W00DL0TS SAVE COAL

Many farms are well equipped
for supplying the fuel which IL
needed for cooking purposes and
thus saving coal. A large per
centage Of these farms contain
timber which has received little
or no attention. Most Of these
areas would yield an abundance
Of firew0od and yet leave the
woodlots in even better condi-
ytion than before the cutting wa&
made. The removal OF dead. de-
caying or otherwise defective
material from the woodlo,
would not only serve as q source
Of fuel, but would leave the re.
naming timber In better condi-
..tIon for increased growth.
