Labor Stringency in Northwest Forests Shapes Mills
Forests of the Northwest thin out forcing centers to labor more for less wood says J A Hall director of the Pacific Northwest forest and range experiment station. Grays Harbor Wash area illustrates a cut and get out mill center staying in business with Doaks family. Once 20 mills and 9000 workers produced over a billion feet yearly. Now about 8500 employed, mostly outside saw mills, with less than a third of wood volume passing through Grays Harbor. Close use of fir hemlock and spruce now reduces waste.

Hay Handling Advantages From Agricultural Study
A Bureau of Agriculture Economics and University of Connecticut study finds conventional hay handling with a loose fine grapple fork unloads and mows more hay per hour per man than other methods. The report notes 3.6 tons per man hour with the grapple fork versus 2.3 tons with a stationary chopper and blower, 26 tons with field chopper and stationary blower, and 8.8 tons with a bale elevator. Adding a hay hoist boosts unloading efficiency when a fork is used.

A concise aphorism attributed to Chapin emphasizes virtue as inward character rather than outward actions. It frames goodness as internal integrity over observable deeds, suggesting lasting value lies within the person rather than public display.
