and from new applicants. Too much care cannot be shown
in this selection, for the failure of one man
may cause disaster when dealing with fire.
'When the men are selected, they must be
trained in their different lines of work.
Most forests now use the Guard Training
Camp system. All men who require training are gathered at a central point and put
through an intensive training course lasting
from three to
five days.
In this short
period, we attempt to give all new men an
understanding of all the basic principles of
fire finding and fire fighting. Such a school
would be more or less worthless if all train-
ing stopped there. We give each man a
number of manuals to study, and he is
trained in place by the ranger or some competent assistant.
Another very important factor in the fire
suppression forces is the cooperative help
from the local settlers and residents in and
near the forest. It is up to the ranger to
make contact with these people, sell them
fire protection and enlist their aid in fire
suppression. Wherever there is a group
large enough to make it possible, a skeleton
organization is formed and trained, t he
most experienced and competent man as fire
chief and the others in the lines of firefighting for which they are best suited.
Such crews have given excellent cooperation in the past, in many cases discovering
fires and extinguishing them without any

assistance whatever from the regular protection force.
With the men trained and placed, the
cooperative forces lined up, tools in shape
and distributed to the various fire caches,
trails and telephone lines maintained and in
working order, and a great number of other
minor things attended to, the ranger is
ready, or hopes he is, to meet any situation
that might arise during the fire season.
mains on duty twenty-four hours every day
until the fire season is over. The ranger is
required to go to every fire larger than onequarter acre and personally take charge of
the suppression of it. During a bad fire
season this is apt to keep him rather busy.
If all fires which occur are controlled be-
fore they are large enough to attract the
attention of the public, the District Ranger
is considered lucky by the majority oí the
SURVEYING IS ONE OF TIlE DUTIES OF A DISTRIOT RANGER
It is during the fire season itself that the
District Ranger undergoes the acid test
that proves him a success or a failure in his
job. He must have himself and his organ-
ization keyed up to the proper pitch, so
that everyone is continually on his toes,
ready to jump and jump hard on the first
indication of fire. Days, nights and holidays are not recognized. Every man re-
people who know nothing about the months
of preparation and planning that are necessary to get all fires when they are small.
Fire prevention is another activity that
must be worked at the year around, and
one which requires just as much time as fire
suppression, although the results are not so
tangible and the specific duties are much
harder to describe. The ultimate goali of

the saving that would be made, not only in

most important of all, in our timber re-
cessible to the public.
man-caused fires. If every man-caused fire
sources.
A great number of our disastrous mancaused fires are a result of logging operations. The District Ranger must see that
the operations on his district are complying
fully with the state laws and timber sale
contract requirements that pertain to fire
prevention, that all slash hazards are disposed of yearly, and, above all, that the
operators themselves realize the need for
such laws and requirements and carry them
out willingly. The majority of the operators are ready to meet the ranger half way
and some do far more than is required by
law to keep fires out of their operations.
However, there are still too many of the
old school loggers who consider the fire
laws in the same light that so many people
do prohibition. These operators constitute
quite a problem.
Other methods of spreading the gospel
of fire prevention consists of issuing camp
fire permits, contacting the great number of
people who visit the forests each year, fireproofing camp grounds, posting signs, giving talks to schools and public gatherings,
closing some areas of high hazard to smoking and other areas to all public travel, and,
as a last resort, closing the entire forest to
the public.
Realizing that some people cannot learn
without paying for the lesson, the Forest
Service has carried on an intensive program
of law enforcement. Nearly every mancaused fire is the result of some infraction
of the laws and regulations pertaining to
carelessness with fire, and it is the District
Ranger's job to fix the responsibility for
every such fire that occurs on his district,
and to do all in his power to bring the
offender to justice.
I shall not endeavor to list the rest of
the ranger's duties in the order of their im-
The standard set by the District Forester's office
requires that evry point be
within two miles of a trail or road, and in
old burns and other high hazards this distance is cut to one mile. In order to meet
this standard, the District Ranger must
plan his trail and road system, locate them
on the ground, and construct some of them
each year. Roads and trail crews must be
hired, and as these crews are the second line
of defense in fire-fighting they must be
trained just as carefully as the protection
force. These crews must be supplied with
food and tools, moved with the work, and
the work inspected regularly to see that it
is being done in accordance with instructions.
Just as important as new construction is
the maintenance of the improvements previously built. This maintenance is usually
started as early in the spring as weather
will permit, and the small two or three
men crews follow the snow back, cutting
out logs, repairing damaged tread, and putting telephone lines in first class shape. The
District Ranger should check each trail as
he rides over it during the field season and
any special jobs of maintenance n e e d e d
should be marked on the ground and included in the maintenance crew's instructions for the next spring. Other improvements that must be constructed and maintained are telephone lines, lookout houses
and towers, fireman's stations, p as t u r e
fences, shelters at emergency lookout points,
barns, storerooms and residence, as well as
other buildings at the headquarters station.
Practically every ranger district has some
cattle or sheep grazing. The ranger must
supervise this grazing to see that the stock
are handled in such a manner that the range
will not be damaged. Every grazing allotment must have a management plan and be
19
THE ANNUAL CRUISE
used in accordance with such plan. In
order to do this intelligently, the ranger
must have a sufficient knowledge of the
forage requirements of stock and of the

