Mr for Orffoo. Important branches
a"f forestry work which hitherto have
been conducted tinker tha wins; of the
Nattorsl forestry Service wtll b. taken
in charae by th. Stata Forestry D.
parimeni. As a result Is Is "believed the entire
work of development of forestry con
ditions In Oreon will be nialeriallv
enhanced and reforestation and the
raltrnt features which surround t'.-.e
srowth of private timber landa aa an
as-set to the state will b. mor. closely
fostered and protected.
The infant Plat. Board of Forestry,
which has been in esletene. now a Hi
ll, less than a year, has devoted Its
major work lo the establishment and
promotion of a system of Or. protec
llon. This. In his lelter lo the Na
tional Forester, Btat. Forester Klllott
lieclarea Is the essential primary fac
tor In protection of the forest re
sources. Vs Poller laaawrtaat.
Forester Graves. In hi letter, has
announced what Is practically a new
foreetrv policy in many rcrarda and la
considered of signal Importance, espe
i tally to statea such aa Oreron. where
there are vast timbered areaa of Im
mense value.
"For "many yeara It has been the
nollcy of the Forest Service, as far aa
men and funds wer. available, to as-
1st prlvat. owners In the practice of
forestry." said Forester Graves, In an-noun'-lns
the proposed policy. 'This
iu Israrce has Included the, distribution
of publication, speclrlc advice by enr
rcionderice and In many cases field
examination of tracts whose owners
desired to plant forest trees or adopt
I'clter methods of cutting woodland.
While the Forest rrvic. is prepared
to continue th. publication and dis
tribution of material which will bene
fit prlvat owners and the furnishing
of adTtr. on specific tracts by corre
spondence. Ita resources now permit
but a very limited number of field ex
aminations of private holdings. It la
my conviction that the Forest tervlce
should largely discontinue this feature
of Its former work.
"The trradual creation of a profession
of forestry In private life and the de
velopment of foreatry aa a definite fea
ture of a number of stat. Kovernmenta
are making expert advice from other
source available to the interested
owner.
F.reat ervlee- Scop Wide.
"In my Judnment the Forest Bervlc.
can ns. what resourcea It baa for the
promotion of forestry In th. country
generally most effectively by devoting
lis efforts mainly to scientific Investi
gations and the publication of the re
sulis. -As a feature of this policy, the rap
id development of state foret organi
sation susgeeta the advisability of a
definite understanding with each atate
regarding the phases of aslsfince to
private owners which the state Is pre
pared to assume and which the Fed
eral Government ahould refer to the
state concerned. State officers, with
their more Intensive knowledge of lo
cal conditions, are In a better position
than the Forest Service to advise pri
vate owners In the stale on the appli
cation of forestry to their specific con
ditions. It Is my desire to see the
states which hsve facilities for such
work cover this field aa far aa they are
able.
To the same extent, furthermore, that
the stales which have foreaters or in
stitutions conducting forest Investiga
tions are able to furnish the e-xpert ad
vice needed at least by the smaller
private owners, the forest service will
be able to extend Its scientific Investi
gations and Its co-operation with
owners In tfec states which lack such
factlitlc. In all caea the forest serv
ice stands ready to co-operate as far
as it can with any state whose forest
development It may be able to assist,
but In the specific respects outlined
above, t believe that the time has
come for the eervice definitely to turn
over a ronWlerable portion of the
work which It has hitherto done to the
state organisations."
Mate t Carry W.rk.
Continuing Jn his letter Torester
Graves sets out four specific changes
which he believes will result In a
much more Increased efficiency In the
general forestry service by co-operation
between the state and Federal Gov
ernment and all of these four requests
have been granted by State Forester
Klllott and the work will be carried on
under th. direction of the atate In th.
future.
These four requests involve In sub
stance the following:
That reineta for addresaea on forestry
at mertlnsa larfrly attended by farmers or
limber land owners be handled! by the state
department: that applications for advlra
on planting and rittttnr woodland, which
can be fumlfhM without the necessity of
fteM examination, he han.Hvd by the statt
d'ranmnt; that applications for adxlce on
ruttln or planting, whlrh tlo require field
examination, h. anwered and handled by
the ooprtmvnt and that applications for
preliminary field examinations or the
preparation of working plans for large tracts
be also nanaiea o
'If certain classes of requests origi
nating In your slate should be referred
directly to the state university, agri
cultural experiment station or other In
stitutions, which Is prepared to comply
with them, I shall be glad to be so
Informed.-' Forester Graves continues,
t e-Operatloa Tlaa Oat.
He further saya many examinations
and reports have been made by the
Forest Service in the past on private
tracts In Oregon and he will forward
these for the use of tha State Depart
ment. Kxcnange of reports and scien
tific data la further asked in the pro
posed plan of co-operation. Sugges
tions as to co-operation along educa
tional lines la also made and assistance
asked.
State Forester Elliott Is pleased with
the proposed plans for changes In the
National service and outlined at length.
In reply to the National Forester, his
acknowledgement of the feasibility of
the plan and the desire of the State
Department to tako up the sugges
tions offered and to carry them through.
"uch arrangement would put this
office In cloeer touch with various kinds
of Information along forestry lines
desired by the people of Oregon." saya
the State Forester "and would serve,
undoubtedly, to suggest profltnblo sub
jects for speclsl Investigation and
study, thereby developing our work
so as to conform more fully with the
intent of the law. Investlgatlone along
other lines are suggested as well
which may bring about further develop
ment of ro-opcratlon between the atata
and National departments."
