Farmers Use Storm
Aid In Wise Manner
Douglas County farmers have
made good uso of emergency aid
in the past year to help them re
cover from setbacks received a
year ago this week in the historic
Columbus Day windstorms.
Shortly after the wind subsided,
the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture made emergency funds avail
able on a cost-sharing basis to
help farmers restore damaged
farmlands to productive use, ex
plained Curtis Barker, 'chairman
of the Douglas County Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation
Committee which administers the
funds.
.. Through September, this emer
gency assistance had been used
to complete 161 projects in debris
removal from fields and orchards.
stream clearance and woodlot
cleanup on 175 Douglas County
farms, he noted, using approxi
mately $20,000 in federal funds,
The government paid up to 80 per
cent of the cost.
County Gets $45,000
, A total of $45,000 was allocated
to Douglas County for the emer
gency programs. So far, requests
have been received by the coun'.y
committee for projects on 180
farms. No more emergency aid
applications are being accepted
" Orchard clean-up and removal of
debris from small streams were
the first two major concerns of
most growers, Barker explained
With technical assistance from the
county extension agents and mon
ey from ASC, many growers
cleared damaged orchards while
others readied their land for new
plantings. Full production is still
in the future, but the first firm
steps have been taken.
Stream clearance to prevent
flooding and erosion was also high
on the list as farmers went to
work clearing waterways before
Iwinter rains could cause further
damage. Cost-sharing assistance
was generally limited to small
streams on which no other public
agency was already working, he
said.
: Technical Aid
Farm woodlots are' still being
cleaned-up, with technical advice
coming from state farm foresters
and financial aid from ASC, the
chairman said. The removal of
downed trees and other debris
from woodlots has become an item
'of major importance in the face of
fire danger and because downed
timber is a breeding place for in
sects damaging to Oregon's forest
economy.

roots, and bits and pieces of metal

Douglas County fields after
the
storm has largely been accom
plished, Barker added.
Western Oregon, as a whole, was
declared a disaster area after the
unusual storm and a total of $3,
799,000 was made available by the
USDA to farmers in the stricken
area. Through August more than
$3,600,000 had been allocated to
assist with clean-up work, the
chairman pointed out
In the disaster counties, a total
of 9,202 requests have been made
for emergency assistance. Through
August, some 4,645 farm projects
had been completed, with the gov
ernment contributing $1,377,000.
Coit Sharing Noted
Although the storm aftermath
provided a dramatic example of
government costing-shanng con
servation practices, such programs
have been in effect for years, noted
Barker.
Cost-sharing funds are regularly
made available to Douglas County
growers who desire to put worth
while conservation practices into
effect under the Agricultural Con
servation Program (ACP), he stat
ed.
Improvements on small streams
to prevent flooding and erosion is
a regular part of the ACP as is
improving of farm woodlots. Other
ACP practices for which cost-shar
ing funds are available include:
(1) Installing of open drainage
ditches, (2) constructing irrigation
dams, (3) seeding of cover crops
in orchards, and (4) clearing of
competitive shrubs in pastureland.

Logging Congress
Set At Portland
Loggers from every western
state and Canada will gather at
Portland, Ore. on Nov. 6 to 8 for
the 54th annual Pacific Logging
Congress, billed as the biggest
ever.
More than $15 million worth of
logging and construction machin
ery will be on display at the giant
Portland Coliseum, according to
Robert P. Conklin, president of the
congress. Cnrwin Woolley, execu
tive vice president, reports this is
the lurgqst machinery show in the
history of the congress. '
A total 2,500 loggers are expect
ed, Conklin advised, for the three
days of meetings.
The theme of the congress, Conk
lin pointed out, is "The Business
Of Logging." We have a top flight
cast of speakers," he said, "who
will cover many aspects of logging
of vital importance to the in
dustry." Probably the star attraction will
be Dr. Irving P. Krick, Denver,
controversial meteorologist, who
will close out the business sessions
on Friday with a talk on "Logging
And Weather." Krick has already
stuck his neck out with a forecast
made several months ago that
Portland will enjoy good weather
during the three days of the log
ging congress.
Other hcadliners include J. Rog
er Dcas, American Can Co.. New
York, who will give the keynote
address Nov. 6. Later the same
afternoon. It. J. Whittle, B.C. For

Of this volume, 152,000,000 board
feet consisted entirely of salvage
timber while the remainder includ
ed undamaged trees which had to
be removed in order to conduct
the salvage operations. An addi
tional 62,000,000 board feet of un
damaged green timber was offer
ed for sale during the same pe
riod, mostly in the southern por
tion of the district where blowdown
damage was light.
According to latest district esti
mates, approximately 32,000,000
board leet of wind-damaged tim
ber remain to be offered to com
plete the district's salvager-program.
All but a relatively small
percentage of this volume will be
offered for sale before Jan. 1,' 1964.
Salvage sales 'offered to date
cover a total of 13,520 acres.
Wherever possible, BLM foresters
marked for cutting only the wind
thrown or damaged trees, leaving
the remaining, undamaged trees
standing for future harvests. Of
the listed total, 7,680 acres fall into
this category. Timber on the re
maining 5,840 acres was damaged
so severely that clear-cutting was
necessday. .
Timber operators are making
good progress in removal of sal
vage material from the woods. To
date, timber purchasers in the
Roseburg district" have removed
96,000,000 board feet from BLM
salvage sales. Salvage operations
are complete on 5,310 acres, in
cluding 3,470 acres where only
damaged trees were removed. Op
erators nave concentrated on these
partially cut areas in an effort
to reduce the danger of bark
beetle attacks next spring. Since
most of the larger sales are; or
will be, located on rock-surfaced
roads, removal of salvage Umber
will continue at a high rate through
the winter.
BLM foresters are most grateful
for the excellent cooperation re
ceived from the lumber, industry,
cooperating agencies, and countv
residents in carrying out the sal
vage program, the announcement
states.

Marriott had envisioned

equipment as constituting a
spring
tapper," and it was for this use he
was called on to assist Walter W.
Williams of Azalea, near High
way 99, who needed adequate wat
er for house supply. Marriott care
fully studied a green patch of
ground on the hillside near the
Williams home. He checked it care
fully for existance of water with
his '"witching" or- "dousing" rod,
with which he has had some previ
ous experience.
He' estimated direction and dis
tance of the water from the point
where his drilling would begin and
then set up his equipment. He
drilled 235 feet to tap the spring
which they suspected existed. The
spring was there, and it has been
flowing at the rate of about three
gallons a minute since. The water
is good, and Williams plans to build
a concrete box around the piped
outlet and use it for household and
yard.
When Marriott, wno is retired
and spends part of the year here
and part in California, returns
south, Dick Darrow, who operates
a garage on Marriott's property
here and who has worked with him
on the use of the equipment, will
continue to have it available for the
special problem drilling jobs it
seems to handle so effectively.

By 26 Per Cent
A dues cut of more than 26 per
cent was announced by the Doug
las Fir Plywood Association at its
fall membership meeting Monday
night.
Executive Vice President James
R. Turnbull recommended trim
ming the dues from 75 cents per
thousand square feet to 55 cents.
He reported acceptance of the rec
ommendation by the Board of
Trustees, at the same time said
the association probably will be
able to expand its programs in
1964.

effect in 1981, raising dues to SI
per thousand, was dropped in April,
reducing payments by members to
the 75-cent level.
