FOREST MANAGING URGED TO INSURE SUSTAINED YIELD Improved Policy Must Be Adopted at Once Says Re port of Advisory Com mittee of Planning Board If Oregon 'a forest industries, which now support about 80 percent of the people of the state, are to be con tlnued on the present basis, a policy of Improved forest management, which will lnclMle scientific sustain ed yield, must be adopted at once, it la declared In a report, "Oregon's Forest Problems," prepared by the advisory committee on forestry of the Oregon state planning board, and JuM released by Governor Martin. The report, which was written un der the direction of the committee headed by C. J. Buck, regional for ester and vice-chairman of the plan ning board, goes deeply Into all phases of difficulties faced by the lumber Industry. It points out first of al! that the annual growth In recent years In Oregon forests has been not more than SO percent of the annual cut, but optimistically declares that with proper forest management, this rate of growth can be Increased three Zold. Owners Under Pressure. The Intense pleasure put on pit rate timber owners to liquidate their holdings must be alleviated, the re port declares, and at the same time means must be found to encourage sustained yield methods of operation Three means are suggested as an aid to such a program the first a sys tem of long-term oredlt at low inter est rates so that Immediate liquids tlon will not be necessary; second adjustment of methods of taxation that will make It possible for owners to hold timber and at the same time will encourage sustained yield, and third, a more equitable balance be tween private owners and the public. This latter could be accomplished by public acquisition of cutover land, second growth, and mature timber, with both the atate and federal gov ernment participating In the pro gram. Some Importance of the lumber In dustry to Oregon can be noted from figures showing that In 1030 It em ployed 63,000 persona, or 33.5 percent of Oregon workers, and was exceeded only by agriculture, which employs 85,000 or 62.7 percent. In cash In come It exceeded farm products, with l 01, -700,000 for the yesr um to H'iO, 300,000 for agriculture. It wss also estimated that an additional "Jfl.OOO persons were employed In service In dustries, thus making when family dependents are added, a total of 200,- 000 persons depending upon foreata for support. More Jobs Pnsslhle. "Under a well-devlsed system of foreet management and sustained yield operations, the number of per sons supported by the lumber in dustry could be raised to S00.OO0," the report declares. This would be of great benefit to the state, since fig ures show thst In 1030 the payroll of the wood products Industry wss more than 176,000.000 or 04 percent of the total payrolls of all manufac turln Industry In the state. Othet specif lo recommendations made In the report Include: "The procedure governing the sale of timber from the national foreets should be revised to make possible cooperative agreements for the sus tained yield management of public and private land. "There should be more adequate federal and state appropriations to aid In the fire protection of private timber. "The management of revested grant lands should be brought into har mony with recent marginal land use policy and with the policy which gov erns the disposal of timber from na tional forests.

"Enabling legislation Is needed to permit the state to take advantage of the Fulser act which would give financial aid to the state In acquir ing state forests." Oregon haa about 301 billion board feet which can bo considered as eco nomically available for operating un der the lumber market conditions which prevailed from 102S to 1030. the report reveals. In addition, 142 billion board feet might be cut If economic conditions are somewhat better than during the period Just mentioned. The remaining 64 bil lion board feet are either low In qual ity or Inaccessible. Out of the tout timber stand of the state, about 300 billion board feet Is In the Douglas fir region, with 130 billion bonrd feet or 40 percent available. The remain ing 07 billion board fret are In the pine region, with 63 billion board feet or 04 percent available. Join ETHEL WYN B HOFFMANN'S Hosiery Olub. Ivery 13th pslr free, Vacation Special?

Weatherford, pnstor evangelist, used as his topic "The Scarecrow In Re ligion, or Causes for Losses." His message in part follows: "The fact that the great stream of humanity Is outside the bounds of Christianity raises the stimulating In quiry aa to who and where the scare crow Is thnt keeps folks out? "I think I can answer this question In a few words. Conditions have been much the same for the past half century as when Christ appeared on the scene. At that time He predict ed, and It came to pass, that the elders, the priests and scribe would not accept his spiritual program. The program has been mun-centered instead of God-centered. Msn has snld much about building the king dom, but God said 'II la the Father's good pi ensure to give you the king dom,' so in reality the kingdom Is God-given, and not man-built. "The church Is to blame for the bnrrcn spiritual waste of humanity. It hna had an Insufficient God-borne message given from lips coaled by In finite flame.

As fine a beer as has ever been produced in the history of the brewing industry; truly worthy of the best Old Bohemian brewing traditions which decree that no other grain than choice barley can be used to brew quality beer. Years of effort were required to perfect this beer. It was even necessary to import Morav ian barley seed to be grown on Northwest farms to insure an adequate supply of premium bar ley. For months it has remained undisturbed in huge ageing vats. It is ready for you now... a beer lagered to perfect mellowness, smooth to taste yet delightfully effervescent and tangy. an CTlEitu co., distributors BREAKING UP OF Sale by State of Portion of Former Transient Camp at Savage to Be Op posed by County Petition With the close of the first annual county Homemakers' camp at Camp Savage near Rogue River.
