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.
Graxing Use

Jackson county furnishes an im-
TREE PLANTING Reforestation is only one
phase, but an important one, in the conserva
tion practices employed in land management
of forest lands. 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.

2-YEAR-OLD PLANTATION Two-year-old ponderosa pine
planted on cutover land in 1951 m the vicinity of Mill creek In the
Union creek area are shown as they appeared in 1953. 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.
