Source of Revenue.
Where agriculture is in the pioneer
ing state, it is pointed out, the sale OF
wood very often enables the farmer to
tide over the first years during which
he has not enough land in cultivation
to support him. In later years the
wOodlots furnishes material for use on
the farm, and If taken care of may
prove a valuable source Of revenue.
AS settlement becomes intensive and
the value Of land advances, there is
tendency for the area devoted to wood

and yield good returns on the invest
ment they represent. The Swiss city
of Zurich, for example, derives about
$4,000 per year from a woOdlOt OF
$500 acres.
Protection and Shelter.
In addition to the actual money re-
turns, the trees on the farm have a
value for protection and shelter which
will often justify their preservation
and care. Both live stock and crops
benefit by the protection from hot,
drying winds afforded by a wOodlot.
while in winter even a small wOodlOt
will do much toward increasing the
comfort of farm life by breaking the
force of cold winds and storms.

mules and farming implements. Good
weather was enjoyed and the occasion
was one of general enjoyment. Can

the location of the government expert
mental nitrate plant at the Muscle
Shoals on the Tennessee river. 1t
has been conceded by all the friends
OF the project that Mr.. Padgett did
more than any other member of con-

that site.
When it seemed that the matter had
been almost lost sight of in the maze
Of other activities brought on by the
war and that if the plant was estab-
lished anywhere it would not be at
Muscle Shoals, Mr.. Padgett personally
took it in hand and brought it to the
attention of President Wilson. 1t was
not long afterwards that the war de-
partment revived it's consideration of
the project and ultimately selected
this site, which, it is most likely, will
be made the location of the perma-
nent nitrate plant for the establish
ment of which $2O,OOO,OOO has been
appropriated
1t is Mr.. Padgett's plan to spend
the next month or six weeks at his
farm near Columbia and in visiting
his constituents in the other counties
of the district. He is anxious to meet
the people in all sections so that he
may inform himself as to their wishes
and the general public sentiment con-
corning the war and other subjects

Efficiency OF The Navy Due In Large
Measure to Preparation Made by
Him as Chairman of House Commit
tee on Naval Affairs.

Congressman l.. p. Padgett returned
home Saturday night from Washing
ton with the full determination that
nothing is going to take him away
from his district until after he has en-
Joyed weil-earned vacation with his
home folks. Not since last March,
when he was at home only two days,
has he been out of the heavy grind OF
the congressional session this year,
and he and his friends feel that he Is
entitled to the privilege of being at
home from now until congress recon
venes in December.
When asked for a brief statement
as to the work Of the past congress,
MIR. Padgett stated to The Herald that
it had been a momentous one, but one
that he believed the members had con-
Quoted with remarkable success. He
spoke of the trying days before the
declaration of war and of the efforts
since that time to prepare the nation
to go into the world battle equipped
to win the struggle.
AS chairman of the house naval af-
fairs committee, Mr.. Padgett had per-
haps the most trying position held by
any congressman, for as the first arm
of Americas fighting forces the navy
was the first to be gotten ready. For
tunately the efforts toward re-organ-
ization that had been under way for
two years under the direction of Mr.
Padgett and the Secretary of the Navy
found the situation in good shape
and comparatively easy to be convert
ed into war condition. But even with
that preparation the gigantic under
taking was one that required the ut
most ability of men like Padgett and
Daniels No other dep "tment of the
government has been so free from
criticism and needless delays since
the declaration of war as the navy
has been. M
