STATE CC RAPS U.S, FOREST PRACTICES ACT The forest practices act (S. 1820) recently introduced in congress was characterized by James Mussatti, general manager of the California State Chamber ‘ of Commerce, as “one of the most far reaching attempts in American history to establish federal control of our natural resources and our economy.” “Should the forest practices act become a law, it would place nearly all of the nation’s forest and watershed areas—both federally and privately owned—under federal management, with the secretary of agriculture as chief administrative officer’, Mussatti said. An analysis of the bill, just’ completed by the state chamber, . shows the measure would: 1. Authorize the secretary of agriculture to establish and enforce forest practice rules privately owned forest areas in all states and territories where there is current or potential output of commercial forest prod-, ucts. 2. Authorize the secretary of agriculture to establish and enforce forest practice rules in privately owned forest areas located on watersheds of navigable streams, or which are so located as to affect the value of any federally owned land. “Federal acreage added to private holdings, would account for nearly 95 percent of all America’s forest ‘areas’, Mussatti.continued. ‘More than 65 percent of, the nation’s total forest acreage is in private ownership. In addition, the federal government owns nearly 30 percent. State and local governments own only about five percent. The forest practices act can easily be _ interpreted to give control of nearly all private forest holdings to the secretary of agriculture. “California contains oneseventh of the nation’s standing saw timber. The federal government already owns about 48 per cent of California’s commercial forest area. “Proponents of the measure contend that in past years, wasteful logging damaged timberlands, water supply and soil fertility. That was ‘true in earlier times. “Under the California forest practice act of 1945, a code regulates lumbering operations on all of the state’s private forest lands. These rules were drawn up by the industry under the 1945 legislation, then approved by the state board of forestry. Specific practices were different California areas and varieties. These practices are now successfully used. Several other . states have similar provisions. “However, federal authority, under the new proposal would ‘establish a national control plan with rules and penalties. The carefully prepared California forest practice act would be nullified unless the secretary of agriculture. gives approval. “Should the secretary of agriculture consider a_ state delin-. quent in executing its federally approved plan, he could, under the proposed act, order correction. If his order was not complied with within a year, the federal government might take charge of that state’s forest areas, and the secretary of agriculture could withdraw all federal financial aid to that state for forest control, flood control or other natural resources programs. “Without a specific federal permit, a landowner, under the proposal would have no freedom in managing his own holdings in excess of 40 acres in area. A fine up to $5000 could be levied against any person or firm selling forest products from any forest area the offender might ewn within the county where the alleged violation was cited. “The bill would empower the secretary of agriculture to terminate any lumber operation he believes—violateshis established rules. Enforcement. rests with federal district courts upon application of the secretary of agriculture—but the proposed law would limit federal court procedure to review of evidence from the secretary of agriculture’s hearings. “The measure proposes appointment by the. secretary of agriculture of a twelve-man national forestry board, with himself as chairman. This board would grant states three years’ time to submit forest practices for their private lands—the plans to be approved by the secretary of agriculture. It would divide the nation into administrative areas, with the chief administration officer in each area appointed by secretary of agriculture. “Cost to the federal and state governments for such a program has not been announced by its proponents. Estimates made _by private sources place the minimum at $35,000,000 annually.” in . formulated for .

It was also an opportunity for neighboring club members to become better acquainted. The guests were taken on _ tour of the garden of Mrs. A. w.4 Hoge, who has not only a lovely flower garden but a well laidout vegetable plot. Mrs. Hoge graciously served cool refreshing drinks at the end of a pleasant afternoon. Water is the all-important element in the garden this month. Pest control should be a matter of regular rouine.
