Danville, Illinois 61832 Dear Russell: On Friday I had a call from J. A. Marshall relative to a text on forestry. He is recommending a publication on forestry, specifically, to the T. E.A. for adoption, and wanted one that was more up -dated than the one now in use. I advised him of our recent updating and the fact that you had such manu- script. Mr. Marshall would appreciate hearing from you relative to the text name and any other specific information you can relate, such as possible printing date. Even though it is not produced yet he feels he could recommend it on the basis of information you provide. Please write him. With kindest, personal regards. Very truly yours, D. A. Anderson DAA/jp cc: J. A. Marshall THE Air Mail Mr. D. A. Anderson 1202 Foster Avenue College Station, Texas 77840 Dear Mr. Anderson: February 9, 1970 Since Mr. Guin is currently enjoying his winter vacation in Florida I will take the liberty of replying to your letter of February 2. The present anticipated production date for your new book is June 15. We have not yet learned whether the Texas Education Agency intends to hold a new adoption or whether it will once again simply readopt the books currently on contract. Just a week or two ago we filled out the necessary forms for readoption although I must admit it's our preference that they hold a new adoption instead. Although your letter indicated Marshall you did not supply us pass this information along to supply me with his address and that we should write directly to Mr. with his address. If you wish to him, please do so. Otherwise, I will write to him directly. Cordially., Paul A. Sims Editorial and Marketing Manager PRINTERS AND PUBLISHERS, INC. DANVILLE.

Smith WAS: rjw cc: Mr. D. A. Anderson t FORESTS AND FORESTRY by D. A. Anderson and W. A. Smith The forest resources of the United States have played an important role in the development of the Nation. In early America they provided logs for houses and fortifications, fuel for cooking and warming fires, and provided the environment for fish and wildlife for food. Lumber produced in early sawmills was the principal item of commerce to Europe and helped build cities, rising rapidly across the American Continent. Today, the forest resources supply the raw material for the American wood -using industry, adding over $30 billion annually to the Nation's gross national product. Thousands of products are made from wood - -from paper to plastics - -from plywood to fabrics. Over 10,000 different items made from wood or its derivatives supply America's needs. The role of the Nation's forests only begins with wood products. Prop- erly managed, forests serve as America's watersheds, yielding water needs for econo.,:;c and social growth. Forests protect the soil and conserve this vital resource. Forest cover serves as food and habitat for much of America's wildlife animals and fishlife. The Nation's most scenic recreational areas occur in the forested regions. Coupled with the recreational aspects are the forests' aesthetic values, serving as a source of inspiration in an ever increasingly crowded America. This book is intended as a starter for students studying forestry, forest ecology, and the forest environment with special emphasis, but not restricted, -2- to the forests of the South. The table of contents shows the comprehensive coverage of FORESTS AND FORESTRY: I. Introduction to Forestry II. Tree Study III. Land and Timber Measurement IV. The Forest and Its Environment V. Silvicultural Practices VI. Artificial Reforestation VII. The Economics of Forest Management VIII. The Management of Forest Ranges in the South IX. Wood Characteristics, Identification, and Uses X. Harvesting and Manufacturing Forest Products XI. Wood Preservation There are also ten appendices providing useful information under these head- ings: Southern Colleges and Universities Offering Instruction in Forestry, National Forests in the South, United States and State Forestry Agencies in the South, Cooperative Extension Service Foresters in the South, Character- istics of Major Tree Species in the South, State Forests in the South Administered by State Forestry Agencies, Partial List of Manufacturers of Wood Preservatives, Characteristics of Common Range Grasses of the South, Sample Sale Agreement Forms, and Miscellaneous Tables Used in Forestry. This book is also intended to meet the requirements of students who are primarily interested in a related field such as biology, but who desire some knowledge of forestry. It has been prepared by experts in the field of for- estry with special stress upon the environment. Each chapter includes lists -3- of selected references, review questions, and suggested activities. A spe- cial glossary of forestry terms has been carefully assembled for the beginning student. The book is designed to acquaint students with the science and art of forestry and provide them with a greater appreciation of the importance of the Nation's forest environment.

