Condition of Timber Is De-
Gliding Loan Factor.

The farm forests are the farmers
best savings banks and in many In
stances the presence or condition OF
the timber on farm is the deciding
factor In the making or refusing of a
loan by banks.
"We believe that~the farm forest Is
one of the best savings banks that our
farmers have" says R. w. Graeber,
extension forester for the North Caro-
lima State college. "Our demonstra-
lions show that the timber land can
be made one of the most profitable
parts of the farming business and we
know of some banks which always
give special consideration to the tim
Der on the farm in making loans Sc
cured by first mortgages on farm real
estate"
Mr.. Graeber states that the Federal
Land bank of Springfield, Mass, con-
siders that stand Of merchantable
timber is liquid asset and stand of
young timber Increases in value each
year. These two facts make for safety
III
loan. 1t is this banks experience that
farms with good woodlots sell readily,
but after the merchantable growth is
removed, their value is apparently de-
preciated more than the actual stump
age value of the timber removed. For
example, the bank says that WELL
timbered farm which would sell for
$1,000 would not sell for over $1,000 If
stripped of timber that had stump
age value of only $1,000
Timber fills in the waste spaces and
balances out the farm, states Mr..
Graeber. 1t is a crop that has stead
lily increased in value while other farm
crops have been subject to ruinous
prices in some years.

Serious Damage Observed
by Inspectors Traced to
Botchy Operation.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultureo
Serious damage to hams, as OBJ
served in federal meat inspection and
also as reported by the trade to the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, has been traced to the careless,
insanitary castration of pigs. The
damage frequently does not attract at
tention until the hams are about to be
trimmed for curing. The principal in
juries are those caused by assesses
or the scar tissues that develop in
neglected cases, resulting In the con-
demnation, at federally inspected pack
Ing houses, of infected hams. Some
times the damage is so extensive that
only a small portion of the meat may
be utilized.
Precautions Neglected.
On account of the simplicity of
castrating pigs, farmers or their hired
help frequently do not realize the i'm
portance of proper precautions and
care. As a consequence, inflammation
or the formation of scrotal assesses
occur.
Among the principal causes Of the
trouble are the use of dirty knives,
failure to clean the area of operation,
and turning the pigs into insanitary
pens or feed lots Immediately after the
operation. Under such conditions
many of the wounds are liable to be-
come infected, finally resulting in DAM
age to the hams.
Damage May Be Avoided.
While it is not practical under farm
conditions to go to extremes in sani-
tation, much of the damage may be
avoided by the following reasonable
precautions advised by the United
States Department of Agriculture
The area of operation should first be
thoroughly cleaned by washing with
soap and water. The operator should
wash his hands in disinfectant, and
the knife should be sterilized with
boiling water or a disinfectant before
1t is used. Immediately following the
operation the wounds should be
smeared with pine tar as protection
| against dirt and flies. The tar should
be heated to the boiling point and al
lowed to cool before it is used. Then

is likely to occur. Then, too, in the
case of disease infection or work In

well as extra bushels to each acre by
adequate soil treatment.
The campaign for more and better
clover and other legumes is given
a decided boost by fertilizing at
wheat-sowing time, seedlings to be
made next spring in the wheat. BY
this means two crops-wheat and
clover-are benefited by one applica-
ton. This residual" effect Of fertil-
izer is an important one economical
ly and most experiments have shown
that it is greater on clover or other
seedlings made with the wheat than
upon the succeeding grain or corn
crop.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Astounding tactics are indulged in
by ladies' who get on street cars and
busses without their fares in hand.
Despite admonitions painted in large
letters, so that all who stand and
wait may read, countless women daily
hold up public vehicles while search
ing through a pocketbook for dime
A woman who stands 20 minutes for
bus, for instance, will wait until
she actually gets aboard before she
once thinks of the mundane matter
of the fare.
Here is the good Mrs. Potherington.

along every IL minutes, but actually
Is always behind time.
Constant rerouting, due to torn-up
streets, is partly responsible for this
condition. Huge public busses are
forced to use streets hardly wide
enough for two lines of passenger ve-
hicles
Mrs. Potherington, however, is not
concerned with causes. She stands
patiently, her fare neatly tucked away
in her capacious handbag the mean
while. watching the passersby.
Mrs. Potherington swears that in
no other city in the world will one
see such a queer array of freakishly
dressed women, many of them her
own age, wearing costumes which
must have come out of the ark, my
dear"
Really, they are positive frights.
Why, the women of Triple Cross Cor
ners, back home. dress much more
modishly. you know. And these terri
BILE flapper persons! They, on the
other-er-er-hand do not dress
at all.
At this juncture the bus comes
along.
Now, it would have been the easiest
thing in the world for Mrs. Pother-.
ington, during the 20 minutes she was
cooling her heels on the corner, to
have delved into her handbag, alb
stracted her fare and to have had it
all ready to drop into the fare box.
Her actual procedure is as follows:
"Ten cents?" she queries, sweetly,
knowing as well as the driver what
the legal amount IS.
"Yes. ma am" says he. making no
motion to start the vehicle. Company
rules prohibit him moving until the
fares are in the box. A transit corn
pany is obdurate, in this respect. No
tickee, no movie.
Mrs. Pother1ngton slowly opens her
large handbag. The remainder of the
company wishes from the bottom of
it's composite heart that Mrs. Poth-
eringtola had had the forethought to
have had her fare ready, but. lack
ing that. that she will be able to find
it quickly. right there at the top of
her container.
There is no such good luck. There

Jenkins Smith, under his breath.
Mrs. Potherington, not hearing him,
proceeds very methodically to look for

much dignity, dragging forth a bill.
The other passengers, having ex-
pected a ticket, which would allow the
wheels to turn around. groan in muf-
fed unison at the sight of the bill.
Suppose it is a twenty?
:: !; :; x
AS good luck has it. however. the
bill is a one. quickly enough changed
by the ready driver into a strip of
tickets and several coins Of the realm.
Just drop ticket into the box,
lady" says the driver, grabbing the
levers.
Don't hurry me, young man." re-
plies Mrs. Potherington.
Don't do it, young man." says J.
Jenkins Smith, combining a threaten
ing tone with such a tremendous wink
that the driver nearly falls out the
window.
Mrs. Potherington drops the fare
into the box. There is an utter lack
of sound as the slight bit of paper
f1utterS to the bottom of the hopper.
SO this is what the bus stood still for.
The driver clicks the handle on the
side of the box. The fare disappears
in the strong-boX. The bus is off at
last, Smith, Mrs. Potherington and
the other passengers are on their way,
five minutes late, it is4 true, but un-
doubtedly moving at last.
Why will women do this?
Some men, of course, offend in the
same way, but they are few and far
between when compared with the
number of feminine offenders.
Public cooperation, to the extent of
having ones fare ready. is needed in
Washington, for the>sake of every one
who rides the cars and busseS.
Since this is such an easy matter
to attend to, there must be no other
reason for it than thoughtlessness,
that necessary evil that causes so
much unnecessary trouble in the
world.
