Heavy pasturing OF farm woods

How To Secure Best Returns From
Woodland Products.

Here are 10 helps IN marketing
woodland psLducts suggested by the
Forest Service Of the United States
Department OF Agriculture:
Get prices for various wood pro-
ducts from as many sawmills and 9TH
er wood-using plants as possible.
Before selling. consult neighbors
who have sold timber and benefit
from their experiences.
Advertise in newspapers and 9TH
erwise secure outside competition.
Investigate local timber require
ments and prices. The products may
be worth more locally because of the
saving in transportation costs.
Secure bids If practicable both by
the lump and by log-scale measure.
BE sure that the product is being
sold to responsible purchasers.
Get reliable estimate of the
amount and value of the material be-
fore selling.
Market the higher grades OF tim
Der. using the cheaper for farm pur-
poses
Use written contract in selling
timber, especially if cutting is done
by the purchaser.
Remember that standing timber
can wait over a period of low prices
without rapid deterioration.

u. S. MUST ACT TO
RENEW FORESTS
More Idle Timberland In America
Than Forests In All of
Western Europe.

"The United States produces more
than half of the entire lumber cut of
the world" says Col. w. B. Greeley,
Chief of the Forest Service. United
States Department of Agriculture,
land uses 95 per cent of that amount
right here at home. The exhaustion
of our timber supply is coming
about, not because we have used our
forests freely, but because we have
land. The problem, in nutshell, is
the enormous area of forest land
which has been so logged and burned
that it is producing little or moth
ing.
"We have more than S0.00O,000
acres, an area greater than all the
forests of France, Belgium, Holland,
Denmark, Germany, Switzerland,
Spain. and Portugal which have been
denuded to the point of absolute idle
ness so far as the production OF any
timbr of commercial value is concern
ed. We have other enormous areas
of cut-over land now growing but a
fraction Of the amount of timber
which they might produce. And We
are adding to these areas of idle or
largely idle land from 10000, 900 to
100000 acres every year as de-
structive logging and still more de-
..~,,ot,..o b.rnfpo nrnOracc
Reforest Cut-Over and Burned Lands.
This situation" the Forester
points out can not long continue with
out grave consequences. If we are to
remain Nation of wood users we
must become Nation of wood grow
ers. BY some means or other we must
see to it that forest lands not needed
for agriculture are not allowed to
lie idle but are kept at work growing
timber.
Where Americans need more for
ests," states Col. Greeley, lis largely
on these $4,000, 900 timber-denuded
acres, which could be made produc-
tive again with proper attention and
protection against fires. Some of
the chief reasons why these forests
are needed are as follows:
"Our manufacturing centers are
drawing at an enormous rate upon
our timber supply-from two to four
times as fast per capita as the coun-
try at large.
Our railroads require 125,0OO.-
900 wooden crossties annually to
maintain their roadbeds in fit condi-
tion and take care OF new construc-
tion,

Many Sections.

For various spring-sown crops, es-
pecially grain, the United States De-
partment of Agriculture has found
fall blowing profitable operation in
many sections. AS an economic mea-
sure, II prevents the piling up of
work at a critical period. Spring
grain usually can be sown to advan-
tage as son as the first is out and the
ground is dry enough to work, and II
is to the farmers advantage to have
II in the ground as early as practical
BILE. The greatest obstacle to early
planting is getting the ground In
shape. On large operations, where
either blowing or seeding takes a
month, waiting for the man and
horsepower to finish blowing before
It can be used in seeding often means
a delay that IL disastrous. II the
ground is plowed in the fall, when
other work is not pressing, only disk
ing or narrowing will be required
in the spring.
Fall blowing serves other valua-
BILE purposes. II permits the ground
to store up moisture from winter
SHOWS and rains. and often dislodges
eggs and larvae of insect pests which
had found snug winter quarters in
the soil, exposing them so they will
be killed by the cold. Stubble and
other vegetable matter left from the
harvest. If turned under in the fall,
has many more months to rot and
become incorporated with the soil.
Whether to pillow in the fall is of
course largely a question OF local
conditions and individual judgment.
Sandy soils. for instance. may be rem
dered liable to blowing II plowed and
left unseeded all winter. Heavy soils
are usually benefited by fall polwing.

Poison Bats Effective Even for Wise
Old Wolves.

Even the wise old wolf will fall for
the temptation Of poison II the bait
Is properly prepared and placed. Such
is the conclusion proved, in the face
OF long-standing belief to the con-
trary, by predatory animal inspectors
employed by the Biological Survey, U.
S. Department OF Agriculture.
Eve arrived on the range one even
ing, reads recent Arizona report,
"anf killed a yearling colt to be used
as a drag. That night we scattered
perhaps $50 poison bats. The next
day we made another drag with an
automobile, and along this drag line
put out obout 800 bats. That night
the wolves came In and killed fine
colt; but they continued over their
regular route Of travel until they
crossed the drag line, where each
pocked up a poison bait. The pair,
both old animals, were found about a
mile from where they picked up the
bait.
Zone of them had lost front foot
in a trap, perhaps two or three years
previously. Stockmen OF that range
are now thoroughly convinced that
poison will do the work: When we
first arrived there and proposed 10
poison the wolves the stockmen were
skeptical in fact, afterwards heard
that one man said Let the tenderfoot
try it out and then he'll be conyinc-
ed that wolves can not be poisoned.
In addition to the two instances cit
ed above two more wolves were killed
by poison recently. on the range
south of Nelson, Ariz., and similar
cases have occurred in other states
where governmental operations
against wolves are in progress.
