Eldon D. Burgess [Correspondence, Oct. 12] writes: "Even before the owl fraud curtailed logging in the Northwest, trees were being planted for every one harvested. The fact is that since 1920, our inventory of trees has increased every year. We never will run out of trees." Assuming that's true, why is it that the lumber companies don't simply harvest their own increasing inventory of trees and leave the old-growth timber alone? Dudley McFadden Sunnyvale, Calif.
