POWER MACHINERY TO AID LUMBERING 



Lumbermen state that shortage of labor is rapidly becoming the paramount issue of 

 the day, and that this condition is not bettering itself, but on the contrary is becoming 

 worse as the drain on our man power continues. It is, therefore, they say, quite 

 essential that men be compelled to perform more work and it is exceedingly difficult 

 to force labor in these strenuous times as the laborer is not always imbued with the 

 patriotic spirit when it comes to physical exertion. Labor saving devices are necessary 

 and among these the introduction of the semi-trailer into motor transportation systems, 

 gives lumbermen a device that not only trebles the efficiency of the man power required 

 to operate it, but decreases the cost per ton mile of the material hauled. The labor cost 

 is practically the same, whether operating a i-ton truck or a 15-ton tractor-trailer unit, 

 but the efficiency of the operator is increased 15 times. 



With a 3^2-ton motor truck of standard make, 30,000 pounds of telephone poles, 

 all of them being approximately 40 feet in length, may be hauled continuously over 

 territory extending 50 miles from its main plant. This type of semi-trailer has proven 

 a great labor saver in logging and lumber industries. 



NEW BOOKLET ON WOOD AVAILABLE 



The National Lumber Manufacturers' Association, with headquarters in Chicago, 

 has compiled a handy reference of "Information on Wood and Where to Find it." 

 This booklet is a directory of literature which may be had for the asking from the 

 National Lumber Manufacturers' Association, California Redwood Association, North 

 Carolina Pine Association, Northern Hemlock and Hardwood Manufacturers' Associa- 

 tion, White Pine Bureau of St. Paul, Minnesota, Southern Cypress Manufacturers' 

 Association, Southern Pine Association, West Coast Lumbermen's Association, Western 

 Pine Manufacturers' Association and other sources, and is absolutely free. 



Some of the subjects covered include: Barns, bee hives, bird houses, boats, bridges, 

 bungalows, cars, canoes, cattle sheds, chicken houses, corn cribs, dairies, docks, factories, 

 farm buildings, fences, freight cars, furniture, garages, incubators, kitchen cabinets, 

 schools, silos, toys and warehouses. 



This information is of value to the farmer as well as the city man. It has been 

 compiled by experts and points the way to reliable lumber data. 



MUCH APPRECIATED COMMENT FROM OUR MEMBERS 



"I consider the magazine one of the 

 finest that comes into my house and my 

 family and myself 11 enjoy it. I do not 

 want to miss an issue!" 



William, F. McFarland. 



"I hope soon to renew and strengthen 

 my acquaintance with American Forestry, 

 the idol of every true forest-loving person. 



EUS SODERHOLM. 



"I am a member of the American For- 

 estry Association and consider the maga- 

 zine which you publish every month one 

 of the most valuable which I receive." 

 G. H. Hollister. 



"The two magazines you sent me are 

 both to hand. I admire your American 

 work more and more, and the last Ameri- 

 can Forestry is the finest piece of work 

 I have ever seen. Your pictures are love- 

 ly, and I look and look at them, and ad- 

 mire them more and more they are simply 

 wonderful." 



Capt. S. A. White, 



President, Royal Orinithologists Union, 

 Fulham, South Australia. 



"I congratulate you on the good work 

 you are doing at this critical time. I no- 

 tice a great improvement in the last issue 

 of the magazine over former issues." 

 C. E. Miller. 



"Surely you deserve the enthusiastic con- 

 gratulations of all your friends on the con- 

 tinued excellent progress of American For- 

 estry. While still the leading guide in for- 

 estry matters, as it should be, our maga- 

 zine has developed into one of the most 

 interesting and broad periodicals of the 

 day." 



Henry S. Drinker, 

 President, Lehigh University. 



"Our American Forestry we think is 

 fine a real aristocrat in character and 

 dress, with a wealth of interesting infor- 

 mation well told. The articles on the wild 

 flowers of the forest are particularly pleas- 

 ing and we hope they may be continued. 

 I am grateful for the privilege of being a 

 member of the Association, whose work is 

 the conservation of our trees, our wild 

 flowers, and our feathered allies, the birds." 

 Charlotte A. Monck 



"I think the magazine American Fores- 

 try invaluable and of delightful interest." 

 Julia Lester Dillon. 



"American Forestry arrived this morn- 

 ing, and I wish to compliment you upon 

 its increasing effectiveness. It is a splen- 

 did magazine, well illustrated and keenly 

 alive to the trend of modern development, 

 and I am sure you should be very proud 

 of the record you have made." 



Prof. F. F. Moon. 



"I find a great deal of pleasure and in- 

 struction in American Forestry, and I'm 

 glad to 'do my bit' to help in the work of 

 forest conservation and extension." 



C. L. Harrington, Forester. 



"American Forestry is a great joy to 

 Mrs. Parker and myself and it has done 

 much to stimulate our inborn love of na- 

 ture and educate us to a livelier enjoyment 

 and appreciation of the woods." 



Neilson T. Parker.
