SPACE AGE
We are living in a space age
with a great public interest in,
awareness of, and demand for
greater scientific development.
Travel throughout the universe
is rapidly approaching the point
of no longer being a “Buck Rogers dream,” but a stark reality.
Even though our imaginations are
taxed to the utmost by this new }
space age, we still must face the
everyday realities of life on the
Planet Earth.
Returning from outer space to
golden California, we are faced
with the startling fact that only
a few decades ago our state was
a vast, sparsely populated semiwilderness. A relative handful
of people had rugged mountains,
broad fertiic valleys and over
1,000 miles of coast line in which
to make a living and to enjoy
recreational adventures. We still
have the mountains ,the valleys
and coast line, but today we have
over 14 million people living in
our state. Many Californians feel
a real closeness to the land and
enjoy its great warmth and beauty. A large number Make their
living from the land directly
through farming, or indirectly,
through the many allied industries. Others cherish the land for
its unlimited recreational versatility. Each and every one of us
depends on the land for the production of the food and fibers we
need.
California Lands
Each minute of every day finds
one new person added to the
total population of our state and
one of the results is a periodic
shift in land use for agricultural
purposes. California farmers are
have kept up with the space age
growth in population, and tan
still boast that we lead all othe
states ‘in the Nation with our 2-3
billion dollar annual production,
“California people are not only
numerous—they are industrious
and productive. Among the statcs
in the Nation, California is first
in cash farm income, second in
the production of lumber, third
‘and most diversified) in value
of mineral production, . . Wherever people live, whatever they
do, they are inescapably dependent upon natural resources—land
water and their products.” These
few words highhlight the important research work described in
the new Dana and Krueger book
entitled “California Lands—Ownership, Use and Management.”
The book points out that California contains 100,314,000 acres of
widely differing types of land.
These lands are almost equally
divided between public and pri
vate ownership. The Federal Government owns over 47° million
acres, most of which is in mili
tary installations, national forests,
and unreserved public domain. .
The state owns 3 million acres .
in beaches and parks, schools and .
tax-deeded lands, Approximately
one-fifth of our land is classified .
as “barren and desert.” pike
one-third has value as forest and
watershed lands, while only onesixth is suitable for the cultivation of California’s farm products.
It is oftentimes hard to realize
that our great agricultural wealth
is produced on this relatively
small area of land.
All Californians should pay
tribute to the men of the SUll,
who provide a substantial portion
of the wealth of our state, and
contribute so greatly to our genversatile and adjust rapidly. They
