PAGE TWO MEDFOTtD MAIL TRTBUTTE. ifEDFORn. OREGON. THTTRSDAT. NOVEMBER 8. 1931 26 PER CENT OF U. S. SOFTWOOD IN Washington Has 19 Per Cent of Total Supply Says Forest Service South Lags in Lumber Yield PORTLAND, NOV. o (Spl.) gon contain! 2 per cent of the total remaining aoftwood timber supply of the United States and holds first plae In timber resources, according to facta developed by tht forest ser vice in connection with its study of sustained forest yield possibilities in the North Pacific region. Washington has 10 per cent of the total national supply of aoftwood timber, and California ranks third in softwood resources. Since 1904 Washington has held first place, ex cept In 1014. among the lumber pro ducing states, and In 1920, Us peak year, produced 7,646.000,000 ft. or one-fifth of the entire cut of the United States. Since 1919, except for the years 1921 and 1923, OreRon has ranked second In lumber production, 1U peak year being 1929 with a total cut Of 4,764,000,000 ft. Houth Lags. The south, which held undisputed supremacy in lumber production for approximately 30 years, fell behind the west In 1926 and now Is faced with greatly depleted resources. According to the 1920 census, the lumber and forest product Industry ranked fourth In the United Statee both In wages disbursed and In num ber of person employed. According to the same census, Washington had 80.807 persons employed In the forest Industries and Oregon had 62,171. It la pointed out, however, that this basic payroll of approximately 140. 000 workers also furnishes the source of support for dependent industries and occupations employing approxi mately an additional 210,000 persons. The forest service Is assembling these facta In connection with set ting up a practicable program ol sustained timber production for Ore gon and Washington. It Is pointed out that the eventual loss of the lumber Industry which parts ol Washington already are n?lng, may be prevented only by prompt public measures. These measures must pro vide for adequate fire prevention on logged -off land as well as timbered land and for putting back Into tim ber production approximately 7,000. 000 acres of cutover. burned and poorly reforested land. Seed Planned Program. Such measures also should Include a planned program of timber man agement by which all lands properly classified aa best suited for timber production would be laid out Into working circles, according to logical topographic units and marketing points. Within these working circles cutting would be regulated so as to limit production to the amount which could be grown on these areas. It Is pointed out by the forest ser vice that such a program will In volve a co-ordination of effort by all private, federal, and state forest land owners. Planned timber management will have a direct effect on the continuity of county revenues. II forest land Is kept productive and cutting la restricted to the amount that can be produced by growth, county tax revenue can be maintain ed Indefinitely Instead of running the ordinary course of constantly diminishing returns as the timber supply becomes exhausted. Under a sustained yield program It ia stated by the forest service that the forests of the Pacific north west should be capable of producing good structural timber Indefinitely on approximately the basis of recent normal years. Judging by the experi ence of other lumbering region", say forest officials, Oregon and Wash ington may expect a serious break down of local and county govern ment upon the exhaustion of the timber supply unless Immediate steps are taken to remedy the present system of exploitation without plan for the future.
