Phil Kline, Timber Staff Offic er in the Forest Supervisor's Office in Pendleton. Current firewood charge permits ex pire April 30. Primary locations to pur chase 1984 summer firewood permits for lands with the Umatilla National Forest are District Ranger Stations in Heppner, Ukiah and Dale in Oregon, and Walla Walla and Pomeroy in Washington. Heppner District will delay issuing permits until May 21 due to packed snow and soft, wet roads in firewood access areas. The office will be open on Saturdays from 7:30 a.m. until 11 : 30 a m . beginning July 7. The Dale District, an all free-use area, will have per mits available for self-issue beginning June 1.

Some interesting informa tion from the Oregon Cattle men's Association states that after a very long and difficult trade negotiation with Japan, a four-year agreement was reached whereby Japan will increase U.S. quality beef imports 6,900 metric tons each year for the next four years. The new agreement will bring the U.S. beef sales to Japan to $800 million over the next four years. The total tonnage is equivalent to more than 370,000 head of beed cattle. Did you know that United States agriculture is the world's largest commercial industry, with current assets exceeding i trillion, says U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The agricultural industry includes farming, transporting, processing, manufacturing, and retailing food and fiber products. open to youth Strawberry Mountains in Logan Valley, Grant County, provides a perfect setting for the Range Camp, allowing campers to learn first hands on investigations campers will also visit local ranches to observe range production practices, participate in discussion on wild horses and eastern Oregon history. Even ings around the campfire, plus meeting individuals from all around the state help round out the camping experience. Camp sponsors are now seeking girls and boys who would be interested in attend ing Oregon Range Camp. Interested youth should con tact the Morrow County Es tension Office, 67642, to receive application forms. Local businesses and organi zations will help provide par tial scholarships for interested campers. Camp participants will find Oregon Range Camp a high light of their summer activi ties. hold to a maximum of ten cords of wood at $2.50 per cord. A minimum of four cords ($10) must be purchas ed. Firewood users will be furnished maps of firewood areas where cutting is permit ted at the time of purchase of permits. They will also re ceive color-coded load tickets to be used at the time wood is cut. The ticket is validated by punching out the date of the cut, and is then attached to the wood where it is v isible as the wood is removed from Na tional Forest land. Purpose of the load tickets is to allow a better monitoring of wood removal, according to Kline, who estimates that the Umatilla National Forest col lected over $72,000 last year for firewood permits. One fourth of this amount, or $18,000, was returned to coun ty governments for roads and schools. Money collected for fire-j wood is used to pay for maps, signing and administration of the wood cutting program, and to make additional wood available in areas where there is now no access.
