THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 1951 'FOREST EROSION | NOW ELIMINATED, TIMBER LOGGING Pulptimber Jog in Southeast Alaska will he mountain- sides or cri problems, according to the A a Forest Re- search Center. Studies show that forests eventually (o pulpwood are not stand of merchantable t gers of “scrub” timbs volume of wood pe for economic loggin are inter- laced throughout the forest. Conse- quently, the cutover areas Wwill seldom be larger than 40 acres and even these will have intervening uncut patches. The ground of the cutting areas everywhere will be covered with decayed fallen trees, shrubbery and the limbs and tops| of the trees which have been re- moved by the loggers. Numerous old trees will be left standing be- cause they are too defective to use. Unlike the usuel practice in many western states, the cutover areas in Alaska are not to be burned over after logging. In fact, so much vegetation will be left on the ground that many s may not appear, from a di " have been cut over at all. Where there are (-{ continuously merchantable timber to be cut, the Forest Service will require “staggered settings” for logging. This means that about 80-acre put patches would be al- C’é'/l/fffl/l/ 4[ PANCAKES; o rr s S RO TR T PSP CHIROPRACTIC HEATH CLINIC } General Practice Hearing Aids & Accessories DR. G. M.

All of these things help prevent So| | far, every area in Southeast Alaskal that has been logged has reclothed itself in vegetation within twe or three years, and developed a dense stand of fast-growing young trees through natural resecc’ing within 10 years. If for any reason any areas log- ged for pulptimber are not refor-| ngs grown in tree nurseries. A nd to meet the cost of such em- ergeney forestry work is accumula- ted by setting aside a portion of the money received by the govern- ment from the sale of the timber remcved. made of the rate of | gm\\ th of the young timber which bhas developed on the logged lands | show such growth to be twice as | fast per acre per year as it was in the old timber removed. Two years ago the Alaska Forest Research Center of the Forest Ser- vice started investigations on stream behavior and effects of | logging on watersheds. The pri-| mary purpose is to provide a set) of guides for proposed logging op- | erations that will prevent siltation or other harm to salmon spawning | streams in different kinds of sit- uations. The project will also include a study of logging practices to be avoided to prevent physical injury to salmon streams. Erosion does not appear to be a serious problem since the heavy cover of vegetation with its interlacing roots effective- ly protects the watershed. Logging near or adjacent to 30 salmon streams that were recently examined by the Research Center has resulted in cutting an average of only 13 percent of the water- shed. All those streams that sup- ported salmon spawning before logging were still being used for spawning the same as adjacent un- logged streamss BETA SIGMA PHI Spring Formal, March 10 at the Baranof Gold Room. 738-3t Foot Correction 3 PHONE Red 372 Glacier Cons!ruchon Co.
