PROPOSES new
FOREST PLANS

WASHINGTON - Acting Chief
Earl Clapp, of the U. S. forest
service, proposed a broad. federal
state forestry program to improve
and protect forest resources.
Clapp told a senate agricultural
subcommittee that formulation of
an intelligent, carefully-conceived
forestry program Is of tremendous
Importance to national economy.
He said a nationwide forestry
program would help solve prob
lens Of rural poverty and unem-
ployment, in addition TO creating
added security and stability for
families. communities, industries
and labor. He recommended:
Amendment of the Clarke
McNary act to increase au-
thorized federal expenditures in
cooperation with states and pri-
vate owners from s2,50o,000 to
$4,000, 900 annually.
0-Cooperative protection against
4 forest insects and diseases.
Frequent surveys, he said, will
help to locate incipient epidemics.
which cost the nation millions of
dollars in damage each year.
"a county forester organiza-
- ton, to be financed on a $3.50
basis with states.
H-Benefit payments to farmers
for improved forest practices.
E-Distribution of forest tree seed
- and planting stock at not
more than cost to industrial forest
land owners as well as to farmers.
Establishment of cooperatives
" for small farm and other for
est landowners to stimulate better
management and higher timber
prices.
7-Extension of public credits to
owners of forest lands. to pre-
vent their dependency on the need
of private liquidation.
