Washington Farm News Silcox Saw Private Ownsrshlp Aa Major Factor in Forest Prob lem. Federal and State aid in solving problems of private forest-land own la is proposed as one way to safe guard the vital public; services such lands render, in the annual report of F. A. Silcox, Chief of the Forest Ser vice, made just prior to his unex pected death. "Privately-owned forests and prob lems facing private owners are ma jor factors in the Nation's forest I situation," the-late Chief said. "For est lands of commercial timber growing value is more than twenty times the area of Indiana. "The forests are one of our more important natural , resources," he said. vThey held control floods which take yearly tolls of human forests aiso rebuild worn*out soil* K ' . L. .. / . . And' they effect mty people who Imanufabture wd seU for by about 1,000 billion boanl feet the United States has been reduced since 1910, he said, adding that if this were available now as growing stock, and treated as a crop, it would be callable of uroducfusr on a continuous basis one-half of all the saw timber cut. in the United States in 198?,: "Forests were jtbueed in this proc 088, and although some progress has been most of tiwn are still being sbused," the report states. Silcox went on to say that three fourths of all commercially valuable forest land is privately owned, and that these owners face many serious problems. Public help in solving these problems should be given, be cause vital public interests are in volved, he said. Farm-Forest Problems II Farmer*, who own 180 mi'lion 'I acres of commercial forest land, j| have the same problems as most in- II dustrial owners, but some special JI problems are cited that, because of II | certain conditions, become of partic-11 ular importance to farm owness. II "One is that forest ownership is II more widely distributed among 11 farmers and that individual owner- I ship is generally in smaller tracts. I Cash to buy food and clothing is I greater, and this sacrifices values I Pressure to cut farm forests for I and throws unripe timber on the I market more often. Most farmers I grade, price, and manufacture for-. I est products less effectively than I larger industrial forest owners; and I it Is also more difficult for the small I owner to locate and keep profitable markets." Farm-forest cooperatives I offer distinct possibilities for solving I many of these problems. Fire Prevention Vital Charging that the public starts 75 I per cent or more of all forest fires, I and stating jhat without adequate I fire protection, "new forests may not I be established or brought to harvest, I and labor may not have forest Indus- I try jobs," the Forest Chief declared I that immediate extension of organ ized forest fire control is needed. Nearly two-thirds of the fires re ported on private lands are on lands which are still outside of organized protection districts. "Nearly two million dollars for fire control was spent last year by private agencies and individuals," says the report, "about four and a third million by the States and not quite one and, three-fourths million was direct Federal aid under the Clarke-McNary law. More than five times as much direct Federal aid to States and private agencies for for est fire control is needed." e ONE-QUARTER One-quarter of all, this country's farms now have high-line electric I service, more than twice the num- j ber of farms that had such facilities1 in 1935 when the REA was estab lished.
