A couple of columns elicited the following letter from ftobert Meager of the Timber Management ' Service. I run it here as another step in the forestry presentation program which I so firmly believe must come if we are to under stand and through understanding utilize our forest resources. Bab Is speaking as a profession al forester and using some lang uage that I don't always under stand, but at least it is interest ing. So, here's what he had to aay: I was quite pleased at the Im pressions left with Bill Jenkins by the Shasta-Cascade Logging Con ference aa evidenced by the Bill board on July 26 and August 3. Mr, Jenkins expressed a' wish that the forestry program of the coun try be presented to the public in such a way as to create better understanding and I certainly agree that this1 Is very necessary In fact, one of the cannons pi the Code of Ethics for the Forestry Profession stales that a forester . will strive lor correct and Increas ing knowledge of forestry and the dissemination of this knowledge. Nevertheless. It is difficult when speaking of forestry to avoid be ing vague since conditions are so variable. Blanket statements re garding forestry are dangerous If not impossible to make, not oniy do oractlces vary as timber stand ' composition, density, age. vigor ,' and other physical factors vary but . forestry practices are irequenuy controlled by economic conditions. On the other hand, it must be re membered that economio condi tions In a forested area are to more or less a degree controlled by the productivity of forest lands. I should like to take this oppor tunity, therefore, to make a few statements regarding this vague thlrur called forestry in-so-fur as timber prodaction Is concerned. Forestry Is more than harvest ing a final crop of trees; It Is more than protection of timber and forage from fire. Insects, and disease; it la more than planting trees; It la more than conservation In fact, I do hot recall having even heard the word "conserva tion'' during my entire training as a forester. What then, Is forestry? It Is defined by the Society of American Foresters In their publi cation Forestry Terminology as "the scientific management of for ests for the continuous production of goods and services." simple, Isn't it? Any definition, however, br the very nature of Its brevity usually leaves much to be desired in tne complete understanding oi a term. Forestry Is a science dealing with the physiology, anatomy, and ecology of trees, ecology being the relationship between a plant and its environment. Forestry Is an , art the art of applying those prac tices based on scientific data which : will achieve certain desired results.

Forestry, how. ever, Is unique as a production enterprise In the respect that the manufacturing plant, the trees themselves, are subject to liquida tion through direct conversion into the finished product. Consequently, forestry, too, Is state of mind. It is an acceptance oy land owners of the fact the all land is not capable of equal production; that forest land Is pro- ducmg land only 11 a certain num. her of producing units (merchant able trees! are retained for pro duction, although not necessarily on each acre. The number and distribution of such units required for certain levels of production, will of course, vary considerably, and it must be admitted that com plete answers to all such problems arc not yet available to toresters although a great deal more about forestry Is known than Is being practiced. Forest researcn, now. ever. Is moving ahead and provid lng answers as rapidly as is pos sible with a long term crop such as tinioer. Throughout the western part of the United States a general feeling quite naturally prevails that for. estry must necessarily be confined 10 government agencies and big companies. A quick look at some national statistics reveal, however, that forestry very likely must be applied to small forest holdings if the timber economy of our nation is to be maintained. Area of Commercial Forests In the United States by ownership uiasses: - Large Private (5.000 acres or larger) B4 million acres, 18 per cent or total; Small Private (Un der 5,000 acres! 201 million acres, 57 per cent of total; Total Private, 345 million acres, 75 per cent of total; Total Public (national, state and countyi 116 million acres, 25 per cent of total; Total, 461 mil lion acres, 100 per cent. Of the total commercial forest area of the United States, 77 per rent la east of the Rocky Moun tains, and practically all of this east of tha Great Plains, m gen eral, average productivity of pri vate land is probably somewhat higher than government land, and the productivity of forest lands In the East win average somewhat higher than In the West, so that potential production Is not direct ly proportional to the commercial land area presented above. Another, popular misconception or forestry is that when the old- growth timber is gone, opportuni ties for forestry are gone. This concept Is completely the reverse oi tne actual truth. Only as na tural stands of high oualltv old- growth timber are removed does it become feasible to think In terms or forestry in the complete sense of the word. The West, being the last, frontier of old-growth timber in the United States, should take heed of the mistakes of other re gions of the country and make ev ery effort to provide for an orderly transition from old-growth to sec-ond-growth stands In order that there will be a minimum of dis ruption and shock to forest indus tries and dependent communities. Here, then, are two grave mis conceptions concerning forestry hat are detrimental to (he future total productivity of our forest lands and the situation created by these misconceptions can only be rectified by a mass shift in public opinion. These are (1) Small forest properties are Inconsequential In the timber prosperity of -our na tion, (2) Second growth stands are undesirable something to get rid of while the market Is good be cause they will never amount to anything. ... Great strides have been made In certain aspects of the fores try problem through cooperation, aroused public opinion, and the de voted effort of many people.

