government timber for private for

country's lumbpr resources.
First operations, officials dis
closed, would be undertaken near
Lakeview, Ore., where an ex
change had been agreed to by own
ers of two, tracts of several hun
dred million feet of timber. Later
the program would be spread to
other sections of the country, they
added.
L. F. Knelpp, assistant chief for
ester, explained the exchanges
would eliminate land stripping by
private operators.
"Instead of peoplo taking all the
timber off their small tracts, they
will be asked to givo their land
with the forest upon it. to the gov
ernment In exchange for national
forest timber of an amount equal
to tlni upon the private land," ho
said. ; . i
"The forest service will tnke the
timber to be paid the private op
urn tor from a much - 'larger area
thain' ''the pupate 'ti'acrf -add thus
avoid forest depletion which would
result if the' private tract - were
stripped." I i j -
Knelpp said eutover' forest, land
was of'liftle Value. In mnny;cnsp.
the private operator left but 10
per cent of the standing timber
after 'completing their operations.
Under the department program.
Knelpp sum, zu cents of every dol
lur of gross revenue from sales of
national forest timber would go to
the counties and a permanent tax''
