FARMS AND FOREST
FIRES
. 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

BEND MILLS PILING
A LARGE PERCENTAGE ,
OF CUT IN THE YARD
- BEND, Oro., , Large yards in
which to store lumber is the chief
reuson -for the fact that the 'Bend
sawmills are able to continue opera
tion at capacity productlfti despite
the fact that shipping has been cmv
tailed to about 60 per cent of nor
mal, 'In the opinion of Herbert E.
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. '