fairly accurate estimate of the carrying Service policy as made by Mr. James Wilanother source of aid in fire suppression and
prevention and may sometimes prove of
great assistance if the ranger maintains
friendly relations with them.
The ranger must know the timber on his
district. He must know what stands are
ripe and ready for harvest, what stands
need thinning and what stands are best to
leave for the future. On large sales that
require constant attention, a man is usually
put in charge, relieving the ranger o responsibility, but on all other sales he must
mark the timber to be cut, supervise the
cutting, scale the logs and supervise the disposal of the slash. In the more settled districts, there is a continual demand for stove
wood, fence posts, telephone poles, etc. As
prompt attention as possible must be given
these demands if we wish to maintain the
good-will and cooperation of the public.
Other miscellaneous duties of a District
Ranger are examination of lands offered for
exchange, survey of areas applied for under
special use, annual reports on the special
uses in effect, annual report on conditions
of fish and game. One of the most importtant duties of all is to obtain an intensive
knowledge of his district. Not only must
the ranger have a good general idea of the
lay of the land, of all water and horsefeed,
etc., but he must never miss an opportunity
to locate section corners, section line crossings of roads and trails, and the boundary
lines of any private lands within the district.
As the public has become acquainted
with Forest Service policies, the District
Ranger has come to be regarded with respect and esteem in his community. He is
often called upon to be the community adviser, arbitrator, and doctor. He m u s t

A forester may not be able to give his
"sick" stand a pink pill or a dose of castor
oil; nevertheless, he should know the symptoms of the various diseases, their forest
wealth-destroying possibilities, and the best
technique of nursing his patient, or he may
find himself to be a producer of bigger and
better tree diseases rather than the obtainer
Not only are the more spectacular virulent diseases becoming important but the
In the days when forests were abundant
and therefore of low value, little attention
was given to any form of forest pathology.
With the increasing value of timber, it has
become more and more important that we
take better care of our resources. Thus,
chestnut blight was allowed to take most
of the American chestnut stands on the
three years. Architects, therefore, in plan-
less noticeable ones, such as wood rots, are
also receiving more and more attention.
The old days in which rotten wood was

generation wherein some of the more im-
portant wood rotting fungi are at least

covery that his floors have lasted a scant
theory that it was cheaper to allow the
disease to eliminate the chestnut than to
fight such a virulent disease. Now, white
pine blister rust is being, and in all probability, will continue to be fought e v e ri
though the cost of so doing is enormous.
Lately, an infection of larch canker in New
England was promptly eliminated in the belief that it was cheaper and better to fight
this disease before it became serious. Today, forest nurserymen have learned of the
devastating effect of damping-off on their
business, and progressive lumbermen realize
the potential damage of some of the more
active tree diseases. Since no intelligent
forester today wiii advocate the growing of
a crop of trees without duly considering
the matter of tree diseases, it is necessary
that the progressive forester be able to
recognize and know the initial or first aid
treatment for the more serious diseases.
fling buildings in which wood is of importance, should appreciate the desirability
of so designing the building that favorable
conditions for the wood rots would not
exist.
Not only do forest pathological requirements influence the conditions under which
wood is used, but also they are of importance to the lumber manufacturer in that
they allow him to maintain sanitary conditions in which to store his lumber at a
minimum cost. Often one of the serious
and unnoticed losses around our sawmills
or pulp plants is due to a failure to plan
the storage facilities with a proper regard
for the normal life habits of common wood
destroying fungi. In addition, it is desirable that lumber grading rules should differentiate material having stains caused by
wood destroying fungi so that such lumber
will not be used under conditions which
will allow the fungus to continue to grow
and thus tend to invalidate the use of wood.
Although many lumbermen may n o t
know the difference betweeen a dead and a

aged with the greatest efficiency. Thus,
holding stumpage or planning a lumbering
operation demands that the manager know
something of the rate at which the stands
are decaying. Likewise, in fire-killed or
windthrown stands, it is very important to
know the rate of deterioration in order to
determine the feasibility of logging such
stands at any given time. To a lesser de-
amount of defect in standing trees; yet,
when a good share of their "cull trees"
were cut, the trees would prove to be sound.
Nevertheless, it is possible for the properly
trained man to select those trees that are
obviously unmerchantable. In a like manner, it is important that the hookers be able
to select the logs that are sound enough to
be worth logging. The common practice of
MILLIONS OF FEET OF TIMBER ARE LOST BECAUSE OF DECAY IN VIRGIN STANDS
gree the storage of logs requires, at times,
a careful consideration of probable losses.
Of more direct bearing on actual logging
practice is the matter of determining the
standing material which can profitably be
felled, and the felled and down material
examining the ends of the logs without re-
gard to the indicators of rot to be found
which can be taken out to the financial
along the sides, is often responsible for the
leaving of merchantable logs in the woods
as well as the skidding of cull logs. Then,
too, there is the matter of selecting sound
spar trees, as a defective tree is apt to
advantage of the operator. Some logging
concerns have paid high salaries to men
who were purported to be able to tell the
break under the strain of logging and as
such breaks are not only expensive b u t
dangerous, it is very important to avoid
THE ANNUAL CRUISE

