Most forest road money goes for
timber access roads. This is good bust

we must also provide roads for the in
creasing numbers of our people who

Federal GOVT. MUST TAKE MORE ACTIVE
ROLE In Preserving FOREST RESOURCES
By CONG. LEE METCALF

There is evidence of a growing
part that the federal government
must shoulder a share of the load in
cooperative efforts to- care for our
timber resources.
The evidence includes President
Eisenhower's budget request for the
Forest Service during the year be-
ginning next July 1. Except for in
creasing the budget request for re-
search, the House Appropriations
Committee reported out the bill pref
ty much as it came over from the
President.
AS reported, the bill provides in
creases and decreases from this
years appropriations which are i'm
portant to Montana.
President Eisenhower proposed a
deep cut in funds for control of for
est pests. The committee approved
the cut after the Forest Service testi-
fled it will have enough money to
continue the fight against the spruce
budworm.
More than 81 million, about the
same as this year, will be the federal
share of cooperative
efforts to control forest fires, plant
trees and give in-the-woods technical
forest management advice and assist
ance to owners of small woodland
properties.
When l appeared before the COM
mittee, 1 urged substantial increases
in these three items.

state foresters for So million in

MORE FUNDS SOUGHT FOR
TREE PLANTING

l urged that the $505,000 provided
for tree planting be tripled because
this program is basic. The co-opera-
tive nurseries are the source of the
trees we need to plant the so million
acres of private forest land which
today is denuded, overcut and under
stocked. These nurseries can turn
out maximum of 500 million trees
a year. At 900 trees to the acre, this
output is enough to plant 100000
acres year. At the present produc-
ton rate, it will take 100 years to
plant the acres needing it today. And
we really are starting off with one
foot in a hole if this Congress ap-
proves a soil bank, part of which
may well be put into trees.
But here again, we are better off
than we were two years ago, when
President Eisenhower proposed that
the federal government get out of the
business of helping the states grow
tree seedlings. You recall that his
budget for fiscal 1855 didn't include
a dime for cooperation in forest tree
planting.
The farm forester program is an
excellent example Of federal-state
partnership. Cooperating states
