FARM WOODLOTS.
Need for More Profitable Handling
and Conservation.

Speaking of the needs and OPP
portunities in Maine for more profita-
BILE handling of farm woodlots, My
ron +. Watson, forestry specialist of
the college of agriculture extension
service, says that approximately 45
per cent. of the total farm area of
the State is woodland and there is an
additional is per cent of unculti-
waited land, much of which could I'M
doubtedly be put to growing trees,
Those who have taken the trouble
to study the situation have observed
that woodlands and forest areas in
farm ownership are lessening, while
the area in waste land is increasing.
How to make such land productive is
a big problem, for the future timber
supply of the country must be large
ly produced by the farmer.
The woodlOt products are valuable
to the farmer from two general
standpoints. They furnish an i'm
portant source of revenue and supply
that he needs for home use.
At present the average farm forest
is not profitable because of improper
management. FOGeSI weeds tWOGIH-
less trees) are allowed to occupy
the space or hinder the growth of
commercial varieties
Extension work in farm forestry
aims to solve this situation by de-
veloping a program to have every
+, farm woodlot so managed that it
will be a profitable portion of the
| farm operation each year, and to en-
| large the total forest area by the
reforestation of all suitable non
agricultural lands. Such a program,
| if carried to completion, will bene-
| fit the farm owners and the COM
munity at large,
From the experience gained in the
last decade through Statewide
plan for carrying agricultural in
struction to farmers, which has re-
suited in a great financial advantage
to the farmer, as well as to the pub
lie, there is a good reason to expect
similar results by applying this sys-
tenn to woodlot management. With
agricultural agents in all of the coun-
ties of the State, whose duty it is to
bring to the aid of the farmers
| special knowledge covering their
problems, there is no reason to doubt
that the woodlot can be put on a pro-
fitable basis

Four-Foofed Epicure

Here is a fox story with moral:
A certain family in Colorado, writes
contributor, caught young fox, which
they kept chained to kennel. They
fed the little fellow great deal of
bread
Presently they began to miss their
chickens. They thought first of all Of
the young fox, but it did not seem
likely that he could kill them, chained
as he was. Nevertheless, several mem
bers of the family concealed themselves
and watched. They saw the fox take
his bread to the end of the chain, then
walk back few steps and drop 1t on
the ground. After that he retired to
his kennel and lay down.
sooner or later the chickens saw the
bread and gathered for feast At
the right moment the fox sprang
among them and had chicken dinner,
The moral is plain: all of US like
variety in our diet.-Youth's Com
panion.

the village schoolhouse, where the
beautiful new flag was flung to the

Spirit of ChiUalry
to BE Peircarndted

The spirit of chivalry is being rein
carnated. That spirit of self-sacrifice
and benevolence which characterized
the knights Templar and Knights
Hospitaiers in the old days has been
reborn in the Most Noble order of
Crusaders, an English organization
in which many of England's highest
and lowest born are enrolled.
Taking it's inspiration of service
from the comradeship of the army, the
patron saint of the order is the Tn
known Warrior on whose tomb
wreath is to be solemnly laid by the
Crusaders every year. The ritual of
the organization has not been divulged,
all the apparatus of password, sign
and token being adopted in the man
ner of Treemasonry.
The conciave meets in a secret place
and the members are sworn not TO Gi-
vulge what takes place. The specific
purpose of the order is to create q
body of men prepared to perform
public service of an underlined char
acter and to help all those in difficulty.
Its cardinal tenets are to honor God.
to be true to the king, to serve the
country, to exercise personal self-sac-
rifice and to practice as well as to
profess brotherhood without diStinc
ton of rank or class. Vows of loyal
ty, obedience service and self-Sacri-
flee are taken by the 1000 members
now enrolled who, before being admit
Of tiot
The members are in three ranks,
freenien, yoemen and esquires. The
robes worn at their ceremonies are
similar to those of the Hospitalers.
The esquires wear a black gown and
hood, over which is a Surcoat of white
linen with a red cross on the breast
The yoemen wear green, and the free
men, earth-colored attire. The head
of the order the pro grand master
wears rich crimson robes with a white
cross ON the arm
One of the first meetings of the or
der was in Westminster abbey in
London a few days ago, amid all the
rappings and sp!endor of medieval
pageant. At this time the pro-grand
master addressed his subjects
you have" he said made it your
high aim to resolve to recover for this
century the spirit of the age of chiv-
airy, whose keynote was brotherhood
md whose talisman was service. 1t
Is fitting therefore, that such a mis-
sion should be sealed in this abbey
Aurch where every stone-from the

rs the Unknown Warrior-iS in its
silence an eloquent and immutable
witness to the unfading chivalry of
our race"
The gathering was perhaps the most
unique ever assembled under the Brit
ish flag. The men, democratically
equaized by the strange robes, OBJ
viously belonged to all classes. Many
were unmistakable workmen, and one
is told that the order makes a strong
appeal in the industrial districts. The
procession. filing out of the church
after the ceremonies, glided to the
slow and rhythmic cadences of the
Gregorian chant.