such a dilemma. In a like manner, the
selection of special order material will require a positive identification of the heart
rots.
In the field of forest mensuration, exact
knowledge of wood decay is extremely desirable. It is hoped that a few more years
will eliminate the sometimes-all-too-common occurence of a scaler culling the en-
terest in forest pathology as forest sanitation will, in part, shape his improvement
work and his cutting practice. Then, too,
in selecting the species of tree to be grown,
it is important to realize that species' susceptibility to disease and the effect of the
disease on the final yield.
Insofar as forest pathology touches all
the important fields of forestry from the
tire log because both ends of the log are
rotten and then being amazed at the "in-
selection of the species to be grown and the
tuition" of the scaler who reduces the gross
scale of the log less than a half and proves
sented in building code specifications, it is
important for every forester to know some-
himself to be correct when the log is cut
in the mill. The accuracy of the scale is
dependent, among other things, upon the
ability of the scaler to determine the in-
thing of the important principles under-
ternal extent of the decay from its external
indicators. Similarly, the accuracy of the
cruise made by a man who insists that rotten trees are indicated by white butterflies,
shaggy bark, or some particular kind of soil
should be doubted. To the scaler and
cruiser, the ability to differentiate between
species of decay and to estimate the internal
placement and size of the decay from its
ex te r n a 1 signs is becoming paramount.
Likewise, in the application of yield or
growth tables to stands, one of the important factors which will be necessary to
consider is the effect of wood rotting fungi
in lessening the yields per acre.
The forester in fire protection w o r k
originally considered rotten wood as an aid
to fire, especially as it is difficult to get the
average fire crew to dig all the rotten ma-
terial out of the fire line and also as the
"punk knots" tend to catch fire and allow
it to start inside a defective tree. However,
today, it is thought by some foresters that
slash disposal may be more efficiently accomplished provided it is allowea to decay
rather than to be burned. Thus, a knowledge of the conditions under which slash
will best decay may be the solution to a
large share of our slash disposal problem
which has caused so much trouble in the
past.
The silviculturist will also find an in-
nursery practice to its final use as repre-
lying the science of tree diseases. Unfortunately, the various tree diseases are complex
in their variety of life conditions and work;
consequently, the forester cannot expect to
be an expert in the field of forest pathology.
However, the progressive forester will find
it very desirable to have a thorough "first
aid" knowledge of the subject which will
allow him to handle properly the various
minor cases and will enable hi,n to cooperate intelligently with the expert forest pathologist in the "chronic" cases.

FReflections of a &ven Year (91d
By W. H. MEYER, Ph.D., Yale '29, Associate Silviculturist
Pacific Northwest Forest Experiment Station
What right has a seven-year-old to indulge is reflections and reminiscences? At
such an age he should be full of enthusiasm, living in the present and looking forward to the time in the future when he will
be a "Big Man." Little does it matter that
by a seven-year-old I mean one who has
passed seven years in the forestry profession. The general principle still holds. Nor
does it matter that I am not a graduate of
the Oregon State College. The completion
of a full forestry course at any recognized
forestry school should entitle one to consider himself a member of the forestry fraternity and to include in his cogitations all
his fellow students regardless of school or
rank.
Seven years out! What a long time to
the youngster! What a short period to the
oldster! Yet in that seven years tremendous
strides have been made in forestry both in
the profession and in the practice. Condi-
tions have changed so materially that the
future of the embryo has been altered vitally.
Seven years ago we all felt that the
prospects of the student to find an enjoyable
work were as bright as they ever had been.
We thought we were being taught well,
and we had the administrative phases of the
Forest Service or the less clear-cut activities
of private practice to look forward to, to
say nothing of allied lines in lumbering and
wood utilization. We little anticipated,
however, the remarkable changes which
were to follow within the next few years
which, had we known them, could have
influenced our training radically.
One of the first developments of this
seven-year period was the expansion of the
experiment station activities within t h e
Forest Service. The inception of the South-
ern Station at New Orleans, Louisiana,
the Northeastern Station at A m h e r s t,
Massachusetts, the California Station at
Berkeley, California, the Pacific Northwest
Station at Portland, Oregon, the Appalach-
ian Station at Asheville, North Carolina,
and later the Allegheny Station at Philadelphia, and the Central States Station at
Columbus, Ohio, created a demand for a
type of men which the old forestry training
incompletely turned out, a demand which
will continue as long as the stations exist.
The general practitioner type of forester is
not in great emand in experimental work,
but a certain degree of specialization is required. It is not so much a question of any
definite sort of specialization, since there is
n e e d for almost any of the biological
sciences and a few of the other natural
sciences.
Whether the demand for specialized
foresters forced the change in the curricula
of some of the larger and well-known forest
schools, or whether the change came of its
own accord is a debatable point. Nevertheless the fact remains that the schools have
changed. Especially does this hold for graduate courses and graduate schools. There is
a tendency to get away from the definitely
established routine and to follow 1 i n e s
which will point to some future specializa-

others, although it was nominally a gradu-
ate school and conducted only forestry
courses. It was in effect, however, onl an
exalted undergraduate institution. The students behaved like undergraduates and were
taught like undergraduates. During the
past seven years it has expanded its courses;
it gives the student more initiative, provides individual training, is liberal in its
scholarships, and all in all has changed tremendously in its attitude regarding its function. Even the character of the student
body has been correspondingly modified and
has been imbued with much of the true
graduate school spirit. There are a number
THE ANNUAL CRUISE
of other schools in just this same transformation period, if one can conclude truly
from hearsay.
Another development of the past seven
years was the supersedence of the ClarkeMcNary Act over the Weeks Law in 1924.
Under the old law much active, good constructive work was being done, but it was
confined to a relatively few states. Under
t h e new act, the activities were to be
similar way, even though to a lesser degree.
The passage of the McSweeney-McNary
Bill in 1928 provided a still further expansion in national forestry research activities.
The McNary-Woodruff Act supplied the
appropriations whereby the clauses of the
bill could be carried out. The National
Forest Survey, which is at present being
put into being with its initial basis of operations in the Pacific Northwest, is only one

