N0OttlOt Problems.

The farm woodlot problem is n very
important one. 1t is the problem of
making the woodlot pay. Farmers
can no more afford TO keep Improbable
land than they can afford to keep un-
profitable COWS. Idle land which is not
growing more valuable is like Il boarder
In the dairy herd: il eats up part of the
profit made elsewhere. Good farm
management may or may not call for
the opening of AN actual book account
with the woodlot. but every good farm
CT needs to know ut the close of the
year whether he is richer or poorer for
his timbered land.
II costs money to hold land. Every
acre means carrying cost. The tenant
farmer pays this cost in rent. The man
who works his own farm should be able
to earn at least rent and wages. If
he sold the farm and put the money
in a good savings bank IT would yield
him yearly income without the lifting
of a finger. His farm is an investment.
1t should be a paying investment A
bank which paid no interest would be

which does not yield its owner and

States and in foreign countries. 1t is

and is easily constructed
Drags are often constructed OF
planks instead of logs. The plank
should be strengthened along the mid
