permits needed May 1
The first day of May marks
the start of the new firewood
cutting season on the Umatilla
National Forest, reminds J.
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

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. Free-use f
permits for cutting areas on
the Dale District also will be
available from the Ukiah
District Office. Ukiah will not

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.
This industry employs more
than 23 million people, which
is 22 percent of the total U.S.
labor force. The agricultural
industry includes farming,
transporting, processing,
manufacturing, and retailing
food and fiber products.

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.
