in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary of Agriculture may allow merchantable timber to be cut on land added to the Rogue River National Forest. This is only allowed if cutting won't hurt water quality or supply. Sale proceeds go into the same special 'Oregon and California Land Grant Fund' used for other reverted lands.

If the Secretary of Agriculture finds that merchantable timber can be cut without harming the purity or reducing the supply of water, the Secretary may allow that timber to be sold. This applies to land added to the Rogue River National Forest by the Act of June 4, 1936, chapter 494, section 1, 49 Stat. 1460 — land whose title had reverted to the United States under the Act of June 9, 1916. Timber sales on this land must follow the Secretary of Agriculture's usual rules and regulations for the national forests. All proceeds from these sales must be deposited in the United States Treasury, in the special "Oregon and California Land Grant Fund" referred to in section 10 of that 1916 Act, and must be disposed of the way that Act directs.
