OREGON STATE FORESTER VOLUME XIII Corvallis, Oregon, January, 1960 Number 1 Forest Research Budget Developments With 1959 a legislative year, pressures for planning of conferences and preparal ion of budgets were heavy upon us until July. This was the first time an opportunity was pro­ vided to re([llest state appropriations for for­ est research as part of the budget of the Ag­ ricultural Experiment Station. Numerous outlines of research projects iu fores t man­ agement, silviculture, products, watershed management and in the basic science fields of insects, diseases, soi ls and seeds were pre­ pared early in the year and 1hei r budgets were drawn. Numerous 111 eetings, con fer­ ences and hearings ensued with administra­ tive authorities and lcgislalive committees throughout the spring and early summer. Reactions of the legislature to increased appropriations for the biennium a re now well known. Although appropriations specif­ ically for forest research were less than one­ tenth of requests, so111c ground was gained in merely being written into the overall agri­ cultural research budget. At present we are also hopeful that in ­ creased fed eral funds may materialize for next uscal year to expand the curren t pro­ George W . Peavy grams in forestry and water-soil research areas.
