Morgan County Rambler Reports


A 1000 mile journey recently be-
ing completed, I shall give some ac-
count of myself. In October SER
les of meetings was held at Alfalfa,
O. Then a nearby church asked for
another meeting. After that came a
trip to New Jersey, into the cram
berry country, then back to Phila-
delphia where two intensely busy
days were spent at the international
exposition called after the fashion
of the Latins the .'Sesqui.'
1t is said that the cost of pro-
ducing this big affair was about
$26, 1000, 900, and the exhibits were
valued at 100000, ,000-a rather
costly affair. The grounds, includ-
ing League Island Navy Yard, com
prised 1000 acres upon which per-
haps 40 or more exhibition buildings
had been erected, five of them
being of immense proportions. The
stadium had 10000 to 10000 seats
and room for many more to stand,
while the vast auditorium accommo-
dated Is, 900. Here the big amplified
phonograph was distinctly heard,
and the color organ, playing col
ors instead of music, was demon
strated.
Both the Agriculture and Liberal
Arts buildings were interesting. In
the latter, Japan had an exhibition
that did her great honor, for it was
about the largest and finest display
made by any people. India had her
own building-with an admission
fee, but Japan took large space for
her exceedingly beautiful and ar
tistic exhibit, besides her part in the
educational building and elsewhere.

Large Demand For High Grade
Black Walnut Logs

With the growing popularity of
black walnut furniture and the in
creasing use of ply wood or veneer
by the manufacturers, the Forest
Service United States Department
of Agriculture points to the great
demand for high grade black wal
nut logs suitable for this use.
Logs suitable for cutting into We
neer, to bring a price of from $50
to 5000 thousand board feet at
the mill must be IS to "a inches in
diameter at the small end and prac-
tically clear of defects. Larger logs
Of good quality naturally bring high
er prices. but smaller logs and logs
of fair quality generally do not
bring more than about 800 thou
sand board feet at the mill, accord
ing to the department.
Logs at the mills bring higher
prices than logs in the woods or de-
livered at shipping point, as
freight is a very large item of cost.
The value of standing timber says
the Forest Service, depends greatly
on the distance from the mill to
where it is to be converted into tim
Der or veneer The price for stand
ing walnut trees is about $50 a
thousand board feet less on the
average than at the mill.
