WAR DEPLETED
STOCK RANGES
Forestry Official In Charge
Of Grazing Says Northwest
Feeding Grounds Exhausted
By Excessive Demands.
Spokane, Wash., Jan. 28. Deple
tion of the range in the national for
ests of the west, due to extraordinary
demands made upon it by the war,
trill necessitate marked restrictions
upon its future use until the setback
it has suffered has been overcome.
Will C. Barnes, assistant United
States forester in charge of grazing
told delegates to the American Live
slock association convention here to-day.
In spite of the drouth for three sue
Cfssive years in the southwest, and
the drouth and the unusually damag
ing forest fires last season in north
western states, more than one mil
lion additional head of cattle and
Btieeo were cared for on the forest
ranges as a war emergency, he de-
dared. In addition, the war called
away many rangers and herders, and
only about 65 per cent of the former
have returned to the service.
Reduction of the number of stock
on the ranges, Kir. Barnes said, will
be effected through withdrawal of
temporary permits issued during the
war. Another measure contemplated
to assist in the recovery of the range
will be shortening of the grazing sea
son in forests through postponement
by ten or fifteen days for opening
date for grazing in the spring.
To counteract the effect of these
measures, Mr. Barnes urged the stock
men to Improve the breed of their
slock and maintain smaller herds, by
which means, he declared they would
increase their revenue.

- Sounding a warning that a move
ment is on foot to disrupt the federal
farm loan system, and charging the
delegates in attendance here to the
Oregon state association of the fed
eral farm loan associations to be wary
and to strive against this for the
maintenance of the system, A. W.
Hendricks, president of the Stock
Land Bank of 8an Francisco, spoke
at the Hotel Marion Wednesday noon
The delegates to the convention were
guests of the Salem Rotary club at
the luncheon.
Jealous private bankers, more par
ticularly in the east than on the coast
Mr. Hendricks asserted, who have
been deprived of some of their usual
profits because of the operations of
the federal farm loan organization,
are working to break up the system,
Growth is Traced
The birth of the federal farm loan
system, from the time the question
was first agitated 20 years ago, was
recounted by Mr. Hendricks. He told
of the final passage of legislation
creating the system, and of the strug
gle it has had during the four years
of Its existence.
It' was discovered years ago, he
said, that the agricultural develop
ment of the United States was not
what it should have been.Investlga
tlon showed that farmers were unable
to produce as they might because of
financial embarrassment This furn
ished the foundation on which was
based the arguments for the federal
farm loans.
Joint Movement Opens
The federal land bank, a Joint af
filiation of the farm loan system, will
commence the appraisal of lands ln
Oregon within two or three weeks,
Mr. Hendricks said. This bank will
make loans to farmers of from 1 0,
000 upward. The nominal rate of in
terest charged makes this a boon to
Hie man struggling with undeveloped
farms, he said.
The functions of the federal farm
loan system, and the aid It is lending
farmers in the general agricultural
development of the nation was cited
in a speech by D. G. O'Shea, president
of the federal farm loan system, with
headquarters in Spokane. Mr. O'Shea
said that 80 percent of the homes ln
the United States are not owned by
the" persons residing in them, and if
he farm loan system can reduce this
figure it will have accomplished
muoh for -the future of the nation.
"Because," he declared, "A man
will wear his own collar rather than
the other fellows, and the man with
his own home will show It greater ac
cord than the foreigners who might
come Into the country to win his sup
port." Replying to Mr. O'Shea, William
M, Walton, cashier of the Ladd &
Bush bank, said that the stock land
banks, and jther federal farm loan
system can do much for a communi
ty, and he expressed the wish that
both branches of this service would
be solidly established in Salem.
Because of the unselfish, assistance
rendered by the government through
the farm loan system activity of the
state rural credits board have been
lossened, Thomas B. Kay, of the
Thomas B. Kay woolen millH, said.
The roadiness of the farmer to ac
cept the cheaper loan offered by the
government has kept the state loan
department's work within a half mil
lion dollars.
iircut Future Presaged
Mr. Kay predicted extensive devel
opment of land in Oregon, and a
much enlarged population through
the medium of assistance the farmer
can get in the federal farm loans.
The first step toward the estab
lishment of a .itock land bank branch
here was announced Wednesday ln
the appointment of C. A. Arpke, a
realty dealer, as appraiser. His ap
pointment was made by the federal
farm loan board.
The convention .continued through
out the afternoon.
