NATIONAL FOREST IN OREGON PRODUCES 36,OOO POUNDS OF
 CASCARA BARK IN 6 MONTHS
Large Demand Now in United States Whereas Formerly Went Germany and England-NIany Holnesteaders Make Living Feeling and Selling Bark.

Thirty-six thousand pounds of cas- cara bark were cut on the Siuslaw Ma tional Forest in Oregon, during the latter half of last year, according to the governments foresters. "A steady demand for this bark for medi- ciBal purposes, both inI the United States and in Europe, is reported to /exist Before the war most of the exported product went to England and Germany.
 The cascara bark industry began, it is asserted, in California about 1885, and for many years California led in the -prod oductfon of bark, export ing as much as 50,00O pounds in a, single year. Now western Oregon and to a lesser degree western Wash 1Egton are the chief sources of supply. Th-, forest experts say that the de- structive methods usually pracdced in Obtaining the bark have resulted in almost exterminating the cascara tree on privately owned land, leaving the National Forests as the last avail able source of supply.
 The tree from which cascaIas bark is, obtained is variously known as cascara, chittifn, and bearberry- It ] is said that bears are very fond of the black berry-like fruit which the tree produces and sometimes scratch the bark badly in climbing the trees to secure it. The bear-scratched trees are so difficult to peel that they are frequently left by the bark. gatherers

thus providing a few seed trees to help perpetuate the species.
 Most of the cascara bark is peeled by settlers and small ranchers in the regions where it grows The peeling Kseason opens in April and closes when the bark begins to tighten in August. Bark obtained on the National For ests is cut under methods that pro videi for a future supply. Stumps six inches high are left with the bark undisturbed. These sprout readily and produce new trees. The bark Is taken off the tree in as long strops as possible, spread canvas or other material to keep it off the localities it is no unusual sight to see the ranchers' fences and smaller buildings covered with the drying bark.
 It is said that peeling and selling cascara bark has furnished many a
 poor homesteader with the grub stake necessary to keep him going while he getting land cleared and ready for cultivation. Fifteen years ago the bark was still pentiful and worth ten to twenty cents a pound, which meant a good profit for the bark gatherer. For the last seven years the price has\ been from 3 1-2 to 6 cents per pound at Portland, so the ranchers have lost much of their interest th bark peeling, and only en- gage in it when nothing better is in si igIt.