There still remains, however, a great deal of room for public un derstanding of the complete pic ture of forestry. let LONG DISTANCE keep and friends close to you jtes Falls $2.00 10 JAMES MARLOW By DON WHITEHEAD WASHINGTON The Demo cratic and Republican parties very likely will spend a whopping six million dollars between them to carry the 1956 presidential cam paign arguments Into millions of American homes by television. Advance estimates indicate tele vision will be the largest single Hem In the campaign budgets. Each party will spend about double the amount spent in 1952. The money will come from the treasur ies of the rational committees, state committees and allied citizen groups. By law, the national committees may collect and spend only three minions each in financing the en tire campaign. But each party can sidestep this limitation by having state organizationa and citizens' groups plok up the checi. The Republicans already are dickering with the national net works for favorable TV spots next fall, particularly in the last six weeks of the campaign. The best times are tne evening hours.- The Democrats say they haven't yet begun negotiations with the net works, but they also will reserve time far in advance of the cam paign stretch drive.

JORDAN, M.D. A woman writes that she has had an arthritis of the spine for numoer oi years and the doc tors tell her than In time it will "burn out" and then she will' have things she wants to know if there win be less pain when this occurs. The condition described by the correspondent sounds .like- a par ticular variety of spinal arthritis which Is much more common In young men than In women, and comparatively rare in the older years. This form of arthritis which goea under several names does usually progress at an extremelv slow rate to stiffness and the con dition which is sometimes known as "poker spine." ai tnis later stage the nam dis appears though there Is consider able limitation of movement not only of the spine Itself but also of the expansion of the chest. no one knows the cause of this strange condition and It is still somewhat uncertain as to whether It is merely a form of the more common rheumatoid arthritis in volving Joints in other parts of the body, or whether It is a dif ferent disease. It does cause a good deal of YOUTH KILLS SNAKE JACKSONVILLE.

In the hc-at of the campaign, criti cal times arise when party leaders consider It worth almost any price to get their story to the people quickly and dramatically. But it's a costly thing to buy TV time on short notice because it means pay ing a "pre-emption" fee to the producers who gave up the time- In addition to the regular network costs. Some TV network sources have estimated tnat In 1952 the Republi cans spent more than $230,000 in buying up expensive time on short notice. Such a moment came when Republicans rushed Richard Nixon mow the vice president) ;o the air waves to explain a campaign fund given to him by a group of private citizens. ' The democrats had their own emergencies but their extra costs weren't as heavy as those of the Republicans. And It is no secret that the Democrats must hoard their money a good deal more carefully than the Republicans. Both ' narties face the. problem of heavier costs for TV time.- In 1952, a half hour on one network coast-to-coast cost about $32,000. according to one source at 'COP national headquarters. But with more TV stations In the network, the cost next year will be Just about double, v discomfort and pain as well stiffness and unless It Is properly treated It may cause the. body - to oe Doweq forward. Treatment is still not complete ly satisfactory but is likely to in clude a proper blance of rest and special exercises. -There are other kinds of artli- rltis or degenerative disorders which can. occur in the spine. In a lew , like tuberculous arthritis the cause Is definitely known and the treatment pretty well stand ardized. In others the cause Is both un known and the best treatment un certain. One form of arthritis of the spine is that which is fairly com mon In elderly peoplevand In peo ple who are overweight. This is a soft of bone degeneration and Is not accompanied by true In flammation. Frequently this variety of arth ritis does not produce any serious symptoms and can merely be con sidered a sign of advancing years. When symptoms are nroduced. however, there Is no good method of restoring the spinal Joints com pletely to normal. Tne treatment must therefore. be aimed at relieving the symp toms of pain and stiffness inso far as that is possible. a oack brace can be helofui. The use of a stiff mattress or a board under the mattress is also commonly recommended. Some times heat massage, or other measures of physical therapy bring about considerable relief. In most, a spinal arthritis Is an unpleasant disability only and not a danger to life or general health. DIETETIC CANDY No Salt Pharmacy ' Klamath Fall Sam Dawson NEW YORK W With the sun balanced on the equator business enters a new season today. Busi ness has had a good summer and In spite of the almost general anti cipation of continuing good times in the fall and winter seasons, there are plenty of conflicts looming. There's almost sure to be some name colling