All Must Have Licenses.

County Clerk A. L. Nichols is pre-
pared to issue hunting licenses made
necessary by an act of the Legislature,
which goes into effect August "a. On.
der this law every person who hunts in
the state, whether a resident or non.
resident, must obtain hunting license
and pay fee of $l.0O to hunt. except
on his own enclosed land. Carrying a
gun off ones property is considered
evidence that the person carrying II Is
hunting. according to the new law. AS
there are many persons who hunt email
game near their homes, it Is expected
that the number of these new licenses
issued will be large.
For the privilege of hunting small
games, aliens and non-resideuts must
pay hunting fee of $40 and for deer
$25. A special license of $40 for hunt
ing beaver is also charged and required
by the provisions of the new law.
Licenses are issued to the county clerks
of the state through the game wardens
Office instead of through the secretary
of states as heretofore, but this makes
no difference to the person securing the
license as each county clerk will furnish
the special license.

MARKETING OF FARM TIMBER
= orest Service Says Ignorance Of
woodlot Owners Often Costs Thorn
Dearly,

Forest Service Says Ignorance o
Woodlot Owners Often Costs Then
Dearly.
Washington, Aug. 1S.-The market
ing of farm timber presents some of tn,
same difficulties, but in an aggravated
form. that the farmer meets in sellinl
other crops, says Forest Service con
tribution to the Year Book of the De
partment of Agriculture, just issued
The farmer finds it hard to get enough
for his timber. Most farmers now sell
their saw timber on the stump to a mil
man, such sales ordinarily being made
for lump sum. The mill man, ex
perienced in estimating, goes through
the woods and sizes up the quantity and
value of the timber he wants. The
owner, being a farmer and not lum.
herman, seldom knows anything about
estimating timber and has only the
vaguest idea of what it ought to bring.
The consequence of this condition is
that the farmer often receives. only a
small fraction of the actual market
value of his stumpage.
Astonishing examples of what far.
mer may thus throw away are often
encountered by foresters. continues the
article. For instance, Massachusetts,
farmer sold a million feet of timber to
portable sawmill man for $1,000 and
thought he had obtai ne d good price
His neighbor, however, who knew
something about timber, got 81, 900 for
the same quantity of white pine from
the very same portable mill men. The
first farmer, on account of his ignor.
ance, practically presented the mill man
with $500; the second owner was wise
enough to learn before he attempted to
sell his timber how much he had and
what it ought to bring him in money
The productive capacity of the 200
million acres of farm lands throughout
the country which either have or should
have timber growing on them is enor'
nous, says the article. This area is
larger than all the national forests PUT
together. and with an annual growth
of 200 broad feet per acre of saw tim
ber-a moderate allowance under the
practice of Foresight would produce
annually forever about 40 billion feet
or the equivalent of the entire lumber
cut of the country, in addition to not
less than 100 million cords Of firewood
These figures, continues the article,
probably never will be realized, for the
reascn that the present area of farm
woodlands is much greater than it will
be eventually. For example, wood
land comprises 81 per cent of the entire
farm area of the south, and undoubted.
ly much of this land will be put to
other uses than timber growing
Nevertheless. the farmers of the United
States now own at least $50 billion feet
of saw timber and Ii billion cords of
cordwood. and this timber should pro-
duce a substantial part of their in.
comes. Farmers ought to make the
most of their timber, and the public
should be interested in this question
for the reason that the vast aggregate
of farm timber should be available to
supplement the other sources of the
general supply.
