ries a large cloth sack into which the
leaves are put as they are pulled. TO
the ordinary person the speed with
which the natives pull the leaves is
remarkable. Some OF them gather as
many as 1900 leaves in day while
the inexperienced noVices can hardly
pull a thousand.
At night and on stormy days the
leaves are assorted as to size and
color and tied into punches OF q
leaves each. Forty of these punches
count as a thousand. the extra two
leaves TO each bunch being required
by the dealers to cover any loss from
damage, since only perfect specimens
are salable. The sorting is done as
carefully as possible and takes almost
as much time as the gathering.
In localities where the galax is ex-
tensiyely picked the people are ex-
tremely careful OF fires, because after
a forest FIRE no galax can be picked
for several years. This fact has been
of considerable importance in many
places, for the people have prevented
and fought forest fires in order to save
the galax from destruction and have
saved the forests from the damage
which fires cause.
In those forests Of the Southern Ap-
palachians where the Government Is
purchasing lands. the galax industry
Is encouraged because It is a source
OF considerable revenue TO the noun
talneers, in addition to reducing the
/ fire hazard. The roads and trails
which are being built by the Forest
Service will doubtless open up many
galax beds which have hitherto been
comparatively inaccessible and will aid
the people to market the leaves much
more easily than has been possible in
| the past.

Liberty Bonds for safe keeping,
whether brought in by a customer, or

The system is an integral part Of
