M. Rector, supervisor of the Umatilla national forest, this week made public Information on the forest service's activities In the national forest area during the past year. The report, among other things, points out the heavy use of Eastern Oregon's forest areas by residents and tourists. It is estimated 131,000 persons visited the forest last year. Of this number 20,000were hunters, 6,000 were fishermen, 25,000 were winter sports visitors and the bal ance was made up of campers, picnickers, etc. 7,758 cattle and 26,677 sheep were grazed on National Forest land under paid permit Another 1,081 cattle and 3,850 sheep were issued free permits in exchange for the use of private unfenced land inside the National Forest. 1951 saw the conclusion of several years' effort in making detailed field Inventories of the range resources and preparing management plans for the graz ing allotments. Following a practice which has been in effect for several years 464 acres of landings and skid roads on National Forest timber sales were reseeded to grass. This prevents erosion on torn up soils, prevents encroachment of unde sirable plants and furnishes ad ditional forage for livestock and game. In addition, 300 acres of barren ridgetops were cultivated to eliminate weed competition and will be seeded to grass this spring. Other range improve ments in the forest consisted of 10 water developments, 2 stock driftways and mile of stock fence. The radio communication net was extended by the installation of a short wave FM radio at the Dale Ranger Station. This sta tion has formerly been isolated during the winter months 'when the forest telephone line from Dale to Ukiah was under snow. During the past season 40 fires occured in the forest. Of these 27 were caused by lightning and 13 by man. The largest fire burned 880 acres in the rough and inaccessible Bear Canyon country 15 miles southwest of Troy. Airplanes played an im portant part in suppressing this fire. One fire camp was com pletely supplied with food, tools and water by dropping from an airplane. When the fire was out equipment was brought out by floating it down the Grande Ron de River on rubber rafts. Maintenance work was com pleted on 1060 miles of forest road and 731 mile of trails. Two hundred informational and di rectional signs were posted on forest roads and trails. Reconnaissance was completed on 23 miles of timber access roads and six miles of final location work was done. A new summer home tract south of Pomeroy known as the Little Turkey Creek summer home area consisting of seven lots was opened and offered to the public. Five land exchange cases were consummated during 1951 with the Forest Service acquiring 967 acres of land assessed at low valuations primarily valuable for watershed and grazing. Approximately 133 acres of selected immature stands of pon. derosa pine were pruned to in crease the quality of the future timber crop. 28,000,000 board feet of Nation al Forest timber and 1600 Christ mas trees were cut during the year. 90 acres of the Wall Creek burn were planted with 30,000 ponderosa pine seedlings. 116,000 acres of forest land west of Dayton was sprayed for spruce budworm in 1951 with a kill of budworms of approximate ly 99.1, Wheat Growers Told Oregon Leads Nation In Leadership Monow County wheatgrowers meeting Tuesday evening, heard Jens Terjesen, Pendleton farmer, recently elected president of the National Association of Wheat Growers, discuss relationships of this National Association with the Oregon Wheat Growers Lea gue.
