The occasion was a guided tour onthe afternoon of June 23 preceding theJune 24, 32ndmeeting of the Board ofDirectors at State University of NewYork's International Center near Oys-ter Bay, L.I. Of the 409 acre estate,160 acres are permanently preservedand developedas an arboretum. Thereare walking trails through some 200acres of fine woodlands.

The estate was formerly owned bythe late Robinson Coe and presentedas a gift to the people of the State ofNew York in 1949 and now part of theState University.

For over 40 years Mr. Coe collect-ed and planted outstanding trees andshrubs, particularly rhododendronsand azalias which he admired.

WHY NOT INVITE INDIVIDUALSAWLOG AND PULPWOODOPERATORS INTO NYFOA?

One of the main objectives of theNew York Forest Owners Associationis "to benefit forest owners by prob-ing for problems and finding solutions. "This statement implies that there mustbe an exchange of ideas and methodsrelating to or dealing with the morecommonforest management problems.

Unless a forest owner is also anoperator, then such an exchange willbe equivalent to a television rerun •..repetition on a high level. It does littlegood to talk about what has happenedto a forest or woodlot, and then endup condemning the operator or cutter'for his alleged poor cutting practices.The logical step is tous e this past his-tory as a step forward toward betterfor est management practices, and,_strangely enough, s ornet irne s theyturn out to be more economical meth-ods.

One way to do this is by havingeveryone concerned be able to presenthis views and lend practical experience

As a starting place, I would offerthe suggestion that every member ofNYFOA in selling, buying or dealingwith sawlog or pulpwood cutters in-vite these timber harvesters to jointhe organization.

I believe the sooner the better, be-cause the forest industry cannot dowithout them and the As sociation needstheir support to meet the overall aimof " s erving forest owner s and buildingbetter forests in New York State. "

CORNE1L:5 ARNOT F()REST ISFOCUS ON ARNOT Icont'd.)Cons ervation Camp was opened at Ar-not Forest and continued until May1937. Truck trails , horse trails, foottrails were built, boundaries surveyed,fire breaks made, together with for-est stand improvement.

In 1934 the Arnot Forest becameone of 17 experiment stations scatter-ed across the nation for the study ofwater runoff and soil erosion, withsome plots entirely in forest. The re-sults were of great value and interestin soil and water conservation and animportant contribution in the earlydays to what is now the Soil and WaterCons ervation Service.

The forty year old Arnot Forestturned over to Cornell University in1927 with 1641 acres has become animportant conservation education cen-ter for 4-H leader training conserva-tion camps, for teachers' conserva-tion work shops, and other workshops.

SEARCH FOR "ELBOW-ROOM"ENDS IN WOODLANDS - Part 1.

Like many other owners of smallwoodlands I was born in a city andmade my living in cities. Howeverin my youth I had the good fortune tobe able to spend vacations in a moun-tainous rural area and gained an in-terest in the woods and wildlife thathas grown with the years.

After twenty years in the suburbsof New York City my wife and I begana search for more "elbow-room" andin 1944 bought a worn- out dairy farmof 200 odd acres in the stony hills ofBroome County. Of this land 90 acreswas in pasture, ranging from fair toquite poor, 55 acres in meadowland,with 65 acres of woodlot or unusedmargins. As time passed we wereable to lease out some of the bettermeadowland for grazing, but madesure that it was all tightly fenced offfrom the rest of the property.

After a warning of a few spattersof rain, sufficient to bring out wetweather attire, first stop was the 100foot swimming hole bulldozed out threeyears ago, now at a summer low.

SWIM AND FISH POND ATRIDER'S CAMP

From the high water levei of wintercomes 12" to 14" thick cakes of ice,next year to be packed in a just builtice house to meet the need for refrig-eration because the camp has no elec-tricity.

Following a former logging roadthe hikers came to a small but excel-lent thrifty stand of hemlock. Here an

older hemlockhadrecentlybeenpierc-ed some 40 feet above the ground by apileated woodpecker. The vertical 4"wide and 6" deep incision was madewith an engineer's eye for precisioncutting along the two straight parallellines marking the sides of the cut.

Next we looked out over what hadbeen a 25 acre lake, now with only atrickle ofwater flowing through it be-cause the former dam had either beenblasted, or eroded by flood waters.Lew Rider talked of possible replace-ment of the dam that went out a dec-ade ago.

Retracing our steps on the woodsroad the Woods Walkers went up alonga ridge through- ayoung -hardwood--·stand with maples showing the bestprospects for the future. Here somechemical thinning had been started,with more to come under the guidanceof Bob Whittwer, Conservation De-partment forester based at Warrens-burg. Some 50 yards down to the leftof the trail was a prospector's longdeserted shaft 3 to 4 foot diameterdown some 30 to 40 feet. Rubble tak-en from the diggings was strung outfor some 50 or 60 yards and revealed.a variety of mineral bearing stone.'Dr. Rider's son Jeff describing themining effort surmised that the hopedfor material was garnet because ofthe presence of nearby commercialgarnet mines or that the prospectingmay possibly have been for graphite.

The heavy downpour shortened thetrail side discussion but not withoutcomment regarding noticed mushrooms,ferns; flowers, shrubs and the vari-~y of trees-. --- _. -

There is abundant evidence thatLew and Mim Rider derive immensepleasure fr orn this Adirondack camp.Their goodfriends, Al and Helen Da-vies, share in the strenuous ice cut-ting and hauling by toboggan.

