Does Farming Pay?

AS far as making a fortune is con-
cerned farming is a slow way to ac-
cumulate money. But there are other
paying qualities in the farm that are
taken into account far too little. The
greed for money making is fast unset

Value of Woodlands.


The Pennsylvania Forestry Associa-
ton, in a recent publication, desires
every farmer, every owner of woodland,
to know:
THAT his woodlot contains valuable
crop, which it will pay him not only to
cut down and slaughter, but to manage
and utilize judiciously;
''That it is impossible to utilize the
old trees in such a manner that new,
valuable crop is produced instead Of
the inferior crop which now so often
takes the place of the virgin forest after
lndiscriminate cutting;
"That as an intelligent manager and
husbandman, he would do better to see
to natural reproduction Of his wood
lot, to cut with regard to the sponta-
Unfortunately;
''That the time has come when forest
destruction must give way to forest
management for timber is becoming
more valuable every year, as 1t grows
scarcer in the country at large;
THAT in the woodlands in proper
proportion lie, to large extent, the
conditions of favorable climate and
successful agriculture;
''That upon forest growth depend
healthfulness and equableness Of eli
mate;
THAT the forest breaks the force and
tempers the fury of the northern, and
cools and moistens the breath Of the
southern wind;
''That by it's own cooler and moister
atmosphere in summer and warmer at
mosphere in winter, it tends to equalize
temperature and humidity over the in
tervening fields;
THAT while the open, treeless, heated
prairie prevents the fall of rain allowing
moisture-laden clouds to pass over it
undrained, we must thank our forest
clad hills and mountains for our more
frequent, more gentle, more useful
showers; and, above all;
'sThat the forest cover of the noun
tains preserves the even water flow in
our springs, brooks and rivers, while
it's destruction, or even deterioration, in
creases the danger of floods, washes off
the fertile soil, and then brings down
unfertile soil into fertile valleys, lowers
the water level, and, in general, throws
out of balance the favorable conditions
for agriculture;
''That while we advocate the cutting
and using of the wood crop as we need
it. we must not any longer, as we have
done, squander and waste it; we must
not clear where clearing produces dan
ger to the surrounding country"
