Pulpwood Production In Maine

If the pulpwoo cut in Maine during the logging
of 1923 placed in long pile four feet wide and
four feet high it would extend for 1870 miles.
If piled along the automobile highway between Port
land and Bangor it would make six tiers four feet high
each side of the road twelve tiers in all for the entire
distance and leave than 10000 cords not piled.
It would make five tiers along the automobile high
way between Portland and Van Buren, distance of 3
miles
In no other way may the tremendous pulpwood pro-
ucon of the Maine forests be graphically set forth
attention called to the Importance of these forests which
produce the material for many other industries besides
paper making
During year since 1916 has the annual cut of pulp
wood been less than million cords and the average has
been safely above that amount.
The most important point to the citizens of Maine in
alon to this industry that this very large production
we'll within the amount of growth of their forests
E each year
Nothing but the continued losses by forest fires which
destroys the growth the ravages OF harmful insects
. Will stop this production of the Maine woodlands.
It will pay every resident of Maine to carefully guard
against forest fires

Ourselves and Industry
Credit Is Easy To Lose and Hard To Get
By e. E. Lincoln

ern industrial system raw materials
must be bought and paid for a long
time before they are to be sold as
finished goods. Merchants, too,
must lay in their stocks in advance
of consumers demands. 1t is neces-
sary, then, for manufacturers and
dealers to have considerable
amount of funds in hand in advance
of the sale of their products
While goods are being manufac-
tured, wages and other expenses
must be paid. Only small proper
ton of producers have sufficient
capital on hand to enable them to
meet such charges before they have
sold their goods. Consequently,
they must obtain credit from some
source and they usually get it from
a bank.
In this way credit gives pro-
ducers vastly greater command
over commodities and service than
they could obtain by relying on
their individual resources alone.
Without ample credit industrial ac-
Invites would be reduced and wage
earners and salaried folk would be
the first to suffer.
-Western Electric Nezgs
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1926-11-19

A noted banker once facetiously
explained credit as follows:
Credit - thing which man
who does not need can get in
amounts limited only by the extent
to which people know he does not
need it, but thing which the man
who needs so badly that his name
is already on the list of the candi-
dates for the poor farm cannot get
at all''.
Credit may be broadly defined as
the power to command present
goods or money in exchange for a
future equivalent. 1t is difficult to
establish, easy to lose and almost
impossible to regain when once mis-
used.
In every transaction in which a
promise to pay takes the place of
actual payment we have credit
But credit rests on something more
than a mere promise. There are
many people who are quite willing
to make all the necessary promises,
but who cannot get credit.
Credit greatly facilitates produc-
ton by permitting the fullest en-
ployment of capital. In our mod

BETWEEN PRIVATE

that these great units will be used
for domination and extinction of
equality or opportunity. Arising
from this fear and the wrongs done in
the past we have enacted much legis-
lation to compel competition, such as
the Sherman and Clayton Acts and
numerous state enactmentS The
original conception of this legislation
seems to have been to maintain a
great host of highly competitive units
in every trade. By degrees we have
been retreating from this notion be-
cause the competition 1t required be-
came at times highly destructive"
maintain competition in the utilities
transportation, light, power, and com
munications, meant a fabulous cost in
duplicating equipment with less finan-
clal stability, increased operating ex-
penses, poor service and increased
rates to the consumer The federal
government and most of the As states
acting independently, have aband-
oned competition reaching to each
consumer of these services as the
method of holding down rates and
holding up service, and have estab-
lished regional monopolies. A con-
siderable element of direct or indirect
competition still exists, for there are
alternate services that can in large
sense be made available-other rail
ways, other forms of power, other
forms of light, etc, SO that the stimu-
lus to Improvement is still held"
Government guidance and super
vision is recognized by business to-
day, more than, formerly, especially
so long as the supervision does not
regulate private enterprise to the ex-
tent of robbing it of it's initiative and
efficiency. In spite of the trend of the
times against, rather than toward,

December little higher than last year,
the general level being practically the
same. Chicago this year is on the ex-
port basis, whereas last year it was
some l2@l6c above.
Cattle prices have been recovering
from the midsummer slump. Prices
late in September reached new high
levels for the year, although not up
to the level reached in the squirt of
last year. Yearling steers have reached
$12.40 in Chicago.
Hog receipts at the ten leading
markets in the first eight months. of
this year were 16,310,659, against 49,
933,888 in the corresponding months
of last year, decline of nearly IA
per cent, but in the month of August
they were nearly 10 per cent higher
than in that month last year. Weights
are now running we'll above the aver
age of last year, SO that at present
pork products are being turned out at
considerably higher rate, and storage
stocks have been increasing. Hog
prices are above the summer rates,
and may yield little OH the fall
marketings, but no great decline is
looked for in the near future.
The Department of Agriculture cal
culates that the average purchasing
price of the farm products group in
August was only 81 in August as
compared with 90 in August of last
year, reckoning parity with all COM
modities as 100. On October LIST the
principal loss on agricultural prices
from a year ago is in cotton. A
comparison is given herewith:

