Under sponsorship of the Wash- Ington State Forestry Conference, a More Trees for Washington pro- gram is being launched this month, to continue indefinitely. Th primary objective of the project, according to Knut Lun- num, Extension Forester, who is also director of the cooperative program, is to increase woodland production, resulting in greater profits to woods owners and an in- creased flow of raw materials for forest industries. "Timber is one of our top agri- cultural products today," said Lun- num. "Over 700 wood-using plants directly employ more than 70,000 of our citizens. 0he-third of our people directly or indirectly get their living from the forest "But important as our forest pro- duction is now, it is well within the realm of possibility to double it." More Trees for Washington ia distributing thousands of booklets "Cash Crops from Washington Woodlands" throughout the state. Additional copies may he obtained from county agents, soil conserva- tion district supervisors, local for- esters and others. Filmstrips and motion picture shorts are also carrying the message that forest management pays dividends. Co- operating in this project is the American Forest Products Indus- tries of Washington, D. C., a national association of leading lumber, pulp and paper and ply- wood manufacturers.