between those wno hold that good times and easy credit go together and those who want to stretch prosperity into next year by going a little slower the rest of this year. Politicians will talk the loudest concerning what to do about farm income and farm surpluses. But businessment will be divided on that question, too. Those selling products to farmers wHl be ner vous about any drop in farm in comes. And others will worry about tne load on tne economy caused by price supports oi farm products. . Business also will be split over the question of U.S. tariffs and the trade problems of our Western European allies. Any decisions along those lines will affect some industries directly, and others In- directly through taxes. The hope for tax cuts burns bright as businessmen start mak ing plans for next year. But a bitter conflict over which should come first, a balanced budget or a lax cut, will divide businessmen just as it will politicians. There'll also be a big comlict over which class ol citizens should benefit the most from tax cuts. Within business ranks will be quite a struggle over costs versus prices. Rising labor rates and price hikes on material, parti cularly metals, to sending operat ing costs up. The question is how much of this can be passed alon r to the consumer befoie sale? drop uu. ii prices non t rise, and the factory absorbs the higher costs, stockholders may find their hopes oi nigner dividends lading.

It was feared for a time that millionaires would die out in this civilization, that they would go the way ol the dodo or the extinct passenger pigeon. Happily, it hasn't worked out that way. The millionaire class has proved a hardy breed. If mil lionaires aren't quite multiplying like the rabbit, they are at least increasing faster than the whoop ing crane. The average person, told he is 30ing to meet a millionaire for tne tirst time, finds his heart sud denly beating a bit faster. i "How shall I act?" he asks. "What shall I say to him?" Nervously, he thumbs through his wife's etiquette book. He finds ! uo help there. Oddly, no etiquette writer ever thinks to Include a chapter on "The Care ond Proper Treatment of Millionaires." - This is a strange oversight in deed. Tne etiquette writers seem to have the idea that you should treat a millionaire just as you would any other social equal. Tney are on Ihe right track here, bu they don't go far enough, Million aires are even more equal than your other social equals. A nclplul thing to remember is that, while you are uneasy at the prospect oi meeting the million aire, he may be even more un easy over meeting you. A million aire always has the uneasy leel- ,ng someone is trying to get at his mo.iey, and how does he know you aren't, too? (As a matter of fact, he is probably rlsht. Who ever met a millionaire withuut the wild secret hope he could help the fellow share the burden of his wealth? i Here are a few time-tested tips on how to get along with a million aire: 1. When you lirst shake hands with him, avoid staring at his right hand hip pocket. It will only make him more nervous if your eyes go instantly to where you think he keeps his wallet. (You'd be wrong anyway. All veteran mil lionaires carry their wallet in their inside coat pocket, where they can reach in and pat it gently from time to time.) 2. If you are at a bar, insist on buying the first round o drinks yourself. This will throw him oil guard, and he' will begin to relax. 3. Talk about harmless topics like politics, sex and the weather. When a millionaire wants to talk about money, he likes to be the one who brings up the subject. 4. Don't make ridiculous, re marks like, "Well, alter all, money won't buy everything." The mil lionaire knows you aren't in a position to say whether this is really true or not. He is. 5. If you have an inside tip on a new stock or a horse race, pass it on to him at once. It will please him to know you are interested in seeing him get ahead. 6. Never ask him where is the safest place to keep money. He may be hiding his hi the crotches of trees and become suspicious that you arc trying to find out his secret. ' 7. If a millionaire tells you the only road to wealth Is by hard work, don't laugh out loud even though you know he inherited his own riches. Look impressed. He may be right. (II you don't think inheriting money Is hard work, just sit down right now and try to inherit some yourself.) 8. It is unwise to ask him how many millions he really has. If he only has one. It will embarrass him. If he has more, than one, he won't tell you anyway. 