City, Jackson County Featured In National Forestry Magazine Medford and its sister com munities throughout Jackson county are the subject of an article in a national forestry magazine this month. The American Tree Farmer and Forestry Digest, publish ed by American forest Prod ucts Industries, Washington, D. C.,- devotes a centerspread feature in its current Issue to the history of the Rogue river basin, and the "hidden main spring" of timber which spur red the area's growth. Most of the privately owned timberland In the county is enrolled in the industry-sponsored tree farm program to grow timber as a crop, and another 840,000 acres of government-owned timber in the county is also under a perpetual-yield program, the ar ticle points out, so the bulk of the 1.5 million acres of for est land in the county Is for mally committed to manage ment programs. Traces Development The magazine traces Bed ford's development from its early day frontier flavor to the thriving community it is today.

Progressive Standards "With new markets have come growing timber values and In turn progressive for estry standards," it declares. Evaluating the basin, the forestry magazine suggests that opportunity, location and climate have speeded its growth. "Newcomers are delighted with the mild climate - aver aging a year-round 58 degrees -and, pleasant evenings.

Protection from Firo The men who manage the basin's productive forest Wnds are working closely to protect them from fire, says the Di gest, and private operators have set up one of the na tion's truly outstanding coop erative mobile radio networks through their local industry organization; Southern Ore gon Conservation and Tree Farm association. The county's forest indus tries employ more than 4,000 people directly with a payroll of some $24,000,000 annual ly, and produce lumber and plywood valued at $75,000,000 a year. In addition to this economic activity, communities in the Rogue basin offer a variety of cultural activity.

IASY TIMI MYMfttftt ft 'k0m mm Milk Is a Necessity and Can't B Duplicated All mammals must start life with milk, a common iluld that the chemist can break down into such simple and silly components as water, sugar, salts, ash and a certain amount of little round glob ules known as butter-tat. The more of these globules, the richer the milk, the num ber of them depending on the species of warm blooded mam mals that secreted the fluid. The same chemist, afler classifying and carefully measuring the components, even to a thousandth of a point, knows exactly the amount of each in a given amount of milk. He can (urn around and purchase just the right amount of each, mix them all together, add just the proper amount of water, and what would you suppose he would have? He wottlrf simply have a mess. It wouldn't be miik.. Something Extra. ' There's a little something in milk that the chemist cannot add;- something he cannot classify or duplicate. Theve ac tually was a man once, who thought he was smart enough to Invent a machine that could manufacture milk. Had he waited until he successfully made such a Tfincmne, he would have starved to death. He didn't know enough, and. no one else 'does. Fundamentally, the milk from all mammals Is the same, differing only in the propor tion in which all the elements are present.
