Tops for Eafs
Washington, March 21 (tP
Price Administrator Chester
Bowles said today that "we re
main the best fed nation of the
world." but he acknowledged
that civilian meat supplies will
be shorter this year.
Testifying before the senate
banking commiltee, Bowles as
serted that the American meat
institute, representing the ma
jority of packers, is attempting
to "capitalize" on War Mobili
zation Director James F.
Byrnes' statement on the meat
situation , "by using it as a nasi5;
for an attack on price control."
"Thanks to the extraordinary
efforts of our farmers, and in
spite of the tremendous food
needs of the direct war effort,"
he said, "we remain the best fed
nation of the world, wartime or
peacetime.
"Certainly civilian meat will
be shorter than at any time dur
ing the war but that arises from
the extraordinary needs of the
war effort. Moreover, and this
is the vital point, the shortage
would not be relieved in any
degree by higher returns to the
packers.
"OPA will not be stampeded
into giving price increases."

THIS MAP shows that over 73 per
cent of the land in the Douglas
fir region is growing trees. The timber
crop will follow the virgin forest as a
source of industry and pay-rolls.
The map shows we have:
25,800,000 acres of forcitcd ond foresr-growirtg
lond, out of a total of 35,100,000 acres.
14,500,000 acre, of saw timber, with an over
all stand of 490 billion feet. Two-thirds of
this acreage is natural old-growlh; the other
third is second-growth now over 16 inches in
diameter.
7,800,000 ocroi of qrowinq forest. Two-thirds
of this area has trees from 6 tn 16 inches
in diameter; the olher third has smaller
saplings and seedlings.
1,500,000 ocrci recently eut-ovor. 150,000 to
200,000 acres are logged every year and
three-fourths of these harvested areas reseed
naturally and promptly.
2,200,000 acres of Burns ond Other lands not
yet restocked. Beside the State and Federal
Nurseries, an industry nursery is producing
five or six million seedlings every year for
replanting this land.
Over 2,000,000 acres of Treo Farms. Fifty-ona
ownerst farmers and timber companies, are
et up in the permanent business of growing
trees.
47 per cent of this great forest resource, In
acres, is owned by the county, State and Fed
eral governments; 53 per cent by farmers and
industrialists.
The cooperation of these public and private
owners in forest management and protection
is one of our real assets as a timber growing
region. So is the support of its people in con
trolling forest fires through such activities
as Keep Oregon Green and Keep Washington
Green. As more forest growth is assured, new
forest industries come in for further process
ing or use of waste; and bring new pay-rolls
with them.
Here is one of the great post-war oppor
tunities for the Pacific Northwest.