Anderson 1202 Foster Avenue College Station, Texas Dear Andy: Say, I hadn't noticed that "Mayor" after your name until just now. I'll bet that is a real experience, being Mayor. Just recently I was appointed Chairman of the Merit Commission for the County Sheriff's force and we have been busy writing the first set of rules and regulations. The heat hasn't been turned on but I presume that will come later. I have not been to College Station for so long that I have no idea how large the town is, or should I say City? You will have to bring me up to date politically now as well as educationally. I'm glad you liked the Forestry book cover. We were just talking about setting a list price in advance on this 360 page book. We are really going to give it some publicity nationally and so I am glad to see the ground work you are laying by developing lesson plans „Lessence and so forth. If anything develops in connection with those supplementary items that might be marketable along with the book nationally, let me know. We're going to get out a big fold out circular showing all of our 1970 copyright books and send it to the whole Ag crowd. A lot of our sales are developing in the junior colleges and the non -land grant colleges and I'm hopeful that the Forestry book will catch on there. Have you seen our Pulpwood Production book that we brought out last year in coopera- tion with the American Pulpwood Association? Don't forget to pass along any sales ideas that you have. If you have any lists of people or groups or associations that we ought to cover, send those and like- wise for any publications that might review the book. Always glad to hear from you.

I am now in my third term and ran unopposed in the last election. It will be my last term, however, as I plan to step down in 1972 after 14 years of service to my city in one capacity or another. Population is about 27, 000. Because of work schedule, little has been done on supple- mental items for text, other than to discuss with co- author. We do believe they will be well received by urbanites in particular, who reside in a city and own land in rural areas. As to sales ideas and people, groups, or associations to contact, I submit the following for your consideration: Sales Idea Develop mailer or stuffer somewhat in line with attachment. It is merely a suggestion. Bill Smith and I could also send out a limited number with mail requests for forestry information as a supplement to primary distribution. This same stuffer could be sent to others listed below. List of People, Groups or Associations to Cover. 1. Area of Vocational Agriculture. You already have these outlets established. 2. Send mailer or stuffer (above) to all Extension For- esters, the listing of which is shown in attachment. l\ -2- 3. Send mailer or stuffer to the Information and Educa- tion Chief associated with each forestry agency in the South (see attached) . 4. Send the same to librarians of each forestry school, accredited or not; send also to librarians of U. S. Forest Service shown in Appendix III, page 272. 5. Send mailer to editor of CEA (Conservation Educa- tion Association) Newsletter. Address will be rioted in one attachment. 6. Also, send copy to all state foresters (see listing attached) . 7. Also, to Executive Directors of state forestry as- sociations (I shall send this listing soon.) Publications that might Review Book (ask for such). See attached listing for such listing. If I get additional ideas, Russell, I shall pass on to you. Incidentally, several chapters in the text concern the environ- ment. Since environmental matters is currently a national concern, you may wish to include such terminology in the flier. With kindest personal regards, Yours ver truly, D. A.

Forests protect the soil and conserve this vital resource. Forest cover serves as food and habitat- -_ for much of America's wildlife animals and fishlife. The Nation's most scenic recreational areas occur in the forested regions. Coupled with the recreational aspects are the forests' aesthetic values, serving as a source of inspiration in an ever — increasingly— crowded America. FORESTS AND FORESTRY has been written specifically to provide vocational agriculture teachers, students of vocational agriculture, and forest land owners current information on forestry in a simplified manner. The chapter titles show the comprehensive coverage of the book: I. Introduction to Forestry II. Tree Study III Land Timber Measurements IV. The Forest and Its Environment V, Silvicultural Practices VI. Artificial Reforestation tiII. The Economics of Forest Management VIII. Management of Forest Ranges in the South IX. Wood Characteristics, Identification, and Uses X. Harvesting and Manufacturing Forest Products XI. Wood Preservation XII. Fire in the Forests XIII. Protecting Forests from Other Destructive Agents There are also ten appendices which provide extremely useful information under these head— ings: Southern Colleges and Universities Offering Instruction in Forestry; National Forests in the South, 1969 United States and State Forestry Agencies in the South; Cooperative Exten— sion Service Foresters in the South; Characteristics of Major Tree Species of the South; State Forests in the South Administered by State Forestry Agencies, 1969; Partial