' AP)?Successful exB^ments with an overhead cable system indicate loggers will be able to harvest timber on steep slopes previously considered un satisfactory for logging. The Rocky Mountain Forest and | Range Experiment Station report ed after a season's experiments: "Harvesting of these idle forest stands not only permits the utiliza tion of wood which otherwise might be lost to insects, disease, decay, or old age, but fosters the advent of forest and watershed manage ment for high-altitude, steep slope timberlands." > The station added that the riv moval of the steep-slopgd forests "in prescribed cutting patterns will improve forest growth and in crease the snowpack available lor water yield." Remote timberlands on the Fraser Experimental Forest in north central Colorado were se lected for the test. An overhead i cable system of 2-ton capacity was installed. The cutting strip was one-half milp long. 330 feet wide and in cluded an estimated 160,000 board feet of spruce-fir timber. The slopes varied from 30 to 80 pur cent with an average of 50 per cent. A five-man logging crew worked for seven weeks. It delivered to the landing at the base of the slope 128.000 board feet. More than 79, 000 hoard feet were delivered dur- j ing the final 14 days of logging. Foresters in advance estimated! the total costs for skidding and yarding would be $16 per thousand board feet net log scale. The total operating cost was $13.06 per thou sand board feet. The cost of in stalling the overhead cable system was not included. The station said a well-trained crew should be able to install the equipment in three [to four days.
