The AMES FORESTER 1966 VOLUME 53 P UBLISHED BY FORESTRY CLUB IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY AMES, IOWA FOREWORD Forestry research is becoming more and more im­ portant in terms of the amount of time and money spent for it. Continued growth of forestry research will result in greater problems in the acquisition and allocation of research funds, and in gu~ding the re­ search into those areas ,that will yield the most bene­ fit to society. The 1966 "Ames Forester" staff seeks to help publicize this problem because understanding the problem is a necessary first step in its solution. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Ames Forester is grateful to all those who helped make this publica:tion possible. We deeply appreciate the financial support of our pwtrons and advertisers. The help and advice of Dr. William Bentley, our faculty adviser, and Mr. Robert Schwartz of the Iowa State University Press were invaluable. We are further indebted to the faculty members, students, and other individuals who offered help and sug­ gestions.

  • Conifer Pruning EB1984
    EB1984 Donald P. Hanley, Ph.D. Stephen Reutebuch, M.S. Conifer Pruning Conifer pruning is the practice of removing the lower branches from live green conifer trees. Without pruning, the lower branches on conifers, such as Douglas-fir, western larch, and ponderosa pine, may persist for up to 80 years. The primary objective of pruning for wood quality improvement is to produce a small, uniform knotty core throughout the length of the pruned bole so that clear wood volume will be maximized. Achieving this objective may result in increased financial returns to the landowner when the trees are harvested. There are many other benefits from pruning, even if clear wood production or financial concerns are of secondary importance. These include: • Increased understory vegetation for wildlife. As young stands are thinned and the dominant and co-dominant trees are pruned, more light will reach the forest floor, resulting in increased grass, herb, and shrub vegetation over time. This new vegetation often attracts wildlife as forage, browse, and hiding cover. • Reduced fuel ladders. A “fuel-ladder” is the pathway that a fire can travel from the forest floor up to the tree canopy. Unpruned trees in unthinned stands have many low branches that can increase the probability of a fire getting into the tree crowns. Once the fire is in the crown, the likelihood of tree death is high and the probability of rapid fire spread increases. • Reduced incidence of disease. For some diseases, such as the introduced blister rust in white pine, pruning is a primary weapon in reducing the disease spread as blister rust fungi enters the tree through its needles near the ground.

Summer Camp 1948 ONE twenty-first, nineteen hundred forty-eight. This is the .) date. On this day the Kaniksu National Forest found it had one hundred and eight potential foresters eager to learn about the practices of forestry and the ways of the birds and bees. To orient ourselves we'll catch a glimpse of Priest River. The village of Priest River is located on U. S. highway 10 A and the main line of the Great Northern Railroad at the mouth of the Priest River Valley which extends north into Canada. It is the trading center for a large lumbering and agricultural area and is the gateway to beautiful Priest Lake. Industrial activities include 7 sawmills, 3 cedar pole yards, 4 shingle mills and large logging operations. One of the most important things we learn at camp is to enjoy the full benefits of good fellowship. Students and faculty are well known to each other, and thus form the basis for this communal attitude in the affairs of the school.
