BIG LuMsER SALES.

More than 1000, 100000 board feet
of timber, with value of $4,000, 900
on the stump. was sold since 1913 BY
the department Of agriculture. This IL
an increase of 1877 per cent over the
sales OF the preceding year. The tim
Der sold was largely for future cutting
under contracts that will run for
number of years. The actual cut was
little less than SOC. 900, 900 board feet,
an increase Of Is per cent over 1912.
Still larger sales are in prospect.
The timber sale policy Of the forest
service is summarized as aiming first
OF all to prevent losses by fire, and
secondly to utilize the ripe timber
which can be marketed Other aims
are: to cut so as to insure restocking
and forest permanence; to get the full
market value for the timber sold; to
prevent speculative acquisition and
private monopoly Of public timber and
to maintain competitive conditions In
the lumber industry so far as posi-

TO IMPROVE AMERICAN WOOL.
II American woods were sent to
market graded and put up as attrac-
lively ~ are Australian woods. It Is
estimated that an increase In price OF
ss much as 8 cents q pound might be
received by the grower. Wool grow
ers, dealers. and manufacturers gem

tenn Tor lack OF SYSTEM 10 very bad,
and at the annual meeting Of the Ma.
tional Wool Growers association IN
Salt Lake City, Utah, considerable
interest was shown In the proposal to-
adopt the Australian method Of put
ting up wool. Three cents q pound
upon woods selling at from Is to 30
cents pound is very high percentage
Of loss which can and doubtless will
be prevented by growers in the future.
The growers gain in this particular Is
in no way opposed to the interests OF
the dealers or manufacturers.
The bureau OF animal industry Of
the q. 8. department OF agriculture
has prepared collection Of American
and Australian woods for use In educa-
tional work in this direction. This ex-
hibit includes samples of various
grades of wool, showing how grade
and value may be determined by fac
tors under the control Of the sheep
raiser. s@
Australian and New Zealand woods
are graded or "classed" at the time Of
shearing They are also shipped In
bales instead of sacks. The wool
classers" who do their work at the
shearing plant are familiar with the
basis of grading, wool for manufacs:
turers' uses. No bale contains more
than one grade Of wool, and any one
bale is a true representative Of others
OF the same grade shorn from the
same flock. In many instances the
fleeces are also "skirted." Shifting Is
the removal from the fleece Of that
part Of the wool shorn from the legs
and belly. Such skirtings contain
most of the dirt and foreign matter
present in the fleece and when baled
and sold separately bring their actual
value and do not detract from the ap-
pearance, and uniform character OF the
body wool. 49, r. '-fs
Quite frequently the bodies Of Aus
tralian fieeces are held together by q
roll twisted from the fleece itself and
which serves to keep the fleece intact
while being placed in the bale and aft
ct the bals Il opened at the market,
thus avoiding possibility Of injury
from the use Of unsuitable Irvine.
