GREATEST LUMBER CUT.

More lumber was cut in the
United States last year than in
any other year III it's history.
The enormous amount of 81, $50,
736 board feet was produced,
and the mill value Of this was
1921, ISL, 1888. In addition, there
were produced 1858, 260, 600
shingles, valued at 1914. 555,
and 3, 812, 807, 900 lhth, valued at
$11, 400, $40. On the whole, it is
safe to say that the present an
nual lumber cut of the United
States approximates 40 billion
feet, and that the total mill value
of the lumber, lath, and shingles
each year produced is not less
than 0G,OOO, 600. These figures
give some idea of how vast is the
lnmb Der industry and how great
is the demands for it's products
A glance at the kinds Of lum-
Der produced shows very clearly
the passing of white pine and
oak, one the greatest softwood
and the other the greatest hard
wood which the forest has ever
grown. Since 1899 the cut Of
white pine has fallen off more
than 40 per cent, while that Of
white oak has fallen off more
than SO per cent. To-day yellow
pine leads all other woods in
amount cut. while Douglas fir
and this will be surprise to
many-comes second. Since 1899
the cut of Douglas fir has in
creased 1856 per cent. Louisiana
is the foremost yellow pin e
State, with Texas, Mississippi,
and Arkansas following in order.
Washington produces by far the
greatest amount of Douglas fir.
A comparison of the lumber
producing States shows tn t
since 1899 there have been many
changes in their relative rank.
Washington, which in 1899 stood
sixth, now leads, while Wiscon-
sin, which eight years ago led
all others, is now third. In the
same period Oregon, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Idaho, and Califor
MIA made great strides as lumber
producing States, though, on the
other hand, the amount produc-
ed in Michigan, Wisconsin, Min
nesota. Georgia, Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Missouri, Indiana, and
Ohio fell off anywhere from 20
to "a per cent.
The highest-priced nativ e
woods are walnut, hickory, and
ash, and the cheapest are larch
and white fir. From the fact,
however, that since 1899 the ay-
erage increase in the price of
lumber has been 40 per cent, IL
will not be long before cheap
woods are few and far between.
Figures upon the lumber cut
of the United States in 1906 are
contained in Circular 122 of the
Forest Service, which can be,

ester, U. s. Department of Agri
culture, Washington, D. G.

and two on the sides. All we'll.
constructed earth roads are sup
posed to have no more than two
bitches, one on each side of the
travelled roadway. Keep the
water out of the middle of the
road by giving it crown or ele-
Walton in the center of u inches
ABOVE the top of the inner slope
OF the ditch for a 20 foot road,
and where the bills are q little
steep make the crown 10 inches.
With q crown Of about | inch to
the foot from the center to the
sides, the bitches which are often
built across the road on steep
grades to defect the water will
not be needed. Instead of car
rying water across the road in
open bitches, tile or concrete
drains should, if possible, be
provided. They should have
sufficient capacity and fall to
carry the maximum amount of
water that is expected to flow
through them at any one time.
The capacity is increased in pro
portion to the fall or grade; for
instance, II inch pipe laid on a
one per cent grade will carry
1900 gallons per minute, while
the same pipe laid on 2 per
cent grade will carry $500 gal
Ions per minute. Furthermore,
culvert laid fiat will soon fill
up, while one having good in
cline will keep itself clear.
In the maintenance of an earth
road, avoid the mistake of chang
ing the natural order of things.
Naturally the soil is found on
top and the clay on the bottom.
If this order is reversed in con-
structing a road, the result will
be less satisfactory than if the
soil be left at the top Of the road,
for soil makes a better surface to
a road than clay. If the road
bed is largely clay to start with,
it will be well to place sandy soil
or clean sand on top. A cover
ing of 6 to 10 inches of sand up
on clay that persists in breaking
up into deep mudholes will usu-
ally be satisfactory, and if sand
enough be added, this clay will
cease to make mud. If the road
bed is composed of sand it can
be improved by an application of
clay.
The rule for a serviceable
earth road, then, is as follows:
make bitches on each side and
keep them open; haul sand and
gravel upon sections needing
this treatment; use a road ma
chine and a split log drag judic
iously Ia full description Of
which will be contained III later
article); follow the s'stitch In
time" rule and give an earth
road the same careful, persistent
attention you would give your
prize acre, factory or store, and
it will pay as large profit in
proportion to your individual
outlay.

