"Inside U.S.A.,' John Gmther
giw's space to the lllnlher indus-
try. My name "q)pears in his list
of sources. This is a little c,m-
barrassinf tn me. Actually I've
been able to I'ind nothing ,,xcept
the first parag'ral)i of the see-
tion. "Wm'ds on Wood.' wiieh
justifies the eredit. And it was
my wife who l)roVided Mr. Gun-
thor with this lead:
"hre sat on a terrace n Seattle,
and looked across the dancing
blue saucer of Lake Washington;
on the fa)' slore were banks o
trees, and I l)eg:lu to learll a new
vocabtdary. Halfway down the
slope tim tree li]e stops, and
patches in the forest are bare,
like bald spots, but with a few
trees left standing--'seed blocks,'
as ttmy are called . . ."
I Thereupon Mr. Gunther pro-
eeed,; to get himself lost in busln
slide-reek and down-tintbe for
about 1500 "Words on Wood."
This is too bad. :Fie is such a
genial soul. He writes handsome-
ly.
Mainly Mr'. Gmther g o e S
astray 0:3 his words and facts b5
what he has been led to believe
they imply. Writing about the
Douglas fir region', fro' example,
he extols "selective logging," wl:en
forestry states it won't work in
90 per cent of the Douglas fir
forests--it is .t pine proposition,
whi?e fir demands clear cutting
witt seed blocks. He splits botan-
ical hairs to deny that "timber is
a crop" insisting that "the only
authentie erop from a tree is the
cone" -which is an absurd as it
is to say that only the blossom
mad seed of alfalla are a crop.
No stalks !
Gqnther In Wonderland
Little John has let one bureau-
erat after another take him by
his moist, grubby hand and lead
him through a woodsy wonder-
land, feeding him fairy stories all
the while.
There's the one about the vol-
ume of sawtimber being reduced
"ahnost 40 per cent" since 1908.
John purses his mouth, and goes
"Oo-oo!" over that one without
a suspicion of its nonsense. As
even the whistlepunks know, the
forest statistics of today are yet
conjectm'al---in 1.908 they were
fantasy unalloyed, as the great
gaps between various estimates
of the period demonstrate.
And there's the goblin that
screams about virgin forests hav-
ing been cut 'Tram an anginal
acreage of 820,000,000 to about
100,000,000." Why the nightmare ?
Of course that 100,000,000 acres
will go.right on being reduced, to
make wood products and also to
provide more productive land
"What's growing?" That is the
question, not. "What's virgin?"
Another nonsense horror of
Gnnther's woodsy wonderland is
this "From 1941 to 19,t5 the eoun-
try as a whole ctff. about 16 bil-
lion cubic feet of timber per year,
whereas new growth only amount-
.,ed to 11 billion cubic feet. Anti
"the United States is still consum-
ing, i.e.. destroying, half again
as much as it grows." Bah! Ac-
tually, in terms Of U.S. Forest
Service latest figures, drain was
13.7 billion cubic feet in 194,t while
growth was 13.4 billion cubic
Lake Cushman
The big event of the week at
Cushman was the celebration of
Del Laramie's fiftieth birthday.
The Laramie house, was full of

daughters came to spend a fort-

tend a birthday tancheon given

Mr. Gunther giv(,s full cred-
ence to such deeeptive g•overn-
ment statement as this: "Half
the sawmills, pulp, shingle and
veneer nnd other log-using plants
i)1 Or'chert and \\;¥ashington have
private timber in sight for not
more than five years." That
\\;vorlTly bunk has been nsed over
and over fore more thnn five
yea rs !
Another fairy tale is that in-
dustry has /ouR'ht legislation for
better organization of forestry in
Washington State. Yet another
is from one more deliberate de-
ception by the bnreaucts ......
"Some 80 I)er celt of lhe cutLing
in p?ivate lands is still done with-
out conscious regard to futliPe
crops." Then how did the
South's .%qwtilber inventory in-
crease along with inct'e{isdd cut-
ting from "190 billion board feet
in 9a3 to 3a8 billion in 1944 ?
There is moI'e wonderland bunk
on big ownerships and their prae-
tipes. Tliere is silence on the
wretched record of the govern-
ment's forests m the war. Gunth-
oF, sas, "What ` be.. government
cus. it cuts selectivbls," which is
sim'pTy, not. so.
