The continued productivity of any Irrigated Tegion. is dependent upon its, water suppiy Is regulated by the Condition t the forest cover on the wateranea. 'luiorefore we may say that -the productivity of tho . farm lands "de'pWhds , upon the 'condition of the forests. ' ': ' '; .' . , The 'results of watershed denuda tion are -ell known.. .Without -the protective -forest cover the winter snows melt quickly and the water pushes .down the stream., courses, carrying 'tons of Bilt which fills the reservoirs and ditches. The stream beds are cut down into deep gullies and floods result, which "in some cases have swept away whole towns. The summer rains run off quickly where the' soil has been exposed. If the watersheds are covered with a stand of timber and its attend ant undergroweh the -.winter accu mulation of snow is lot down gradu ally, thus lasting far Into-the sum mer when it is most needed. ' The summer rains are also held back and erosion is held to a minimum. The most destructive agency of the forest cover on the watersheds Is forest fires. These fires not only kill the young growth but they also burn the humus out of the soIland render it loss water retentive. Con tinued fires' so' deplete the "soli" of plant food that in time the water shed becomes an erodod, barren Wa3le Incapable of supporting vege tative growth. . . Lumbering on the watersheds is not destructive if proper cutting methods -are practiced. The forest service regulations, applicable on all National. Forests, provide that only the ripe, or mature trees be cut, and . special care Is taken to keep the damage to .young growth down to n minimum.'' Brush aiidirll debris is piled and burned, .usually In the fall when there is no danger of the fires spreading. ". Every precaution is taken to les sen the fire hazard on the logging units. Thus, if & constant and plen tiful supply of water Is to be, malh-' tallied fires must bo kept out 'of the watersheds. About eighty percent of., nil. forest Iras, are ninn-cnusod nd therefore preventable. Every individual In this community 'Sharon In tho responsibility, of seeing that the number of mnn-cauaed tiros is reduced lo . the -.'minimum.

Alien,, assistant general manager of the Brooks-Scanlon Lumber Co., who recently roturned from a visit to o number of . coast mills. "The tidewater mills do not have large yards because the 'lumber is shipped at once, going almost from the saw into the boat. They do not need drying .yards because the lum ber Is not shipped by woight -but ac-' cording to cubic foot displacement, j We need drying yards because -we i do not want to pay for shipping water. When the orders drop off at tidewater mills they must curtail production but we store it in our yards. . , , . ..-'..- . -.. . "We are enabled to '"cut" the logs' to. better advantage-' because they are not being cut for particular, orders waiting to be shipped' out, but toast mills haveNto do that to a certain extent." ! . , The fact that. Bend sawmills, BrooksiScanltfn ' and Shevlin-Hlxpn Co., are large concerns has been cit ed as one reason wliy they.. were able to continue at. capacity" pro duction tlesptte curtailed shipments. While admitting that 'this is true Mr. Allen said that -the companies would not be doing It it 'they did not wunt to do so. The fact that tne town of Band Is largely dependentupon the saw mills has . been recognized by 'the Brooks-Scanlon Co., Jtr.."' Allen pointed out, and said thutNieing In terested in its welfare, the sawmill had never shut down since it open ed here and ' production has been only curtailed at; intervals and .for a short time.' f Absence of labor troubles in Bend which have affected other sawmill .towns in the state,- was attributed 'to the steady operation of the mills 'by Mr. Allen. ;V ,.A slight- picking up in- demand is reported at -the -present time. ,' "It has to pick up or ;we will- have to shut down," Mr. Allen , said. ' MUCH MILK ' Jokes about Pelican Bay's dairy In the wilds north of , Cra'ter Lake,' and concerning, the amouht 'of mjlk consumed - by the cots -are not wild and far from fact as might be.
