Oregon Tree Farm Area Now Second In Nation Oregon has just passed Wash­ ington to take over second place among 38 states in the American tree farm program, according to statistics announced by James C. McClellan, chief forester for American Forest Products Indus­ tries, national coordinator of the tree farm movement. The Oregon total today is 3,- 258,959 acres as compared to 3,- 231,608 acres in Washington state, where the Tree Farm id ‘a start­ ed in 1941, McClellan reported. Only Texas has more land certi­ fied as Tree Farm. The T xas total is 3,438,970 acres. Oregon’s current total lists 116 tree farms in the Douglas fir re­ gion, and 55 in the pine region east of the cascades. Tree farms are private forest lands of any size dedicated to growing timber crops as a busi­ ness, McClellan said. More than 33 per cent of all Oregon's pri­ vately-owned commercial forest land is already in certified tree farm status, he reported. FOR Adventists Name Two Delegates C S. Hanson and Mrs. Florence M Hanson were chosen recently to represent the local Seventh- day Adventist church at the bien­ nial Oregon conference session to be held July 20 and 21 at Glad­ stone Park, Oregon.
