, Alaska To Meld Wood For Planes
JUNEAU, June — The extensive spruce forests of
southern Alaska will soon be making an important
contribution *o the Nation’s war effort, according to
Assistant Regional Forester Wellman Holbrook of the
Forest Service. The Secretary of Agriculture, June 5,
approved an agreement between the Commodity Cred
it Corporation and the Forest Service under which the
service, acting as a corporation agent, will conduct a
I large enterprise for the production of spruce logs
suitable for airplane lumber from selected areas in
the southwestern part of the Tongass National For
est, Southeastern Alaska. Only the larger and higher
quality trees are to be cut. This new source of ioe
supply from the northern end of the Pacific coast
spruce belt is expected to aid substantially in meeting
the increased demand for spruce of airplane grade.
Revolving Fund Available
The Commodity Credit Corporation has made avail
able to the Forest Service a revolving fund of $2,500,
000 to cover field operations of the enterprise. The
Corporation will also meet the extra administrative
costs to the Service which will be involved.
Regional Forester B. Frank Heintzelman of the Al
aska Region, assisted by Mr. Holbrook, will have gen
era] responsibility for the project. Directly in charge
will be Charles G. Burdick, Assistant Regional For
ester, and J. M. Wvckoff. Forest Inspector, both long
time members of the Alaska Region personnel and well
acquainted with the local logging methods and prob
lems.'
Will Buy Stum page
The Commodity Credit Corporation will buy stump
age from the Forest Service after which the Regional
officers will contract the logging to numerous inde
pendent logging concerns, contract the assembly of
the logs into Davis rafts of around two million feet
each, arrange for towing these rafts to Puget Sound,
and offers the logs for sale to these mills on the Sound
which specialize in cutting of spruce airplane stock.
Some of the lags will be sawn by the Alaska mills but
since few local sawmills are capable of handling the
larger logs and because insufficient cargo vessels are
available to handle shipments, rafting the great bulk
of the logs to Seattle becomes a necessity.
Production Goal Set Up
The Region 10 officers have set as a production goal,
- 100,000,000 feet of high-grade logs per year for the
duration of the war.
Mr. Heintzleman and Mr. Burdick are now in the
States for the purpose of perfecting the organization
tf this large program. Forest Service timber cruise
parties have been in the field for some months gath
ering the necessary data in anticipation of this pro
gram. Forest Service engineer crews have also i.,e< n
obtaining field information for the necessary log: m
roads which must be constructed.