greatly expanded, and the number of cooperating states was to be more than trebled.
This act insured a certain measure of correlation betweeen national and state activities in forestry, especially in protection and
in planting. It was responsible for the taxation studies which are now gradually progressing from one forest region to the other.
The new act, however, cannot be held responsible for all the great advances which
have been made in state forestry. New
York State, for instance, created its own
impetus as is evidenced in the expansion of
nursery and planting activities. Seven years
ago approximately four million seedlings
were raised in the New York State nurseries. Now this amount has increased to the
staggering sum of almost twenty-five million. In addition an active movement is
of the many provisions. Better support for
the experiment stations and added appropriations for forest pathology, forest entomology, biological surveys, and for the
cooperation of the Weather Bureau with
the Forest Service were other items.
The creation of District 9 in the Lake
States with headquarters at Milwaukee,
Wisconsin is bound to stimulate further
interest in forestry in this region, chiefly
through its acquisition program if nothing
else. The much lamented Lake States, the
object of so many a moralistic forest tale,
is at last coming into its own.
The State of Oregon with its taxation
law passed a momentous act in forest legis-
lation. The principle of the law may have
been an old one, a theory about which we
t a k i n g place to establish a permanent
have heard many a time, but which has
budget of enormous sums. Other states too
numerous to mention have advanced in a
seldom been put into practice. The future
years will tell whether the experiment is a
THE ANNUAL CRUISE
success. The combined constant small acre-
age tax with a substantial yield tax is one
which was told about even in the dark ages
of seven years ago, but legislative approval
was deferred for a long time. Undoubtedly
the law will be duplicated in many other
states which are laboring under similar difficulties.
The above are only a few of the outstanding events of the last seven years. We
could continue page after page to enumerate other events, such as the forest education inquiry, the definition of forest policies
by several trade associations, and the chang-
ing attitude of the people from a passive
admission of the worthiness of the forestry
cause to an active support through laws and
appropriations.
Like all tales even this one has a moral.
It is one of the many philosophical precepts
that true reflection leads to a proper evaluation of future prospects. The events of the
last seven years must undoubtedly force one
to believe that forestry in the United States
has just passed through its most momentous
era. The Paleozoic age of forestry is far
behind; so are the Mesozoic and the earlier
25
stages of the Cenozoic, which all goes to
say that finally forestry is living in the
present. Remarkable history is not a transient thing, however. It precipitates events
oi its own making. Reminiscing if carried
too far is, like the fear of cold weather, a
sign of approaching old age. Far from that
is the present situation. All prospects point
toward an active period of construction and
action, toward the placing of the science of
forestry on a substantial basis, and toward
the consumption of all obtainable vital
energy in the new endeavors.
Don't you see now how much more
fortunately situated the students of the
present day are? Your aims are now defined in gratifying variety. There is a
phase to appeal to any taste, if you only
get out after it. The reflections of a sevenyear-old may not be in vain if the predictions for a successful future are true. Old
enough to have a stability of conception,
young enough to have enthusiasm, wise
enough to recognize a situation, and foolish
enough to offer advice is the seven-year-old.

&edling 3Vlortality and the FRestocking of
cliouglas 'Yir £'ogged-offand
By LEO A. ISAAC, Asst. Silviculturist Pacific Northwest Forest Experiment Station
The loss of Douglas fir seedlings that
occurs in the process of natural restocking
of cut-over lands is an item to be reckoned
with in efforts at reforestation. It has a
definite bearing on the amount of seed and
the time required to restock each individual
area. Seed may come from the retreating
edges of green timber, single trees and solid
blocks of timber left uncut, or trees bearing
cones within a season prior to cutting, if
the slash on the latter area is left unburned.
Trees from any of the above sources may
adequately seed an area in a single year,
provided there was a good cone crop and
little seedling loss. And here lies the reason for many barren areas. Good seed crops
occur usually at intervals of three to five
years or more, and when a good stand of
reproduction does follow, a large part of
germination. A measure of what this early
loss amounts to may be obtained from the
mortality records of a group of sample
plots in upper Wind River Valley, Washington, where seedlings were staked and
numbered as they germinated and were
observed daily during the summer season.
The area lies at an elevation of 1500 feet
and has a shot loam soil; for the purpose of
comparison it may be considered typical of
much of our cut-over land. Part of the
sample plots were on ground logged and
burned in 1925 and part on ground logged
and burned in 1920. Both areas had developed a moderately heavy vegetation cover, the chief difference being a slightly
heavier brush cover on the older cutting.

