NAN-KINDLED

So much has been written about the prevention OF
forest fires that additional comment seems superfuous
but when the waning brings the same re-
ports of blazing forests in the West and North OF towns
destroyed lives wiped out and great acreages OF timber
reduced to charred stumps and ashes plain that cou
sci and practice somewhere have failed TO connect
There is no need rece again the list of precautions
for fire prevention that of screening the stacks OF
comoves passing through timber country The whole SUB
ect has been canvassed many times What needed IS
stronger incentive to prevention in the individual and it
seems as if the wrought by the fires themselves ought
TO furnish that.

Lincoln County
Finds Other Crops
Than Cotton Valuable

LINCOLNTON, Ca, Nov. 90
The farmers of Lincoln county are
turning from cotton and are meet
ing with gratifying results in other
lines of farm production, as will APP
pear from the following two cases.
Mr.. T. w. Mathews, of the south
ern section Of the county, says that
he has found that it is easier and
much more profitable to grow grain,
hay, cattle and hogs than cotton, and
that he can make money on the
farm without depending upon cot
ton. Last fall Mr.. Mathews tried
out a 35-acre tract of land on which
he put 200 loads of stable manure,
but no commercial fertilizer.
He sowed this tract in oats, rom
which he harvested 500 bushels Of
oats, which he sold for $4,000. He
then put in Is acres Of the stubble
land from which the oats had been
cut, in peas and cane for hay. From
this 10 acres he cut Ais bales, or
10 tons, which he sold for SIS per
ton, making $4,000 from the hay,
or total of $747.00 money crops on
this tract.
The other case is that of Mr.. G.
c.. Henderson, also of the southern
section of the county, who has tried
out an acre of alfalfa. This acre
two years ago was a very ordinary
spot, making about one-half bale of
cotton, but after sowing it down IN
small grain in win+er and peas in
summer, and using stable manure,
TIE strength Of the soil came ack
almost like magic. He put 1,400
pounds of quick lime and 500 pounds
of 9-03 guano on it, broadcast, with
a total cost n labor and fertilizer
of $51.50, this being when prices
were high. He has harvested three
crops from this acre, with returns
of $2S5.00 for the three crops, or
something over $4,000 per, year for
the acre. In addition to this, two
hogs grazed on it continuously from
May to October.
County Agent E. 0. McMahan is
organizing a group Of farmers who
will motor to Eatonton next We'd
nesday to inspect the Eatonton
creamery. They will also attend a
sale of Jersey cattle, and contem-
plate bringing several back to Lin
coin county. This trip may lead to
creamery here.
That there is money in cows has
been demonstrated by Mr.. Sid
Strother, of the Amity district, in
this county. Mr.. Strother has been
shipping cream produced by eight
COWS, and in the past eight weeks
he has averaged 1000 per week
from the sale of this cream. Others
in the county have been getting like
results from the sale of their cream.

MARKET
IS ACTIVE DESPITE
SHORTAGE Of CARS

The lumber market continues very
active. This is somewhat unusual, as
buying ordinarily tapers off at this
season. However, the car shortage
has so restricted shipments that
many buyers have been unable to
secure badly needed material, so
the demand is being spread over the
entire year.
Demand continues to be greater
than the ability of the mills to
ship in the face of the continued
car shortage, / says the American
Lumberman. Railroad officials have
been profuse in promises to relieve
the car shortage, but so far little
relief has been noted, although in
the south shippers are getting a
slightly larger percentage of their
car requirements than they were
several weeks ago. Thus shipments
Of both southern hardWoods and
slightly.
Experienced observers who have
recently travelled among the mills
in all sections Of the country re-
port that they can hardly recall the
time when stocks have been so
badly broken and so ill-assorted as
at present. No excess of lumber is
being carried anywhere, and the
lumber industry is approaching win
ter, which restricts output in a
large part of the producing area.
Another factor which will tend to
curtail production is the annual
! overhauling of machinery and stop
pages of operation to install new
equipment. On the Pacific coast no
! Improvement in the car situation
has been noted, and manufacturers
hardly expect any change in the
situation until after the first of the
year.
In the Meantime, construction re
mains brisk for this season and the
volume of new building indicated by
estimates for 1923 bids fair to eX-
coed even the record of 1922.
Stocks of retail lumbermen as a
whole, are badly broken, a condi-
! ton which always prevails at this
time Of year, because dealers let
their stocks run down until after
inventory is taken. This year, how
ever, stock depletion has been &C,
centuated by the car shortage.
which, in many cases, has prevented
retailers from securing needed ma
terial. Flooring factories, sash, door
and interior millwork makers, and
woodworking manufacturers gener
ally, are very busy and are eX
periencing an excellent demand for
their products.
The lumber market generally is
strong, with an upward tendency.

! CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-Wheat action was
reversed today. There was a strong array
Of bearish news, which tended to undermine
the confidence of the longs. There was a
bulge at the start a result of the firm
cables. The bulge was taken advantage Of
by the bulls to take profits, but later SELL
ing became of a semi-panicky nature. Sup
port was offered on the break, but 1t proved
inadequate. There was a private estimate
here making the Argentine exportable sur
plus 1856, 900 bushels, compared with
14S ,000, 900 bushels a previous estimate. The
combination of France and England to the
German reparation payments was regarded
as bearish. The visible supply increased
IA 900 bushels in the face of record-breaking
exports, emphasizing an improved car situa-
ton. Supplies on ocean passage increased
$500, 900 bushels last week. Milling demand
for wheat was moderate, while export de-
mand is nil.
Wheat closed 1c to Use lower; December,

! Liquidation was in corn also. Locals sup
ported the market at the opening, but they
encountered heavy commission selling, and
later early buyers were forced to sell by
the action of wheat. Receipts showed a
. little increase and there was a reduction
of ne-Quarter cent in premiums for yellow
corn. The seaboard advised that there were
burdensome accumulations of corn, for which
