FlREWOOD PREPARED
FOR WINTER SUPPLY
Labor Requirements Reduced by
Use of Machinery.
Where Cooperative Plan 10 Not Feast
bic Many Farmers Prefer % Hire
Work Done Rather Than Buy
Individual Rig.

PREPARED by the United States Depart
ment of AEriculture)
Use OF power machinery In prepar-
ing firewood will reduce labor require
ments to point where the farmer
should be able to get his wood ready
: to burn without seriously neglecting
other work. A great many farmers al
ready have gasoline engines suitable
for furnishing the power for wood-saw-
ing machines. The saving machines
themselves are comparatively mex
pensive and the labor one saves will
be sufficient to pay for 1t long before 1t
II worn out. One outfit can do the
work for several families each year.
The purchase OF a complete outfit, in
Guiding an engine to furnish power,
may be profitable for a group Of farm
ers or for one who has an opportunity
to do custom work for his neighbors.
Where the cooperative plan is not
feasible, many farmers prefer to have
their wood cut with a hired outfit rath-
er than to purchase an individual rig.
The machines are sometimes hired by
the day or hour and sometimes by the
cord. In cutting poles or heavy wood
that has not been put into cordwood.
the outfit is usually hired on time
basis. When the saw owner furnishes
the fuel for the engine and his own
time, 81 or less per hour is usually
charged in the eastern part Of the
country. II the saw is kept busy wood
can be cut at the rate of at least
two cords per hour. Thus the use of
a hired machine for cutting wood will
cost the farmer less than so cents per
cord. In cutting cOTdwooa the outfit
il often hired at fixed rate per cord.
Where the saw owner furnishes the
fuel and only his own time, the price
Is usually 35 to so cents per cord. II

MOVE To REVISE CALENDAR
Advocates Of Change viii Bring the
Matter to Attention Of League

One of the first projects to be laid
before the League of Nations. when 1t
gets ready for new business, Is one to
revise the calendar and make II uni
form throughout the world. Bureau
officials of the United States. SwiZer-
land and Great Britain got Into touch
with church officials before the war on
the subject of calendar revision. and
have kept up consideration OF the mat
ter since. Church leaders say an
agreement has been reached and II
uniform report is nearly ready to go
to the league.
The calendar has not been revised
before because OF objections from the
churches to dntes for. the grent re-
ligious fensts. These objections are
said to be removed. A fixed dnte for
Easter. the adding Of thirteenth
month, the making Of every week be-
gin with II Sunday and having exactly
% days In each MOnth-these nre the
main features agreed on. Church peo-
pie favoring the revision say that II

The 1919 corn crop Is a wonderful
crop from which to select seed corn.
Over most of the country 1t L. well

fellow can bank on for q good stand
and big yields. .,-..
But 1t takes time to select seed corn.
You are busy, Some other job is call
ing you before you finish the one you
are at You guess you will not take
the time to select any seed corn to
speak Of.
All right-its your business. But
think ahead a little. Imagine that 1t Is
the spring of 1921. The year 1920, say,
was poor corn year. Frost came
early and nearly all of the corn was
soft. You haven't any that is fit to
plant. The busy spring season is at
its busiest. A score Of things are call
ting to be done at once. You have to
hitch up the horse or crank the car
and start securing the country for
some man who has a crib Of old corn.
Probably you fail to find him and have
to wait while the county agent or
somebody 'sends down South" and
gets you some hard corn to plant.
Some waste OF time connected with
the process, isn't there? After you
get 1t. perhaps It Is unadnpted to your
locality and yields a poor crop OF Inn
mature corn. 'r-' 80
Save for Two Ysars.
This is one Of the reasons why the
corn experts of the United States de-
pertinent Of agriculture urge farmers
to select out of this years crop enough
seed corn to meet their needs for two
or three years. No farmer, particu-
larly In the northern portion OF the
United States. has time not to do 1t.
Still, the mere saving Of time Is not
the only reason. By getting two or

Gullies are wasters Of soil fertility.
In many corn-producing sections the
rows between the corn sometimes act
us channels which soon wash deep and
carry away much of the best soil Of q
field. Although 1t is not a simple mat
ter to reduce these gullies, 1t is prac-
tical to attempt 1t. A successful
scheme practiced throughout the corn
belt by many farmers consists in
thrashing settings of grain-where
grain follows corn in the crop rota-

terial source of loss and an eyesore