roads has BEEN ably explained

THE MAINTENANCE
OF EARTH ROADS

The u. S. Office of Public
Roads will supply this paper
with practical articles on various
features of road building and
maintenance, which will be pub
hshed from time to time. Our
subscribers are urged to give
this matter careful consideration
and are requested to forward to
this Office for transmission to
the Office of Public Roads any
practical question which they de-
sire answered relating to road
construction and maintenance.
Questions and answers will be
published by this paper at suita-
Die intervals.
(NO. l, SERIES Al
We may recognize the value of
hard and durable roads in all
parts of the country, but still the
fact remains that for a long time
to come the majority of the roads
will be composed of earth. Fur
thermore, in about nine months
out Of the year, the earth road,
if properly cared for, is reasona-
bly, satisfactory. For many agri-
cultural districts, it is the only
road at present available. Hence
these communities should set
themselves seriously to work to
learn the best methods of main
tanning earth roads and of get
ting the maximum service from
them. Prosperity comes to the
country to great extent through
the prosperity of the farmers.
This fact strongly suggests
the Importance of giving the
earth road every possible care
and attention in it's location,
drainage, construction and main
tenance.
An earth road composed OF
water holding soil should be ex-
posed to the sun and air as free
ly as possible, as comparison be-
tween the shaded and sunny por-
tions of such road will easily
indicate. This should be ac
complished by clearing a sutfici-
emit amount of trees and under
growth away from the road. 1t
must be remembered, however,
that sandy and gravelly roads
require moisture, and In these
cases some shade should be re-
tanned. Furthermore, trees are
beneficial along river banks and
on steep grades subject to wash,
ing.
Drainage is one of the most
important points to consider in
connection with an earth road.
The majority of earth roads in
all mountainous and billy dis
tricts have too much drainage.
Occasionally a road will be found
with five bitches, three in the

cool nights and where the sun
shines the longer part of the
time.
The soil and other conditions
make the Panhandle of Texas an
ideal location for the production
of sugar beets that will yield a
large per cent of sugar. 1t is
this peculiar adaptability of the
Panhandle to growing sugar
beets that has caused me to be-
come such an ardent advocate of
this profitable crop.
For nine successive years |
have grown sugar beets that
have shown yield from Is to 30
tons analyzing from l3! to II!
per cent with coetficient purity
from Is to S6. The average crop
has been about 20 tons showing
II per cent sugar and 81 per
cent purity Such beets are
worth - per ton or 500 per
acre, deduct the cost of cultiva-
ton which is $50, leaves u net
profit of so per acre.
What is now asked of the
Panhandle farmer is to plant Il
few acres of beetS this year, Civ
ing them that intelligent atten-
tion that reads success. When
these beets have been grown,
capitalists from all over the
country will come and see these
crops. This will demonstrate
that we can grow immense crops
of bcctS without irrigation, and
the result will be the erection of
factories for sugar making

Sugar BeetS in Panhandle.

At the Farmers Congress held

Groom, OF Groom. who has made
a success of sugar beet raising

be made "a highly profitable crop

die of Friday last we take the
following from his address be
fore the congress:
The sugar beet is not adapted
as is generally supposed to a
wide field of cultivation like corn
or oats. The conditions under
which they are most protitaGly
grown is where the nights are
cool and the sunshine predomi-
mates.
The cane lands of Illinois are
poor sugar beet lands, the nights
are too hot and there is too much
cloudy weather. Consequently

The most important feature

PALO DURO PARK PROGRESS.
What Was Done at Amarillo Last
Week and its Results Predicted.

