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.
Fifty-six timber sales
brought in $1,600,000.

Chicago (IP) Eleven state
legislatures gave tax relief last
year to city public transporta
tion companies, the Interna
tional City Managers' Associa
tion reported.
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.

Fruit Trees
Injured by Gophers
Young fruit trees in Jackson
county have been damaged by
gophers, according to Clifford
B. 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.
