changed. People in the country work
harder and are more intent upon i'm
mediate home affairs than in the past.
Change Of activities and faces is a ne
cessity. Rest for them is in a crowd
and the sight Of unaccustomed things.
II they cannot go to the city, then they
ask to have the things city people see
brought to them to take in along with
friends and neighbors.
This demand for out and out new
ness and novelty brings the show and
the no%naSricultural exhibits to the
county fair. Socially the gathering
partakes of the nature Of old home
comings. Interest and pleasure may
combine SO as to draw the young who
want to go everywhere and the aged
who go but seldom on one stage to
swap experiences and tales Of old
times. Following this tendency, the
county fair can become an uplifting
agency for all that falls within the
range Of country life.

restricted exploitation Of u forests
in the past has already had serious
effects, and it will have much worse
II allowed to continue unchecked"
The remedy suggested is on the prin-
ciple of "a stitch in time saves nine"
An equilibrium between timber pro-
duction and consumption should be
established through many years Of
vigorous effort by individual forest
owners, by the states and by the ma
tional government" Future rate of
consumption cannot be judged by the
past. There are more consumers, and
about half of the old work must soon
be rebuilt. But, while reasonable con-
servation is advisable. 1t is more than
probable that future construction will
depend less upon timber than past
construction. Both sides Of the ques-
ton will be looked at.
