STEADY MARKET FOi: FOREST PRODUCTS URGED BY EXPERT FORESTER “Federal and state forestry of ficials must realize that the best incentive for constructive forest ry in Oregon is a steady market for forest products” said N. E. Bjorklund, forester for the In- dutriai Forestry Assin. The Port land forester presented a state- mcnt to the "Small Forest Own- ership Conference called by the federal and state govenrnments. Bjorklund said subsidies for private forestry are wholly un- necssary and cited the progress made under the Association’s Tree Farm program in toe last 17 years as proof. He said that more of a third of all privately owned forest land in Western Oregon is now in certified tree farms. He predicted tree farms would include two thirds of the private forests in the next 10 years if progress continues at its present rate. Bjorklund said government statistics which "accuse” the small forest owner of being a major forestry problem in Oregon ignore the facts as to who owns Oregon’s forests. He said the federal government controls 58 percent of the State's forests; lo cal government, principally the state, 4 per cent. Forest Indus try owns 1 percent, fanners 13 percent and other non-industrial owners 6 percent. Tue industrial forester said Or- egon’s No. 1 forestry problem be- cause five-eighths of the State’s forests are owned by government, is getting them under manage ment thru better accessibility, up to date inventories and full an nual harvest of their allowable cuts. Bjorklund said a lot of forest land close to Portland would bo converted in the next 25 years to use for homes, light industries and service facilities as govern- ment estimates show Oregon's population increasing by nearly two-fifths by 1970 Bjorklund was optimistic con- cerning the future of forestry in Oregon, as forest land ownership fa) As soon as lame sheep are stabilizes, but warned that unwise taxation could be a road block to noted in the flock, they should be very carefully seperated from the private forestry progress. unaffected.

A slow, careful, and very thorough job is essen- tial. Speed is not the criterion of a good job. If your foot- trimming crew brags about how many animals they trimmed In one day, you can be sure the job was not done correctly. “The reason for care is ap parent to anyone yho has done this chore. The man who is try ing to get the job done in a hur ry does one or two things. Either he does not trim the foot suffic iently to expose all the diseased and under-run tissue, or he does to the task too fast and radically, causing bleeding which immed iately obsurces his field so that he cannot do a proper job. The bleeding itself is not dangerous as far as the health of the animal is concerned. I do not believe that there is any recorded case of a sheep bleeding to death from a foot trimming wound. However, it does obscure the THE CLACKAMAS COUNTY NEWS Page 2 Estacada, Oregon, Friday, Nov. 14, 1958 field of operation and makes a thorough job impossible.

In such a sit-1 uation it is wise to mak this ani mal for further trimming later I that day or the following day. “The reason for emphasizing I careful trimming of all under-1 run diseased horn is that the | bacteria causing foot rot are not j difficult to kill with most of the medicines and disinfectants I available for this purpose pro- j viding the drug can come in con-, tact with the organism.

The wet, necrotic, smelly portion th at1 is seen before you get to this I junstion of healthy and diseased tissue is the-Tesult of secondary j bacterial infection. “After trimming, the diseased feet should be treated individual-, ly or the animals put through a foot bath. These animals are kept separate and treated daily for three or four days or until a large percentage seem on the road to recovery. At this time, all of the affected band should again be tipped up and their feet very carefully examined. Some of these animals will need further trimming to expose additional under-run horn. Animals that have quit limping and whose feet on examination seem dry and healthy, may then be turned out with the clean band. Those retaining any lameness or show ing any degree of wetness or softness in the affected portion of the foot should be held back for further treatment.” The third section of this ser ies on foot rot will deal with drugs used for foot rot treatment and the findings of researchers in Australia regarding control and eradication of foot rot.

The figure, based on reports of gasoline sales and the number of people killed, shows an im-1 provement over the 7.2 death rate for September last year. Four other months with improv ed death rates this year are Feb ruary, March, May and June. Four months —January, April, | July and August — recorded 1 lightly higher death rates than j for the same periods last year. Lowest death rate recorded so far this year was May when 3.6 person died in each 100 million miles traveled. The department said gasoline sales reports indicate that in ex- j cess of 668,000,000 miles were tra- J veled on Oregon streets and high- j ways during September. This j compares to 625,000,000 miles tra veled in September a year ago. ^ ~ V e rsabord is another quality Silvatek product.

It resulted from Weyerhaeuser developments in refining an existing particle board process and adapting it to Oregon and Washington tree species. This relatively new Weyerhaeuser product required construction of a plant at Coos Bay, Oregon and employment of a number of local people. Weyerhaeuser scientists, technicians and market specialists constantly search for new and useful products to manufacture. As such products are introduced, they also will bring about more employment and addition of new plant facilities. The resulting payrolls and capital expenditures boost local business volume and lend support to local government through taxes...adding stability to our regional economy.
