GATHER WINTER FUEL

Cut Out Dying Tops and Those That

factory Growth-Remove All
Vines From Timber.

This is good season to clean up the
wOOdlot, improve the timberland, and
gather the winter wood supply at the
same time, say specialists Of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture.
All dead trees and large dead limbs
should be made up into cordwood first,
then the trees that have dead or dy-
ing tops. Remove those which are too
crowded to make satisfactory growth,
keeping in mind always TO leave those
trees that will make the best saIable
timber.
Look up at the crowns Of the trees
in deciding which ones to thin out In
crowded group, and take out the inter-
mediate trees that are being en-
croached upon by the more dominant
ones. Do not make the mistake of over
thinning, but leave the small trees that
have practically no effect on the main
stand of the woodiOt to develop into
timber of the future. Leave the trees
as evenly spaced as possible. Cut out
all vines from the standing timber and
remove the varieties that have little
value in the wOOdlOt or on the mar
ket.
A permanent woOdlOt Is an essential
part Of well-eQuipped farm. and in
many cases is the source of the win

states. especially. farmers are likely
to overlook this fact, and reckleSSly
