ACCORDING TO TIM Bigler
from the Texas Forest Service in
Cleveland,-tree improvement is a
major key to the lumber industry’s
future
Although many things con-
cerning tree improvement have
been accomplished, there are still
many questions to be answered and
solutions to be found according to
Bigler
The Texas Forest Service Ge-
netics Laboratory manual states
that the most important and ever-
developing concept of tree improve
ment is the planting of seed or-
chards. Seed orchards provide a
means for producing in quantity the
best genetically improved tree a
vailable as quickly as possible
THE TFS STUDY shows be
cause the need for improved trees is
urgent, seed orchards are usually
established immediately even
though the genetic value of the
selections remains unproved
As a result, many seed or
chards produce undesirable trees
The only safeguard is progeny tests
before the orchards are established.
Bigler says the South has done
the most extensive work with tree
improvement and genetics “You
find the most desirable characters
tics from trees and mate them The
South.has done the most with this
type of thing After you mate the
trees, you take the seeds from that
tree and mate that one with another
tree which has the most desirable
characteristics and so on until you
have a perfect tree ”
BIGLER MENTIONED THAT
techniques to find the most desira?
ble tree characteristics are continu-
ing to be developed over different
generations of seed orchards.
John Wiley from Champion
Int. Corp., says his company is
working with tree genetics “We
take scion material (material off
the tree) and study it to find the best-
characteristics in the tree We re
trying to develop superior quality
trees’’
Blood drive coming
If you are in good health, you
probably cap be a blood donor You

HOLSTON On Tuesday.
Mar. 16, Cleveland residents will
have the opportunity to show their
loved ones, as well as area patients,
that they care by participating^ a
blood drive sponsored by the Cleve-
land Advocate.
Skilled personnel from The
Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center
will screen and draw donors from
12:30 to 3 p.m and from 4:30 to 7:30

brary located at 220 Bonham in
Cleveland
homes again, and this economy will
get back on its feet.”
Webster points out that the
National Association of Home
Builders says approximately 23
million additional homes will be
built in the 1980’s.
Consequently, with the hope of
an increase in home building, new
and better techniques of making
better wood products, and a better
supply of timber from the advances
being made in the tree improve-
ment concepts, all local lumber
company officials feel the future
will be rewarding
Charles Frankin from Wirt-
Davis Trusts spoke for the entire
lumber industry when he said:
“You’ve got to believe the future is
going to be good. With technology
advancing like it is, the trees being
improved upon, the economy hope-
fully getting better, which will bring
back home building, and wood
products getting better, there’s no
doubt that we got a future We’re
planning on the future:’’
As far as a market for lumber
is concerned, all local lumber com
panies feel there wil always be a ■
demand for lumber However, they
hope the demand for new home
building will increase.
Jim Webster from Kirby, feels
the market is going to improve but.
it will take some time. “It’s going to
improve, but it won’t at any great
pace. People will start buying
BIGLER SAYS THE Texas
Forest Service has a number of
seed orchards planted throughout
____________ id he feels there will
be many more in th*/future “I.
definitely think there will be many
more seed orchards in the future. It
is the best way to have improved
trees."
< He added that the Texas For
est Service is currently playing with
genetic engineering “Genetic en-
gineering is something just being
talked about now. That is sticking
one characteristic with another, but
that ’s very far in the future “

Chuck Hudson of the Advocate
and Barbara Snell are co-chairing
the blood drive and encourage all
area residents to take part in the
drive
Donations may be made for
individual or group Life 4 lan co-
verage) Donors may also replace
■ blood used by patients in any ho-
spital in the United States which
belongs to the National Clearing-
house Program of the American
Association of Blood Banks
(AABB).
To make an appointment to
donate on Mar. 16, call Barbara
Snell at 592-8692 or the Cleveland
Advocate. If you have questions
about .donating, call The Blood
Center at 791-6360;

What does a superior quality
tree look like9 The Texas Forest
Service says the characteristics of a
desirable tree are: superior height East Texas, an
growth rate, superior diameter
growth rate, good pruning ability,
straight, no crook or spiral bole, flat
branch angle, narrow, compact,
well-formed crown, disease resis-
tance, insect resistance, drought
hardiness, wood characteristics
and cold hardiness
/HE FUNDAMENTALS OF
choosing and grading trees for their
characteristics are very complicat-
ed and are still being studied
Improvement in wood quality
is a lol more involved and has been
the subject of discussion for a long
time says Wiley, especially in the
pulp and paper field AboQt 25 years
ago, little was known about wood
quality According to Wiley. in the
last 25 years a great deal has beer,
learned about the way wood quality
does affect pulp and paper making
properties, but it is by no means
simple and straightforward
Wiley points out that wOod that
is good for some things may not be
good for others For example, a
newsprint mill would prefer low
specific gravity wood (jess dense)
A linerboard mill likes to have wood
with high specific gravity (more
dense)
STRAIGHTNESS AND NAT
A RAL pruning also affects wood
quality, since there will be less
compression and fewer knots This
is of value for both lumber and
paper, according to Wiley.
The Texas Forest Service says
that first generation trees in seed
orchards have improved volume 8
to 15 percent, and the second
generation should be better As the
technique of seed orchards and tree
genetics improves so to will the
quality of the trees in the future
