9,500 Logging Permils Issued During Past Year Forestry department re vealed today it issued 9,500 logging permits during 1957 some 2.000 fewer than the year before. The department said the permit decline due to lower lumber prices and a down ward trend in sales gave a "striking picture" of the de crease in logging and lumber ing employment in the state. In rounding up its activities for the year, the department said its protection personnel extinguished 699 fires and had the burned area down to 9.279 acres. This figure was below the average of the past six years. A new nursery was set up during the year at Elkton with the cooperation of the Douglas county court and the U. S. Forest Service. Com bined production of Oregon ifurseries will be about 20 million trees during the 1957 58 planting season with a max imum capacity of 35 million trees if they are needed. Work also started on the state s multi-million dollar forest rehabilitation program to protect and reforest some 300,000 acres o denuded state owned land. Through Dec ember more than 34 million trees had been planted and the project Is about one-third completed.

The association said Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Minnesota, North Carolina, Ohio, Okla homa, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington and West Virginia eliminated at least one form of state or local tax on buses and trolleys. Some cut more than one. The association said that in Iowa, fees and taxes that had ranged from $100 to $515 per bus were cut to an annual flat $25 per bus. State gas taxes and local gross receipts and franchise taxes . also were eliminated, it added. Washington's legislature ex empted city bus lines from state gasoline taxes for two years, the association said. Proportion of U.S. Timber Holdings in County Shows Rise (Editor's note: This is an other in a series of articles discussing federal timber in Jackson county and its roll on the economy in the county. The study was made by the Industrial Forestry association. "the proportion of Federal timber ownership in Jackson county has increased from 60 to 72 per cent in the last 10 years," W. D. Hagenstein, ex ecutive vice president of the Industrial Forestry associa tion, said today in comment ing on an association study of Jackson county's federal tim- mer. While federal forests were being undercut in Jackson county in the last 10 years, private forests were contribu ting 78.6 per cent of the total log harvest to provide the county with 40 per cent of its payroll. He said this has worked a hardship on, local forest industry, because the cumulative effect of cutting less than the allowable amount has raised appraised timber prices on the Rogue River National forest four times since 1947 and the bid price 2'i times. BLM Timber "In the case of bureau of land management timber," Hagenstein said, "while the appraised price was being raised from 1947 to 1956 four times, the average bid price increased 3'i times." He said this reflected the artificial timber shortage created by the government's failure to harvest its full allowable cut during the past decade. "The actual loss was much greater," Hagenstein said, "be cause the allowable cuts were all determined on unrealistic. outdated inventories Hogenstein said that the Industrial Forestry associa tion had long urged Congress to provide adequate funds for reinventorying national for ests of the Douglas fir region and pointed out there had never been a complete inven tory of the Rogue River Na- tional forest nor the Medford district, bureau of land man agement Such inventories are now in progress and he urged that they be speeded up so that realistic allowable cuts can be determined during 1958 Otherwise, private forests will continue to be overcut and more and more operators be come dependent upon high priced federal timber which has priced lumber and ply wood out of the market and cost local citizens their jobs. he said Dog Likes Sound Of Automobile Horn Syracuse, N.

Cordy, county horticultur alist. The rodents cut the roots of the young trees, Cordy said, and in many cases damage to the trees is not noticed until the tree starts to lean. The most efficient way to kill gophers, he said, is by trapping them. He explained that gophers make a slightly crescent shaped mound with one flat side. To trap the gopher dig out from the flat side of the mound about 10 inches until the main runway is reached. In the main runway two McAbee traps should be placed, one on either side of the hole. The traps should be attached to a wire which is secured on top of the ground. Once the traps are placed the hole should be covered with dry grass or other material which would allow a dim light in that area of the runway, Cordy stated. He explained that the gopher would be at tracted by the dim light and investigate the area. The agent recommended that fruit growers check orch ards for gopher mounds. Mrs. A. B. Mead left Cen tral Point Wednesday to visit the home of Mrs. Margaret Rhodes in Modesto, Calif. She accompanied her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs N. A. Mead, to Modesto. The N.A .
