SANTA ROSA FOREST
LANDS CLASSIFIED
SEGREGATION OF NoN-AeRicuL-
TURAL LANDS NEARING CON-
PLErioN BY FOREST RANGER
W. S. KALBAueH.

The land classification work on the
Santa Rosa National forest, in Hum
boldt county, Nevada. to which Forest
Ranger w. s. Kalbaugh has. been as,
signed, will be completed, according to
present plans. about July 1.
The work now being carried on b!
Ranger Kaibaugh consists of the seq
regation of those lands within the for
est which are clearly non-agricultural
in character. All lands of known or
possible value for agricultural pur-
poses, will be left for the intensive
classification which will follow direct
ly after the extensive classification
now being made. The final or inten-
sive classification will be conducted
by the forest service, in cooperation
with the Bureau of Soils, which will
furnish a soils expert for the work.
Ranger Kalbaugh will be kept on the
work until its completion.
The classification of all public lands
within the national forests was author.
lied by the Act Of congress dated Aug.
ust 10, 1912, and has for its purpose
the elimination from the forests of all
lands chiefly valuable for agriculture.
Before the passage of this act, agricul.
tural lands within the forests were
eliminated through the operation of
the Forest Homestead Act of June IL,
1906, in tracts of not to exceed 16O
acres each, upon individual applica.
tion. While, under this act many thou.
sands of acres within the forests have
been listed, opened to entry and filed
upon. the classification act( through
classifying definitely all lands within
the forest boundaries, accomplishes
more speedily the desired result ;
namely, the making available for ag
riculture all areas within the forests
chiefly valuable for that purpose.
On the Nevada forests steady pro
gress is being made in this classified
tion work, with completion in sight.
