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

population increasing by nearly
two-fifths by 1970

SEPTEMBER DEATH
RATE IMPROVES
Five point five persons were
killed in each 100 million m iles;
j of travel in Oregon during Sept- j
efber, the Oregon Department oi
Motor Vehicles reported today.
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.

Pro press in the forest industry has a definite effect on the

Introduction of Silvatek Versabord is a good example. 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.
