AS the list shows, the three heav-
lest freight producing crops are
cabbage, onions and potatoes. Lum-
ber is fourth. UP to the present
time timber has been cut almost ex-
clusively from wild land, without
much regard to the acres gone over.
But the time is coming when the
yield of wood per acre will be cal
culated as carefully as the yield of
corn, and as much thought will be
given to growing it, though not as
much work. How much wood
grows on an acre in year?
Some of the abused, burnt, washed
and neglected lands are producing
only little. 1t has been estimated
that the typical hardwood regions
of Tennessee, where fire is kept out,
are growing about 5000 pounds of
wood yearly per acre. Good stands
of young pines in other parts of the
country are probably doing as we'll
or better. But this is not the limit,
for foresters say woodland can do
much better under forestry methods.
Good timber must be selected. the
poor cut out, just as the farmer
plants the best kinds of corn and
rejects the poor. In Europe where
they raise crops of trees they get,
under favorable conditions, an an
nual growth of 4,500 pounds to
$500 pounds of wood per acre.
This country can do at least as well.
The freight carriers, however,
seldom transport the whole wood
growth. The waste is left in the
woods or at the mill. This is much
or little, depending upon what is
made of the wood before the trans
portation company gets it. 1t is
apparent, however, that after de-
ducting for waste, the growth of
an acre of timber furnishes more
freight than an acre of any one of
the agricultural crops except cab
bage, onions and potatoes.
The quantity of any one of these
three commodities that will go to
the market is limited by demand,
but the demand for lumber is not
diminishing. All that the forests
and planted lots can supply will go
to the market.
Woodland, under care, yields
yearly crops as regularly as wheat
fields. The marketable timber only
is cut at regular intervals, and new
growth is always coming on. AS
freight producer, timber tract
may be depended upon as surely as
a potato field. In fact, it is surer;
for land in farm crops wears out
unless constantly fertilized, but
timberland fertilizes itself with its
leaves, and becomes richer. 1t will
yield undiminished crops forever.
Trees grow on rough land where
agriculture cannot profitably be
carried on, and the freight and
other returns from such regions are
largely clear gain since such land
would otherwise be producing little
or nothing.

DRY FARMING CONGRESS

There never was movement to
uplift the semi-arid agriculturists of
the world equal to the Dry Farming
Congress and it has only begun its
real work"
This is the opinion expressed by
D. T. Getty, of Montoya, New Mex
leo, farmer who has recently be-
come a member of the Congress.
Mr.. Getty's expression is typical of
the sentiment expressed in scores of
letters received by the secretary of
the Congress from the farmers in
all parts of the West. In New
Mexico there has been a great in
crease in the interest in the work
of the Congress in the last year.
The rapid settlement of the Terri
tory and the consequent arising of
new problems, upon the solution of
which depends the success of the
settlers, has impressed the New
Mexicans with the necessity of in
vestigation of soil conditions, eli
mate, agricultural methods and
seeds. This is the work of the Dry
Farming Congress which will hold
its fourth session at Billings, Mon
tana, October 1928.
The Congress recently sent Prof.
E. j. Iddings, of Colorado Agri-
cultural College, into the Southwest
in the capacity of field commissioner
to investigate the local conditions.
Prof. Iddings found many of the
settlers in New Mexico struggling
with the problems confronting them
and laboriously evolving clues to
their solution. He carried the mes
sage of the Congress to them and
started many on the way to secure
the education that is essential to
agricultural success in any semi
arid region. Through the CONNER
cial bodies of the Territory and the
Territorial immigration Bureau in
terest is being kept up in the COM
ing meeting at Billings and delega-
tions are being organized in the
various agricultural districts with
the promise that there will be a
large number of New Mexico farm
ers present at the Fourth Dry Farm
ing Congress.

OCTOBER s, 1909.
THE COUNTY FAIR

The first annual Graham County
Fair has been held and while the
results have not been all that might
be expected, the fact remains that
county fair can be held each year,
with the strong probability that in
the future they will prove to be the
most interesting events for our peo-
pie to look forward to.
A fair to be successful in every
particular must have the entire sup
port of the people in the commun-
ity in which it is sought to bring
out all that is best on the farm,
the dairy, and in the breeding of
fine horses.
In this part of Graham County
we have some of the finest bred
horses that can be found anywhere
in the country, and owners that are
ambitious to improve their blooded
stock. The stock parade both days
Of the fair showed great improve
ment over the stock that was ex-
hibited in the horse show of several
years ago, and there is no doubt
that the Gila Valley has some of the
most enthusiastic horsemen that
can be found anywhere.
The racing events each day were
very successful as well as interest
ing to those who attended the fair,
and the time made was excellent.
The exhibition of fruits, vege.
tables and dairy products was not
as large as the fair managers ex-
pected it would be, but everything
that was sent for exhibition had it's
value in proving that the people
were willing to do all they could to
bring out and show the public the
result of their industry on the farm
and in the orchard.
What is needed now is to start in
at once and prepare for the annual
fair to be held next fall. 1t has
been proven that a fair can be held,
and the next one should be on
larger scale; should include ex-
hibitions of farming implements,
dairy machinery and everything
else in the way of improvements
and economics in the farming in
dustry, which is the real industry
of this section of Graham County.

