TAKING
By CHARLES V. STANTON
We will be away from town for a few days.
Being too lazy to write our column in advance for use
during our absence, we have "scissored" material from
other newspapers. Consequently other Oregon editors will
be guest writers during our absence.
The trip we are taking is in connection with an event
which has received little publicity yet has stirred up tre
mendous interest among the state's conservationists.
We are going to Warner valley, in Lake county, a sec
tion of Oregon we have not seen previously. It is there
that the State Land board is proposing to sell several
thousand acres of public lands for agricultural purposes.
The plan involves drainage of some swamp land in one of
the state's finest migratory fowl resting areas.
Protest Is Widespread
The Oregon Game commission is raising strenuous ob
jection to the original drainage and irrigation plan. In
this protest the commission has been joined by duck hunt
ers and conservationists.
Intervening in the dispute, Governor McKay has ordered
an on-the-ground inspection.
The project will be viewed by representatives from the
State Land board, Board of Control, Game commission,
U. S. Fish and Wildlife service, Bureau of Land Manage
ment and other state and federal agencies.
Federal agencies are involved because the project in
cludes plans for a trade for intermingled lands under con
trol of the Bureau of Land Management.
Many conservationists have become interested and have
been invited to participate in the inspection. The Game
commission has set up a camp at Hart mountain antelope
refuge headquarters for the convenience of sportsmen. Large
groups are expected from all parts of the state. Facilities
have been provided where visitors may camp, furnishing
their own bedding rolls. A camp cook will prepare meals,
if desired, but the cost will be collected. Transportation
is to be furnished for ground tours, and state officers will
be flown over the valley for an inspection from the air.
Should Put Land To Best Use
The Warner valley dispute may prove of great importance
as a matter of precedence. It may be the start of a pro
gram to put public land to its best economic use. It also
will have an important bearing on the increasing conflict
between agriculture and wildlife.
A few years ago the State Land board leased many
thousands of acres in lower Warner valley to cattlemen at
an exceedingly low fee. Swamps were drained, thus taking
the land out of use for the seasonal heavy population
of migratory waterfowl. It is feared the same thing will
happen in the northern part
now under investigation, are
Information gathered and published by the Game com
mission indicates that agricultural values of the area
are low. Irrigation is essential, but the supply of surplus
water is limited. Alkalinity is a critical factor. The Game
commission contends that the lands have greater value for
waterfowl use than for submarginal agriculture.
Bird Population Needs Room
Steady encroachment by agriculture on waterfowl habitat
has critically affected the country's bird population. Hun
dreds of thousands of acres of swamp lands have been
"reclaimed" in late years. In many instances the "reclaimed"
land has proven almost worthless for agriculture, has been
abandoned, and today exists as dry desert.
Ducks Unlimited, an organization of conservationists, has
spent millions of dollars, raised by voluntary contributions,
to restore swamps and lakes and thus undo the damage
caused by mistaken reclnmalionists in Canada where
the birds breed and nest. But
this country's flyways are critical, insofar as wildlife is
concerned. As resting areas are reduced, birds arc con
centrated too thickly on remaining habitat, causing much
agricultural damage, while being decimated by hunters.
If drainage projects result in greater economic use of
the land for agriculture than for wildlife habitat, then
there is excuse for reclamation. But too many projects
have been costly mistakes. The forthcoming Warner valley
inspection is to determine how to secure the best agricultural
economy with the least possible damage to waterfowl habitat.
We should have an interesting trip.

played in public Friday night for
the first time since 1945, when he
pledged himself to silence as long

rules his native Spain.
The 73-year-old virtuoso made an
exception in honor of the 200th an

Sebastian Bach. The leading
French Bach festival of the year
is being held in this little mountain
town, where Casals has lived and
taught in self-imposed exile 11
years.
At dusk music lovers crowded
into St. Peter's church, whose ro
manesque belfry towers pictur
esquely over the low, brightly -painted
Catalan houses.
Streams of big American cars
crowded the narrow streets. Por
traits of Bach were in every shop
window.
A large number of the 5,000 in

lasting until June 20.
Pianist Rudolf Serkin and violin
