Careful Cutting
Helps Woodlot
New York Farmer Cut 500
Worth of Fuel From Each
Acre, Aiding Stand. !.


In a woodlot on the farm of Henry
Kellogg of Barnes Corners in Lewis
county, 500 worth of fuel wood was
recently removed from each acre and
the woodIot was left in better condi-
ton than before cutting, according to
]. A. Cope, forester at Cornell uni
versity, who had charge of selecting
and cutting the trees.
Woodlot Improvement.
This was part of d wo3dl0t improve
ment campaign conducted by the Lew
is county farm bureau in which Mr.
kellogg agreed to use his woodlands
to show what could be done. An area
was laid out in 20-acre woodlot, and
the trees marked to he cut were only
those that were defective, crooked or
were what are commonly called
weed" species.
At woods meeting, attended by
farmers of the community, the marked
trees which had been carefully cut
and ranked were measured. 1t was
found that so 15-inch cords of wood
had been cut from each acre. This
fuel wood had a roadside value of
5000. Mr.. Kellogg kept record of
time required to cut, haul and rank
this wood, and found the so cords
could be delivered to the roadside for
$780, including saving it into l5-inch
lengths, thereby netting him a clear
stumpage value of 500 an acre.
Saved Crop Trees.
The group next visited the lot
where the cutting was done to see
that the main crop trees of thrifty
ash, Eastwood and hard maple had
not been touched The cutting had
improved the condition of the stand
so that the crowns of the remaining
trees will be able TO expand and thus
diameter-growth will be greatly in
creased. Mr.. KellOgg's experience in
Dictated that. as far as Lewis county
woodlots so. "you can eat your cake
and have it, too" Mr.. Cope says.

Sinking Smut Is Most
WIDELY Spread Disease

Sinking smut is the most widely
spread disease of. wheat and next to
black stem rust is the most destrnc-
tive. 1t has been estimated to cause
an annual loss in the United States
of 25.9O0,OOO bushels. Sinking smn:
grows within the wheat plant and
eventually forms smut balls in the
place of the kernels. 1t causes a
general shrinkage in the outline Of
the head but does not otherwise
greatly change the outward appear
ance of the head and can be detected
in the field only by close examination
or by seeming its odor which is sim
liar to that of decaying fish. When
the smutted wheat is threshed many
of the smut balls are broken and
some of the smut dust or spores Is
lodged on the surfs Pes of sound
grains. If the smutte = grain is sown.
the smut spores terminate with the
seed wheat and again develop within
the plant. In this way the disease is
carried from one crop to the next.

State Game Laws Govern
Hunting in the Forests

Can anyone hunt and kill game in
the national forests? This question
is frequently asked Department of
Agriculture officials. Hunting and fish,
ing in all national forests, says the
forest service. are governed by the
game laws of the state in which the
national forest is located. Most for
est officers are deputy state game
wardens and it is their duty to en-
force the state game laws at all times.
In some of the national forests,
however, national game refugees have
been set aside for the preservation of
wild life. In these refugees hunting
and fishing are not allowed. except
under special circumstances and with
the approval of the authorities in
charge.

ed in the crippled areas.
Although demoralized communi-
cation left the exact toll in doubt
six persons were known to be dead
approximately twenty-five seriously
injured and thousands homeless
The damage, 1t was believed, would
amount to about S5,000,000.
Flood Danger Is Growing
In Missouri and Kansas alone,
$4,000 acres of farm land we're un-
der water. Ceaseless downpours in
those two States added to the flood
danger at several points, although
at Kennett, Mo-, and Newpork, Ark,
centers of the inundated districts,
the situation was reported to be
improved. Pressure of the waters
had been relieved by washed-out
levees.
In southwestern Oklahoma, where
the toll in lives and property ran
highest, relief work went forward
steadily.
Hadricke and Blair, reduced to
shambles by a tornado late Satur-
day. were visited by volunteers of
neighboring communities.
Funeral preparations were made
for four victims and medical aid
was administered to three dozen in
jured.
Ship in Army Tents
Two hundred army tents we're
shipped from Ft. Sill. Okla. to house
part of the 1000 homeless, and it
was believed no further aid from
outside the section would be needed.
Few buildings we're left standing
in Blair and Headrick, towns Of 500
and 800 persons respectively, and
many farm homes in the thirty
mile path of the twister also we're
demolished.
A gap 200 feet wide in a levee on
the st. Francis River twenty miles
north of Kennett unleashed flood
waters over $1,000 acres of land.
About 10000 acres already had been
flooded on the previous day by a
crevasse fifteen miles south Of that
point.
Red Cross headquarters were estab-
lished at Kennett and today several
hundred refugees were receiving
care. A thousand men were work
ing on the dikes to prevent further
breaks.
Wheat Belt Damaged
Three thousand residents Of Jack
son County, Arkansas, were home
less after the swollen White River
overflowed its banks and flooded
$4,000 acres. Aid was asked for the
refugees of Stephens and nearby
towns. The damage there was ex-
pected to exceed $1,008,000
Extensive damage was reported in
the Kansas wheat belt, particularly
in Stafford and Reno Counties,
where a tornado and destructial
hailstorm struck late Saturday.
