News Notes From Camp Wheeler

Camp Wheeler Ca, March 12.-Sol'
diers of the Dixie division will ex-
perience the hardest training they
have ever had this week. Today marks
the beginning of the fifteenth week OF
a new intensive training program thai
is to continue three weeks longer.
Instead of having schools, exer'
else. and drills on the camp drill
fields, the infantry brigades. the 6lst
AMI end, composed of about ten
thousand men, will maneuver the en-
tire week. The two brigades will
like separately, every man pelng
equipped for field service the same
as if he was on the battle front in
France.
Early Monday morning, Gen. W. A.
Harris, commander of the 61st bril-
gade, will lead the 121st and 122nd
regiments from camp for hike that
will likely continue until next Thurs
day. The men will carry their small
tents under which they will sleep
while away from camp. Provisions
will also be carried and every man
required to prepare his own meal.
The sanitary train of each brigade
will accompany the brigade, togeth-
or with the field signal battalion. The
brigade will be put through maneuv-
ers just as they would be required to
do on the battlefield.
Gen. Robert E. Steiner, an Alabama
officer, will head the 62nd brigade.
The maneuver program will rsquirs
the men to perform the same duties
they would on the front. They will
hike through fields and woods for
three days camp. At the end Of the
week, the two brigades may stage an
lover the top" combat without resort
ing to the same tactics they would in
the case of hand to hand combat with
the Hun.
The men are pleased with next
weeks program, although it means
hard work for all of them. The sig
nal battalion will have an opportun,
ity to practice signal work. The san
iiary trains with each brigade will
also have an opportunity to perform
duties that will be required of them
when they reach France.
Orders have been issued by each
company commander for every man
to pack his blanket roll and get all
field equipment in readiness for the
hike early Monday morning.

Right Prices for Wood.

According to a circular just ISSUED
by the State Fuel Administration fue
wood should not sell for over $500 Pc
: 16.inch cord for hard woods and $3. Q;
for soft woods except in some of TIT
larger cities of the state. In many
places the prices should be considerably
lower than this. To justify these prices
the Administration gives figures show
ing cost of stumpage, cutting, hauling
and gross margin. Stumpage. or the
value of the standing timber, is placed
at SOC per 16 inch cord for distances OF
one trip per day wagon haul and in
creases with nearness to market up to
81 40 where team can make four trips
q day. The stumpage yalue OF soft
woods is placed at 25c less per 10 inch
cord.
In figuring the cost of cutting the
circular assumes that one man can cut
on the average two cords of 16 inch
wood per day, and places the cost of
cutting at i.25 per cord for hardwoods
and 85c per cord for softwoods. The
hauling cost is based on an assumed
average wage of $500 per day for team
and driver and an average load of three
16 inch cords. The cost per cord Of
hauling is shown to vary with the dis
lance from market and runs all the
way from Coo to $3.50 per cord. A
gross margin of 75c per Is inch cord is
assumed as reasonable. While costs
may differ in various places the tables
given in the ciiculsr are useful as a
guide in adjusting prices of cordwood.
In cities like Detroit, which have to
depend on railroad shipment, 1t is
shown that the price of 1e inch hard
wood delivere should be about SO 80.
This allows for freight charges and
handling by the retailer.
The circular gives table showing
the weight of green and dry wood OF
different kinds and discusses the fuel
value of wood. 1t urges that farmers
use care in cutting over their wood lots
and emphasizes the necessity OF Great
ing community wood reserves for next
year. 1t is very likely that another
cool shortage will occur next winter
when people may again be forced to use
wood in even La ger quantities than this
year. Wood reserves should more than
pay their own way and if they do not
they will represent very low premium
for insurance against going cold.

SEED CORN
Discussed in Weekly Bulletin by the
County Agent

The seed corn situation in Shiawas
see county is still attracting consid
cradle attention. Many Of the farm.
ers are finding by the aid of testing
their seed which they supposed was
good is so low in termination as to
be of little if any use. The import.
ance of testing seeds cannot be over
estimated.
Those who buy their seed corn
should determine as far as possible
as to where the seed was raised. A
firm which is located in Battle Greek
sold seed corn to some of the farm
ers in the eastern part of the county
last year, guaranteeing it to ripen in
from 80 to 100 days. This corn was
just tasseling out when the frost
came. 1t would not have ripened be-
fore Christmas if there had been no
frosts.
The same company is advertising
again this year but their seed is not
of the Michigan type and it is very
doubtful if it will ripen any earlier
than it did last. This seed is very
expensive at dollar a bushel. Mich
igan corn at $12 would be more eco
nomical as it's chances Of ripening
are better. Corn is the cheapest seed
which can be planted and a man is
foolish to spend all of his time and
labor and take chances on poor seed
because it is claimed to be a little
cheaper than good seed.
A number Of the farmers Of the
county have come to the conclusion
that the man who raises corn Of the
flint variety year in and year out is
the winner over the man who sticks
to the dent varieties. On the aver
age the flint corn ripens about two
weeks earlier than the dent corns,
thus escaping the danger of being cut
by the frosts. They claim that one
bushel of ripened flint corn is of
greater value for feeding purposes
than two bushels of soft dent corn.
Mr.. Farmer, don't guess, but test.
