Review EilIPJRE Press Democrat, Sonta Rosa, California, Sunday, Jan. 9, 1733 in. i- Forestry Tree Farms Expanded During Bad Fire Year m6 -1 ures, however, are expected to approach the usual five billion board feet for the year, about half from the pine region and half from the redwood region. MR. HODGES conducts inspec "Keep California Green program of forest fire prevention in 1954, hiring a full-time secretary-man ager, Wayne Hubbard, in th spring.

Keep California Green hat already organized local commit tees in seven pine region counties to step up the educational program. IN THE redwood region, a busy year was climaxed by the establishment of the first community forest at Areata, Humboldt County. The forest, a 600-acr tract, had been proposed by th Areata Circle of the Redwood Region Conservation Council. The forest will be used as a workshop for forestry and lumbering students and as a watershed and recreational project. Drivers along the state's highways during the year saw an increasing number of signs asking their co-operation to "Keep th Redwood Region Green." "Keep California Green" and "Keep California Green and Golden" the result of combined efforts by th Redwood Conservation Council, th pine industry and its supporters, and the State Division of Forestry to stamp out man-caused forest fires.

In recognition of the increasing importance of forestry to California, American Forest Products Industries, the national sponsor of "Keep Green" and the tree farms, established a district office in Sao Francisco in August. en TSpccUI to The Presi Democrat) SAN FRANCISCO During 1954. 20 new tree farms were, added to the list of privately owned California timberlands dedicated to the growing and harvesting of perpetual-yield forest crops. Nine of these were in the Redwood Empire and 11 in the state's pine region. This brings to 178 the number of tree farms in the state.

A total of 1,807,541 acres is involved. The figures were announced last week by American Forest Products Industries, Washington, D.C., national co-ordinator of tree farm 'programs now operating in 36 states. Nationally, more than 6,000 tree farmers now manage more than 33.000,000 acres of wood under this industry-sponsored forest management program. IN CALIFORNIA, the program Is aciministered by the. California Redwood Association and the Western Pine Association.

California tree farms range in size from a five-acre woodlot owned by F. E. Washburn, Magalia, to the forest owned by Diamond Match Chico. "Tree farms have helped make California the second biggest lum ber producer in the nation, James C. McClellan, AFPI's chief forester, said last week.

"Despite heavy production, these lands, under the tree farm program, are being put Into better condition, from a management standpoint, than before being enrolled in the program." FORESTERS noted "substantially increased" interest in tree farming in 1954. "More and more of the privately owned forest properties in California are being devoted to continuous production of forest crops under the supervision of technically trained foresters employed by the. owners," William Schofield, secretary of the California Forest Protective Association, told a meeting of the Willits Redwood Circle at Willits last month. Ralph Hodges, western pine forest engineer, has observed that "owners are becoming more scientific in their forest management." "This is evident," he said, "in increased income from timber sales. Farmers are becoming market-wise.

They are becoming tim- ber experts." The market for tree farmers suffered somewhat during 1954 because of strikes.

The pine region reactivated its THE WEATIIERMASTER worst problems of modern-day i shipping and transportation. i The experiment involved the use of a device known as the Weathermaster.

The principle of its operation is as simple as its purpose: to disperse fog. The Weathermaster consists of a. propeller driven by a motor and mounted on a high shaft. At the lower end of the shaft is a conical deflector for the diffusion of clear air blasts over the surrounding area. This has the effect of the clear air displacing the fog on the ground.

THESE AUTOMATIC devices, a number of which were recently installed on the turnpike 1,200 feet apart, cost $5,000 each. The cone is 30 feet above the ground; the 9 -foot propeller throws the clear air over a radius of 600 feet. Naturally, like any new in "3 11 v. I 4 vention, there are still bugs to be ironed out and obstacles to be overcome. For example, it has been determined that th Weathermaster- in its present form operates much better in ground fog than it does 1 in sea fog.

