Tremendous losses of timber from wind over the years have spurred foresters to study wind- thrown trees and find ways of re ducing damage; Not only does wind topple trees in inaccessible areas where they cannot be sal vaged, but these fallen trees are the gathering place for insects which multiply and spread to live growing trees. Also, when these trees faU, they break or up root smaller ones nearby, or land on young seedlings, reducing the potential timbr growth for the future. FOR Land Surveying CONTACT Clarence H.