reports that because American bankers
have floated loans for some of the
German steel concerns they are some
howl or other mixed up in this for
eign steel dumping, upon reflection,
will be seen to be of little weight
Beyond certain limits, bankers can
not dictate the business policies OF
borrowers. The proceeds of the
loans have gone to rehabilitate Euro
pean industry, and this necessarily
means some increase in competition
from abroad. We would scarcely wish,
however, to keep the markets for our
export products in state of perpet-
ual inroverishment from fear that if
they regained prosperity they might
compete with us.
AS a matter of fact, the American
steel industry does not fear competi-
ton. Our exports of iron and steel
are steadily exceeding our imports,
indicating that we are meeting for
eign competition not only at home but
in foreign markets. During the frs.
|eight months of this year our 1ron
and steel exports amounted to 1,.304,-
1888 tons, an increase of 19 per cent
over figures for the corresponding p,
riod of last year. Commenting OH
this phase of the steel business, Pres:
dent Grace, of the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation, recently said:
Fears over foreign steel competition
are subsiding. We are still exporting
more steel than is being imported. Euro
pean currenciees are being stabilized,

ut makes no difference whether
you are selling vacuum cleaner, a
dish of spinach, or a bath, the job
can easily be done if real desire is
finally created. 1t may take much
careful davance work before your
customer even nibbles at the spinach.
Perhaps during the, entire campaign
absolutely no signs of interest will be
shown. But if your spinach is tempt
ing, if your publicity is good, and if
your sales talk is both appealing and
in the language of your customer,
then trade will pick up and your hard
earned profits will begin to pour in.
"Of course, some innocent parent
may try the idea out, and just before
closing the contract will let it be
known that there is whole kettle of
spinach out in the kitchen which must
be eaten so that it won't go to waste.

State Cheese Wins
Worlds Gold Medal

The gold medal for Edam cheese
was awarded to the Purity Creamery
company, Leavenworth, Washington,
according to an announcement re-
ceived yesterday from the National
Dairy Show, which has just closed at
Detroit. Michigan. The dairy show is
an annual feature at which interna-
tional dairy products are entered in
competition, and it's awards are most
priced of any that can be secured on
the north American continent.
Richard Mus, proprietor of the
Purity Creamery, was induced by the
Manufacturers Association of Wash
ington to enter his cheese this year
at the Washington State Fair, Yaki-
ma, where 1t was awarded the blue
ribbon and first prize money. Backed
by many years Of experience in the
manufacture of this type of cheese in
Holland and being assured of the SUI
perior qualities of his Washington
product, Mr.. Mus was encouraged to
compete at Detroit where the new
laurels were won for the dairy
products of Washington.
The best dairy cows in the world
have scored from the state of Wash
ington, and with conditions favorable
for the production of such quality
and quantity records there is every
reason why the best milk, butter and
cheese should be produced here. The
manufactured dairy products of the
state now rank sixth in value among
the ten leading industrial groups with
an annual output valued in excess of
$4,000, 100000. There are at present
80 plants in the state engaged In the
making of cheese.

quently the only possible way of &C
complishment. Whether or not pub
lie docks should be operated by pri-
yate interests is question, as shown
by the several systems now in use
along the Pacific Coast and elsewhere
Notwithstanding other established
methods, the operation of municipal
docks by the municipality, especially
in new port appears to be the
most satisfactory.
AS already outlined, the community
is justified in building dock facilities
to attract cargo and shipping, with
the idea of future rather than i'm
mediate returns. Once sufficient
volume of tonnage and bottoms has
been attracted to the port, private
operators will automatically establish
their own docks, thus adding to the
tax and pay rolls of the community.
By allowing private operators to take
over the management of municipal
docks instead of installing it's own
terminal facilities, the community sur
renders the very thing which first at
tracted tonnage and carriers to it's
port, and thus precludes the POSSIBLE
ity of continuing to interest additional
cargo, new shipping lines. ETC. Again,
by operating it's own docks, the mu-
nicipality is in a stronger position TO
regulate port tariff charges and WELD
a stabilizing influence over destruc-
tive competition too often attempted
by private dock operators. Moreover,
it should be the constant aim OF the
public-owned-and-op docks to
assist and facilitate cargo movement
through the port by providing better
equipment and terminals than compel
ing harbors, which equipment and
terminals, for monetary reasons, often
cannot be installed by private oper-
ators. With further view to assist
ing and facilitating cargo movement
and building up private enterprises,
the public-owned-and-o docks
should avoid direct competition with
private docks, bidding only for new
private operators, due to lack of ia
cilities, cannot advantageously handle.
By pursuing an intelligent policy
towards the private operators and
fostering in every possible way CO.
operation, both private, and public
operators, and the port as a whole,
will benefit. If the private operator
with justifiable confidence feels that
the public docks are working with
him, offering facilities for handling
not supply, but unwilling to take over
accounts which he can handle, the re-
lationship is<bound to be harmonious.
The influence of the public docks can
further assist the private operators by
bringing pressure to bear upon those
of their associates who persistently
engage in price cutting and question
able port practices.
Admitting in principle the value to
the community of public-owned-and-
operated docks, the system of opera
ton is of prime Importance. The fact
that these public properties are not
dependent entirely upon revenue to
meet capital expenditure, mainten.
ance, operation, ETC., should in no way
excuse inefficient management Every
thing should be done to place the
operation on as businesslike a plane
as possible