from vegetation that follows logging, is
a vital factor favoring seedling survival.
However, the development of shade from
the living vegetation may be considered
beneficial only to a certain point; it may
easily become too dense and thus rob the
seedlings. The higher per cent of seedling
loss from drouth shown under medium and
dense shade does not mean that seedlings in
the shade are more susceptible to drouth
injury, but such figures come about because
the drouth period occurs late in the season
when most of the seedlings growing in the
open have been killed off by heat injury.
Minor seedling losses listed under "oth-
seedling of light, soil moisture, and growing space. The survival of 8 and 7 per cent,
respectively, of the 1928 and 1929 seedlings in the open as compared with a sur-
viva1 of 70 per cent for both years in the
dense shade is a striking difference.
Practically no heat injury occurs in the
shade, and since heat injury is shown to be
the greatest single cause of loss (53 per
cent in 1928 and 62 per cent in 1929), this
accounts for the high survival in dense
shade. The heat injury mentioned consists
of cooking the cambium of the tender stem
of the seedling at the soil surface. Hot dry
periods occur annually in April, May and
June before vegetative cover has developed
to shelter the seedlings, and in addition
seedlings frequently occur in open spots.
Therefore, the loss from heat injury

is
naturally great, and it is made even greater
by the superheating of soil surfaces that
have been blackened by burning. The differences in surface soil temperatures on

cutworm constitute the bulk of this loss and
show up heaviest in the dense shade because
the cutworm is most active there.
The second year loss (9 per cent) of
1928 seedlings was comparatively light, and
the causes listed were drouth, competition,
insect injury, and winter kill. The number of winter killed seedlings was surprisingly small. No heat injury was noted on
these seedlings during their second summer;
however, other investigators have reported
heat injury on two year old seedlings.
Germination on sample plots in the vir-
gin forest started a month later than on

Seedling mortality on Douglas fir cutover land is exceedlingly great because of
unfavorable weather, accidental fires, vegetative competition and natural enemies over
all of which we have little or no control.
But this seedling mortality is made even
greater by creating ground conditions not
favorable for seedling survival. In the improvement of these ground conditions lies
an important opportunity to secure better

?ree surgery
By L. D. YATES, '17
Comes a letter now and then saying:
"\Vrite something for the Annual Cruise,"
so I'm going to take a chance, and at the
same time try and satisfy some of
the
curiosity aroused among the Forestry crew
when they hear the term Tree Surgery.
First of all, be it known that here in the
east there are many people with plenty of
money who own fine old places or are dedeloping new ones, who are anxious to have
their places appear well-kept in every par-
ticular and are willing to pay for it.
Trees are an essential to a fine-looking
estate, and are of first importance in every
landscaping scheme. The day is about past
when their care and preservation is left to
the casual nurseryman or gardner. In these
days of specialization the tree man is coming into his own, with a special knowledge
of tree requirements and of treatment for
many and varied ills.
In the larger companies there are plant
pathologists, dendrologists, entomologists,
botanists, etc., on full time experimental
work within their respective spheres, study-
ing out the various scale, insect and fungus
pests, and the best means for their control
or elimination. They work hand in hand
touch with the tree owner. With his consent, a preliminary inspection is made and
an estimate arrived at as to what should
be done, and the approximate cost of the
work to him. Very little contract work is
done as it is a matter of guess-work based
on experience. Jobs are on a time and material basis.
After an agreement with the owner based
on the preliminary survey, which in our
outfit includes, in most cases, a detailed map
showing the location of every tree or group
of trees by number, with a corresponding
number on a metal tag nailed to the tree,
the work of pruning is started.
Pruning includes the removal of all dead
branches, interfering branches or those that
crowd one another or fut, and thinning out
wherever necessary. The trees are gOne
over as with a fine-tooth comb. Climbers
may not use lineman's spurs, as every mark
means an injury to the tree. Soft soled
shoes are worn and, where necessary, a
throwing line resorted to to place ropes in
position to climb up by. Once in position
in the top of the tree the climber places his
rope in a convenient crotch and swings to
all parts of the tree with ease and safety,
with university, state and national authorities, and their findings add no small amount
to the sum total of knowledge a.long their
pruning as he goes with hand saw, and
lines.
are thorughly waterproofed with a special
preparation, and all large cuts are pointed
up at top and bottom and sterilized with
creosote or bichloride of mercury solution.
The small companies more or less follow the large ones and by their own study
and experience often make valuable findings. They are dependent somewhat for
laboratory work on state or national bureaus but get good results never the less.
The average tree surgeon deals with
questions of nutriment, scale and insect con-
trol, pruning, bracing, cavity work, and
now and then root aeration and draining
or watering.
The first step, of course, is .to get in
long-handled pruning hook and pale saw.
All cuts that will not heal the first year
When the pruning is finished, or as it
progresses and the climber is in proper position, the tree is braced, where necessary,
with cables varying in size according to the
weight to be carried, and weak crotches
secured with bolts. Bracing is dependent
upon the size, condition and exposure of
the tree, and also upon the species and
shape, and in some cases, location.
THE ANNUAL CRUISE
When necessary on account of shrubbery,
buildings, wires or traffic, heavy cuts are
lowered on ropes to prevent damage.
As the pruning of each tree is finished
the climber reports to the foreman the con-
dition of the tree as to scale, insects and
cavities, and a record is made detailing
work still to be done.
In season for cavity work, that is, when
fillings will not be injured by freezing or
by rain, the rotten or infected parts of the
tree are excavated and cavity bracing and
fillings are put in. This calls for much
more expert work than does any other
mechanical phase of tree surgery.
Each rotted or infected place in the tree
is excavated by means of power tools, prin-
cipally electric drills, and by mallet and
gouge or chisel. Care is taken to make the
opening in the tree as narrow as possible,
and to avoid injury to the cambium at the
margin, as upon this depends the healing
over of the filling. As soon as the bark is
cut and the edge of the cambium exposed,
it is painted over with shellac to obviate
drying out and dying. When the cavity has
been completely excavated and all infected
material removed, the edge of the wood at
the opening is cut as regularly and smoothly as possible, and the bark cut away for an
additional eighth of an inch to i n s u r e
against injury and provide a guage for
finishing off the filling, and is again shellaced for an inch over the sap wood and
cambium.
The cavity is then thoroughly sterilized
with creosote or bichloride of mercury, depending upon the species of tree and the
thickness of the walls of the cavity.
After sterilizing the cavity is braced with
bolts in the form of long wood screws or
lag bolts, turned into prepared holes and
broken off beneath the bark.
Next the cavity is waterproofed with a
heavy, adhesive, asphalt paint, such as is
prepared for roofing purposes, and is then
ready to fill.
The filling, usually of concrete, mixed
very dry as for concrete blocks, is put in
31
in sections, divided by single thicknesses of
heavy roofing paper. These sections permit the otherwise stiff filling to bend with
the swaying of the tree, and prevent its
breaking and falling out. After the filling
has been thoroughly tamped in, the surplus
material is scraped off the surface and is
smoothed off flush with the wood at the
margin and slightly concave across the face
to facilitate healing.
Most cavities are the result of neglect
of pruning, though many are caused by
storm tears, bruises and by fires.
Along with pruning, trees suffering for
lack of light or air are taken care of by
judicious cutting of adjoining trees.
Trees that have reached their limit of
food supply, or are hampered by heavy sod,
are fed by punching numerous holes in the
soil, eighteen inches deep at two or three
foot intervals all around the tree with a
bar, and filling these holes with the proper
fertilizer.
Some trees suffer from fillings of earth
over the roots by flood or in grading operations. This condition is remedied in some
cases by the use of compressed air to loosen
the soil, or by sinking drain tile upright in
the earth to the root depth, or in extreme
cases by removal of the fill. Other trees
suffer from too much or too little water,
and these are either drained or watered
more frequently.
Spraying with high pressure power spray-
er is resorted to for control of scale and
insects, at the proper season for each.
Building operations are hard on trees,
as many roots are cut in excavating for
foundations or for pipes or for grading, and
these injuries should be dressed for the
continued well-being of the tree.
Certain species of trees or trees in certain locations appear to have an affinity for
lightning. Such individuals are protected
by a lightning rod in exactly the same manner as a house is protected.
The tree surgeon is becoming more and
more a factor as land becomes more valuable, and as people begin to recognize trees

