was a meeting on the Caceres planta-

This was the declaration of Profes-

Chicago before the study class of the

with big investments in manufacturing
plants, it is absolutely imperative that
they maintain growing supply of tim
Der sufficient to keep running at their
full capacity. This is especially true
of pulp companies, which have the most
expensive manufacturing plauts, and it
is the reason why these concerns have
taken an advanced position in conserva-

1t would appear at first that the
present methods of numbering are not
short sighted for the man who intends
to give up his land and go out of bust
ness, as soon as it is stripped. This,
however, must be considered strictly as
a business proposition. Can he get
more for his small growth by cutting it,
or by selling it standing? Every lum-
herman knows that there is compare
lively little profit in removing small
trees which require thirty or forty to
make thousand board feet. In many
cases the profit from such trees is less
than fifty cents per thousand board
feet. Often times that number of small
trees in we'll located clumps scattered
over an acre would make the difference
in selling price of land of from 81 to S.
per acre. The United States Forest
Service recently won damages of S12 ar
acre for the destruction of immature
trees by fire, and more and more as
time goes on will such growth have a
sale value standing, far in excess of its
present merchantable value.

article | have shown that present
methods of numbering are short sighted
as well for the lumbermen as for the
public. Many lumbermen are now be-
ginning to adopt advanced methods, and
the State forest service is always ready
to advise as to the best methods of
maintaining permanent growth.

A GRANGE ENTERPRISE.
Tho Patrons Cooperative Bank OF
Oiathe, Kan. Successful


One of the soundest financial institu-
tons in Kansas is the Patrons Co
operative bank at Olathe. This is said
to be the only strictly grange bank in
the United States. q bank in which
every stakeholder is granger and
none but members Of the order can
hold stock in it. There are many
banks, however, in which Patrons are
the majority of the stockholders, but
this bank can boast of being purely a
Patrons bank.l Olathe is surrounded
by eighteen subordinate oranges which
make possible this condition, and these
people look upon the bank as their
most successful cooperative enter
prise.
The bank was organized in 1888 with
an authorized capital of $4,000, about
half of which was paid up. After the
present banking laws. which require
the capital to be paid up in full, the
bank was reorganized with fully
paid up capital of $4,000 1t now has
accumulated surplus fund of $4,000.
and its stock sells at premium of
300 per cent and is hard to get at that.

holder being entitled to one vote re.
CARELESS of the amount Of stock he
holds. The stockholders number about
$50. and individual holdings are limited
to ten shares. Ninety per cent of the
Patrons of the surrounding community
patronize the bank, and 40 per cent of
the banks business is with farmers.
Half its accounts are held by persons
not Patrons, a fact that shows the
confidence the people have in the in.
stitution. No panic or financial dis,
turbance has been able to bother it in
the least. Such, in brief, is the story
Of one of the greatest enterprises op.
