THE RECENT purchase of 2,180 acres
of land near Birkenfeld by F. A. Stinchfield
marks the second large-scale venture of pas
turing Nehalem valley land. A former large
purchase last fall together with the present
transaction would seem to indicate some truth
in what has often been said that the increas
ing acreage of logged-off land in territory
adjacent to the valley can prove of usefulness
much before that time when it again may be
productive of a second crop of timber.
Much has been written and much said
of possibilities of utilizing the land to the
purpose for which those purchases have been
made. Much speculation has been of the con
tention that the land could prove of value in
such a manner and recent moves would seem
to indicate that the speculation was of some
basis.
,
Enough experience would seem to have
been derived from trials by others to indicate ! 1
that success will be fairly well assured.
