MONDAY, OCTOBER 24. 1955 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OttEGON PAGE NOT PLENTY OF TREES WERE SAVED by the efforts of Russell Rocck Jr., who won the Billboard trophy for bagging the most porcupines this summer, when he colleccted a total of 428 of the woodland creaiures. This pile represents about 60 of the soiny animals piled up in the woods near where the 13-year- old was hunting in the King Cole area. Porcupines do untold damage in the Klamath Basin area by girdling young fir and pine trees, either killing or maiming the trees so badly as to render them unfit for timber use.

Her oooy. trussed In blankets, was found in a roadside ditch in Southwestern Washington the following month, WASHINGTON Oft Richard E. McArdlc, chief of th Forest Serv ice, says a recently completed survey points up the "tremendous challenge" of growing enough timber te supply future genera tions of Americans. The exhaustive study, which cost million dollars and re quired three years of work, was made by federal, and state for esters, forest Industries and public ana private organisations. It predicts the nation's timber requirements wi'.l be so high by the end of the century that growth will have to be increased from 19 to 120 per cent to keep up with mem. "Whether there is time enough to gear tip to levels of future de mand. . . and still meet increas ing needs In the meantime, ' Me Ardle said, "Is a pretty debatable question. "If we accept the assumption that the population of the United States is going to keep on increas ing at a rapid rate, and if we ac cept the estimates of potential tim ber demand at all seriously, it is going to require an intensification of forestry effort above and be yond what most of us have vis ualised.. . . We face a tremend ous challenge if we are to grow enough timber so that our chiloren may enjoy the timber abundance that we ourselves have known." Earlier surveys concluded, there was ample forest land to grow needed timber crops In the United States If the land were used ef fectively. The latest study indl cated this may no longer be true "The .long-lime trend in the na. tion's forest land has been dis tinctly- downward as land has been cleared for agriculture, as hiih- wsys have been built, and as towns have .sprung up and urban areas expanded," the report said. There has been no areat net change In the area of forest land in recent decades despite a small net increase since 149. In all probability the lone-term down. ward trend will continue due to expected increases in population, runner urbanisation, continued highway and power developmental stock..

' 'Considering both this trend in land use and the estimates of po tential future demand. It is no longer a clear-cut conclusion that there is ample forest land. On the contrary, further significant reduc tions in the acresge of land de voted to growing trees should in general be avoided or should be made with full realisation that such withdrawals may adversely affect future timber supplies." The report said about one-tourth of the nation's commercial forest land is poorly stocked or not plant ed at all, timber quality is de clining, one-fourth of the timber cut is not ullllzea and insects and disease are taking an extraordi nary toll. The worst forest conditions, the report declared, are found on small farm and other private ownerships, especially in the South. On the favorable side, the sur vey found mcreasing timber growth In recent years. Sawlim ber growth In 1952 was per cent greater than in 1944. The report said improved re stocking of cutover areas and con trol of insects and disease offer the best possibilities of increas ing timber supplies. The survey pointed out that three-fourths of the forest land is in the East but two-thirds of the sawtimbcr volume is In ihe West. About half of the nation's sawtinv ber stands in Oregon, California and Washington. The Pacific Northwest Douglas fir region has an estimated 695 billion board feet of sawtimber and 113 billion cubic feet of grow ing stock. The Pacific Northwest pine region has an estimated 154 billion board feel of sawtimber and 33 billion cubic feet of grow ing stock. ' Estimates for California are 360 billion board feet of sawtimber and 67 billion cubic teet of grow. ing stock. The Northern Rocky Mountain region has an estimated 161 bil lion board feet of sawtimber and 43 billion cubic feet of growing lion board feet of sawtimber and 18 billion cubic feel of growing stock.
