Packwood Urges Continuing Soil, Water Projects "Soil and water conservation offer one of America's greatest opportunities for investment for future generations, senator bod Packwood said today. Packwood made the comment In appealing to the Senate Sub committee on Agriculture and Related Agencies. Again praising the Nixon Ad ministration's decision to re sume planning of watershed protects, Packwood added: "There is a great need to ac celerate the cooperative soil sur vey program to provide a sound soil inventory for planning and conducting and water con servation programs, and to pro vide information for planning urban and other non-agriculture soil uses. 53 Applications Made "Somee 53 applications have been received by the Soil Con servation Service in Oregon. On ly 12 watershed work plans have been completed, with wa tershed planning funds availa ble to the Soil Conservation Ser vice for fiscal year 1969 having been reduced. "Federal expenditure econo mizing has critically cut the watershed operation funds of the Soil Conservation service, resulting in no new construction contracts being awarded this fiscal year to Oregon. There is' approximately $10 million or construction planned for Instal lation In Oregon during the next three years. "At the same time we are experiencing more rather than less demand for means to con quer the problems of testing, de velopment and culture in the critical erosion areas and dif ficult sites. Oregon's Need Great "Oreeon is In desperate need of a higher level of financial support for Plant Materials Cen ters, soil surveys on our prized forest land, watershed planning activities and investigations, and watershed construction ac tivities. "The conservation operation funds for assistance to soil and water conservation districts must be substantially increased, if the problems of resource con servation and development in the areas of private recreation al developments, silt pollution from eroding land, silt deposit ion in streams, lakes and tidal estuaries are to be met. "We simply cannot by-pass this by sticking with the pres ent needs and demands. Amer ica has always been a country with a future, built upon the principles of wisdom and econ omy, cherishing and conserving those treasures that are the very foundation upon which we stand." Ullman Testimony Calls for Forest Policy Changes Congressman Al Ullman has called for a "bold new ap proach" to the problems of na tional forest management and for financing improved rorestry techniaues. In testimony before the House Banking and Currency commit tee, Ullman said that tne lea eral Dortion of timber sale re ceipts should be reinvested in programs to stimulate greater nroduction of timber. The Com mittee is conducting public hearings into the problem of high lumber prices and timber supply shortages, unman toia them the present critical short age of timber and the resulting wide fluctuation in prices could be avoided in the future with out leonardizing sustained yield management. He said present policies are "outmoded' and "obsolete." In addition to more intensive management, he called for the adoption of a triggering devise whereby the availability of tim ber would be increased by the Forest Service when lumber price increases exceed increases in the national price index of manufactured goods. Tighter log export restrictions and possible amendment oi tne Jones Act limiting intercoastal shipping to U. S. registered ves sels were also cited by Ullman as a part of the solution to the domestic log shortage. Ullman said he would oppose any change that threatened the policy of sustained yield, but that there are "more sensible means to achieve that goal than those we are now using." He said the even-flow concept now practiced by the Forest Service has made us "custodians of a static resource." "We can no longer afford such a lazy ap proach," he said. The Committee was told that the problem was not a physical or a conservation problem, but that "inertia" presents us from adopting a more realistic pro gram of reforestation, thinning and salvage sales, and other valuable practices. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Albert re turned last Friday from spend ing several months during the riast winter in Mesa and Apache Junction. Ariz., where they had been since mid-December. Kn- route to their winter home, the couple traveled through Califor nia, and also enjoyed sightsee ing for a short time m iNogaies, Mexico, and in the state of Nev ada prior to their return home.

This Is used for electrical gen eration and large plants are built for this purpose. Drilling goes down about 300 feet to tap the steam, which comes up at 100 lb. or more pressure.

Smith said the legislature ap proved a measure asking that the proposed increases in fees be reconsidered. Copies of the measure were sent to members of Oregon's Congressional dele gation. Smith, who represents Harney and Malheur counties, said that the fee Increase, if implement ed, would amount to "cut off your nose to spite your face" economic policies.
