IT has been announced by W. H.
Horning, chief forester of the
(iregon and California Revested
Landa lulminiwt ration, that income
from the revested Oregon and Cal
ifornia railroad grant lands and
the reconveyed Coos Hay wagon
grant lands has greatly Increased
during the past year.
The 18 land grant counties in
western ami southern Oregon re
ceived $510,608 In 1939 as a return
in lieu of taxes from thru»«« feder
ally owned properties. The volume
of timber sold during the fiscal
year ending July 1, 1940 win (J00,-
(XX),ooo board feat, which fur ex
ceeded that for previous years
Tills Umber was valued at $1,376,-
(XX) it Is therefore probable that
the counties during the calendar
year 1940 will obtain upwards of
$6(X).(XX), witch will la? an increase
of $100,000 over the returns of
1939 This means an expected re
turn to the counties averaging 26
cents for each acre revested or
reconveyed land in comparison t<.
u return of 20 cents per acre in
1939
Jackson County Guins
To many of Oregon's land grant
counties this return from the O
and C lands represents a large
proportion of annual revenue« re-
ccived from all sources In one
county in particular, from 15 to
20 percent of all county funds are
derived from timber sales of the
Qregon and (California Revested
lands.
Jackson county received
$83,318 77 as Its share of the reve
nues from the O and C lands in
1939 and will receive substantially
more this year.
The lands from which this reve
nue is secured are being adminis-
!• !•<! by an organization of train
ed foresters under a plan of man
agement and protection which will
Insure a continuous supply of Um
ber for the operation of more than
100 sawmills and other industries
whose employers arc engaged in
manufacturing lumber and a great
variety of other products.
Timber is being utilized accord
ing to a plan which permits the
continuous annual cutting of 500.-
000, 000 board feet Seventy-five
j>ercent of ail income from the
cutting of this volume of timber is
distributed by definite jjercentage
schedule among all of the land
grant counties regardless of the
l<M-atlon of logging areas. With
thia rate of cutting, the present

stand of mature timber will last
for 100 years, at the end of which
time the areas where timber Is
now being cut will again have on
them a crop of mature timber rea
dy for cutting This plan of man-
agernent makes it certain that
there will always be productive
forests kept growing on these
federal lands.
Avoid Tas Delinquency
Timber lands after they have
been logged frequently become tax
delinquent because they can pro
duce no more saw logs for a long
periixl of years and consequently
are considered valueless After be
coming tax delinquent they no
longer help to support the count
ies but become a burden to the
remaining tax payers. The feder
ally owned O and C lands do not
share this fate Each acre of them
continues without interruption to
yield its annual revenue and will
not become tax delinquent.
Recent cut-over areas of O and
C timber, even where over-ripe
conditions may have required
clear-cutting, arc accredited with
the continuous production of reve
nue This is made possible tiecausc
ruch areas are promptly restocked
with young trees either by plant
ing or otherwise The growth of
this young timber accumulates,
while old timber is being used up,
and eventually becomes ripe for
the axe This new growth on cut-
over areas is counted on to per
petuate the allowable annual cut
of 500,000,(XX) feet of timber,
which can be cut regularly as the
total yield of the entire acreage
While recent cut-over areas of O
ind C land may temporarily have
no saw timber on them> generally
speaking they are actually more
productive than areas covered
with over-mature saw timber.
Young trees of sapling and pole
dze, while of no Immediate mar
ket value, produce more actual net
;iowth of wood for future use
than do stagnant stands of over-
rtpe timber In this respect they
might be compared to a crop of
{rain. During the spring months
the farm crop la putting on rapid
growth. It commands little value
at that time because it is not
usable on the farm. Later in the
season, growth has ceased but the
value which has accumulated be-
cause of months of growth is then
available
The plan In effect on the fed
erally owned revested or recon
veyed grant lands keeps them eco
nomically productive and guaran
tees to the counties that these
lands will continue to produce a
large revenue tn lieu of taxes.

Irrigation will help many Ore-
gon fai mers to "cash in" on mar-
krt opportunities afforded by Eu-
opcan wiir conditions, according
to a summary of future market
prospects given by William A
Schoenfeld, dean and director of
agriculture at Oregon State col
lege, during the 11th annual west
ern Oregon irrigation tour held
on the ex|M-riment station farms.
In some parts of the state and
for some products increased acre
ages of certain crops will be possi
ble, Hithough In others higher pro
duction will depend upon increas
ing the yields of present acreages
either by additional moisture or
other means, he said
War conditions have reduced or
entirely eliminated the importa
tion of many of the seeds and oth
er specialty crops for which Ore
gon is ideally adapted. Dean
Schoenfeld pointed out He men
tioned specifically the various
grass and clover seeds, field pea
and vetch seed, both fiber flax and
seed flax, sugar beet seed, flower
bulbs, hops, filberts, and even less
common products such as poppy
and mustard seed, pyrethrum,
peppermint oil and certain foreign
types of cheese.
Hy stressing the production of
these crops In the Immediate fu-
ture, I>ean Schoenfeld said, it will
be possible for Oregon farmers to
compensate somewhat for the lost
markets for staple crops caused
by this same war At the same
time Oregon farmers will thus be
able to supply other farmers of
tlM United States with essential
seed no longer obtainable in usual
quantities abroad.
"Preparedness involves much
more than merely military defens
es." he added, "and this is an im
portant step In providing America
with essential agricultural pro
ducts.”
Adaptation of crop systems to
make full use of irrigation was
explained by a number of spec lai -
