i ‘will be held Oct. SUSTAINED YIELD UNIT OF FEDERAL TIMBER TO START IN BIG VALLEY U. S. forest service announced it will endeavor to forestall unemployment in sawmill towns in the Big Valley area of Modoc and Lassen counties by establishing a federal managed sustained yield unit for the sale of timber from portions of the Modoc national forest. The proposed Big Valley sustained-yield unit contains an estimated 774 million board-feet of national forest timber which would. be available for sale to lumber companies, under competitive bidding, in amounts needed to maintain their operations. The unit would consist of 82,185 acres of national forest land. An advisory public hearing 19 at 10 am. in the veterans memorial building at Alturas, to give full information to the public, to obtain aid and advice of interested persons or agencies, and to provide an opportunity for the presentation of the advantages and disadvantages which the proposed sustained-yield unit will have upon the communities affected. The statement from forest service regional headquarters estimated that all of the private timber in the Big Valley area will be cut out within’ a few years, and after that the lumbering industry there will be almost entirely dependent upon timber from the national forest. “At that time,” the statement continued, _“A substantial drop in lumbering employment is likely. “Big Valley has four towns— Adin, Bieber, Nubieber ‘and Lookout—and a population of approximately 2,000. About 60 per cent of the people depend-for a living on the five sawmills in the area. “The timber to be harvested from national forest lands in the proposed unit will be advertised and sold competitively, with the requirement that it be manufactured in the Big Valley area. This will tend to maintain the economy of the dependent communities at the greatest possible level, and will cushion the shock of lessening employment and corresponding drop in. population when the private lands are cut out.” Establishment of the unit will not in any way affect privately owned timber land within the boundaries of the unit was stated. National forest timber in the proposed unit will continue available to ranchers and bona fide residents for their personal and domestic use. When timber land is managed for “sustained yield’, as it is on national forests, the land is maintained in productive condition perpetually. The annual sawtimber on the Big Valley unit would be éight million boardfeet per year for the first ten years. After that, the rate of*annual cut could be revised to refleetpossible changes in forest service tree-marking policy, un. expected loss of timber from fire or insect damage, and other faetors. An act of: congress passed in} 1944 authorizes the forest service . to establish federal sustained. yield units in order “to stabilize . communities, forest indutsries, . employment, and taxable forest wealth; to assure a continuous and ample supply of forest products; and to secure the benefits of forests in regulation of water supply and stream flow, prevention of soil erosion, amelioration of climate and preservation of wildlife.” Official County Hours To Be Set on Thursday The Nevada county board of . supervisors when it opens its reg. ular September’ session next!
