6 Thursday, January 4, 1945 Vernonia Eagle Those Who Are in It Post Article Urges Conservation KENT TRANSFERRED “Big Timber Gets Religion” is the title of a fascinating article in the December 30th issue of the Saturday Evening Pest and written by one of Oregon’s prominent writers, Robert Or mond Case. , • Using the Tillamook Burn of 1933 as the starting point for modern public awarness of forest fire dangers, Author Case goes' on to tell of the change in atti tude of timber operators; how the old story of “cut-ovt-and-get- out” has been changed to har- vest-and-grow trees; how Oregon sawmill operators are using more and mere of the waste of the woods and sawmills. Coming in for important men tion is the newest development in waste utilization, the Springfield, Oregon, Willamette Valley Wood Chemical Company’s $2,500,000 plant which will make ethyl al cohol from sawdust and hog fuel to the tune of 4,200,000 gallons annually. Case pays high tribute to Col. W. B. Greeley, secretary-mana ger of the West Coast Lumber man’s Association, who left his post as national forester some fifteen years ago to work with the lumber industry in develop ing sound forest practices, and who Case points out has had much to do with working up what he terms—the great ex periment—sound management of private forest lands treating timber as a crop. “Big Timber Gets Religion” should be read by every Oregon ian. Case is at his best on a subject which is close to his heart. Timber is a crop and should be treated as a cr^p, he suggests, as he goes on to tell of the real progress being made here in Oregon and Wash ington toward a more enlight ened handling of our forest lands. Recent word from Aviation Cadet Robert Kent is that he. has been transferred from pre flight school at Athens, Georgia to flight training at the U.S. naval air station at Memphis, Tenn. He mentions having a swell instructor, a form* r dive bomber pilot and that he is fly ing a N2S-5. They are given a lot of swimming, much of it under water and so much in fact that he believes he has grown a pair f gills. Shortly after his arrival at Memphis, Bob was chosen with two others out of his platoon of 40, to be a cadet lieutenant (jg). He would like to receive letters from more of his Vernonia friends so anyone that wi^h:s to write to him and not having his address may obtain it from the Eagle office. IN PHILIPPINES Clair Sunnell, who is with the paratroopers, wrote the Bert Tis dales recently that he is in the Philippines. Tractor Demand Exceeds Supply Oregon’s first quarter 1945 quota of crawler tractors for ag ricultural use does not provide any grounds for optimisum, ac cording to N. C. Donaldson, ex ecutive assistant to the state AAA committee. The new state quota of 48 machines compares with the authorized release of 80 units in the fourth quarter of 1944. The armed services continue to take 85 per cent of the output of tracklaying tractors, accord ing to WPB reports, and indica tions are that heavy military de mand will be the rule during the coming year. In spite of the tightness of the crawler tractor situation, 357 units were released to Ore gon farmers in 1944, Donaldson reported. In addition, 43 stand ard wheel tractors converted in to crawlers have been released, for a total of 400 units. The state committee received applica tions from 934 farmers for trac tors, and it is estimated that about that many more applica tions were screened out by county committees. Timber Growth Great Says Rogers Sound information regarding the tremendous capacity of Ore gon’s forest lands and the need for a realistic harvesting policy of old growth is contained in a recent statement of State For ested Nelson S. Rogers. Says the state forester in part: “The annual growth at the present time is probably less than 2,000,000 M board feet (Oregon), because such a large area is now covered with over Second Lieutenont June L. Sanders of Canton, Ohio, an Army nurse, checks the condition of a wounded soldier aboard the transport plone in which he is about to be evacuated from Fronce to Englund. The Army needs 10,000 more nurses. Fire Prevention Drive Paying Out For the first time a definite dollars and cents value has been placed on the work of Keep Ore gon green in reducing the num ber of man-caused forest fires and holding the acreage from fire loss to an all-time low. The O. and C. Administration, through its acting chief forester, R. S. Kearns, announces a down ward revision in their allowances for fire depletion. Based on pre vious experience, this forestland agency, had established .17 per cent per year as the allowable fire depletion in immature timber on their 214 million acres in western Oregon. This allowance was arbitrarily divided in half for old growth on the theory that about half of this type of timber would be salvable in case of fire.

Size pt 65c About Ground Meal COTTON GOES TO WAR Compared to the average civ ilian need of 20 pounds of cot ton annually, the average sol dier requires 250 pounds. There’s a difference in the pan-frying and broiling times for the various kinds of ground meat. Beef and veal require the same cooking time but lamb and pork take a bit longer. When two or more kinds of ground meat are mixed together, the time is gauged by the kind of meat in the largest proportion. However, when there’s fresh pork in the combination it’s advisable to follow the timing given, for pork must be cooked thor oughly. WAR BONDS GROUND BEEF AND VEAL Because of their leanness, ground beef and veal are benefited by the addition of fat or liquid, such as suet, eggs, or evaporated milk. Eggs and evaporated milk also act as binders to help hold the ground beef and veal together after they’re cooked. Tests show the best results are ob tained by using 2 eggs or 4 table spoons of evaporated milk or 4 table spoons of suet for each pound of ground beef or veal. pound beef or veal patties, broiled or pan-fried, should be cooked about 10 minutes —5 minutes on each side.

How ever, the addition of a little chopped bacon contributes a delectable flavor and adds the fat that is needed. Phone 337 Signal Corps Photo H.

This is the first effort made to put an evaluation on savings to timberland owners from re duced man-caused fires, and the same ratio will undoubtedly ex tend to private holdings where risks and losses are about the same as on O. and C. lands. Mr. Kearns points out that these factors may not stand the test of future fire experience, but excepting great forest con flagrations, in which event entire forest inventory figures for a given region would have to be re vised, the allowance will be car ried at .10 per cent per year. ripe timber where the depletion from disease, insects and wind throw far exceeds, the rate of growth. When this area has been logged, the annual growth for the state should equal at least 7,000,000 M board feet; consequently, it would be safe to say that 5H' billion feet can be cut perpetually. “During th" p st i.sii.1 year, 7,180,000,000 feet were logged.” A better knowledge of the growth possibilities of our tim ber land is needed. .Timber is a lenewable asset with almost un- believeable reproductive capa city. At the present time great areas of our best site quality land is in decadent old growth, timber, showing either no growth or a loss from old age, disease, insects and windthrow. Oregon will only have a well rounded cut forest economy when all lands are in growth and repro duction and under realistic man agement plans. At the present time about 60 per cent of our old growth tim ber :s locked up in Federal own ership. Very little logged areas arc in federal ownership because through the years 90 to 95 per cent of timber cut has come from private lands, therefore very little net growth is being put on federal lands.
