ovial IP city Man's Reach Should Exceed His Grasp- 4 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. THURSDAY, JULY 25, 1963 Tree Farm Program Is Growing The concept of tree fanning is com paratively new in this country. Tree farming, in fact, has just become of age. American Forest Products Industries, Washington, D.C., is celebrating the 21st anniversary of the American tree farm system, a system which had its birth on the Pacific Coast. From the Pacific Coast it was pos sible to look back across a trail of dev astation left by the woods industry as it moved ' westward from the Atlantic Ocean. ' The timber industry could see ghost towns aud,ei;oded bare hillsides, which ' once were verdant with standing timber. It could, look also -at the virgin trees standing on the mountains of the Pacific region, knowing that these represented the last of the-country's once vast and seemingly inexhaustible resource. It was known,' of course, that some of the country's logged-off lands were re turning to production. In many sections, however, nothing had been done to re store forests. Some land was being farm ed. Some had grown up to brush. M u c h of jt was eroded. 'The plan was to "mine" trees;' to "cut out and get out." But it was seen by thinking individ uals that this policy was at an end. The existing resource would soon be exhaust ed. Then what? From this line of thinking the tree farm was originated. :We came to look upon timber as an other agricultural crop. Nearly all of the major companies to day boast tree farms. They have replant ed logged-off land. They also have bought up marginal lands and have planted trees. Still more important, how ever, is the fact that many owners of farm land have been persuaded to plant trees on marginal acreage. Eventually these acres will produce a crop a crop that even now amounts to around $14 per acre per year, after the harvest stage is reached. During the past year, it was reported to AFPI, certified tree farm acreage in the United States increased by 2,231,620 , acres from 67,176,679 to 59,408,299 acres Certified tree farm units increased from 21,490 to 24,269. It is interesting to observe that three southern states, Alabama, Florida and Georgia, lead in the acreage devoted to tree farms. Each has passed the six-mil-1 ion-acre mark. Another southern state, Mississippi, while having less acreage in trees than its neighbors, has the record for the number of tree farm units, 3,012. One reason for this situation is that the southern states produce a species of pine which can be brought to commercial use in 25 to 30 years. Thus, a tree farm er is assured of at least two good crops during a normal lifetime, But the Douglas fir, with a cycle of from 75 to 125 years doesn't offer the in ducement to the individual to plant, un less he desires to leave something to his heirs. Thus much of the tree farming in the Pacific Northwest is done by the large companies, companies anticipating a long corporate life. f0 v VAC 3n 2)ayd Cjone (Bij Taken from tho filet of Tho Nows-Review 40 YEARS AGO i July 25, 123 i Twentv members of the Port land.

Brice, Jr. News Analysis Editor's Corner By Charles V. Stanton Day's News , By : Frank Jenkins County Will Soon Have Need For Detailed Park Analysis The Marion County Parks Board was advised recently by the Capita) Journal, published in Salem, to make a study of county park needs what isv desired, where, how much, and how can they be financed? Following a thorough study, the newspaper contended, it then would be logical to estab lish a one-mill levy for a poriod of five years as a sinking itind to be used in developing the program. The idea of an exhaustive study, it seems to me, is a most practical one. Jt is a policy most effectively used by the JCal-Ore Recreational Development Association (COR DA)' which embraces Southern Oregon and Northern Cali fornia. The association is managed by "Chuck" Collins, former supervisor of the Douglas County Parks Depart ment;', now CORDA's executive vice president. uougins county s survey or park needs has been only superficial. Douglas County has so many de mands and so many opportunities that a detailed study hasn't been found essential. Yot there has been a Hout of perfunctory analysis, one that :has established the most im portant requirements, areas and priorities. Douglas County is far ahead of other, counties of Oregon In the matter of county park develop-1 nient; in my opinion. Douglas County was first in this field. As a rqsult of the example set by Douglas County we find today that HO ol Oregon's :u counties now havci some sort of organized park program. . Too often, however, we're work ing im a hit-and-miss basis and without adequate planning. Ilricently we've heard some peo- plo In Douglas County saying vc have, .acquired, enough land.

Many land owners have proper ty containing a few acres which could well be dedicated to the pub lic and made availablo for future development in memory of a de parted loved one or of a family. Our county Park Department should be receiving many of those gifts, such as Uie Mack Brown Park, tho O. C. Brown Park, Ziol- kouskl Beach Park, V. T. Jackson Wayside, and others. At the same time, however, the county, I tcel, shouldn't be neglecting acquisi tions where there will be a future demand. People already are complaining about the overcrowding of our parks and picnic places. Douglus County, in addition to the need to obtain more land for future use. has a critical and pressing dc. mand for more development creation of facilities to take care of more people. As said previously, we still have enough outstanding projects that a detailed study is not immediately essential. Yet, the time is not far off when we'll bo crying for such an analysis and this isn t too early to begin estimating future require- As this ! is written, the hulk nf the big news is still up in the an.

By PHIL NEWSOM As the state of Israel has strug gled toward self-sufficiency and a place in the world family of na tions, two conditions peculiar to Israel alone have colored its ac tions and its thinkiiiff. one is the memory of six mi -1 lion Jewish victims of Hitlerism i whjch has prevented normal rela- j Hons with West Germany despite; vast infusions of West German money into the new state. Tho other is the continuing . state of war and suspicion be-! tween Israel and its Arab neigh bors, which occasionally erupts : into violence despite peace-keep ing efforts of the United Nations. It was then with special bitter ness that the Israelis reacted to news that German scientists were at work in Uie United Arab Re public helping President Abdel Gamal Nasser to build up his ar maments in aircraft and rock etry. The argument which boiled up in the Knesset (parliament) had its offshoot in a trial in Basle, Switzerland, of two men convict ed of attempting to "coerce" Ger man scientists in the U.A.R. through threats and an attempted kidnaping. The defense charged that the German scientists were attempt ing to help complete "what Hit ler failed to do" and that deadly cobalt GO ostensibly imported for medical use actually was intend ed for Egyptian rocket war- heads. ' Between the Israelis and the Arabs it was an old story of cs pionagc and counter-espionage, of j charges and counter-charges. j In December, 19ti0, the Israelis I had aroused U.S. concern and I Arab suspicions when the word : leaked out that Israel secretly was constructing a powerful nu clear reactor in the Negev. It , was a recurrence of the night mare having to do with expan sion of the "atomic club." And it led Nasser to declare that if he became convinced Is rael was building atomic wcap vons, then Egypt also would have them no matter what the cost. France was helping Israel to build the new reactor and it is France's new close relationship with West Germany that may lead to a change in the hitter's relationship with Israel. Over the heated opposition ot the militantly anti-German Herut party, Israeli leaders recently have been Impressing upon the people West Germany's import ance to Israel. In May, Deputy Defense Minis ter Shimon Peress declared in an address to the Mapai parly, the strongest political party in Israel, that importance to be "not less than that of France." Before leaving office, one of Premier David Ben Gurion's last official acts was to entertain for mer West German Defense Min ister Franz Josef Strauss. Not so long ago. such a move would have touched off Jewish riots. And in Bonn it was disclosed that for years West Germany has been giving military training to Israeli soldiers. Now the lower house of the West German parliament has asked the Eovernment to introduce legisla tion prohibiting Germans from helping foreign countries to pro duce weapons of mass destruc tion. ,. The reconciliation between the Germans and the Jews which Ben Gurion sought so long may be in the making. OPPORTUNITY FOR I REAL ESTATE Salesman or Saleslady WINTER REAL ESTATE 833 S. E.
