The request was In the form of a personal letter to feecre tf ry of Agriculture Orville Free man supporting an application Approved by the Soil Conserva tion Service, the Wheeler Coun ty Technical Action panel and the Soil and Water Conservation District. Assistance In the proj ect was provided by the Forest Service and the State Depart ment of Forestry. The emergency funds, In the amount of $21,000 which are being sought, will provide for grass reseeding of the fire dam awed area, with a companion $30,000 tree planting and seed ing effort being borne by the ID land owners In the area. Governor McCall stressed the need for the program to provide soil stabilization, prevent silta tion of streams and offer flood control In the fire ravaged area, and pointed to the substantial success such rehabilitation pro prams have had elsewhere in Oregon, particularly in the Schoolmarm fire area In Wasco county.
