HEAVY WlNDST0Rn
IN RANKIN COVE

A heavy windstorm swept the
east side of the valley Thursday
evening. The heaviest damage
was in Rankin Cove where corn
was laid low. On the farm Of
Morris Westmoreland corn was
laid over in the rows as if LAID
down by a gigantic scythe. }.
G. Grey, who was blowing in the
field at the time reports that the
storm came so suddenly that ne
had no time to get off the row and
the corn stalks were whipped
about him so quickly that he
could hardly get out of the row.
He reports the damage very great,
almost a total loss. The wind
was so strong that he could hard
ly keep his feet.

FARM WOODLOT
ON EVERY FARM
Trees Compared With People
Each Community Should
Have Young and Old
GUARD AGAINST ANY FIRES
Even on Rich. High-Priced Land Some
Trees Should Be Grown-Poorer
Soils Should Be Made to Produce
Trees in Abundance.

| (By W. R. Nation. Forest Examiner
The present movement to build up
! the farm and make it pay its owner
a substantial income necessitates Sc
rious attention to the farm woodlot.
| Tillable land, pasture, and woodland
make up three main classes OF land to
| be dealt with in the future develop
ment of the farm. A Woodlot is that
| portion of the farm managed for the
continuous production of timber either
to be used on the farm or for sale, or
both. This includes posts, poles, fire.
wood and common building material.
1t is important here to distinguish
clearly between a wOodlot and wood
ed pasture. In many regions the
wooded pasture is exclusively thought
of and known as the woodlot. 1t gen
orally consists of very open stand Oh
mature and overmature trees. The
absence of seedlings and larger repro
duction forcibly suggests the condition
of a town made up wholly or aged
people. Each will become extinct by
alton. The woodlot should contain
trees of different ages with the young
er ones we'll represented. Further, 1t
should be fully stocked with the most
useful kind of trees. The main points
by which to judge the latter are The
intrinsic value of wood for farm uses
and the rate Of growth.
Pastured Woodlots Ruined.
Pasturing a woodlot, unless care
fully controlled, destroys the valuable
protective leaf mulch of the forest
floor and does great damage to young
seedlings and sapplings. If continued
as a steady practice heavy pasturing
in hardwood stands will inevitably de-
stroy the woodlot. The worth of the
forage growing in a good woodlot is
very small indeed, since the trees will
be so close-spaced and very little sun
light will reach the ground. In we'll
stocked cumberland, where the foliage
is we'll above the reach of animals,
light pasturage under careful regula-
ton may sometimes be allowed, If
necessary, but extreme caution is i'm
perative, If harm is not to be done,
and, generally speaking, it is best to
keep stock out.
Fires should be rigidly excluded at
all times. A single fire, removing the
protective leaves and litter, may cut
down the subsequent increase of the
timber by as much as 80 to so per cent
during the next few years.
1t would be well if every farmer
would select and set aside certain
part of the farm as permanent wood
lot. AS a matter merely of convent
ence and the saving of time and un
necessary expense in the future,
woodlot will be needed on practically
every farm. Repair timber is some
times needed on the farm at time
when trip to town would mean a
costly delay. Incidentally small
amounts of high-grade logs can be
grown, which should bring a good
price. The area to be devoted to the
permanent woodlot will vary usually
from about 10 per cent in regions of
good soil and high land value to 20 per
cent or more where the soil rs less
fertile and part of the sur
face steep or rough.
