Demand For COrdWOOd This Winter.

All indications point to an extra
ordinary demand for fire wood this
coming winter and probably also for
the following winter. This is due to
the increase in cost of coal and par
ticularly to the difficulty of securing
it, especially in the small towns, oW-
ing to the shortage of cars. This diff
fculty is certain to increase. The sit
uation offers a splendid opportunity
to farmers and woodland owners
generally to utilize trees killed by the
Chestnut Blight, tops and laps result
ing from numbering operations, as
well as the taking out of inferior
trees in the nature of Trimmings and
improvement cuttings in the wood
lands.
One of the great hinderances here
tOfore to the practice of good forest
management has been to find a mar
ket for this low grade material, and
the probable demand for fire wood
seems to offer solution. Wood cut
during July and August should be
sufficiently seasoned for marketing
the latter part of this winter, while
dead sound wood may be cut
even later and will likely find a pro-
fitable market.
Those who can cut wood for next
winters delivery would do we'll to
make arrangements with the local
wood dealers or directly with con-
sumers in the towns so as to contract
for the output in advance.
Z The State Forester, Baltimore,
Maryland, will be glad to assist those
who are likely tn have any nuantitv
OF wood for sale and to give advice
or lind market for it. Upon applica-
ton the Forester will go over the
woodlands of anyone in the State,
advise him on the ground as to it's

RENEW WORKOUT PASTURES.
Sweet Glover Is Valuable Soil Re.
n0VatOr and Excellent Forage for
Stock.

Grow sweet clover" is the answer
for poor soil or worn out pastures
which no longer support live stock
proftably, according to Investigators
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, who have found that
thousands of acres of sweet clover
are furnishing annually abundant pas
turage for all kinds of stock on soil
where other crops made but little
growth.
In many portions of the Middle
West sweet clover bids fair to solve
serious pasturage problems, according
to Farmers Bulletin $40, Sweet Clo-
yer: Utilization" just issued. Native
pastures no longer provided more
than scant living for a mature steer
on or acres, when properly seed
ed to sweet clover, will produce suf-
t1cient forage to carry at least one an
1mal to the acre throughout the sea-
son. Dairy cattle, horses, sheep, and
hogs all do well on sweet clover Land
which is too rough or too depleted for
cultivation or permanent pastures
which have become thin or Weedy
may be improved greatly by drilling
in, after disking, a few pounds of
sWeet-cloVer seed per acre. Not only
will the sweet clover add considerably
to the quality and quantity of the pas
turage, but the growth of the grasses
will be improved by the addition of
large quantities of humus and nitro
gen to the soil
Sweet clover has proved to be an
excellent pasturage crop on many of
the best farms in the North Central
States. In this part of the country it
is often seeded alone and pastured
from the middle or the latter part of
June until frost, or it may be sown
with grain and pastured after harvest.

unit. When the call came for
one unit two weeks ago, eighty

no cooks are obtainable,- their
places will be filled with drivers,
and cooks will be supplied from
other units.

week. 1t is expected that the men
will leave at once for New York

CHANCE IN NAVY FOR YOUNG

has authorized the appointment
of 400 enlisted men to the naval

portunity for young Americans
who have the necessary mental
and physical qualifications and
age, and is published for the in
formation of the young men as
we'll as parents.
To secure this prize it is neces-