"Good friend, in the path I've come," he said,
"There followeth after me today
A youth whose feet must pass this way.
This chasm that was as naught to me
To that fair youth may a pitfall be.
He too, must cross in the twilight dim,
Good friend, I am building the bridge for him."

Most of us consider life as a light, intangible thing which
comes and goes as the ages go on. We do not realize the re-
sponsibility and even the love of one to another until that
one has been called by the Great Almighty.
Some of us, have been associated with John Thayer in
many walks of life. We have studied with him, camped with
him, and worked with him. We have realized, in him, a
manone who, although oniy started on the pathway of life,
has shown us that unselfish, clean, worthy spirit which
characterizes those who cause the world to progress. It is
indeed unfortunate that, one who gave so much promise in
the field of forestry should be taken from us so soon.

The term "Forestry-mindedness" is a difficult one to define. It is an intangible feeling on the part of the general public which
can perhaps best be explained by an illustration. In Europe, where forestry is taken
for granted, the public recognizes its value
in relation to its welfare. Denudation of
forest lands without provisions for replace-
ment would be unthought of. In France,
for instance, it is unlawful to cut down a
tree without planting another to take its
place.
Over here in North America, there is an
entirely different feeling. WTith a plentiful
supply of virgin timber the general public
in most localities, unlike Europeans, has
not as yet felt the economic pressure which
must inevitably take place when an acute
shortage of timber occurs.
The problem of the forester is to encourage and carefully to direct p u b 1 i c

As for the consumers, they constitute the
great mass of the public. They formulate
the public opinion which is a powerful contributing factor in the formation of policies
of private industries. On this class, it seems,
should be concentrated the publicity efforts
of the forester. No industry, with a corn-
petive market system can for long withstand an unfavorable public opinion.
Whatever plan of campaign the forester
adopts, he should apply it steadily, not too
sensationally, but in a manner which will
slowly but effectively build up a state of

public to a point where they will be working with him instead of against him.

Among this group is an element emitting
a moan that the timber of the United States
will soon be depleted, and with its depletion will come the downfall of the nation.
But have they considered the facts concerning the situation of forest depletion,
more than to merely correlate the annual
cut of timber and the stand left remaining?
Have they carefully reviewed the circumstances regarding schemes of reforestation
and forest management? Surely they have

Any timberman would admit,
if the
forests forests were only on a basis similar
to mining, and when cut no further growth
would be forthcoming, that the nation was
indeed in a hazardous condition. But seeing
that only laws of economics and growth are
necessary to re-establish timber, the forestry-minded group have started the attack
on the timber depletion situation, with the
result that new timber taxation laws have
been made in many states and the value of
sustained yield has been reviewed to timber owners. The result of such work is the
restocking of many of the cut-over areas
and a starting of a new generation of tree
growth.
'Which of these groups are we to let our
minds follow, the one to pessimism in which
the timber of the nation will soon be a thing

9raduate &udy
Although primarily an undergraduate
school, the School of Forestry at Oregon
State is exceedingly well equipped and conveniently located for graduate study in
technical forestry and logging engineer-
ing. The close proximity of all phases of
the lumbering industry and forestry methods makes an ideal background for research and experimentation.
Graduate study in the school has recently
been given an added impetus by the forma-
tion of the Mary A. McDonald research
fellowship. This fellowship, amounting to
nearly $500 per year, was made possible
through the kindness of Mrs. Mary A. McDonald of San Francisco.
A research fellowship in lumber season-
ing is also available to those carrying on
graduate work in connection with t h e
School of Forestry experimental dry-kiln.
This fellowship amounts to $500 per year.
With the growing number of c o 11 e g e
graduates holding bachelor of science degrees, the competition for appointments in
all fields is becoming more and more pro-
nounced. The student who holds an advanced degree will be more sought after in
the near future, and with this in mind, in-
creasing numbers are turning toward the
attainment of an advanced degree before
attempting to enter their life's work.

