During the last decade the Forest Service has classified as agricultural and opened to public entry more than 15.500 Individual scattered tracts of land In the National forests, compris ing; more than 1.700.000 acres, saya an article by the Chief Forester, published In the Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture. Just Issued. Within the lsst two years. In addition, several large blocks have been eliminated ag gregating more than 2.100,000 acres, while nearly 1.000.000 acres more are now under consideration for elimination. All the remaining agricultural land In the National foresta la confined I chiefly In Isolated scattered tracts, to restricted areas requiring Irrigation, where- water cannot be obtained; and to certain river bottoms and benches which are not covered with heavy and valuable timber. Kpeealators Prevent Farming. Constant pressure is bcintr brought to bear on the Government by private individuals who want to acquire pos session ,oi tnese heavily timbered agrl cultursl lands, single quarter sec tions of which often have a value aa high ss 1:0,000 for the timber slone. In spite of the fact that aome of these lands have soil suitable for agricul ture, the Service contends that to throw them open as homesteads would not result In farm development This nas been proved over snd over sgain, It Is declared, where lands of this kind, acquired under tha homestead law, are today held not by homesteaders but by lumber companies, who promptly purchased them from the settlers as soon aa the title passed from the Gov ernment a speculative process which effectively prevents one of small means from acquiring land and establishing homes. Th Government Is withholding from agricultural entry all such heavily timbered land until after tho timber it cut off. As soon aa this Is done the land will be opened to entry and settlers will ba able to acquire directly from the Government, without cost. Instead of having to pay from 140 to 140 an acre to land speculators. 10,000 Acres t Bo Available, For example, on the Knnlksu Na tional Foreat In ld.iho and Washington, tha Government's timber sales have been made to Include much of the remaining timbered agricultural land. Within eight years fully 10.000 acres will be made available for settlement Permanent homes may be established by the settlers, snd there will be avail able for the use of communities ap proximately 1125.000 for roads and schools, their legal share of the pro ceeds from the timber sales. Private ownership of heavily timbered-agricultural land blocka farming develop ment, saya the article; Government ownership Insures such development under conditions that give opportuni ties to tha amall settler whose only eapltal Is his strength and courageous perseverance. On of the moat serious agricultural prnblema of the Northwest today Is tha development of the logged-off lands In private ownership. In Oregon and Wnshington alone more than three mil lion acrea of such logged-off lands are lying Idle, although much of thla area has fine agricultural soil and a climate that Inaurea abundant crops and tha development of thriving communities. Yet In this same region hundreds of settlers are seeking to find places .In Ihs National forests, usually remote from transportation, high In the moun tains, where the climate la harsh and tha soil relatively poor, simply because the good lands at lower levels outside th forests' are held by the speculators at prohibitive prices.