9. Should you number several millionaires among your acquaint anceship, . avoid mentioning the fact. Every millionaire iikes to feel he is the only millionaire In your me. 10, Many people in the presence of a millionaire feel on overwhelm ing urge to praise the income tax. Fight down this temptation or you'll find yourself all. alone talk ing to' yourself. There is one other rule worth remembering: People who really have money usually let It talk for them. If a guy at your dinner table brags he's a millionaire, be sure to count the spoons before he leaves. NO PROBLEM OMAHA W The new city direc tory has an omission., It doesn't list the address of Sheriff Pat Cor rigan among the county officers. But Corrigan Isn't worried. He said, "most of the people we do business with know where we are. The problem is in locating them." Kitchen 1 Cjraft I Naturallv when we talk of ag riculture we will eventually come to the problem of food which is ihe base of all agricultural prob lems. Man is the only animal that does not have Mother Nature prepare bis food supply for him. Man is the only creature for whom nature has no adeouate food. Now I know that you may think that this la a brash statement, lor did not man in a state of savagery, exist merely from plucking the fruits of the land, or, let's say the Garden of Eden? Perhaps so, In some dim remote past so far back in history that even arcneoiogists have not yet discovered but the popular notion of such a Utopian existence apparently fairs before reality for even in the so-cauea lush growing areas of the tropics man still finds it necesary to cook and prepare his food. The cultivation of plants, the domestication of animals, and the art of cooking are extremely an cient undertakings which have played an important role in the development of mankind. When grasshoppers, the vanished buffalo, or present day herds of deer in crease in numbers their food sup ply decreases. When, through the lark of food their f30d supply de creases, and starvation or disease reduces the animol population, then their food supply Increases as the population Is reduced, af ter which the animal population again Increases. Man occupies a different status if all the people of this world wouid suddenly move to Mars, the amount of human food would quickly become negligible. If, af ter 40 months sojourn upon the planet Mars, the population of the earth decided to return to the green planet, not a tenth part of tnem would find food upon their return. ' The great bread grain, wheat, wouia proDaoiy nave become ex tinct and lost to man forever: perhaps also, rice, barlev and maize. In the case of animals oth er than man the greater the popu lation the less food they have to eat. me more men there are the more food there is. The world's food supply Is simple one. It consists In main taining the quantity per capita and increasing the quality of the food supply, it is not possible to in crease the food supply greatly be yond the immediate needs of the population, because many food products deteriorate rather rapid ly, while with othe's, the cost of storage is too gre.U. A funda mental fact that we f jday are be ginning to learn to r embarrass rnemt. It is possible, as we are beginning to learn, to so improve the efficiency of food production that the proportion of the people engaged in food production can be greatly reduced and thus re lease the rest of the oooulation for other essential and unessential activities. Great progress has al ready been made In this direction. A , thousand , years ago, nine tenths of the people of the world were engaged In the production of ineir daily oread' and praying that they might -'obtain' It. Today the problem . is entirely changed the world over, perhaps - only quar ter to' one half the population of me worm is engaged In producing their daily breed ond now many of them have forgotten to pray for it. It is so incidental to their ma jor activities that they scarcely Jury Considers Threat Report TAHOKA, Tex. tmA grand jurv today was to consider reported threats against a 16-year-old Negro admitted to Tahoka's formerly all white high school. ., .,, The boy, Andrew Nance, recent ly was elected vice-president of the Junior class by fellow students.

The population Is increasing by leaps and bounds in absolute num bers never so rapidly as has been the pace over the last SO years This increase long ago was noted in England by Malthus and his lol. lowers who became disturbed' over the fact, so greatly so, that they developed a theory that the population of mankind would bo limited by his ability to produce food, and since at no period in the history of man's development has there been a true surplus un til American politics began to func tion, starvation was always lust ahead of the growing population The Malthuslans today look with a Jaundiced eye upon our surplus supply of food, "It won't lost" they dismally croak, now in 1075 etc! etc I Well, it's been going on this same way for at least three them, and years or more and starvation upon a global scale is still tomor row. Some writers, such as East, q-. lieved that the point of sa.ur lim in the United States would be reached in the lifetime of persons now living. East, held forth at length upon this subject a quar. ter of a centurjt ago. The Mai thuslans would be more nearly within the realm of practical a(. fairs if they had placed emphasis upon the future need of fuel and lumber, but even In these fields the dismal predictions of famine in fuel and wood appear to be equally as nebulous when the prob lems become faced by human in genuity. There has never been a period in history, so far as we know, when the variety, quality and regl ularity of the supply of food of the world has been as satisfactory as during the last half century. This is particularly true of the occidental world, but I believe it is also true for the oriental world, which traditionally faces starvation each day. i .
