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-. uity of timber supply, increases in capital requirements, and increase in the complexity of operations, the structure of the Penn Valley heifer wins A Nevada County bred and raised heifer has won honors at the World Dairy Show in Madison, Wisconsin. Singing Brook Mary-Etta, a junior yearling Milking Shorthorn heifer, owned and exhibited by Brad and Jean Ellsworth of BJ Ranch, Penn Valley, won third prize in a class of 23 at the National Milking Shorthorn Show, which was held in connection with the World Dairy Show.

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, IT'S A FACT! ain é, = 2A}.