The last issue of George Crosby's
Paper contained an article which
stated that parents meeting had
been held at Stafford school house,
and that in an address by Superin-
tendent Woods he had stated that
the attendance of Stafford children
had been so poor that the district
had lost $500 in funds it would
have drawn with a perfect attend
ance.
The parents meeting was held at
the school house in Layton and not
at Stafford. Superintendent Woods
remarks about poor attendance was
in reference to the Layton school
and not of the Stafford school, which
had most successful year in at
tendance.

greedy companies that have been
trying through dummy entries to
get control of coal lands ano forest
lands will have ample resources and
able attorneys with which to push
their ingenious claims. If Mr..
Pinchot in his zeal for the public
welfare should ever through error
do injustice to any private claimant
there is no danger that such a claim
ant would fail to get his hearing
both with administrative officers
and also in the courts. The cold
fact is that it is the government and
the public interests that have been
despoiled; and it is very far from
the truth to say that private and
local interests have been sacrificed
in the pressing forward of the So
called Roosevelt and Pinchot policies.
The forest resources of the Indian
reservations had been turned over
to the Forestry Bureau for admin
istration. Mr.. Ballinger, as Secre-
tary of the Interior, on legal
grounds, withdraws this work from
Mr.. Pinchot's supervision. If In
dian agents can be found who will
administer forests better than the
members of the Forestry Bureau,
then this decision will be acceptable.
But the country will not be ready
to believe that the Forest Service is
badly run, or that Pinchot should in
any way be discredited. His work
is necessary, and demands support.

Reviews for October.

PINCHOT, PCBLIJ SERVANT


The greatest champion of the
policy of conservation of resources
that the country has produced is
Mr.. Clifford Pinchot, chief of the
Forestry Bureau of the Agricultural
Department. Mr.. Pinchot's work
for the public welfare is so indie
fatigable and his character and mo-
tives are so high that nobody but a
fool or a knave would venture an
attempt to disparage either the
man or his work. 1t is the belief
of the country that in the matter
of conserving public resources the
Government should not be put in

ABIG FREIGHT PRODUCER
Lumber Figures As One Of
the Greatest Com
modities

Lumber is one of the chief freight
commodities produced by land. Its
weight per acre surpasses corn, bar
ley, oats, wheat and rye.
Few people are aware of the care
used by railroads in keeping tab of
the productiveness of land along
their lines from the standpoint of
the amount of freight produced by
various crops. Heavier the crops
per acre, the more business for the
railroads. Nor are there many
people who think of lumber as a
crop, and one of the most import
ant crops at that, which contributes
a large share of the freight busi-
ness of railroads.
The quantity of freight produced
by a crop depends upon soil, region
and kind of crop. Railroads figure
it from that point of view. Their
profit depends upon tonnage and
class, and they want to know what
crop pays the carrier best.
Many averages in many localities
are necessary to reach reliable re-
suits. Care is necessary, too, in ap-
plying to one region the figures OBJ
tanned in another. Indiana, Illinois
and Kentucky are the center of a
vast productive region, and the
averages there possess as much
value as those of any part of the
country, but, of course, they cannot
be applied everywhere, An acre is
credited with yield as follows:

WATCHING TIE CORPORATIONS.

The following is from tie s:ways
conservative Savannah Morning !
News:
1T is stated in our Atlanta dis
patches that some Of the members
of the house are opposed 10 biennial
sessions because they think the leg
islature ought to meet every year at
a cost to the people of $4,000 for
the purpose Of watching the corpora
tions. According to their view the
money is well spent if nothing else
is done than keep an eye on the cor
porations i is rather remarkable
that the people don't seem TO be in
such dread Of the corporations as DO
few politicians. May it not be that
this manifestation Of fear Of corpora
tions is political capital rather than
desire to save the people from be-
ing robbed by them? This question is
worth more than a passing thought.
All except FIVE states have abolished
annual sessions. Are not the people
Of the forty three states which have
adopted biennial sessions in just as
much danger from corporations as
are the people Of Georgia? They,
however, don't seem TO be the least
afraid As far as We are able to OBJ
serve they save $4,000 or more in
each state every two years and are
just as well OFF as are the people OF
the FIVE states which cling to annual
sessions. That would seem to be a
convincing argument against the po-
sition that the legislative session is
needed every year to watch the cor
porations
But cannot the Legislature. if it
has only biennial sessions, guard the
people efectually against the corpor-
ations? Can't it when in session
make laws that VIII keep the corpor-
ations within safe limits for two
years? What, for instance, is the leg
islature going to do this year fer the
protection Of the people against cor
porations? As far as we are allie to
see It doesn't propose to do anything.
i And as far as we know there is moth
ing in the way Of protection against
them demanded. Therefore so far as
the corporations are concerned the
/ present session could haze been dis
pensed with.
Our interest in this mattel-the
matter of biennial sessions-is that
of the people 1t is to s;ve. If pos
sible, $4,000 every two years. Thi,
money is needed by the public
schools, and some Of it is needed b!

why it should be paid out to meI
