Farm Woodlots Said Important in Program Of Renewing Forests Salem Farmers and owners of small tracts of forest lands ' may hold the key to half the problem of growing a new crop of trees, according to Charles H. Ladd, chief forester for the state forestry department. "The small woodland owners hold over 4,900,000 acres oi our finest commerical timber lands", Ladd said. This repre sents over 50 per cent of the privately owned forest lands of the state. Over 35,000 different owners are involved, the forester point ed out. He warned the treat ment these lands receive will have a great influence on the future forest economy of the state. Ladd reported that an esti mated 4 billion board feet of timber was harvested from these small "woodlands" in 1954. Whether or not a new forest crop can be harvested from these small holdings depends upon the owner and his forestry program, gram. Must Offset Losses "The timber from the farm woodlands must meet part of our future needs and offset losses resulting from fire, in sects and disease," the forester reported. Through the efforts of the farm forestry program of the state forestry department and other 'public and private agen cies, the small woodland owner is beginning to see the merits of forest management, he add ed. The highly competitivs mark et for forest products has also been a great help in selling good forestry. The trend is changing from "burning it off and seed ing it . with grass' to logging practices that will insure regen- j eration of commercial tree species. So far the state, with only five farm foresters, has befen able to assist about 900 small owners each year. But Ladd re-H ported many owners have been quick to grasp the potential in the Christmas ' tree market Planting their cutover tracts and marginal farm acres with Christmas trees as a first crop has been a good stepping stone in selling forestry to the farm ers. The demand for planting stock from the Oregon forest nursery at Corvallis has exceed ed the supply. Add io Farm Income ' He added, today a large share of Oregon's output of lumber, pulpwood, cordwoods, posts and piling is harvested from these small farm woodlands. Such products contribute substantially to the farm income and to the support and payrolls of local communities. However, much of the timber is harvested prematurely and most woodlands are feeing "over cut". It is much like withdraw ing savings or investments at the time they are earning .the highest possible interest. "Wise use and more forest education will do much to stabilize pro duction on our farm woodlands", Ladd said. the same day to REDDING For Example: IV. Medford . . 8:10 A.M. AR Redding . . 12:18 P.M.
