This study was initiated and designed, first, to determine the reliability of the stocking survey system, and, second, to construct free hand curves which would give the ratio of percent of stocking to number of trees per acre.
"One of the basic problems of forest management is that of restoring to
productivity denuded areas which cannot be expected to restock through natural means.
The most efficient method of regenerating such lands is that method which
provides adequate restocking in the shortest time with the least expense. Successful
direct...
This study was started in 1947 to investigate the value of various types and quantities of seed source in the establishment of reproduction on cutover land, and to determine the apparent effects of various man-made and natural factors upon the rate of restocking. The man-made and natural factors to be...
To determine if squirrels (Sciurus douglasii var.) cut cones before the seeds are ripe, a series of collection points was established in the Willamette Valley and the Cascade Mountains in the summer of 1954. The areas were inspected at intervals during August, September and October of 1954, and freshly cut...
In recent years much of the logging in the Douglas fir region has been by the staggered setting system. Consequently, the effects of this system upon natural coniferous regeneration have become increasingly important. This study was designed to analyze the effects of setting size and environmental factors upon natural regeneration...
Need for increased outlets for common boards led to a study of lalllinated bevel siding.
Low-grade boards of Douglas fir and ponderosa pine were bonded with exterior glue to veneer covering and resin-fiber overlay to form panels subsequently ripped to width and bevel-sawed into siding,
Grooves in the lumber core,...
Second of a planned series of mill studies to test the adequacy of a log grading system for species associated with ponderosa pine, the study reported was made with the cooperation of Stilwell-Pengilley Lumber Company, under the direction of a committee representing participating agencies, namely:
Bureau of Indian Affairs
Bureau...
The spruce budworm is an important enemy of the Douglas fir-true fir forests in Oregon. It can be successfully controlled by aerial spraying with DDT.
The influence of air temperature on spruce budworm growth, the growth of the host, and interrelationships between insect and host were studied on 15 areas...
