NEW ERA SEEN
IN ALASKA BY
PORTLAND MAN
t. 7. Munger Says New
Forest Development Era
for Alaska at Hand.

The forests of Southeastern AL
aska are primarily and potentially
valuable for the manufacture Of
pulp and paper and it is to the
best interest of the Territory, the
country at large and the paper
manufacturing industry that they
be maintained in perpetuity
through natural processes of re-
forestation. This is the view Of
Thornton T. Munger, Director Of
the Pacific Northwest Forest Ex-
pertinent Station, at Portland.
He arrived here Thursday night
from Ketchikan and will spend
several days in this district He
came to Alaska at the invitation
of District Forester Charles II.
Flory to assist local foresters in
starting studies of forest growth
and forest management.
Enters New Era
Alaska is entering upon new
and important Industrial era with
the sales of two large blocks Of
pulp timber to assured paper mills.
Mr. Munger said today. "This
great increase in timber cutting
activity on the National Forests
brings problems which have not
been met before The cutting of
large areas annually must be done
in such way that the forest win
be sure to reproduce itself. This
necessitates study of ways OF
leaving seed trees to. best secure
reforestation. 1t is very desirable
to increase in the next crop the
proportion of spruce in the Alaska
forests. Study of soils and meth
DDS of cutting may reveal ways
