Resolution Seeking
Reforestation Funds
Will Benefit Area
A resolution calling for a fund
not to exceed $1,000,000 annual
ly be spent for reforestation of
O and C lands in 18 western Ore
gon counties has been approved
by the O and C association.
E. K. Peterson, Medford dis
trict forester of the bureau of
and management, said, "The res
olution should be a great long
run benefit to forest economy
and to the Rogue valley basin as
well as to other parts of western
Oregon where the O and C rights
occur.
Peterson said of the 800,000
acres of O and C lands in the
Medford forest district, that half
the timberland in the area is not
fully stocked with growing tim
ber. Up to the present time the
BLM has been able to obtain
from congress meager funds to
finance reforest stations on O
and C lands, he said.
Plan Seedlings
This year, Peterson said, the
BLM was given only sufficient
funds to permit planning of 160
acres of seedlings. The action by
the executive committee will
make available for reforesting
stations in the Medford district
maximum increase of $250,000
a year, he said. Peterson stated
this would enable the BLM to
reforest artificially a maximum
of over 6,000 acres. '
The reforestation funds have
to be appropriated by congress
and would be reimbursed from
the counties' share of O and C
receipts from timber sales, Peter
son said. He said the counties re
ceive 75 per cent of the sales
receipts by law. Previously the
counties had agreed that a third
of their share be used for timber
access roads, he said. The amount
available for access roads this
year, he said, should be about
$4,500,000.
Peterson said the resolution
reflects the value of the O and
C lands and that the substantial
amount being invested will fur
ther increase productivity of the
lands. He said that if reforesting
lands is successful, the BLM
could sell possibly 50 per cent
more timber than is presently
being offered for sale.
Proble mof Station
Many problems are faced by a
reforesting station, Peterson said.
Among them, he said, are dry
. exposures and other climatic fac
tors, rocky and poor soil, rodents
and fire. The immediate problem
Is getting tree seeds, he said.
Ponderosa pine and douglas
fir trees frequently do not have
good crops more than once in
eight years, Peterson said. Con
sequently, he said, on the eighth
year it is necessary for foresters
to harvest the large crop and
keep the cones in cold storage to
last several years.
At Tuesday's O and C advisory
board meeting in Portland, Rus
sell E. Getty, Oregon State
rang and forestry officer of the
BLM, told the committee about
25,000 acres of O and C lands
are being harvested annually
and about half of that will have
to be artificially reseeded or
planted annually.
Access Roads
BLM State Forest Engineer
Charles F. Fogelquist told the
advisory committee -that $10,
312,000 have been appropriated
from 1951 through fiscal 1956
for building access roads. This
money will provide for 145.8
miles giving access to 8,900,000
board feet of timber, both O and
C and private, he said. Fogel
quist said thus far 48 miles of
roads have been completed, 72.4
are under construction and will
be completed this year and 25.4
miles have construction sched
uled to start this summer. He
said the budget request for 1957
is for $4,193,700 for 73 miles
of road.
Getty also reported to the com
mittee that 445,966,000 board
feet of timber were sold for $17,
223,320.98 from O and C lands
in the first 10 months of fiscal
1956. He said that May and June
sales would bring the total to
an estimated 614,859,000 board
feet.
Getty said the inventory pro
gram being carried on by BLM
has permitted increases in allow
able cut from 588,000,000 board
feet in October, 1955, to 614,
000,000 in February, 1956. Getty

said the secretary of the inter

Inventory Speedup
There is a speed up of inven
tories including all species in
cluding hardwoods and those
once thought of as weed trees,
Getty said. Markets are develop
ing for these hardwoods and
weed trees, Getty pointed out.
He said 608,000 acres have been
inventoried to present high in
ventory standards, 1,103,000
acres have been partially inven
toried with forest types classi
fied and 1,230,000 acres remain
to be classified.
Sale prices have risen from
an average of $1.96 per thousand
board feet in 1939 to an average
of $38.62 in May, 1956, Getty
said. The sale price has increased
$3 in the past four months, he
said.
