BOSNIAN LUM9ER CAMP ROADS EATSNDED -- Borba, No 153, 29 Jun 49
A 9-kilometer extension of the "Jan,+," forest railroad line will permit
the opening of a new lumber camp having about 800,000 cubic meters of virgin
timber, mostly conifers. Next year the line Is scheduled to be extended. AA-
other 8 kilometers. It will then give acce:,s to enough timber to supply the
enterprise's largest sawmill.
A 16-kilometer ropeway to carry railroad ties, firewood, and wood for
cel'1 lose is under construction. Several kilometers have already been built.
.Anoth3r ropeway 4 kilometers long, is under construction at Smiljarini Potok.
A truck road, 11-kilometers long, will extend from the terminus of this rope-
way to the main road. A truck road at Porecka Rijeka, now being built at top
speed, will connect the forest railroad with the main road. The deadline for
the ovapletion of this road is 30 June.
A crane is being installed at the Stolovas Lumber camp to carry lumber

NEW F O,,ESr AREAS TO BE OPENED -- Borba, ho 153, 29 Jun 49
Bosanaka Krupa -- Thies year several. new roads are being built in the ter
ritory of the "Una" Wood Industry Enterprise. Their ocapletion will open t
large area of virgin forest containing 1,300,000 cubic meters of wood for
ezp.loit,3Lion.
. truck road, 83 ki lcmeters long, from Tabelica to Suvajoirm, will open
a r:,w lumbering area containing about 800,000 cubic meters of outet.tidi't beech
wood. The forest at Suvajcir,.. has never beet out. All the earthwork has al
rcody been completed, and the road will be entirely finished by l August.
The main truck road, in the Iiavni Do lumbering district will be extended 5
iicmeters to Bjelajska Uraia, where about a half million cubic meters of ever-
een timbir await exploitation. The earthwork has been completed on 2 kilo-
motera of this road.
Seoerai ropeways will be installed this year in the Turshos Pods lumbering
diatri,L. Truck roads will not be built'because this district does not have a
great deal of wood, but ropewaye will be built from the and of the present road
to all points where lumber is to be out. The old roads to the Turekaa Voda and
Havni Do lumber camps will be repaired.
H, new sawmill, one of the, most modern in Yugoslavia, will be put into
operation within a few days at the headquarters' of the "Una" Enterprise. All
construction has already been completed.
A 1,200-meter ropeway for the transport of wood has been installed in who
lumber camp at Leskovac in Serbia. The ropeway can be set up wherever It is
needed. It will take the place of roads, the construction of which would have
cost 180,000 dinars, occupied 100 skilled workers for 20 days, and used up 120
cubic meters of the beet beech wood.
The installation of the ropeway has increasad the transport of wood in
the camp and lowered transport costa by 65 ye-cont. It assures a supply of
wood to the sawmill even during bad weather when draft animals cannot work.
NEW BOvf"WAY IN SLOVENIA -- Borba, No i59, 6 Jul 49
The workers of the forestry collective at Celje, in Slovenia have built a
new ropeway 3.800 meters long. It has been in operation for the last month,
carrying about 100 cubic meters of beech wood o the truck road every day.
Good harvests are expected in all districts of the Vojvodina. Current
estimates predict an average yield of 15 - 16 metric centnere of wheat per
hectare, or about 20 percent more than the 10-year prewar average for the same
territory. The best yield of white grains is ezuected in Central and Southern
Backa, near Zrenjanin; and in the southern part of the Banat.
This year the entire harvest and threshing on state farms will be done by
machine. If there are not enough machines, the People's Councils will mobilize
privately owned machinery for use on the state farms. This should obviate such
losses as were suffered last year because of the shortage of manpower on state
farms,
