Forestry related assistance is provided by the Department to private landowners in the three broad areas, namely woodland assistance, forest practice and forest rescue studies. Woodland assistance consists of advising small woodland owners in the management of their forests. Oregon has approximately 36.000 landowners who own 5,000 acres of forest or less. These owners are given advice and suggestions on reforestation, timber stand improvement, forest protection, marketing and other forest related information. In the forest practice, the Department is dealing with practices used to harvest and manipulate the forest stand. An increasing corcern for the future wood supply in Oregon comes under the Forest Resource studies. This study has led the Department into a long range study. Through cooperative work with public forest agencies, private land owners and Oregon State Universities, data is presently being collected on the future supply and demand of wood fibre. - Forest Practice Act. Since 1972 the Department has administered the Oregon Practice Act. The Act regulates forest activities on all public and private land to assure environmental protection while allowing economic develop ment, -Forest Nursery.

We found that we failed to express our feelings of appreciation to others, too many times when they deser ved recognition. After having taken the first step, we decided not to let this happen again, and to try and correct the situation. Therefore, may I openly . expreat my thanks to Jill who have extended courtesies and good wishes, plus the most welcome help. My family and I deeply appreciate these fine deeds We feel we have chosen wisely in selecting this area for our new home, and we hope to contribute of ourselves in an effort to make this community a fine place to live We are looking fwv.jrd to many years of good experi ences and pleasant associa tions within the area.

Assessor's office has new booklet Everett Harshman, Morrow County Assessor, says a new booklet, now available In his office, should help the public understand his responsibili ties. Harshman says the 12 page booklet summarizes the prin cipal duties of the assessor as prescribed by law and how these duties fit into the picture of local property taxation In Oregon. The most important of these duties is estimating the market value of all taxable property and calculating the taxes to be paid by each property owner. "This publication will clear up some misunderstandings about my Job, " said Harsh man "and I encourage people to either pick one up when they art in the area or to write my office for copy." 2.800 trees per acre, the Department thinned the stagnate area to 250 trees per acre. Later the same area was thinned to 125 trees per acre, and finally to 62 trees per acre. The Department determined that the spacing of the trees at 18 7 feet apart or 125 trees per acre provided the best natural forage with the proper spacing Thinning allows moisture to reach the ground in stagnate areas and allows the trees and the grass to grow, providing forage for wildlife. A landowner can do the work himself on a cost sharing basis and receive 75 per cent of his costs.
