GRASsROOTS
By Wright A. Patterson

THE SUPREME COURT decided
by the narrow margin of one
vote that, despite the practices of
more than 100 years, the tdelands
from which vast quantities of oil
are being extracted, e-e the proper
ty of the federal government and
not of the states. Unless this deci-
sion is corrected by definite and un-
mistakable Legislation by congress,
it means severe loss of revenue to
several states. including California
and Texas.
The idea originated in the So
ciaIistic mind of Harold Ickes,
and it was in keeping with
President Humans welfare
state program. Congress passed
the legislation needed to pre-
vent the consummation of the
seizure, but the President We
t0ed it. A new bill is now before
congress, which. if passed and
vetoed. can be passed over a
veto, as more of the states
realize the tidelands seizure
may be but prelude to the
seizure of other natural re.
sources now belonging to the
states. What is proposed in the
bill now before congress is to
give to the states quit claim
deed for all the natural re-
sources within the boundaries
Of each, including the coastal
waters, SO the federal govern
ment could not repeat the seal
Ickes attempted, and with the
support Of the supreme court

PRODUCTION OF TIMBER
Nations Timber, Forage Output
Increased by Extensive Research

Uncle Sans foresters are work.
ing harder than ever devising new
ways to produce more timber for
defense and to increase the forage
production of the nations range
lands.
In 81 research centers, 1O2 ex-
perimental forests, and IA expert
mental ranges forest service re-
search men are conducting many
different studies.
At the Fort Valley experimental
forest in northern Arizona re-
searchers discovered that the
growth rate of ponderosa pine can
be doubled if stands are cut light
ly every 10 to 20 years rather than
cut heavily every 40 to go years.
Kidding southern pine stands of
overlapping hardwoods pays off,
the research center at Crosset,
Ark, decided. Ten years ago they
cut or girdled all hardwoods two
inches and up in diameter on an
experimental plot. Growth of the
released pines has been so rapid
that thinning out was made this
year.
The control of forest fires has
long been part of the Forest
Service research program. Methods
Of determining the fire danger each
day have been worked out and are
used regularly by forest administra-
tors to help them judge how many
men need to be on fire duty each
day and how many men they need
to send to the fires that occur.

now be terminated, and the federal
government now lease these fields
to other oil producing companies,
it would result in a battle royal in
the courts, that would clog court
calendars for years to come. It is
certainty that the present holders
of these oil leases, made with the
states in good faith, and in which
many millions for drilling and
equipment has been invested, will
not merely move out and sacrifice
their investments without a fight
to the last court. They can hope
that the supreme court might
change its narrow margin verdict
should congress not pass the need
ed legislation that would restore
those coast oil fields to their right
full owners, the states Should con-
gress not do so it is only a step to
another socialistic seizure of state
properties, effecting practically all

us. forest researchers report
that bugs and disease take a
far greater toll of timber than
fire. They are in constant
search of means of protecting
the nations forests.
BUGS AND DISEASE take a
bigger toll of timber than fire.
At the Institute of Forest Genetics
in Placerville, Calf, geneticists are
producing trees that will resist
disease and insects. They have de-
veloped cross between the JEFF
frey and Coulter pines that with
stands attacks from the pine re-
production weevil. A cross between
eastern white pine and Himalayan
pine show great resistance to Bills
ter rust.
In working toward a better range,
forest service technicians have TAX
en- abandoned farmland that was
dead loss and converted it to pro-
ductive grazing land. On idle fields
near the Bitterroot Valley of Mon
tana foresters used a preparatory
crop method of seeded prepara-
ton. They planted wheat or barley
the first year. Then they sowed
crested wheatgrass in the grain
stubble. This method Of planting
controlled the troublesome cheat
grass that often causes failures in
reseeding such ranges and also
netted profit of $4.55 an acre.
Water runof experiments have
been conducted at many research
stations. At the Coweeta expert
mental station in North Carolina
research men have studied the ef-
fects of various types Of timber
cutting and land use on the flow
of water. They have discovered
that the streamflow from a water
shed can be materially increased
by removing those trees which
waste great deal Of water in
Transportation. They are also rum
ming a small farm to see what ef-
feet traditional hillside farming has
on water runoff and soil erosion.
To aid industry the Forest Prod
ucts Laboratory at Madison, Wise,
developed a new process for pulp
ing hardwoods which is simpler and
less costly than the chemical pulp
ing processes. They found that over
matue Douglas-fir timber infected
with pitting called white pocket
can be used for construction pur-
poses.
Other forest service researchers
conduct surveys of forest lands to
determine how much timber is
available in this country. Their re-
ports have been valuable to the
National Security Resources Board
in determining what forest resources
are available for national defense.
The reports have also aided wood
using industries in finding suitable
locations near raw materials.
The work of the research forest
ers is vital not only in the defense
program but also in everyday liv-
ing. Their findings are the prop
erty of the American people. Re-
search foresters welcome visitors,
issue free publications and make
their studies known through national
forest administrators, extension
sevice workers, state agencies, in
dustries and farm foresters.