List of Manufac— turers of Wood Preservatives; Characteristics of Common Range Grasses of the South; Sample Sale Agreement Forms; Miscellaneous Tables Used in Forestry. —over— FORESTS AND FORESTRY Page 2 The "Miscellaneous Tables Used in Forestry" are a valuable addition to the book, and include the following: (1) Length; Unit Conversion Factors, with Approximate Values. (2) Area or Surface; Unit Conversion Factors, with Approximate Values. (3) Approximate Quantities of Forest Products Represented by 1,000 Feet of Timber Board Measure. (4) Number of Trees Per Acre by Various Methods of Spacing. (5) Scribner Decimal C Log Rule. (6) The International Log Rule. (7) Gross Volume of Tree, Scribner Log Rule. (8) Gross Volume of Tree, Doyle Log Rule. There is also a 21 --page glossary which defines the important terms which the student needs to know and to understand. The South's 211 million acres of commercial forest land support nearly 5,000 primary indus— tries and thousands of specialty or secondary manufacturing industries. Of the total forest land in the South, over 90 per cent is in private ownership. Of this area, three — fourths is in the hands of 1.6 million small landowners. The increasing demands being placed on our forests for construction of dams, highways, and roads, and for other land uses, coupled with a growing population and greater need for forest products, make it most important that inten— sive management practices be applied to all forest land. Our standard of living is, to some extent, dependent upon the care given to this land. The South will be called upon to provide an increasing amount of wood to meet the needs of our society. Fortunately, forests are a renewable resource. Unlike oil and other minerals, trees can be grown as a crop. If southern forests are to provide the raw materials needed by modern society for use by industry, and thus help insure steady employment and a good standard of living, these forests must be pro— tected from fire, insects and disease; stands of timber must be managed and harvested effi— ciently; uses must be found for materials now discarded or burned; and idle or unproductive land must be reforested. Th- owner of small forest acreage often does not realize the value of his timber. The small woodland owner can increase his income with little effort by practicing farm forestry and his economic future will be more secure if he applies good forest practices. The demand for wood and wood products continues to grow as new uses are constantly being developed. Further— more, in addition to being a money crop, woodlands are important in soil conservation, water conservation and control, serve as a shelter and a windbreak, and have many other values and uses to the farmer. Whether as an introduction to forestry as a career, or as preparation for the intelligent management of their own woodlands, students in vocational agriculture should study the protection, management, and proper utilization of their timberland. FORESTS AND FORESTRY is the book which gives them the knowledge that they need. Availabli-: from THE INTERSTATE Printers & Publishers, Inc.

Anderson 1202 Foster Avenue College Station, Texas 77840 Dear Andy: September 11, 1970 I have your little green note, dated September 4. That's not very good mail service for it arrived on the 11th and I am answering it immediately. The book lists at 966.95 educational price. Actually, we grant a 101 discount on one copy or 206 on two or more copies. I presume that you know that many of our books carry an educational list price and a trade list price. That trade list price, which in this case is $9.25, takes care of the occasional single copy that goes to industry and provides an opportunity for a bookstore to get sufficient discount to enable them to order, pay the postage, etc., when getting a single copy for a customer. Likewise, it provides an opportunity to set up a long discount for a company that might want to buy large quantities and give them away. As an example, our "Pulpwood Production" book has been purchased in big quantities by lumber companies and then given to schools. You said you are going to be doing some travelling and might spread the gospel on this book. I presume you will be seeing State Forestry people. Bear in mind that the in— terpretation of'educationa? is pretty flexible and I should think the Forestry people would be entitled to the educational price and discounts. In looking through the book I noted that the contents are pretty largely southern slanted and I'm wondering what a fellow from Minnesota who orders this book will say. I thought of it when a fellow from northern Minnesota said, "At last you have a Forestry book — send me 20 copies." At least he will look at the book with this new title where with the old title he would have immediately ruled it out. I suppose a great share of the book is principles that would apply any place in the United States, but on the other hand a map of the Southern States and too many pictures of southern pine trees will discourage a Minnesota fellow. We'll wait and see. I was surprised to see you at Lafayette for the CEA meeting but needless to say, greatly pleased to visit with you. Tell me about your trip and let me know your experiences as you go along.

