VIERRA IS MADE
FOREMANOF ALE
PATCHING JOBS

A. K. Vierra, who has been employ
ed for some time as timekeeper In the
office of the city and county engineer,
has been named as foreman of q new
position in the department, known as
patching Of public utilities excava-
tons. The work of timekeeper has
been taken over by S., Ke1iinoi, sta
tistician. Of the department.
We have long felt the need of q
man to take charge of the work that
we have given to Mr.. Vierra," said En-
gineer Whitehouse today In explaining
the duties of the new office. i.
"A great many of the public utilities,
such as the water system, the sewer
system, and the gas company, are
often compelled, to make excavations
in the streets, which, when filled up,
have to be patched over to harmon;ze
with the original paving on the street.
Though the expense of patching
has to be paid by the utilities COM
panies themselves, when we do it, It
is not often convenient to send a group
of men away from a regular job. Ac-
cording to the new plan, the compa-
MES, whenever they make excavations
will confer with Mr.. Vierra as to the
location of the work and he will go
to attend to putting It in its former
condition. When he has completed
the work, he will send a bill to the

MARKETING OF FARM rlMsER.
Forest Service Says Ignorance of
WedIot Owners Often Costs Them
Dearly,

Washington, Aug. 27-The market
ing of farm timber presents some of
the same difficulties, but in an aggra-
waited form, that the farmer meets in
Service contribution to the Year Book
of the Department Of Agriculture, just
issued. The farmer finds to get enough
for his timber. Most farmers now sell
their saw timber on the stump to a
mill man. such sales ordinarily being
experienced 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 lumberman, 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 a
farmer may thus throw away are often
encountered by foresters, continues
the article. For instance, a. Massachu-
sets farmer sold a million feet of tim
Der to portable sawmill man for
1920, and thought he had obtained a
good price. His nefghbor, however,
who knew something about timber,
got $1,000 for the same quantity. of
white pine from the very same porta-
account Of his ignorance. practically
presented the mill man with $500:
the second owner was wise enough
10 learn before he attempted TO sell
his timber how much he had and what
II 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
ig enormous, says the article. This
area fs larger than all the national
forests put together, and with an an
nua1 growth of 200 board feet per acre
Of saw timber-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 120 million
cords Of hrewood.
These figures. continues the article
probably never will be realized, for the
