various experiments with sev

used in raising valves. He
suggested a whole-milk feed

Forester Colls For .
"New Look" For Po.
Complete cutting of tree*
on. small tract*, about 2 to
20 city block* 'ln size, on
large forest* might help
solve the problem of forest
regeneration on one hand
and create another problem,
citizen concern. This was re
ported by John h. George,
of the School of Forest Re
sources at Penn State Uni
versity, during a meeting of
the Society of American For
esters in Philadelphia.
George said the “new look”
of small tracts of even-aged
trees would promote efficient
management of desirable
tree species. Such cuttings,
well managed, would also
help to create a favorable
balance of wildlife between
m'ature forests, which sup
port limited species, and
small clearings which sup
port considerable wildlife.
Citizen concem, he indicat
ed. might come from per
sons recalling the uncon
trolled cutting and burning
of Pennsylvania forests from
1850 to 1915 Such persons
would fear a lepeat of this
situation

fit rabbits, grouse, squirrels,
pheasants, and deer which
generally are not adapted to
the large expenses of pole
sized forests in many areas
of Pennsylvania.
Wildlife such • tut; rabbits
and grouse built mp very
high number* in ,tfhe bmsh
type forests which followed
clear-cutting around 1900, he
stated. These species are

Deer prospered ln_the clear

timber of today. Peer har
vests increased from 2,000 in
1915 to an average of 100,-
000 today. This harvest
could be maintained- pr even
increased with proper man
agement, including the “new
look” of even-aged timber
management, he claimed.