The opening of the winter term brought
an influx of married men into the ranks of
the Foresters. Vondis Miller, the boy with

the idea of letting him come back to school

remembered as Jean Frey, the popular
Fernhopperess of a couple of years ago.
Jean got her degree from the School of
Forestry, airight, but it happened to be a
MRS. instead of the customary BS. Jean,
like the Northwest Mounted Police, got

matrimonial intentions two years ago finally took the fatal step, previous to Christmas. George always complained that the
culinary efforts of the local boarding house
cooks were not to his liking, and it is
evident that he postponed his return to
satisfy the graduation requirements of the
institution until he had acquired a private
cook.

There were also many guests present,
among whom were several alumni of the

it their homecoming.

The annual Educational Exposition of
the Oregon State College has developed
into an affair that has attracted state-wide
attention in the last few years. The School
of Forestry has been among those schools
on the campus which has put on a show
that has been very attractive and has drawn
a large crowd. Of the 700 delegates that
visited the campus from the high schools
over the state; it was estimated, by programs which were passed out that approxi-
mately 600 inspected the exhibit of the
School of Forestry. Of this number about
60 signed slips to the effect that they were
interested in Forestry and 50 out of this
number are expected to register in the
School of Forestry with the 1934 class. Besides these delegates, a conservative estimate
of 2000 visitors passed through the building.
The general plan of the Exposition was
that of showing the waste in manufacture
of lumber from the forest, the waste in
logging op e r at i on s due to sawing high
stumps, breaking logs, leaving large tops
and merchantable logs in the woods, and
converting all this from the lumber into the
finished product. Typifying this
is
the
waste of lumber in the making of furniture,
box cars, vehicles, cooperage, and shingles.
The main lobby of the Forestry building
was devoted to an exhibit showing various
In the days of old, Prof. T. J. Starker
organized what was known as the Arboretum fund, with the aim of some day purchasing land to be used by the students of
the School of Forestry as a laboratory for
their technical work. With careful tending, this fund grew until it was sufficient
to purchase the twelve acres that form the
entrance to the Peavy Arboretum. About
the same time the state bought 340 acres
and gave the tract to the school.
Through the generosity of Mary A.
MacDonald of San Francisco, a gift of
$3000 was received. This sum, together
with some $900 now in the Arboretum
fund, will be expended for nearly 200 additional acres.
This all goes to show that if a good thing
is started and pushed, it will grow and de-
velop into something to be proud of. The
dream of a 3,000-acre tract to stretch along
the Soap Creek watershed to be managed
by the school on a sustained yield basis, is
becoming realistic. Let's make it an actual
reality. The Arboretum committee still
functions, and the Arboretum fund will
always welcome donations, no matter how
small, with the geratest enthusiasm. Bill

Lastly, all of these jobs are incorporated
in a work plan that accounts for practically

every effort to carry out this plan to the

They tell of the spring where they started, on a mountain covered with snow,
Of their race through the green timbered canyon to the river and valley bdosv,
They tell of the stately, wary buck that drank from the brink at dawn,
Of the cougar's kill where he ate his fill, and the doe without a fawn.
They sing of the trout and the salmon that lie in the sunlit pools,
Of the forester met at the crossing with his load of grub and tools,

modestly.
Fred Ramsey is thrown for no gain when
he is asked why the tree happens to bear
that name. Milton Buck is spilled for a
slight loss on the same question in the next
play.
Prof. blocks Nick Welter's punt
when Nick answers: "Because it sheds its
bark."
Prof. recovers, and it is now his ball on
his own thirty-four yard line. He opens
the offense by grabbing a piece of 2x2 on
his desk and taking a hasty swat at Bill's
legs which have wandered up to the desk
again. He is thrown for no gain, as the
offending fatted calves are removed with
astounding celerity.
He tries again: "William, nineteen common names for Gymnocladus dioicus."
Bill makes a sensational flying tackle,
but fails to stop the Prof. when the only
name he can remember is Kentucky coffee
tree. Having annihilated the first row, the
Prof. arrives at the secondary d e f e n s e
where he is downed by Kearns, who reels
off a list of common names. Kearns, by the
way, is the class' triple threat man. He
can answer, stall, or pass to Hartman, who
sits next to him. Prof's ball. He made
seven yards on that play, folks. Third and
three. He tries again.
"Dave, what do you know about the
buds of Kentucky coffee tree?" D ave
Whitley makes a desperate tackle, and
again the Prof. is stopped. He punts to
Ivan Nicholas:
"The terminal buds are covered by a
sticky substance, are they not ?" N i c k
fumbles when he says: "Yes," very emphatically. He makes a brilliant recover
when he notices the sardonic smile creeping across the Prof's comely countenance
and adds hastily: "That is, they would be
if there were any," thereby making a thrilling run of thirty yards before he is finally
downed by: "And what kind of leaves has
this tree?" On the same question Sam
Miller is thrown for a loss by remarking
that the leaves are entire, ovoid, and unequally based, thereby displaying his ignorance of the subject in a manner marvelous
to behold. Vondis Miller upholds the class'
reputation when he slips around the Prof's
left end with a perfect answer. This unlooked-for development causes the Prof. to
ask for time out. His defense tightens
when he comes back with one of his "500
hot ones," and Runkel is held for no gain,
whereat his face brightens and is ornamented by a benignant smile which remains
there as he recovers a fumble on the part of
Elmer Miller who attempted a fake reverse
while trying to elucidate the uses of the
wood of Kentucky coffee tree. This hapless
representative of the class got his signals

