BIG TIMBER SALE 



The Forest Service of the United States 

 Department of Agriculture announces the 

 sale of 235,000,000 board feet along the up- 

 per Sauk River, Snoqualmie National Forest 

 Washington, to the Sauk River Lumber Co.. 

 N. C. Jamison, president, of Everett, Wash. 

 Areas adjacent to this tract, which are re- 

 served for future sale, contain approximate- 

 ly 1,200,000,000 feet of timber. Under the 

 proposed plan of forest management, the 

 average yearly cut will be limited to 40,- 

 000,000 board feet. Forty years will be re- 

 quired to cut out the existing merchantable 

 timber, by which time the present imma- 

 ture timber will be ready for the ax. By 

 the practice of scientific forestry, logging 

 operations can thus be carried on without 

 end. The forests of the sale area consist chief 

 ly of mature Douglas fir, hemlock, cedar 

 and white fir in mixture. The contract 

 price paid for the timber, which is subject 

 to readjustment at three year intervals, 

 was $2.75 per 1,000 board feet for cedar, 

 $2 for Douglas fir, and 50 cents for white 

 fir and hemlock. 



LOUISIANA'S SUMMER FOREST 

 SCHOOL 

 The second annual summer forestry camp 

 of Louisiana started a six weeks' session 

 June 19. with an enrollment of 56 students. 

 Of these, sixteen were high school students, 

 six high school graduates, twelve university 

 students, eight public school teachers and 

 fifteen division of forestry employes of the 

 Department of Conservation. This school 

 has the distinction of being the only prac- 

 tical summer forest school in the South. 

 The Department of Conservation originated 

 and maintains the summer school annually, 

 cooperating with the Louisiana State Uni- 

 versity for the selection of the proper facul- 

 ty in teaching the various technical subjects 

 that are necessary to forestry education. 



Each Wednesday afternoon lectures are 

 given by prominent State and government 

 officials and business men on various for- 

 estry subjects, lumbering and other indus- 

 tries connected with the forestry movement. 

 One feature of the school is that all the 

 employes of the forestry division of the 

 Conservation Departmejit are required to 

 attend this school and take instruction on 

 such forestry subjects as will lead to the 

 betterment of their work in the various dis- 

 tricts of the State. Forestry, as a rule, is 

 taught und-er roofs, and the department's 

 purpose is to teach the science in the open 

 that the student can pre{)are his work in 

 accordance with the actual conditions that 

 exist in th woods around him. 



Though Louisiana has been forging ahead 

 in forestry work for some years, this type 

 of education has pushed the State to the 

 front as the pioneer in the South, and one 

 of the leaders in the national movement. 



The camp is situated in the; famous re- 

 serve of H. E. Hardtner, Urania, Louisiana, 

 the students living in properly constructed 

 and well-floored tents, a commodious mess 

 hall being situated nearby where the stu- 

 dents are given substantial food needed by 

 those living in the open,- the rations con- 

 sisting of good camp food, and vegetables 

 secured from the farmers of the neighbor- 

 hood. The students are divided into two 

 classes first and second year. In both 

 classes are taught elementary surveying, 

 timber cruising, mensuration, silviculture, 

 and dendrology . It is the desire of the de- 

 partment to acquaint each student with the 

 general elementary knowkdge of what fores- 

 try really means and thus disseminate this 

 knowledge among the neighborhoods and in 

 the schools from which the students come. 

 Members of the faculty who have charge 

 of the maintenance and instruction are : 

 Prof. J. G. Lee, department of forestry, 

 Louisiana Sate University, who is director 

 of the camp ; V. H. Sonderegger, superin- 

 tendent of forestry. Department of Conser- 

 vation, assistant director; H. J. Stahl, farm 

 forester of the Department of Conserva- 

 tion, instructor ; Prof. R. L. Read, formerly 

 of Louisiana State University, instructor.
