NEW SILVER STATE SERIAL
STORY TO BE A W0RLD-BEATER

Next Tuesday The Silver State will
begin the serial publication of another
splendid Western story, "The Ranch
at the Wolverine" by B. NJ. Bower.
Like the story recently finished, "The
Lone Star Ranger" which was much
enjoyed by nearly all readers, this
new story is a copyrighted publica-
ton, and its author is too well known
as a writer of the West to require any
extended introduction. The Silver
State confidently recomends the
new serial to contribute to the happi-
ness of its readers.

lasting damage to the woodlands un-
other hand, the cutting of cordwood
affords each owner OF woodland an
opportunity to clear his land and put
his timber in better condition. To ac-
complish this the idea to keep In mind
Is to remove for cordwood the poorer,
less valuable trees, leaving the better
ones to stand. In removing the fuel
wood the greatest precaution should
be taken not to injure the more valu-
able trees or the young growth.
Briefly. the material which should
be removed is as follows:
Sound sticks lying on the ground,
including tops left in logging opera
tions, and trees blown over by wind.
crushed down by snow or otherwise
toppled over; dead trees which are
sound and still standing; trees which
are diseased, or are so seriously In
jured by insects that they will prob
ably die, and also trees which are spe-
cially subject to serious disease or
Insect attack; crooked trees which are
crowdlng out straight ones; large old
trees unsuitable for lumber, and hav-
ing big tops which shade out numerous
smaller trees growing beneath them.
small trees which are overtopped and
stunted by larger and better ones.
trees of the less valuable kind which
are crowding good trees Of the more
valuable kinds, trees which by some
chance are growing on ground insult
ed to them; slowly growing trees
which are crowdlng out equally valu.
able kinds that grow faster; trees
badly fire-scarred at the butt, which
usually become rotten and are among
the first to be blown over by heavy
winds.
The ideal trees for cordwood are
those which range from four to about
ten inches in diameter. The yield Of
cordwood from trees smaller than four
inches in diameter is very slight. and
trees larger than ten inches In diam
eter are usually more valuable for
some other purpose, unless they are
defective.

IMPORTANCE OF
FARMER IN WAR
Food-Production Problems Are
Growing More Acute With
Progress of Conflict.
MORE MEN CALLED TO ARMY
Department Of Agriculture Officials
Assured From Every Section That
Man Behind the Piow viii Not
Fail In War Task.

The man behind the plow, depart
ment of agriculture officials believe, Is
the man behind the man behind the
gun, and the idea has been embodied
in striking poster that is soon to be
used throughout the country In ham,
mering home the Importance of the
American farmers big war job.
Edward Penfield, poster artist of
New York, painted the picture, which
shows a plowman working in the fur
rows to produce food for the men in
the trenches. Against a sunlit back
ground are seen the silhouetted fig
ures of soldiers In battle.
Farmers Not to Fall.
Food production problems are de-
scribed as growing more acute with the
progress Of the war. the increasing de-
mands for food. the calling Of more
men to the army, and other results of
America straining every nerve toward
one objective. But department of ag-
riculture officials are assured In every
mail and from every section of the
country that the farmers are not going
to fail In their war task. Farmers
have gone over the top for the period
of the war. The new poster Is intend
ed to impress upon people of the cities
and towns the great Importance Of ac-
commodating agriculture in its require
ments Of labor. finance and marketing.
Farmers Place Recognized.
The Importance of the farmer in
the organization of American resources
to win the war was expressed by the
secretary of agriculture In his recent
appeal "to the patriots on the farms"

appeal the secretary said:
you have occupied and do occupy
the first line trenches of the food
army. You have to fight difficulties,
too. I am not unmindful of these. In
the department of agriculture we con-
slider them daily. and daily we give
our best efforts to help you meet them.
You know of the difficulties in your
community. but know of them In
many communities of many states, and
so seriously do they impress me that
I might almost consider them insur-
mountable had not American farmers
last year, and again this year, revealed
the true American fighting spirit and
ability to meet serious situations.
''Let us SOW literally for a big har-
vest in 1919. 1t has been called the
Liberty wheat harvest. We all hope
1t will be. But let us undertake the
task with the determination that we
will sweat our blood for many more