Recently the turnpike had two Weathermasters operating few miles from each othen One was more successful than the other because the ground fog, which rarely piles more than 12 feet high, was easily dispersed. There was more trouble with the set fog, -which was about 50 feet thick. ACCORDING TO the Turnpike Authority, the problem nowr being worked on is a twofold one: to find a way of getting clear air to disperse fog thicker than the average 12-to-15-foot ground fog, and to time the ma chines to operate at a speed fast enough to disperse any fog, no matter how quickly or how thickly it gathers. One of the features of the de vice is that it operates auto matically. An electric eye starts the machines when the fog accumulates.

These anti-fog units were originally designed for frost-protection purposes in southern California orange groves. It is only recently that the experts of the turnpike, working in collaboration with Stanford University, discovered that tho "clear air displacement" principle can be applied to fog as tho warm air principle is applied to frost.

Catholic Chinese mission in the tions of forest properties in the pine region to determine whether an owner is eligible to become a tree farmer and whether his practices after certification merit continued membership in the program. Prof. Emanuel Fritz, of the California Redwood Association, does the same job for the-redwood region. On the annual reinspection. of pine region tree farms, just completed, three properties were dropped because of change of own- ership or failure to maintain standards.

Mr. Hodges reports a survey undertaken by him during the year shows that fully a third of the pine region's production from lands is cut under an intensive management plan, with every tree selected and marked by a forester. These owners, he said, are operating "far ahead of the requirements as set forth by the State Forest Practice Act." INSECTS AND fire continued to plague the forester during 1951. Although final figures have not been tabulated, an increase of 24 per cent over 1953 in the number of man-caused fires and 11 per cent (Special to The Press Democrat) NEWARK, N.J. Since man acquired the power of reason, he has been battling the elements.

In his own limited way, he has been able to adjust himself to many. of the forces of Mother Nature that control his life. It is inaccurate to say that' he has "conquered" the air because he has invented a flying machine; "conquered" the earth because he digs tunnels under rivers and mountains; or "concurred" the oceans because travelling by boat is a common, everyday occurrence. Planes still crash, men are buried by tons of earth, and ships sink. All man has learned to do is increase his chance of survival against the elements which harass him and hinder his progress.

One of these elements is fog. Like fire, flood and hurricanes, fog slows and halts transportation, causes accidents, and generally disrupts the ebb and flow of modern living. OUT ON THE 118-mile New Jersey turnpike the 60-mile speed limit for which this modern superhighway is famous often is reduced to 35-mile limit because of the fog that sweeps in from Long Island sound over the -low-lying Jersey meadows. Sometimes the fog is so thick that' the road is all but useless. A few days ago, the Turnpike Authority began an experiment in tog dispersal which, if proved successful over a given period, may eliminate one of the A Universal Greenhouse Soil Mix? DAVIS A universal greenfibuse soil mix that can be sterilized will be previewed at the Northern California Nurserymen's Institute on the University of California campus at Davis Jan.

26. The mix, developed on the university's Los Angeles campus, is a 'mixture of sand and organic matter. But the. main problem has been finding sources of suitable sand throughout the state. Surveys now under way show promise of inexpensive supplies in major nursery and greenhouse areas of California.

The symposium on the soil mix will include discussions on use, nu-i trition and sources of material. The one-day program will also1 include talks on air pollution, water quality and merchandising problems. THE AFTERNOON program for northern California nurserymen and their employes will be devoted to two rotating panels. One win discuss soils, fertilizers, water and air pollution; the other, merchandising and economics of the nursery industry. A tour of the campus will enable northern California nurserymen to see research in plant studies in progress on the campus.

The program is being sponsored by the department of landscape management at Davis and the Agricultural Extension Service, in co-operation with the California Association of Nurserymen.

In the early days, Old St. Mary's was the larges't building in San Francisco. Citizens from all parts of the city told the time of day by the four-faced clock the square tower.

Old St. Mary's was no longer alone in the cha parral but right in the midst of xne rapidly growing city, in JDe cember, 1855, Archbishop Pat rick Riordan complained that the venerable church "can scarcely be approached from any direction without a shudder at the, sinfulness and filth of its surroundings." Six years later he dedicated a new and erander St. Marv's Cathedral, on Van Ness Ave. at Oiarren still the seat ot the archdiocese.
