Public Revenue

Some fear that returns to the
Treasury will be lessened because
of noncompetitive sales; that county
revenues from the Is percent fund
will be reduced.
The present strong lumber mar
ket, coupled with depletion of
private timber, results in intense
competition for some national for
est timber offerings. Even now,
however, many sizeable sales are
made at appraised values, due to
lack of competitive bidding.
No important longtime reduc-
ton of public revenue is expected
as a result of non-competitive sales
of timber in sustained yield units;
but as a counterbalance to any pos
sible temporary loss in revenue, all
of the values of community stability
also must be considered. The public
good which will result from steady
pay rolls, permanent roads, and
proper management of private
lands all help local economy.
Private timber lands managed on
sustained yield mean steady tax
revenues. So do sawmills and other
processing plants which operate
steadily.

Sustained Yield
How Big?
CContinued non last weekl

Continued from last week.
Most critics picture cooperative
sustained yield units as of such
large size that only the biggest
mills and landowners can partici-
pate. The Forest Service has set no
upper or lower limits, other than
that a Unit must provide feasible
suSta ned yield forest management
On.y one cooperative Unit has
been established-Shelton. Allow
able annual cut the first 10 years is
100 million feet. Thereafter it is ex-
pecteG to be about 80 million feet
Other Units under Forest Service
consideration have allowable annu-
al cuts ranging from million feet
TO rs million. Each case is decided
on its merits Small units will be
given just as much consideration
as large ones.
How Long?
Both forests and communities are
longtime entities. Forest Service
policy is that cooperative arrange
ments shall run at least through the
first cutting cycle, but not less than
IS years Applications for short
term agreements to help amortize
plant are refused The Shelton
agreement runs for 100 years be-
cause that much is needed to bring
all the forest land under manage
ment. Other agreements under con-
sideration would run for so years
or so years. Duration is determined
in each case by local conditions.
Subsidy
Some say that cooperative agree
mentS involve a Government sub
sidy to the cooperating private own
er, because % timber will be offer
ed the cooperator at appraised
prices, without competition, ~
Forest Service appraisals include
margin for profit and risk.
The margin for profits and risk
in Forest Service appraisals is fixed
through study of performance,
stumpage prces, and financial re-
turns for all available comparable
numbering enterprises. Prices bid on
similar timber sold comparatively
affect this determination. The For
est Service profit and risk margin
on the average should give timber
operator a return for his efforts and
capital cOmparab to that of the
operator OF aVerai e efficiency IN MS
particular class of industry. Such an
allowance is clea rly not a guaran-
teed profit Under cooperative
agreements the Forest Service will
fix stumpage prices in the same
manner as it sets appraised prices
for sales advertised for competitive
bidding. Until recently only rarely
has there been any substantial bid
ding above appra ;sed prices.
The Act provides for a public
hearing on any proposed sale Of
more than $500 worth Of timber.
Such hearings must be held when
requested by ''the State or county
where the timber is located, or BY
any other person deemed to have a
reasonable interest in the proposed
sale or its terms"

has been very severe throughout
the flood area, however, little evil
dence has been found of serious soil
loss from mountain slopes.
Normal activities in the damaged
areas will be seriously retarded I'M
til repairs can be made, Hanson
said. Lack of early completion of
restoration work can be very
serious especially if a bad fire seas
on should occur before it is accom-
plished
Field inspectors noted some strik-
ing conditions, Hanson said. At
similar elevations and exposures
accumulations of snow over much
of the wild land had generally
seemed about uniform at the begin
ming of the long delayed snow melt.
However, by the peak of the high
waters such accumulationS had dis
appeared on burned-over and bar
rem slopes while on timbered slopes
much of the snow still remained,
especially in the higher mountains.
It could we'll be concluded from
their observations, they said, that
timber cover had a marked influ-
ence on rate of snow melt. They
added that while the floods this
year would have happened as a con-
sequence of climatic conditions,
there is much evidence that had all
forest lands been fairly we'll tim
bered the run-off would have been
appreciably retarded. The floods in
dictate the distinct advantage of tree
stocking as natural check to
rapid run-off.

not protected from the weather, the

as a soil builder in increasing the
organic material. In the absence
