New Forest Service Experiment Station

Immediate establishment at Missoula of the "Northern Rocky Mountain Forest and Range Fxperiment Station," undei which will be consolidated all research work for Region One, has been announced by Evan W' Kelley, Regional Forester for the U. S. Forest Service.

The value of investigative work in solution of administrative as well as technical problems of the Forest Service is now widely recognized, aicording to Major Kelley' This fact, together with-increased appropriations which permit expansion of the investigative Program have made it necesiary, he said, to gather all this work together and place it under one head.

The reorganization will make no radical changes in,personnel of those investigative units which have been functioning in the past, it is stated. R. H. Weidman will continue in charge of all forest management studies as heretofore. M. I. Bradner, in addition to handling his investigative work in forest products, will take charge of the newly authorized Region One "Forestry Survey" proj99! to which he was recently assigned by the Forester at Washington, D. C.

Additional work made possible by increased appropriations will include, according to Forest officials, expansion of the much needed investigations in forest fire protection problems and research along lines involving grazing, including methods of utilizating forest ranges and of handling livestock. This latter work will, it is said, be confined, for the present at least, to such projects as can be handled in co-operation with the Bureau of Animal Industry at the U. S. Range Livestock Experiment Station, at Miles City, Montana.

"The Director of the new Northern Rocky Mountain Forest and Range Experiment Station is Lyle F. Watts," said Regional Forester Kelley. "Mr. Watts," he added, "is now a member of the Forest Service at Ogden, Utah, where he has had years of experience in the administrative and research work of that region. He has also spent some time as head of the Department of Forestry at Utah Agricultural College." The date of Mr. Watts' arrival in Region One has not yet been announced.