Judge Haney, chairman of the
Palo Duro NATL. Park
who returned Sunday from the
three days jubilee at Amarillo
says the Park movement was
squarely launched and that moth
ing stands in the way of it's ac-
complishment except considera
bic hard work and the use OF
sufficient money to defray the
cost of an active, intelligent cam
paign of publicity, directed by
men who are not only familiar
with such work. but who have
avenues through which the gen
eral public might learn some
thing about the wonderful posi-
bilitieS of this most worthy OBJ
ject. Judge Haney returned
full of enthusiasm, the kind that
means success. Speaking Of the
Amarillo meeting and what was
accomplished, not only for the
Park proposition, but what effect
the meeting will have on the fu-
ture growth and development of
the Panhandle, Judge Haney
said:
THE Amarillo meeting was a
success. | regard the Park
movement as fairly launched.
We secured the services of J. b.
Dickinson, and if nothing more
than this could have been done |
believe the meeting would have
been a success. Mr.. Dickinson
will take the field at once as field
secretary, and will have charge
of all matters pertaining to pub
licity, etc. He will superintend
the issuance Of attractive litera-
ture that will be scattered broad
cast, and those who know him
will appreciate what its value
will mean to the Panhandle COun-
try. Not only will the National
Park be handled as it should be-.
but every other enterprise of
merit will receive his attention.
! mean that through his line of
work the entire country will learn
of this country. and the National
Park movement will indeed be-
come a live issue.
The meeting devised ways
and means whereby the Panhan-
die country might become better
known, and the people of the
several towns and cities of the
country will, ere long. realize
that we are all friends and neigh
bors, and henceforth there will
be a powerful effort, strong and
unitedly, to forge to the front
and reach a plane where the Pan
handle belongs field of Won
derful possibilities awaiting CAPT

Dickinson and other members
along lines laid down. and it only
remains for the business men
and grand patriots of Texas to
assist us in every way possible
in placing this all allimportant mat
ter before Congress at this ses-
sion. The committee has urged
every resident of the Panhandle
to write to Congressman Steph-
ems, urging him to work for the

say to the people of the Panhan-

want to repeat once more that
our work in securing the ser
vices of Mr.. Dickinson was worth
more to the Panhandle and its
people than anything else we
could have done at this stage of
the proceedings.
We intend to literally batter
down the doors of Congress- if
the Palo Duro Park and Game
Preserve should be denied us.
We have captured the Farmers
Congress who have unitedly en-
dorsed our work by appropriate
resolutions which are being mail
ed to the Congress of the L. S.
We have good reason to expect.
therefore we claim. the hearty
cooperation of every man, wo-
man and child in Texas; and we
are arranging plans by which
every school child in the forty
four counties of the Panhandle
can contribute a nickel and get
more than twice its value imme-
diately in return. Our ilIust"at-
ed booklet, descriptive of .hiS
famous canyon will soon be be-
fore the public.
The people of the Southwest
are justly entitled to a National
Park; and t.. Palo Duro Canyon
is by Nature the most remarka-
BILE and interesting canyon, or
rent in the earth that has ever
been discovered. Its walls are
tinted as if by the brush of some
great artist; the coloring effects
are grand and gorgeous, and the
inspiration which one receives
from on high as one gradually
descendS to a depth of one thou
sand feet, walled in on either
side, is worthy of travelling many
miles to see and feel
we believe that Congress will
grant the earnest prayers of the
school children of the Plains
country, whose beseechings will
ere long be heard that this Won
der spot OF the world may be Il
Pi0B-gronHd for such for all time
to come.
Prof. Chas. n. Gould of the
Geological Survey, who explored
and reported on this canyon, says
that it is a veritable depository of
geological treasures, and eX-
pressed the opinion that some
day countless millions would 90
there to study Nature and drink
at the fountain of geological
knowledge.
This romantic and pictures
que spot should be backed up by
practically every man, woman
and child in the entire South
west. Such move will be ir-
resistable with Congress; and
this Park will be accessible at all
seasons of the year, and from
every direction, and by any and
every mode of conveyance or
travel. -