crossed and gave a lengthy list of the uses
of Douglas fir.
From this point on, the ball is carried
up and down the center of the field, neither
side getting any further breaks. Finally the
Prof. attempts an admirable piece of
strategy when he asks Ivan Nicholas:
"How many representatives of this genus
in Sweden, Nick ?" Nick sets himself for a
flying tackle, but breathes a sigh of relief
as the whistle blows, and the cigarette
fiends make a break for the door, closely
followed by the Prof's announcement for
the next assignment.
Summary of game: Yards gained in
scrimmage: Class - very little. Prof. plenty. Score: 0 - 0. No hits, no runs,
plenty of errors.
Believe It or Not:
After hearing one of Mason's lectures
on developing fire consciousness one concientious fire-fighter broke his leg trying to
step on a cigarette down in a man-hole.
Prof.: "What is the difference between
a Bull Pine and a Steer Pine?
Whitley: "A Steer Pine is a Bull Pine
that has been felled."
He: But my dear young lady, I'm not a physician, I'm a tree surgeon.

"The Annual, Fernhopper's White-ColEar Banquet !" What is it? First of all it
is the Foresters' Homecoming, and incidentally it is our showoff. Here is a chance
for the alumnus to meet members of his
own class which cannot be done everyday
and at the same time to meet the graduates, see for himself what progress the
school is making, and best of all to hear a
talk which has been carefully prepared with
the idea of making clearer the aims and
needs of his chosen profession.
On the face of the case, it would seem
that not one alumnus within five-hundred
miles could afford to miss this fine opportunity to be on the campus again. In the
future we hope this will be the case as at
present our venture is comparatively new,
but nevertheless worthy of "The Old Fernhopper Support." Here's a chance to make
"Alumni" spell "Support" and support to
mean "Progress" for the old school. Think
it over, Grads, and tell the Cruise about it
One can take courses in any branch of the
work and the teachers have all had a wealth
of good, practical experience.
LES LLOYD, '29
At present I am tying lumber at the
Coos Bay Logging Co. It is a very uplifting job for a college graduate. You have
to tie the lumber as it comes from the
matcher and lift it up on a truck. My
original job was to unload the dry kiln
trucks. I think I shall winter over here
and then hit the road for some experience
in other mills. I make a little side money
trapping. I put out six traps one Sunday
and the following Wednesday brought in
a fine mink.
I hope the enclosed money order will be
of aid in repairing the boiler explosion. If
I may be of any further help just let me
know about it.

Our first project was an attempt to buy
Hartman's Ford, put it on the main floor
of the Forestry building and use it as a
goboon, but that failed. We could only
afford to pay a dollar-fifteen, and Hartman
thought his Ford to be worth a dollarforty.
As the year progressed we followed up
every suggestion and collected numerous
plans. We tried to stem the onrushing tide
with various expectoration receptacles, but
oven-baked boiler steel, reinforced concrete,
and nickle-plated oak were shattered after
a day of use. We leave some wonderful
ideas for the committee of next year, in
hopes that many of the straight-shooting,
devastatingly accurate seniors will not be
back.

when the Technical Forester was brought

FORESTS
It is generally conceded that one of the principal reasons for
the unprecedented growth and prosperity of the United States lies
in the fact that we continue to enjoy a vast wealth of natural resources.
In the exploitation of these resources great industries have been
built up and the resulting payrolls and requirements for machinery
supplies and professicnal services have gone far toward populating
our towns and cities and making these complete business and social
unit.
Thee industries and payrolls must be preserved through extension of markets, by promoting the use of wood and finding new
uses for our forst products, no less than by growing new forests.
Every citizen of our Northwest country should be a good friend
of wOod. He should help protect our forests against the natural
enemy, fre, and the products of our forests against enemies which
are just as destructive in their own field.

Oh, for the day when I can be
Away from this noise and strife;
Far off in the land of the tree
Where old mother nature is life.
It won't be long
Before the song
Of babbling brooks enter my life.
Beautiful streams that are to me
Alive, joyful, full of happiness;
Playing and breaking onward to sea,
To continue their usefulness,
To float the ships
On all their trips
To every land or wilderness.
The forest trees so tall and grand
That sway to and fro in the wind
Gives all that heart could e'er demand.
The virgin trees will always send
A message true
To me and you
That they want us to be their friend.
I want to lie among the flowers,
Ferns, and shrubs on the forest floor,
And want to live in shady bowers
There to see life as ne'er before;
See nature's way
Of work and play
And learn the lesson to adore.
It's the little things that bother us
You can sit on a mountain but not on a
tack!
