and by log scale measure. A choice
is thus offered and the more profitable
form Of bid can be accepted. Prior to
making sales fairly good estimate
should be made Of the amount and val
ue Of the material for sale. Persons
experienced In measuring and estimat-
Ing timber usually can be found In
every region where timber has been
handled In the past. 1t is advisable to
market the higher grades of timber
rather than use them on the farm,
where the, cheaper material generally
will prove quite as serviceable. This
should be done In many cases even If
1t makes necessary the purchasing and
hauling to the farm of cheaper lum-
Der. Before following such a proceed
ure, however, the farmer should be
sure that he has high grade product
to sell, for markets which pay good
prices usually buy on grade and in
spect closely. The use of a written
timber-sale agreement is recommended
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture in selling woodland tim
her, particularly where the cutting is
done by the purchased.

lumber; builders are calling loudly for

yet the farmer might be the most in
dependent of all these interests with
respect to lumber, and could add
greatly to the present supply If he
would properly develop his woodland
resources. Many farmers, of course,
have done this already and are profit

GRADES FOR
WHEAT ESTABLISHED
Factors Which Closely Limit the
Commercial Value.
Country Buyers Are Urged to Equip
Themselves With Standard Equip
ment Such as Used by IL
censed Inspectors.

Federal grades for wheat have been
established upon the basis of actual
commercial value for the various
grades. The moisture content Of
wheat, the percentages of dockage
and Of other foreign materials pres
ent, the extent of damage, If any, and
the test weight per bushel all are fac
tors which closely limit the CONNER
cial value of wheat. There is no rea-
son why the producer of inferior
wheat should expect to receive as
much as the careful farmer who has
produced highest weight, low
moisture content wheat which Is prac-
tically free from foreign matter other
than dockage, say grain experts of the
bureau Of markets, United States de-
partment Of agriculture.
Many Of the country elevator opera
tors have installed grading equipment
for the purpose Of purchasing all
wheat upon the basis of grade. Yet
purchase by grade is Of but little
value unless the grades are fairly ad.
ministered, and country buyers are
urged to equip themselves with stand
ard equipment such as that used by
the licensed and federal inspectors.
Fairness 10 all in the handling Of
grain turns on the purchase of grain
according to Its actual worth, and not
upon the mine run" basis.

SHOULD GROW HAIRY
VETCH MORE WIDELY
Crop Thrives in Nearly All Soils
and Climates.
Acreage Is Far Below That of Several
Other Leguminous Forage Plants
High Cost Of Seeding Is
Big Objection.

Hairy vetch thrives in nearly all
soils and climates, is probably as
widely distributed as any other le-
guminous forage crop, and is used for
nearly every purpose for which forage
crops are employed. 1t is remarkable
for its ability to grow on poor SOIL
to resist cold, drought, and alkali, and
for its comparative immunity from in
sects and diseases.
Despite all these advantages, hairy
vetch is not one of the major forage
crops. The acreage is far below that
of several others of less value. For
age specialists of the United States
Department Of Agriculture say that
this crop could be protitably grown on
great many more farms.
Hairy vetch, with all it's excellent
qualities, is not without some Objec-
tionable features. Perhaps the most
serious is that it will not stand up
right without support. AS hay crop,
therefore, il must be planted with rape
or some other stiff-stalked crop. There
is sometimes difficulty in getting a
stand and on the other hand in ex-
terminating it when 1t is once estab-
lished.
The high cost Of seeding has been
perhaps the principal factor in pre-
venting it's general use. Specialists
hold out no hope for cheap seed, but
they assert that the advantages Of the
crop are sufficient to justify its plant
ing even at high cost. This is particu-
larly true. they say, in the states Dor
dering on the Great Lakes and in most
of the Atlantic and Gulf coast states.
The subject of seed production in
various localities is discussed in de-
tail in Department Bulletin $40, copies
of which are available to interested
persons, free on application.

MT. Cap shaw claims that he was driving the machine down Broadway at moderate rate of speed and that the delivery wagon was in front of sllim. Without warning the wagon turned sharply to the left to pass another team and a second later turned into the driveway leading to the Mitchell house. MT Capshaw turned his machine sharply to the right but could not avoid hit ting the wagon.

The automobile turned over, pinning Miss Duer, Cap shaw and Miss Edith Cunningham who was also in the machine, under it Alex Pasnik with several others who were passing the spot at the time as- sisted in extricati ting those pinned un- der the machine and carried Miss Duer into the Mitchell home.

LONG SOCIETY WANTS SCHOOL KEPT

Having learned that school superin- tendent T.. J. Graham is to recommend to the meeting of the town school board Tuesday night that the Long So- ciety school be given up, the residents of that district are to hold a protest meeting this (Monday) night in tbe
 schoolhcuse.
 At the present time the school has one room with from 30 to 34 children in
 the first and second grades taught by
 Lima B. Spaulding. The school form erly had third and fourth grades in 1t, but these were discontinued last fall and the children transferred to the Greeneyille school.
 Residents of the district have done some lively stirring around in the last day or two taking census of the dis trict to show facts as to population and number of school children which | they will use as arguments in the pror test meeting. Prominent among the objectors to the discontinuance of the school is G. Warren Davis of the Corn | ing road.
