"Cabin de Luxe"

When I purchased my tickets,
the steamship man urged me
to take this mysterious cabin
: de luxe" There was but one of
these glorious cabins aboard,
he said, and we would ride in
, sumptuous comfort all the way
from TuniS to Marseilles. The
way he described the room, I

We hit the boat in the morn

Of every shape and variety were
being dumped on the deck only

hole. Cows, steers, horses, pigs,

smells.
Eventually, the gentleman

IN these days of financial difficulty among the
| farmers every possible source of income is
being exploited The neglected "woodlot" is re-
ceiving its attention, and many of the lessons
the Forest Service has sought through years of
education to bring home to the farmer are now
being learned through necessity and through
envious observation of the fortunate situation
of those who did take advice.
An example is found, for instance, in the case
of an Indiana farmer, who paid $50 for cut
over tract of land back in 1900 7 o investment,
to the short-sghted, may have seemed foolish,
but the farmer looking into the future. He
replanted the tract with young trees, and care
fully cultivated them during the early years of
their growth. Up to date he has obtained from
his 20 acres enough lumber to erect flve of his
farm buildings, has cut all the cordWood and

Wheat Failure His Russia

= USSIA, which started the wheat year like
N lion, ended up like lamb, with much of
the Spring wheat area failing to make crop.
The heavy shipment of wheat into the export
market during the early season caused con-
siderable anxiety among the wheat raisers of
other lands, but these heavy shipments follow
ing the completion of the Winter wheat harvest
fell off greatly. In many instances contracts
for Spring delivery were either Cancelled or re-
written at much lower price because of the
inferior grain which produced.
The Russian wheat fields nevertheless stand
as a constant threat to the American wheat
raiser, for bumper crop on the 348 00O, 900
acres reported to be sown this year would pro-
duce a yield which might well put a serious
dent in the market for American wheat.

posts he needed for his personal use, has sold
S7OO worth of products from the woodlot and
has a stand of timber left for which he was
recently offered $4,000 With all that realized
upon. he still has the 20 acres left.
Another farmer in Iowa has supplied his
home with fuel wood and has produced $4,000
board feet of construction timber from a small
woodlot Of two and half acres during the past
IT years.
These two examples are cited as showing what
a careful farmer can do with land ordinarily
considered worthless, either because of its I'M
availability as pillow lands or because 1t has be-

proper care and selection, only matured trees
are taken out for lumber and fuel wood Is oo-