DANVILLE, ILLINOIS 61832 77840 • TELEPHONE AREA 217 446 -0500 December 1, 1970 Glad to hear from you and I'll try to answer your question. There is an educ tional price of $6.95 on the Forestry book. Anyone identified with education gets a ,. discount from this list price when they order one copy and a 20% dis— count when they order two or more copies. We printed 3317 copies in this edition and I note that counting promotional copies, review copies, and the like, we have sent out about 450 books to date. Texas will get 1200 copies, as I recall, on the first go around. They send these out to schools as what they call "samples" and the schools can return, purchase, or order more. I should think that over the years of the adoption, there ought to be several thousand copies ordered. Those go on a State Contract at a special discount. Now to the trad pric of $9. 2 5• This is to take care of an order through a bookstore wTiich expects to get 40% for handling the book. I should think that we could make a pretty liberal interpretation of the "educational discount," where books are ordered in quantity by an organization perhaps to be given to schools, run seminars, and the like. I am interested to learn what kind of pro— motion you refer to. I'll be heading down your way Sunday to New Orleans, for the American Vocational Association meeting.

More complete details concerning any item may be obtained by writing to the Association office. THE UNION AS AN EMPLOYER The following story was carried in the editorial section of the Richmond News Leader November 3, 1970. We think it merits the attention of our readers, and we include it below as our lead item. We are indebted to Chicago Daily News columnist Mike Royko for passing along a gem of a story that exposes the hypocrisy practiced by a United Auto Workers local in Danville, I Ilinois. The principal in the story is Mrs. Joan Anderegg, who has been the local's office manager for the past five years. She hadn't received a pay increase for two years, and she thought she might improve her working conditions and salary if she joined the Office and Professional Employees Union. When officials of the OPEU notified the UAW local's officials that they were prepared to negotiate a union contract for Mrs. Anderegg, the UAW officials blew up. "The first thing the local president said was that they could get along without me, that they'd put somebody else in the job or do away with my job altogether," Mrs. Anderegg says . But the local's officials had second thoughts, and agreed to negotiate with the OPEU on Mrs. Anderegg's contract. She asked only what she thought was fair -- just what the UAW was asking for its members- a 21- cent -an -hour cost of living escalator, and a $25-a -week salary hike. The UAW balked at offering more than $6 a week. So Mrs. Anderegg, now joined in her campaign by the local's janitor, went on strike, Each morning she and the janitor manned their picket line outside the local's office. That was too much for the local's president. He told Mrs. Anderegg and the janitor that they weren't striking against the local, because they had been fired and didn't work for the local any more. The OPEU then filed an unfair labor practices charge against the local with the National Labor Relations Board. That action persuaded the UAW local to resume contract negotiations. At last word, Mrs. Anderegg and the janitor were still picketing, and the UAW local was still haggling with the OPEU. If any one of the Big Three auto manufacturers had pulled the same stunts on a UAW local that this local pulled on its employees, the air would have been blue with cries of "exploita- tion," "sweat shop," and "selfish employers," But that's a different story, isn't it? -- over -- - 2 - BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR LUMBER FUTURES Trading in lumber futures contracts recently celebrated its first birthday, and industry leaders forecast that it is likely to become a "major" contract in the months ahead. Some 43,925 contracts were traded in the first 12 months, making it third behind Idaho potato and live cattle contracts in their first years. The lumber contracts need two things to really take off. One is for a break to occur in the housing logjam, and the other is to get the con- tracts to conform to the new U.S. Department of Commerce standards and industry grading rules. The latter has apparently been taken care of for the Exchange's lumber committee has announced that, effective January I, 1971, all deliveries made under the contract will be 1 1/2 X 3 1/2 inch white fir.

