HEAVY USE OF EASTERN OREGON'S
TIMBER AREAS SHOWN IN REPORT
C. 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. He stated that wheat grow
ers throught the nation looked to
Oregon and the Oregon Wheat
Growers League for leadership in
solving problems of the wheat
production industry. Growers in
the midwest and other wheat
growing states are following the
footsteps of Oregon in organizing
as a means of solving mutual
problems.

the Oregon Wheat Growers Lea
gue, reviewed with those present
recommendations made by this
group and acted upon by the Ore
gon Wheat Growers League at
tneir 1951 annual meeting. Re
commendations discussed a s
feasible for action will be pre
sented at the fall countv meet
ings for consideration for annual
meeting action.
Dick Baum, acting adminis
trator, Oregon Wheat Commis
sion, pointed out activities carried
on through the wheat growers
"sen neip" program financed by
a tax oi one-half cent per bushel
of wheat marketed. Activities of
the Wheat Commission, which
are many and varied, have re
sulted in expenditures of $174.-
247.41 in the period June 30, 1949
to February 29, 1952. Of this,
$52,726.14 spent on three pro
jects; basic statistics, freight
rates and wheat quality, has
brought in $184,691.21 from other
sources. This is more than Wheat
Commission has spent in the last
three years for all purposes, in
cluding salary and office in the
past three years.
