Survey of National Forest in Oregc.
Shows Deer and Other bame Plentiful
Game life in the national forests
of Oregon is plentiful, as figures
recently released by the National
Forest service indicate. A compre
hensive survey shows that upwards
of 200,000 animals of the wild He
type roam the areas controlled by
the forest service and this figure
probably would be increased to some
extent through a count of the ani
mals in the forest areas controlled
by state and private ownership.
The forest service count reveals
1550 antelope, 5370 black bear, 35,
850 blacktail deer, 117,260 mule deer,
100 white tail deer, 21,000 elk and
30 mountain sheep, or a total of
196,130 animals.
Game animals killed during the
1939 hunting season totalled 23,130,
recorded as follows: Blacktail deer,
2030; mule deer, 19,280; elk, 1070,
and black bear, 700.
The special hunt in Murderers
creek area of the Malheur forest
showed a total of 10,896 animals
killed, induing 3,563 bucks, 6,
397 does and fawns. Estimated num
ber of deer in that area was 40,000
and hunters ranging the district last
fall numbered 15,646. This was a
heavily over-populated area. When
winter feed was inadequate to sup
ply the demand, loss from starva
tion took a heavy toll each year.
Figures submitted by the forest
service relative to elk slaying for
the last five years show that hunt
ers in 1939 displayed better marks
manship than in previous years. In
1935, 2761 hunters killed 692 elk
for a success ratio of one to four;
1936 the figures were 2946 hunters,

hunters, 634 elk, ratio 1 to 4.68;

tributed to the fact that cow elk li
censes were sold. Of the 1211 ani

cows.
Wheat Loans Now
Being Redeemed
Oregon farmers who took out fed
eral crop loans on their 1939 wheat
harvest gradually are placing their
grain back on the market, and to
date have liquidated about two
thirds of their loans, according to
Edgar L. Ludwick of Corvallis, su
pervisor of the loan program for
Pacific northwest states.
Loans were made to Oregon grow
ers on 5,650,000 bushels of wheat. To
date, approximately 3,500,000 bush
els have been liquidated, Ludwick
said.
He also stated that Washington
and northern Idaho have a similar
percentage of loan wheat released,
with southern Idaho, Utah and Cal
ifornia showing favorably.
The loan program has been of
material assistance, Ludwick said,
for growers have been able to sell
their liquidated weight at an average
price of about ten cents above loan
value. Without the loan, many of
them would havp been forced to sell
their wheat at harvest time, taking
the lower price then prevailing, he
said.
Orderly marketing of loan wheat
has kept markets from becoming
depressed, Ludwick observed. He
expects farmers to continue mar
keting their loan wheat throughout
the next few weeks, since all 1939
loans mature on April 30.
Growers whose loan wheat is stor
ed on their farms under seal may
renew the loans and have their bins
resealed. There are about 2V2 mil
lion bushels of farm stored wheat
in the Pacific northwest states, Lud
wick said.
