February 5, 1959 ; NEVADA COUNTY NUGGET : Page 3 PE gS em os seenooreppeeennnsens stantiiv inlets FARMER’S CORNER By RICHARD JOHNSEN, Jr. Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of Calif. se 2 @ 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.
