ger of Ranch.
Proves That Boy Born and Educated
In Big City Can Take Charge Of
Farm and Make
Money at II.

Ada, Okla.-Can a boy born and
reared in a big city and educated in a
fashionable school leave the rush of
the crowds, go hundreds of miles
away, take charge of farm and
make money? Kenneth Wicket has
demonstrated that it can be done.
Wicket, who is only nineteen years
old and has been on a farm but one
year of his life. is manager of enc of
the best farms in Pontotoc county. He
is succeeding. IL success on a
farm is to be reckoned in dollars and
cents.
Wicket was born in Chicago and,
save for q time he was in school
in New York. has spent practically all
of his time in Chicago. A year ago he
came to visit on Blue Valley farm, a
farm Of 1000 acres that his father had
bought a few years before.
While he was down here the mana
ger left. Knowing little about farm
ing, but having plenty Of nerve and
the determination to win, Wicket
tackled the job himself and has been
with 1t ever since.
The mixed breed of hogs that he
found on the place were supplanted
by purebred Poland Chinas The scrub
cattle that roamed over the hillside
pastures in this short space of one
year have given way to purebred
Angus.
A score of acres have been added to
the alfalfa acreage. and dozens of
other improvements have been made
by this youthful manager.
H. F. Wicket, a banker of Chicago.
bought Blue Valley farm some years
ago, and until a year ago did not
make very big dividends. But for the
last year, in fact, ever since young
Wicket took charge-the farm has
paid wonderfully well. Much of the
money has gone back to improve the
place.

washed hoghouses, big silos, shower

ended June 30, 1915, according to
statistics just compiled by the United
States forest service. 123,16S, 900 feet
was taken under free-use permits
given to settlers and others living in
or near national forests. There were
10000 free-use permittees. and the
value of the timber they cut was $780,
46413.
The remainder, or 565, 754 900 board
feet, was cut under sales contracts,
for the most part with lumber opera
tors. but including 1926 900 feet sold
at cost to farmers and settlers, as re-
quired by a special provision of law.
The prices received for all sold tim
Der varied from so cents to 81 per
thousand feet, and the total value was
$1,179, 448.39.
The statement shows that the for
ests of Alaska are furnishing a large
amount of timber for local consump-
ton. More than 100000 feet. &C
cOrding to the forest service, was cut
under sales contracts during the ifs
cal year in the two national forests of
Alaska, and it Is estimated that the
quantity taken under the free-use priv
ilege amounts to at least ten per cent
of that cut under sales. No figures are
available on the Alaskan free-use cut,
as residents of the territory are al
lowed, on account of the relative
sparsity of the population, to take all
the timber they need for personal use
without going through any formalities.
Outside of Alaska permits are issued
to those entitled to share in the free
use privileges, as a means Of prevent
ing its abuse and to regulate this form
of utilization along lines which will
tend to improve the forest conditions
