By S. T. MOORE Forester. U.S. Forest Service This is the story of forestry on the 414,000 acres of National Forest land in Jackson county. Most of this publicly-owned land is within the Rogue River Na tional Forest, created by presi dential proclamation in 1893. Original instructions to the public foresters who adminis tered the area charged them with the responsibility to man age the forest resources for the over-all benefit of the whole people, not for temporary bene fit of any one section or inter est. This has been the guiding policy during the 50 year's stewardship of the U. S. Forest Service. Importance Told Today, the Rogue River Na tional Forest takes its place as an important part of the econ omy of Jackson county. During 1954, some 119.000,- 000 board feet of National For est timber within Jackson coun ty was harvested under planned forest management practices, The timber was mature and, like any other ripe crop, was ready for harvest. Delay in harvest often means deterioration of a valuable national ' resource. Most of this timber was proc essed in the wood utilization plants of the county. It helped to furnish jobs ' for local people, raw material for industry, and income for many businesses. Plant New Crops Cutover areas are promptly reforested to start another crop of trees. The successive crops of timber can be expected to con tinue so long as goo forest management and practices are observed. Other products of the Na tional Forest are assuming im portance equal to timber. Fore most among these is water Water is a public property and is essential to the economy and life in Jackson county. Virtually all of the Rogue River National Forest is tribu tary watershed of Rogue River, Proper watershed management to sustain a flow of pure, usable water is of vital importance to all irrigation, hydro-power, and domestic use in the county. Water is of such prime import ance its production and protec tion is given top priority in the management of all National For est land. Kisieiise Disturbance In recognition of the value of the Forests for watershed, timber harvesting methods are modified to minimize disturb ance of the waterholding ca pacity of the soils. Clear-cutting of the forest is confined to small patches, fyith intervening blocks of timber held uncut. Road con struction standards are aimed at proper drainage and grade to eliminate soil erosion and stream siltation. Cut-over land b reforested promptly both for timber production , and for watershed protection. Recreation is a rapidly ex panding use of the National Forest. The mountain forests, lakes and streams attract addi tional thousands each year. Op portunities are abundant for fishing, hunting, picnicking, and camping, Forest recreation is available to all and the fewest possible restrictions are placed on use and travel. In addition to personal enjoyment for many people, recreational use has be come a major industry in the county.

Shown above is a forest serv ice crew planting trees in a burned over area not far from . Union creek last fall. Many methods are used, but in this case seedlings are being planted by hand. . ' Four Mile Lake Up To 10,394 Level Four Mile lake is up to 10,394 acre feet, compared to a capacity of 16.100 acre feet, Jack Hoff buhr, manager of the Medford Irrigation district, said yester day. Hoffbuhr said there are 76 inches of snow at Four Mile lake and between 12 and 18 inches of ice on the lake. Last year at this time, he said, the lake was at capacity. Fish lake has 5,587 acre feet in it, compared to 7,691 at this time last year, Huffbuhr said. There are about six inches of ice on Fish lake and 40.2 inches of snow. Hoffbuhr said that soil under the snow at Four Mile lake was dry and that no water runoff was visible. SOILED COTTON ' Knoxville, Term.

They are now shoulder-high, and are part of the forest service's plan for continuing efforts at reforestation and continued use of lands under its administration. - portant summer range to 5,500 head of cattle and 800 head of sheep. Use of the forest range by domestic livestock is correlated with other uses in a manner per mitting utilization of each with out damage or major interfer ence with soil or other products of the forest. The National Forests are man aged for a variety of products; water, timber, forage, recrea ation, and wildlife. Under the principle of "Multiple Use" no single use is favored to the ex clusion of others. In all uses the basic resources, soil and water, are given primary consideration. The Forest Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture is observing its Golden Anniver sary in 1955. As it marks the 50th year of its establishment by the American people, the Forest Service salutes all those individuals and organizations who have helped to make note worthy progress in forestry dur ing the past half century. Observance of the Golden An niversary, of the Forest Service has these objectives: 1. To remind th American people of their determined ac tion v bring about protection and management of their forests. 2. To make she Amerioaa people aware of the progress in forestry during the past half century by both private and public agencies. 3. To help the American people gain a better under standing of the importance and dependence upon wt. recreation provided by forest lands. 4. To encourage greater progress - in forestry, on lands, in future years. all 'Meter Feeders' To Face $2.50 Bail on Citations City Police Judge Jame Main has set at $2.50 as bail on cita tions against motorists who park continuously at meter spaces, po lice reported Saturday.
