CONSERVATION AFFAIRS
Happenings Affecting Woods Waters and Wildlife

ment ideas, reforestation, and other
conservation plans.
DR.. Diller urges an Ohio forest
conservation plan, with recommend
ed purchase of $4,000 acres of
public woodlands. He said that less
than five per cent of the area of
Butler, Clark, Clinton, Cuyahoga,
Fayette, Franklin, Wood, Montgom-
cry, Miami, Madison, and Logan
counties are in timber as contrasted
to more than 45De for Vinton, Scioto,
and Hooking counties.
He added that nearly 75eo of
Ohio's timbered areas are of little
immediate economic value because of
haphazard cutting and lack of an
effective forest conservation program.
Of the 3,707,95s acres of land in
the state now covered with forest
only 10 per cent is in high state
of productivity; an additional Is per
cent is in fair condition and can
yield reasonably good returns; the
remaining 72 per cent is in varying
stages of immaturity, he pointed
out.
In southeastern Ohio there are
100000 acres of land that could be
best reforested because there are
large areas that are SO severity erod-
ed that they are too far down the
scale of fertility to be even restored
as pasture. Diller says that the
exodus of people from these lands
has accelerated greatly and after the
war the present indications are the
land will remain in the same state OF
inactivity. In such areas sound land
use practices dictate return tc
forest cover as quickly as possible.
The cost of such acreage would
run from 50 to SO per acre which
could be purchased by the state in
cooperation with the Federal govern
ment. A great deal of necessary
planning is needed before the mach
inery can be set into motion to make
the purchases.
DIR. Diller has extended an invita-
ton to the Bluffton Sportsmen's Club
members to visit the Experiment
Station as a group after the war. He
suggests we charter bus and come
to Wooster. He will take those who
accept his invitation on tour OF
state managed acreage and you car
be sure an excellent outing awaits
all who take him up on the prop
osition.

Coming Weeks

labor, industry and government was
demanded by Local S25 and Dist. s,
United Electrical Radio 4 Machine
Workers (CIO), following a sudden
order by the Army Ordnance Dept.
further curtailing production at the st.
Louis Ordnance plant
The new order came on the heels of
a recent production cutback which
threw 1900 ordnance plant workers
out of jobs. Another 12,5OO, it is eX-
pected, will be dismissed during the
coming weeks. In a widely circulated
statement President Otto Maschoff of
Local S25 recalled that recent produc
tion cutbacks have caused job losses
to 25,5OO st. Louis workers, earning
about S53,OO0.OOO yearly.
Workers affected by the new order
are mostly UERMW members working
at the L. S. Cartridge Co, one of the
divisions of the ordnance plant. A cut
back at the McQuay Norris Co., oper-
ators of the other ordnance plant
division, is expected to result in dis
missals of $500 men and women, most
ly members of the United Auto Work
ers (CIO).
Labor leaders Immediately invited
conferences with the city administra-
| ton, the board of aldermen, the st.
Louis Committee for Economic De
velOpment and the Chamber of Com
merce, urging them to choose a dele
cation to send to Washington on behalf
of the city.
Vice President j. w. Mcconnell OF

bring additional government orders to
