Timber industry
is among top
BERKELEY — Farms in
_Berkeley? Most everyone has
heard this waggish comment.
But--lumber in Los Angeles?
Yes. The timber industry in
‘California is big business, not
only in forested areas, but
across the state as a whole,
And Los Angeles county is second only to Humboldt in timber
industry employment.
California itself is not often
regarded as a big lumber state,
says William A, Dost, Agricultural Extension forest products
specialist of the University of
California. But California does
supply one sixth of the nation's
lumber, and it ranks among the
top three states in timber cutting, Only Oregon and Washington are ahead, and the latter
only recently surpassed the Golden State in timber harvest.
Although the forecast for lumber and timber industry activities in the coming decade indicates some decline on overall
volume, the industry will continue to be a vital factor in the
state's economy.
Dost quoted these and other
others. Northern California is
the prime center of lumbering
itself, In many northern counties, the timber industry is the
economic base. Surprisingly,
Los Angeles county is one of the
major wood processing areas of
the country, although the manufacturers start with lumber and
plywood, rather than logs.
Northern inland counties, the
report shows, can expect timber harvest to be stable in the
future, barring major withdrawals of land into single-use allocations. _In contrast, north
coast timber counties can expect
a drop of 15 per cent or more
in lumber cut in the years just.
ahead.
_Although forest experts have
been predicting a drop in timber cut for several years, much
of this transition .already has .
occurred.
Projections of population indicate growth and continuing migration to the cities, To the
wood products industry, this
indicates a demand for new
homes and the availability of
money with which to buy them.
"Competition for markets in
the housing industry is inereasing," Dost reported. "The desire for a low, sleek look in
houses, and for economy gave
rise to the slab floor, just as
the desire for mobility fostered
the mobile home, and increasing land costs, and other costs
fostered the multiple-family
dwelling."
These combined forces have
resulted in a decline in wood
consumption per housing unit
from 10,000 board feet in 1952
to 8,700 board feet in 1962,
“Because of the pressure of
markets, problems in contin-.

Native Sons
hear history
The history of Native Sons
of the Golden. West in Nevada
City was outlined to members of
Hydro Parlor No. 96 last week.
Joe E, Regallo, grand trustee
from Los Banos, noted that the
Nevada City lodge was founded
on Feb, 27, 1885, by J. A,
Steinbach of Nevada City. There
were 45 charter members, and
Leroy B, Johnson was president.
The reason the lodge was
formed here and elsewhere
throughout California was to
preserve historical landmarks
and compile historical data,
Regallo said,
The Bear Flag, symbol of the
short-lived Bear Flag Revolu~~
tion which led to California's
break from Mexico and eventual
statehood, has been the flag of
Native Sons since the group's
inception. However, it was not
adopted as the California flag
until 1911, Regallo recalled,
About 250 plants operated by
66 companies can fruits and vegetables in California,