Jens U. Hansen has forest acre-age only a few miles away. He is of-feringhis forest property for a WoodsWalk next year. So there is a goodchance for NYFOA members visitingthis part of the Adirondacks, to joininaHansen Woods Walk for late Juneof 1968 .

No doubt about it. Our NYFOAmembers are finding time spent liv-ing in the woods a sour ce of contin-ous interest and satisfaction - rain orshine!

SATUNDAY TPUI TO: COTT()N-HANLON MILL I

VISIT TO COTTON-HANLONSATURDAY TOUR FEATURE

Organized 46 years ago by B. J.GottonandHoward A. Hanlon, Cotton-Hanlon, Inc. in Odessa and Cayuta,N. Y., has become one of the most im-portant hardwood utilization centersofthe NortheasternStates. At Cayuta,N. Y. is the Ireland Mill and SupplyCo., Inc , , a subsidiary of Cotton-Hanlon which manufactures completesawmills, edgers and trimmers forsale to lumber companies throughoutthe Northeastern United States.

Thirty thousand acres of forestland owned by Cotton-Hanlon is man-agedtoassure a perpetual cut of tim-ber for generations to come. The landsare open to the public for hunting-fish-ing and other recreation.

An important opening day in 1947showed a Cotton-Hanlon retail yard atOdessa, N. Y. with 100,000 sq. ft. offloor space under one roof covering2-1/4 acres, where customers camefrom as far as a hundred miles awayfor a complete service in home plan-ning, building, furnishing and decorat-ing. Then on August 5, 1962 lightningstruck. Enough material, to build andcomplete 150homes, went up in smokein a matter of minutes. Rebuildingstarted immediately.

At Cayuta where we will be visitingthe Cotton-Hanlon hardwood lumbermanufacturing plant, said to be thelargest and most complete integratedhardwood plant in the Northeast, logsarrive at Cayuta from many sectionsof New York State and Pennsylvania,and include white oak, pine, basswoodand Adirondack birch.

So extensive are the operationsthat it takes 10 acres of roof shelterto dry the hardwood lumber. Modernequipment including a fleet of trucksfor long distance hauling and a priv-ately owned fire department, is onhand for instant service.

Hardwood flooring featured in chur-ches, school gymnasiums, dancefloors and bowling alleys are an im-portant part of the hardwood Cotton-Hanlon sales.

Cayuta Farms includes the grow-ing of trees with the better acres re-served for grazing some 300 head ofHerefords. Several farm ponds pro-vide employees and the public withgood fishing.

NYFOA member Robert M. Sand,

FAYETTEVILLE-MANLIUS AREA AND THE DUTCH ELM DISEASEDutch Elm Disease is the fatal tree disease that has been killing elm tree

in our state since its introduction in the thirties. A pencil-tip sized beetletransmits a deadly fungus from diseased elms, in which it breeds, to healthyelms, on which it feeds. The beetles which transmit the disease lay eggs inthe trees they have killed, thus supplying a brood to hatch out, feed and con-tinue the cycle of beetles and dead elms.

This cycle will go on endlessly. and in most parts of our state it has. Oneof two things will stop it: depletion of live elms for their f'eedi.ngj or man'intervention. Intervention is the step I have taken in my area, and althoughhas not stopped the disease it has slowed it down.

Twoyears ago I made a survey of all the elms that appeared diseased.list was divided into those trees that pertained to government rights ofand those of private property. The governmental bodies were informed ofwhere-abouts of their bad trees, and they removed them a~d destroyedThe private property owners were informed by mail of trees diseased onproperty, and were requested to remove them at their own expense. The rsult was 325 trees removed and destroyed.

What happened was that we broke the beetle's cycle. They winter overdiseased trees as larva, and it was these infested trees that were destroyethus destroying the disease's vector. The trees were all dead as a resultthe disease and therefore of no value to anybody. Removing them eliminatthe beetles and a dangerous situation of dead and insecure trees.

This year another drive at eliminating diseased trees from the areajust been completed. This time 330 bad elms were destroyed. More thanyear for two reasons: the area covered was almost doubled, and striking rsults are not to be expected right away. This summer should show the effof the project, in that few elms should fall victim to the disease.

Any of the readers of the Forest Owner can start such a volunteer progrin their community. As long as you still have one stately and healthy elmhave a reasonfor controling Dutch Elm Disease. Simply follow the same sI took in my area. I can tell you now,' however, that there will be somestacles. The first will probably be the local government. They will feelitwillcosttoomuch. The only cost to them is to remove trees on public prerty. Unless they take part in the program the cycle will not be broken, athey will end up with more work in the end as the disease snow-balls outcontrol.

The next big problem is with the private property owner and his diseastrees. He will want the government to do the work, but unless your govement has, or can raise, funds the person must go it alone. The best waygetting the job done is to talk with the people individually and convince theof the importance of the control effort. See if public officials can arrangepick up wood when it is put to the curb. Boy Scouts, volunteers or evenful law breakers can be used to help the person get the job done at as lowprice as possible.

One last point is to make sure all wood cut is destroyed before May firThis is done by burning it or burying it under one foot of packed earth.

In general this is what we do in my area and I feel it is working. Savingelms in New York is a job that must be done now or never. For moremation on what you can do for your area contact either your county agent,College of Forestry at Syracuse or myself through this bulletin. Whatyour area look like with its elms gone? Think about it, then act on it!
