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-

Biggest Rubber Tree of All.

What is believed to be the largest
rubber tree in the world stands in the
Brazilian territory of Acre, on the
frontier of BOLIVIA. It's stem is 81 feet
2 40 inches in circumference at the
base. For 120 days every year this
colossus gives % pounds of rubber

about $4,000, to its owners, a fam

TO IMPROVE AMERICAN WOOL

7 J
If American woods were sent to
market graded and put up as attrac-
lively as are Australian woods, it is
estimated that an increase I'm price of
as much as 3 cents a pound might be
received by the grower. Wool grow
I ers. dealers. and manufacturers gen
orally admit that the American sys-
TEN Tor lack Of SYSTEM is 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 pound
upon woods selling az from 10 10 80
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 L. S. department of agriculture
has prepared a 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
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 manufac-
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" Skirting is
the removal from the fleece of that
part of the wool shGrn 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 APP
pearance and uniform character of the
body wool
Quite frequently the bodies of Aus
tralian fleeces are held together by
roll twisted from the fleece itself and
which serves to keep the fleece intact
while being placed in the bale and aft
er the bale is opened at the market,
thus avoiding possibility of injury
from the use of unsuitable Irvine.
Only a small proportion of Ameri-
can wool growers separate their wool
into grades before sacking for ship
ment. Unless the flock is of very uni
form character the sacks of wool must
be opened at the warehouse and their
contents graded before being offered
for sale. Skirting is never done in
America and on the majority OF
ranches the tags or dung locks are
left with the fleeces.

cause he expected to make bumps or
obtain his blue. but because his college
second crew had need OF him. Since
then he had worked for five years In a

hundred pounds a year. and only the
