All yearly records pertaining to
thu cut of timber from tlio 147 Na
tional Forests wore broken during
tho calendar year of 193.1. Thin
Is tho Btatemnnt In tho Chief For
ester's annual roport, copies of which
havo Just been received by District
Forustor C. M. Oranger lit Portland..
During thin period tho cut for tho
first time liUlio hlntory of tho Forost
Service exceeded a billion board feet.
TIiIh amount exceeded tho cut In
1022 by 20 per cent and bad n 2:i
per cent greater vnltto, tho report
nays. In speaking of the fiscal)
year ending June 20, 102 1, tho ro
port ntato.-i that both cut and re
ceipts surpassed tho calondar year
of 102.'!.
Sales of National Forest timber
during tho calondar year of 102.1 al
so oxcoedod all records with a total
of over three billion board feet which
had a contract, value of moro than
$0,000,000. Compared with thu cal
endar year 1022 this Is an Increase
of GK pur cent In amount nud 70
per rout In contract value.
In commenting on tho Forester's
roport, Mr. Oranger brought out thu
fact that although the out of Nation
al Font timber In Oregon and
Washington was the heaviest ever
made, that this cut represented less
than fi jier cent of thu total cut for
theso two States.
"It should be remembered Hint
tho basic reason for the National
Forests Is tho growing of timber un
der scientific forestry methods. For
estry In simply thu scientific grow
ing of timber crops, and meauii tho
putting of the forest resources to
use under such methods that will
tnsuru continuous timber production,

Inconvenient for nil concerned In
