LAND EXCHANGE
BILL IS PASSED
PRESIDENT SIGNS BILL PROvD.
ING FOR CONSOLIDATION OF
FOREST LANDS

The consolidation of private and
public lands within the National
Forests is made possible by the pas
sage of the General Land Exchange
Bill signed by President Harding re-
Gently, providing that non-agricul-
tural private land within the boun-
daries of the National Forests which
is chiefly valuable for forestry pur-
poses may be traded for National
Forest land stumpage. Lands con-
veyed to the United States under
this exchange act will upon accept
ance become part of the National
Forests within which they are 10
Gated.
There are approximately four mil
lion acres Of private lands of this
character within the National For
ests of Montana and Idaho. Many
Of these tracts are so scattered thai
tremely difficult, and they offer al
the same time an obstacle to the ef'
ficient administration of the inter
mingled government holdings. A
pronounced benefit to both parties
to such an exchange will result ir
the blocking up of these scattered
holdings.
Exchanges are made on the basil
Of equal values, the government CIV
ing land or timber Of value eQua
to the private holdings acquired
The valuation Of exchanged land will
be determined by careful examina
ton ON the ground unless sufficien
accurate information is already Of
hand. Every safeguard will be ex
ercised to prevent injustice to an
persons exchanging land, and at tn
same time the interests of the gov
ernment will be fully protected. Al
exchanges will be passed on by tn
Secretary Of Agriculture and tn
Secretary of the Interior.
