Ku per smith Buys Howard Barber Shop Volunteer Firemen Get Call McDonald Named To Office Division of Land Use Between Forestry, Live stock Discussed The Western Oregon Livestock association turned its annual con vention at Oregon State college into a work session which resulted in the adoption of a series of com mittee reports which constitute the working program of the association or the coming year. This unusual convention was completely devoid of set speeches, although it was conducted in such manner by Pres ident Albert Powers of Coquille disqussion on the various committee reports. All seven presidents of separate county associations were present at the meeiting and these, constituting the executive committee, re-elected present officers of the association •for the coming year. In addition to Powers as president, these are E. A. McDonald of Vernonia, vice- president, and H. A. Lindgren, ex tension livestock field man, sec retary-treasurer. The use of both private and public lands in western Oregon and their division between forestry and livestock use occupied most of the attention of several of the oommlttex-s.’ A'he committee* on leg islation, headed by Fred Knox of Eugene, proposed several changes in the reforestration and land classification laws, but after con siderable discussion it was decided to refer these questions to a special committee which will review all angles and report its findings to the county associations for further discussion before definite recom mendations are made to the legis lature. The committee on public lands and range development, headed by A. C. Marsters of Roseburg, urged that all public land be classified by land use sub-committees and by the forest land classification committee. This report also advocat ed a land policy in order to block scattered holdings into large areas and urged that timber companies and others deed land for which they have no further use to the counties immediately after logging in order that it may be classified and developed as promptly as poss ible. The state game commission was commended by the committee on wild life and predatory animals, headed by J. H. Turner of Gold Beach, for its efforts to perpetu ate the various species of game animals and birds. It was also prais ed for its work toward a manage ment plan for big game to prevent overstocking of wild life in certain areas. A summary of the two-day pro gram is given below: The first day, Wednesday, was occupied by com mittee meetings. The Thursday ses sion began at 10 o’clock with a general assembly with President Albert Powers presiding; address of welcome was delivered by OSC President George Peavy and res ponse by A. C. Marsters, Roseburg; two committee reports completed the morning, one being on legisla tion, taxation and transportation and the other on public lands and range development. The noon luncheon, presided over by Dean W. A. Schoenfeld, featur ed speeches by Professor Hyslop of the college crop department. Pro fessor R. G. Johnson in charge of education on sheep development, Professor E. L. Potter of the econ omics department and P. M. Brant.
