FARM WOODLOTS ARE
EASILY OVERLOOKED
FIreWood Ranks Sixth In Value

PowerprIven Log Saw suppIants
crosscut and Buck, Making Task
Of Cutting Easy and Pleasant
Easy to Move About.

While farmers have watched the
prices Of corn, wheat, live stock and
other farm products go down, down.
down, many Of them may have over
looked the one farm commodity that
has not only held up In price, but
which Is In great demand and which
offers splendid cash profits right now
when they are needed most. This crop
is firewood ana 1t Is just ripe for
picking" Right now is the time for
farmers to harvest their firewood! AL
though neglected by many, statistics
show f1rewoOd to be the sixth farm
crop in value, being headed only by
corn, wheat, cotton, hay and oats.
II this were still the age Of the cross
cut and the bucksaw, this suggestion
Of saving wood for profit would be re-

moved and dependapie-has come to
supplant the crosscut and bucksaw
forever and to make the once hardest
of all farm jobs an easy and pleasant
task. With such a machine as Is now
on the market, the farmer can earn
the ready cash he must have to keep
things going while congress. bankers
and others debate over his and the ma
tion's problems.
In q utilitarian sense, timber un-
used Is timber useless to mankind.
Trees are a vegetable crop, and like
others Of their kind, they grow to ma
turity, decay and die-a total loss un-
less they are harvested and converted
to the uses for which they are best
adapted.
On nearly every farm in most Sec
tions Of the country there Is timber In
more than sufficient quantities for
home use. There are live trees that
need to be taken out to give room for
younger ones to grow. or to clear the
land for cultivation; there are dead
trees that are allowed to fall and de-
cay, and on thousands Of farms the
banks of rivers and creeks are lined
with logs and other driftwood.
The old way Of hauling logs to a saw
rig made timber work impracticable
as well as Improbable. But now that
there are log saws that can be
wheeled like q barrow almost any
where and can be operated on rough.
marshy, brush-covered ground, wood
can be cut by machinery into easily
handled lengths and sold at the high
prices that such fuel is now bringing.
The present situation, with wheat,
corn and other crop products at an un.
profitable level, has caused many farm
ers to 60 after these timber profits
they have been overlooking.

WIDESPREAD WAR ON
NATIVE FARM WEEDS
Survey Set on Foot by Depart
ment of Agriculture.
New Varieties Constantly Arriving In
Foreign Seed and Through Other
Sources-Entire Farms Aban.
doned to Pests.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
The United States Department of
Agriculture has set on foot what Is
intended to be the most comprehen-
slve weed survey ever undertaken. Up
to date comparatively little Is known
Of American farm weeds. They are
classified in bOtanies and herbariums,
but there are no definite data In re-
gard to their spread; the prevalence
OF any particular weed in any local
ity; the amount Of annual damage
new weeds, increase Of old species
or local methods of eradication.
To supply the need for such data
the section of weed Investigations has
sent questionable to all the more
than 1000 county agents of the de-
partment. This QUESTIONABLE asks the
names of five worst weeds In each
county, in order of their Importance;
the methods, IL any, used by farmers
to combat these weeds; and what
weed problems are especially serious
In any particular county.
Comparatively few native American
weeds have given farmers serious
trouble, but new varieties are con-
stantly arriving In foreign seed and
through other sources. Some of these
have become such pests that entire
farms have been abandoned to them.
A canvass of 200 representative east
ern farmers showed that an average
OF % days year Is spent at the busi-
est season In trying to get rid Of
weeds. Investigations by the bureau
OF plant industry over a number of
years are taken to indicate that cul-
tivation after the seedbed Is prepared
has no other use than to destroy
weeds. II this theory proves correct,
1t will add more heavily still to the
annual expense chargeable to weeds.
II Is the purpose of the department
to use the projected survey as basis
OF operation in directing a widespread
war on the weeds now here, or the i'm
portatiOn Of any new ones, and to
seek any local eradication method;
which may be worth general dissem-
ination.

Result Of Experiments Conducted at

Milk-goat experiments In grading up
from native and grade Toggenburg and
Saanen does with purebred Swiss
bucks, begun In 1911, were continued
last year by the United States Depart.
quent Of Agriculture, at the govern.
ment farm at Beltsville, Md. The
flock comprises 26 does and 8 kids
of one-half, three-fourths, seven
eighths, and fifteen-sixteenths blood
The average daily milk yield per doe
in 1919 was 1902 pounds, an increase
Of 2.42 pounds over the yield of the
ten selected native does which formed
the foundation stock Of the herd. The
highest milk yield for an individual
doe in one day Is S.6 pounds. For
1919 the flock showed an average of
81 per cent butterfat.
