Because of injury resulting from the
southern pine bark beetle in the hot
season, 1t is practically necessary to
cut pine In the fell and winter months.
Damage and loss in summer often
come from woodworking fungi, includ-
Ing the "bluing" and other staining of
wood. For these reasons a good many
farmers turn profitably to logging and
sawmilling for a few fall or winter
months each year. Nearly every kind

Fences dividing the land used for

Tests made by the United States

lots of Australian wheats recently In

for growing on the Pacific coast, where
they have produced larger yields than
some of the native commercial va

general are susceptible to most cereal

WOOD CUTTING GOOD
JOB DURING WINTER
Work Does Not Interfere With
Regular Field Crops.
Logs Cut in Cold Weather Season Are
Not Subject to Rapid Drying
Farmers May Probably Turn
to Some SawmiIIino.

Farmers, as rule, have too much
to do at certain times of the year and
not enough at others Many farms
are improbable because their owners
have little or nothing planned for win
ter. Wood-cutting can be done at any
time, but cool weather favors the rate
OF production, and in the winter the
work does not conflict with that on
regular field crops. If cut in winter
logs are not subject to rapid drying.
