The farmers problems appear, all
OF a sudden. to have become the lead
ing national problem. Congress Is
talking of little else than legislation
aimed to help the agricultural inter
ests The bankers are busy explain
ing why they can't lend the farmer
the cash he needs. The plight of the
farmer is the chief topic OF discussion
In railroad circles and among business
men at all the big markets. Farmers
themselves are organizing everywhere
to force the prices Of their products
up to a point where selling win not
mean q loss to them.
Meanwhile what the individual
farmer needs is not talk. but cash.
Certain things he must buy right
along for himself and his family. He
can't wait for the national debate to
run down.
In this situation farmers who are
hard pressed for cash may be over
looking the fact that all around them
money Is growing on the trees" and
the crop is just waiting to be picked.
This Is almost literally true. In 9th

other crop-his timber. All over the
country thousands of farmers are

as Americas sixth crop. Government
statistics show rank of crops In this
order: Wheat, corn, cotton, hay,
oats, flrewood.
Money In Producing Fuel.
With one of the practical, low-priced
power log saws now on the market,
the farmer can make his farm pay
substantial profits by producing fuel
"a commodity that has held up we'll
in price and for which there is an al
most unlimited demand Then. too
there is always a steady market for
ties, fence posts and timbers that
can easily and quickly be cut with
these lightweight. portable machines.
In this way the farmer, with little
work or expenses, can realize good
profits and still hang on to his grain
and live stock IL he wants to. until
prices get better.
On nearly every farm IN most zee
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
srees that are allowed to decay; and
On thousands. of farms, the banks Of
rivers and creeks are lined with great
logs and other drift wood.
