When she went to picK some the first ear was higher than

Woodlot Facts
By DICK OLSON
Oregon Slate Firm Forester
TREE PLANTING SEASON
Owners of forest property
in southern Oregon should
begin now to make plans for
the years tree planting. They
should first select the area
they wish to reforest and then
pick the species of trees that
are suitable for this land.
When planting trees for the
first time they should seek
assistance from reliable
sources.
Trees for reforestation,
Christmas trees, and wind
breaks will again be available
from the Oregon state nurse
ries at Elkton and Corvallis.
The farm foresters' office
now has a list of these trees
which will be available this
November. Availible trees
are basically the same as last
year with the addition of
Sugar Pine. The inventory of
Noble Fir and Shasta Fir is
greater than it was last year.
Seven species of Pine, four
species of True Firs, two spe
cies of Cedar. Douglas Fir
and several other species of
conifers and hardwoods will
be offered.
The 1962 and 1963 Oregon
nurseries' order blanks will
be available around the first
of November. Interested land
owners may write in and put
their names on a mailing list.
In the past, quick ordering
has been necessary to obtain
Noble and Shasta Fir seed
lings. The trees will cost from
$12.00 to Sir.OO per thousand,
depending on species.
CELLULOSE CEMETARIES
Albert Arnst, Editor of the
Timberman, has called cer
tain old-growth forests closed
to logging "cellulose cemete
ries. He said that valuable
raw material which could be
added to the region's econ
omy was being lost in many
of these areas, but that high
country Alpine type areas
were undoubtedly put to
good use for wilderness re
creation. SMALL WOODLAND
The average holding of the
small woodland owner in the
United States is 59 acres. All
together there are 26S million
acres in 4.5 million such
tracts.
This is three-fourths of all
the privately owned commer
cial forest land and more than
half of all forest land, public
and private in the ' nation.
Over one-half of the 265 mil
lion acres in small woodland
is owned by farmers. The rest
is owned by non-farmers,
school teachers,' bankers, lo
cal merchants, housewives
and others.
These small forests com
prise the most accessible and
potentially the most produc
tive woodland in the coun
try. But unfortunately they
are in the poorest condition
because on these small wood
lands occur many of the fires
and most of the destructive
cutting. Also, many are over
grazed by livestock. Many
acres are producing only one
third to one-half of their po
tential capacity.
How is your woodland pro
ducing and what are you
doing to increase its rate of
growth?
CONSERVATION TOURS
On Oct. 2 and 3. Josephine
county is going to hold its an
nual school forest conversa
tion tour. This tour is attend
ed by all the sixth graders in
Josephine county. Good forest
conservation is demonstrated
here from tree planting to
commercial harvesting The

FROM
THE
GROUND
UP.
Br BART BARTLETT
It must be emphasized
again that ideas in this col
umn are designed to provoke
thought by persons dealing
with biological materials.
This provides quite a wide
latitude for the utilization of
that portion of the human
anatomy known generally as
grey matter.
Setn by the Roadside
This should be a good time
for those who are interested
or engaged in the arrange
ment of dried floral decora
tive pieces to begin making
some collections of the plant
materials that may be needed
this winter.
Homeowners and others
that are served by ALL irri
gation districts should con
sult the manager of each dis
trict to find out when they
plan to stop delivering water.
Then make it a point to be
well irrigated by that date.
It may be a long dry fall.
Home Orchard Problem
The apple trees in many
home orchards are full of
wormy apples. The reasons
for this are not simple or
easy to explain. It seems that
the advice that home orchard
ists get is partly at fault. It
is also a fact that the majority
of home orchards should not
exist. They are neglected and
at best expensive. The fruit
produced by most home orch
ards could be bought far
cheaper than it can be grown.
However, there are instan
ces where one must defend
the motives of the home or
chardist. It is a hobby, or it
has value as an avocation for
an elderly person. Some of
the blame for the pest prob
lems of the small grower
must be placed on the com
mercial companies who sell
shoddy spray equipment and
a package or bottle of "cure
all" spray material.
We refer to last week's col
umn in which mention was
made to the Jackson county
fairgrounds and subjects re
lating thereto. The old Talent
agronomy station would be
an excellent site for a fair
grounds. A track for the run
ning of ponies and horses
could easily be constructed at
this site and leave ample
space for barns, pens and
whatever else is needed for
a proper fairgrounds setup.
The present fairgrounds are
too near Medford to even be
considered for such purposes
as the long range develop
ment of a fairgrounds area.
Aside from this some other
areas of Jackson County
should be developed besides
those that favor Medford and
its businesses.
Not Prime Farm Land
The old agronomy site is
not prime agricultural land.
This fact can be gleaned from
the records and attested to by
the agronomic leaders of the
present agronomic experi
ment station at its present site
at the Hanlcy farm on Jack
son creek.
It is also questionable as to
whether society owes jail
prisoners the privilege of re
habiliating themselves while
in jail awaiting trial or for
the purpose of serving short
sentences. If they wese used
to clean up garbage along
roadsides it may be prefer
able to having them grow
economic crops that tend to
compete with those grown by
local farmers. We would of
fer one thought in this regard
and that is that the prisoner
who was being rehabilitated
in the old Camp White Na
tion Guard area recently had
quite a rehabilitating affect
on the large warehouse that
was burned , to the ground.
