A public session of the Insti
tute of Northwest Resources was
held at Oregon State college on
Tuesday. The Institute is a college
offering of a special short course,
and this public forum introduced
the course. In charge was Dr. J.
G. Jensen of the department of
geography of the state college. It
was a most appropriate undertak
ing for OSC since it is a land
grant college and so has a spe
cial responsibility for instruction
and research in resource fields.
Principal speakers were R. B
Renne, president of Montana State
college, J. C Knott, director of
the institute of" agricultural sci
ences. ESC, Stuart Moir, forest
' counsel of Western Forestry and
Conservation association, and
Ivan Bloch, consulting industrial
engineer, Portland, with Dean
George W Gleason of the OSC
eneineerinc school to summarize
the discussion. In addition there
was a panel of well qualified per
sons to participate in the question
period.
What resources do we have in
land, in forests, in minerals, in
waters, and how may they best
be conserved and used? A -very
important and challenging subject
for inquiry. Noted was the growth
in population in the northwest
which calls for greater local pro
duction and offers a greater con
suming market here at home.
Thus, it was reported that the re
gion no longer exports eggs to
eastern markets: also that it
reaches farther east for imports
of livestock and meat products,
as .a result of its growth in popu
lation. Needed will be continued
bringing of new lands into culu
vation (by clearing, irrigation.
drainage) and improving of farm
technology to increase production.
Forestry offers some hope of
bridging the period successfully
