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.
"The state should taks steps to re
lieve the counties of an Increasing
arret of cut-over and burned-over

through tax foreclosures. Most of
these lands could be blocked Into
state forests.
Must Fight I meets.
Increased state and federal ap
proprlatlons are urgently needed to
aid In control of certain tree- de
stroying Insects.
"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.

CHURCH BLAMED FOR
DEARTH OF MESSAGE
FOR KINDLING FAITH
Speaking Sunday from the Church
or the Nnzarcne pulpit, Fred M.
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. No vision to kindle
faith In a sin-torn soul. No cross
thai: speaks rorslveneas to the broken
hearted. Consequently the world to-

The above chart maps graph-
Ically depict two phases of th
foreit situation In Oregon, aa d
cribed In a report to the atate
planning board. The upper map
ahows the economical availability
of atanding timber In the state.
Timber operable under normal con.
dltlona Is Indicated by the heavy
diagonal bar lines; timber which
may become operable under more
favorable conditions Is shown by
perpindlcular lines; and timber
that la of low quality or Inacces
sible Is Indicated by horlzontsl
lines. The dotted areaa are cut
over or burned and those not
marked are non-forest areas. The
peculiar nature of the problem of
the reveeted O. AC. lands may be
noted from the lower map. The
black areas represent the totsl
acreage and approximate location,
although It waa necessary to gen
eralize the actual checkerboard
pattern In order to avoid the Im
pression of a mere dotted area.
dsy Is reaching out, but not up. The
businessmen of commerce present a
consuming absorption In their out
reach. Their Interest Is horizontal,
rather than vertical concerned with
things to the near exclusion of God.
"The mad rush of modern civilisa
tion has largely forgotten that the
thing which Jesus lived and died la
tne very axis upon which human
destiny turns.
"I believe the most hopeful sign
on the religious horizon of our day
is the undoubtful fact that there la a
strong agitation and movement In
Christendom toward the recovery of
a spiritual Ood-glven salvation from
sin."
J. S. Chernoff. assistant treasure-
to Sgobel & Day, spent Friday and
Saturday In Medford, during which
time he and P. Knudsen, the local
representative, visited several pear
growers of the vicinity.
Mr. Chernoff, whose headquarters
are In Sacramento, commenting on
the pear outlook, voiced the opinion
that prospects for sales look very
bright at the present time.
Peter Knudsen, Jr., drove up with
Mr. Chernoff and is staying in Med
ford with his father. Mrs. Knudsen
and daughter Jane are expected to
arrive here from Sacramento late this
week, and the family will reside at

S e r d e
The "good, old beer" we have always heard
about .... ALL MALT beer, brewed exclus
ively from flavorful malted barley! 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.