It combines conventional cylinder board and fourdrinier systems. Known as an ultraformer, the machine will produce 250 tons daily when it is in operation. (B) -3- DDT REPLACEMENTS Chemical alternatives to DDT often require extra precaution, Several deaths, apparently resulting from the misuse of parathion, have been reported by a USDA news release. In contrast to DDT, which is relatively safe to handlers, parathion and a few other organic phosphate insecticides are highly toxic and may cause injury or even death through the skin or through vapor inhalation if label pre- cautions are ignored. FORESTS AND F ORESTRY Fortunately for man, timber is a renewable resource. The cut -out and get -out philosophy of long ago has been replaced by earnest efforts to replenish and perpetuate our timber resource. One of the most important of all the groups which must become alert to the needs and practices of modern forestry are the owners of small forest acreages -- acreages which are small individually, but which aggregate many millions of acres of timberlands. A new book which has been written specifically for the small landowner is Forests and Forestr by David A. Anderson, head of the Information and Edu- cation Department of the Texas Forest Service, and William A. Smith, Extension Forester at Texas A & M University. Published by the Interstate Printers and Publishers, Inc., Danville, III., the book has 357 pages and sells at $9.25 per hardback copy. The publication gives scant credit to state forestry associations, industrial and consulting foresters, forest industry trade associations, and vocational agriculture departments for their forestry efforts -- relegating them, with others, to one 5 line paragraph. It also lists Virginia Pine as a minor species, along with pond pine, spruce pine, and sand pine -- which are; gives no mention to particle board or excelsior as manufactured products; fails to include VPI in a list of accredited forestry schools; and omits the Dabney S. Lancaster Community College at Clifton Forge as a training center for forestry technicians. Nonethe- less, the book is well organized, is amply illustrated, and will serve a useful purpose for those desiring a general text on forestry. BOTTLE BREAKTHROUGH The Vistron Corp., a subsidiary of Standard Oi I Company of Ohio, has announced development of a plastic bottle that could help solve the Nation's solid waste problem. The bottle, made of Barex 210, is as transparent as glass, one -fifth as heavy and burns to a crumbly ash when lighted. The combustible bottle burns at 1000 degrees and its smoke does not change the chemical nature of incinerator smoke, Vistron claims. Vistron says the Food and Drug Adminis- tration has already approved the use of Barex 210 bottles for food and beverage containers. ti - 4 - CONSCRIPTI NG FIRE - FIGHTERS Authority to temporarily conscript men for forest fire fighting in British Columbia was used for the first time near Princeton, B.C. in July when B.. C. Forest Service officials and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police drafted 100 men from bars, beer parlors, and off the streets to fight a critical forest fire. SIERRA CLUB EXPELS CONSERVATIONIST Word comes from Idaho that a Mr. Robert S. Nobis, who is the Executive Secretary of Outdoors Unlimited and also a member of the very Pro - preservationist Sierra Club, is being expelled from the Sierra Club. It seems his "crimes" have been his opposition to a North Cascades National Park and additional scenic and wilderness areas. Nobis is quoted as saying, " I resent additional wilderness areas . . . To lock up some of the finest recreation areas in the Northwest for a limited few does not seem fair to me. Organizations such as the Sierra Club, the Wilderness Society, and others who call themselves conservationists, are not. They are preservationists -- pure, single- minded preservationists. They are wealthy and influential and want to lock you out of the woods . . . Their emotional appeal is based on half- truths and non - facts, and then taken for whole cloth by most of their members. . . . One of our (Outdoors Unlimited) primary functions is to provide a counterforce to the preservationist groups who are trying to keep the average public excluded from its publicly -owned lands." We think this lays it on the line and separates single -use from multiple -use. We at VIRGINIA FORESTS, Inc. agree that parks, recreation areas, and wilderness areas have their proper places, but that single, preservationist uses at the expense of multiple uses is inconsistent with the idea of "sharing a resource," one of the corner stones of this association. (C) PRESCRIBED BURNING MEETI NG A symposium on prescribed burning in forests of the Southeastern coastal plain will be held in Charleston, S.C. April 14 - 16, 1971. Sponsored by the Southeastern Forest Experiment Station, Clemson and Duke Universities, and the Belle W. Baruch Research Institute, the symposium will emphasize the broad environmental aspects of prescribed burning. WONDERS OF WOOD In terms of cost for equivalent performance, reinforced plastic, aluminum and steel sheet materials are from two to 17 times more expensive than wood - based products. Also the insulation value of one -half inch of wood or plywood requires an equivalent of 686 inches of aluminum, 154 inches of steel, 6.9 inches of concrete, and 2.4 inches of brick. (D) Sources: A.
