greater Importance, they secure a uni
form quality of materials at a uniform
price, enabling them to produce ma
chimes of the highest quality at a mint
mum cost.
And that's why the discriminating
farmer buys the International line.
The matter of lumber is of special
Importance, for this country is threat
ened with a lumber famine, the nature
of which is appalling when we stop to
consider it.
The consumption of lumber increases
every year; the supply, according to the
best authorities, decreases at the rate of
3 per cent per annum, and the price
consequently jumps from I per cent to
5 per cent every year. No. 3 pine, for
instance, in June, 1896, sold for $6.75 per
thousand feet; in June, 1904, only eight
years later, it sold for $3.50, and other
lumber has advanced accordingly.
The great harvester companies, real
izing that it is only a question of time
until the lumber problem will be one
of the most serious confronting the
manufacturer, ipaugurated several years
ago a policy in keeping with what they
are doing in iron, steel, coal and coke
that is, to become entirely independent
of the lumber markets by securing a
source of supply of. their own.
Their timber lands in the famous St.
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1905-04-04

the average output is $4,000 feet per
day.
On both tracts, tramways, canals, and
every modern facility for the conom-
ical handling of logs and lumber are
provided.
The entire output of both tracts, after
it has been properly air-dried, is used
by the plants of the International Har-
vester Company in manufacturing har-
vesting machines and agricultural imple-
ments.
But the most important feature of
the company's lumber operations is this /:
All timber is cut in strict accordance
7vith the rules of forestry. Instead of
denuding the land, only ripe trees with
well-matured, hardened wood are cut,
and the greatest care is exercised to
protect and preserve all young timber,
so that by the time the best timber is
once selected from this vast tract of
$4,000 acres-even at the rate of 2o,ooo,-
900 feet per year, the present consump-
ton of the International factories-a
new supply will have grown to a COM
mercial size.
In other words, the company by this
far-sighted policy has secured practically
a perpetual supply of the lumber neces-
sary for the manufacture of the har-
vesting machines used by the American
farmer. 1t is in position for the next

Francis Valley consist of 10000 acres
which the international Company owns
in southeastern Missouri, and $4,000
acres leased in northeastern Arkansas,
both a portion of the reclaimed "sunken
land districts"
The Missouri lands are near the new
town of Deering, which the %Internation-
al Company is making a model lumber
town, with all the advantages and COM
forts of modern life in the midst of the
forests. The land is heavily timbered
with oak, ash, elm, hickory, cottonwood,
cypress, gum, blackberry and maple. At
the principal mill here-shown in the
illustration-a daily average of $4,000
feet of lumber is cut, and IFS men are
employed at the mill and in the timber.
On the Arkansas lands the mill is
at Truman; IS men are employed and

Not because farmers could not get
some other machine if they so desired,
but simply because as careful, discrim-
mating buyers they have deliberately
chosen this line.
Their choice is based on experience.
They have found that these machines are
better constructed, and therefore will
give better service and longer service
than ordinary agricultural machinery.
And the explanation of the high quail
ity of the International line is just as
simple. 1t rests upon superior facilities
and a f~ar-sighted policy of manage
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1905-04-04

the production of raw material and the
completion of the finished product.
And by the same token they are put
ting a higher quality into their product
than any other manufacturer can put
into his and depend upon the uncertain,
unstable markets for materials.
This question of quality is at the base
of the American farmers success. 1t is
because he has always striven for better
things-for better live stock, for in
creased fertility in his land, for finer
fruit, for better methods-that he has
been able to give a new meaning to the
word agriculture.
And it is because he has given quail
ity first consideration in purchasing sup
plies that he has made money.
We ask your careful consideration of
these facts, and of the advantages Of
fered you in the International line. They
mean a saving of money, a saving Of
time and worry, and a satisfaction which
you can o obtain elsewhere.
You will probably find local dealers
in your community who represent the
international line. Each dealer under
stands thoroughly the line he sells and
carries a complete stock of repair parts.
Call upon him for catalogue and full
particulars.

generation, at least, to secure lumber of
the highest quality and is absolutely in
dependent of huctuating markets, and,
at the same time, by conserving the for
ests is not only reaping a benefit for
itself and its customers, but is serving
the best interests of the country at large.
OF course, we realize that when we
get down to brass tacks," as the saying
IS, the purchaser of a harvesting ma
chine, or of any other commodity, cares
very little about how it is produced or
where it is produced, or by whom it
IS produced-provided he gets what he
wants at a fair price.
There's no sentiment about it one way
or the other.
But that "~brovided" means much to you
as a purchaser.

what a majority of this committee
calls clay-foundation lands, and we
want the farm here to test the pro-
ductivity of our lands, so I think it
would be we'll to choose a long strip
Of land in which we would have some
sandy and some stiff or clay-founda-
ton lands so we could thoroughly
cultivate and test the productiveness
of both qualities. We want our
sandy soils analysed and tested as
much so as our stiff lands. When I
was a boy my father used to speak of
sandy lands as of no value. and while
he was a man of remarkably good
sense on most subjects, he was wrong
on this. We have some lands called
sandy by the committee that cannot

Our county is a "no-fence" county,
and that of itself makes our lands
worth double what they would be I'M
der the old fence law. Our long-leaf
pine forests are coming up thickly
and ~reforesting the land thicker than
we want it. We really need a good
forester to go over and thin them
out. and I think the business of look
ing after the tree growth on our
lying out or wood lands will pay the
owners of the lands better than any
thing we are now doing with that
land. The growth on those lands
will pay more than 6 per cent inter
est on the money that the land would
bring if sold now. and If the title
to the land is good. it is surely as
safe an investment as money in
bank.
There is a queer thing about
banks. Let a man worth n hun
dred thousand dollars advertise he
wants to borrow ten or twenty thou
sand dollars at 4 per cent and the
world thinks he is about to fail. if
not already failed. and legally his
whole estate would be bound for the
money when he borrowed as an in
vidual; but let him get a charter
and start a ten thousand capital
savings bank and advertise he want
ed to borrow all he could get from
one dollar ur to all the millions he
could get, and no one suspects he is
hard pressed: and people come and
pour in money. and in that case not
ono dollar of his hundred thousand
dollar estate is responsible except
that small amount of stock he has in
that ten thousand dollar bank. Oh

According to the latest dispatches
that have come out of Russia Count
Witte is making his force felt. His
hand is on the helm and disorders are
beginning to cease.
Emperor Nicholas has signed the
manifesto granting practical au-
thority to the Firms and it has been
dispatched to Helsinfors, where a
grave revolution was threatened, and
battleships had already reached that
port with 10000 troops to quell the
insurrection.
Count Witte has practically settled
the railroad strike by giving in COM
pletely to the strikers, with whom he
had a conference. Dispatches are brief
from the riot centers. An Odessa dis
patch says
1T is believed that the worst Is
now over. In several towns the en-
tire Jewish quarter has been devastat-
ed and the inhabitants killed or
Uounded.'
