still under influence Of severe wealth
er conditions the first half of Feb
ruary. Produce shipments decreased
about 10 percent during the first
week Of the month and were is per-
cent below those. of the same week
last year. The decrease was mainly
in potatoes. but toward the middle
of the month potato shipments were
recovering sharply, especially from
Far Western sources, attracted by
somewhat higher price levels in
central markets.
Frost injury in the South as re-
ported thus far has not been very
severe and southern shipments show
usual tendency to increase with the
progress of the season. OF the lead

Trade has been quiet in market
eenters but number of carloads on
track was being reduced during the
cold spell. Prices the second week
of February were steady to firm.
There was a little speculative buy
ing in some lines. Dealers reported
light demand for large lots of let

The potato markets were showing
a little more strength with the re-

increasing supplies on the way.

today, and the past relived in tracing
their sinuous lengths.
TODAY Skyline Drive, largely con-
structed by P. w. A. funds, tops
the many vistas that crowd its way.
A long tunnel, unique in the East,
leads through mountain. cutting off
long miles of travel, and prepares the
motorist for keener enjoyment of the
magnif1cence of the mountain heights
and the smiling valleys below. The
roadSides have been sloped and
planted by E. c. w. aid. Big Meadows,
one of the best locations for gliders in
the East, and which frequently has
been used during the past three years,
is now the site Of a c. c. c. camp
Even in its unfinished state, Skyline
Drive was used by over 100000 cars
last year.
Despite the new highway, one may
travel in primitive fashion in the
Shenandoah area. The old road by
which vacationists once reached the
heart of what is now the Shenandoah
National Park Is still in existence.
Visitors to the region as late as a
dozen years ago will remember their
trek over it on horseback or in
horse-drawn vehicles. Improved
somewhat, while the present Skyline
Drive was under construction, it now
may be negotiated in small cars.
The trails are still there for mixers
and horsemen. Wherever old trails
were tnterfered with by construction,
new trails were located by the Ma
tional Park Service, hidden deep with
in the forest. Indeed, the modern
Skyline Drive paradoxically has made
the region like a hiker's paradise by
making access to it comfortable and
convenient.
So as the pioneer road has resulted
in modern highways, the roads OF to-
day lead back to the trail. Adven-
ture still beckons to those who search
for it.

PROFIT IN OLD MILL

during Colonial days and still Is. 1t
is powered by mountain stream.
The Forest Service, ever anxious to
promote public interest in and use OF
the national forests, urges Washing
tonians to drive over some time and
see the saWmill, located at Birdhaven.
Philip Bard, the sawmills owner.
keeps the hoary device financially pro-
ductive. He believes it may have been
constructed as early as 1777, for offl-
cial papers of that year mention the
house and outbuildings on the mill
site. Bard lives in the house, which
may be older than the mill and has
fascinating collection of antiques.
The original mill had an up-and-
down saw driven by a flutter wheel,
3 feet 4 inches across the face. Bard
says it was located at the foot Of
l4-foot vertical penStock 8 feet square
which conducted heavy falling
stream into the buckets of the fiutter
wheel There was a crank directly
on the flutter wheel which drove the
vertical saw. Since iron was exceed
ingly SARGE in the pioneer days. most
of the construction was of white oak.
The f1utter wheel was kept in opera
ton more than go years. The first
"overshot" wheel was installed in 1880,
occupying the same space as the old
sluiceway and flutter wheel.
The overShot wheel was also used
with the vertical saw, and the old
blade still hangs on the side Of one
of the outbuildings. The present cir
cular saw was not installed until the
present waterwheel was built in 1924.
The old up-and-down saw had q
capacity of 100 board feet Of pine per
day; of oak, not over rs. The present
circular saw, under favorable condi-
tions, can cut 1,500 board feet Of pine
per day.
The new overshot wheel was con.
structed almost entirely of white oak
sawed by the previous mill. 1t Is 4l5
feet across the face, with a diameter
of II feet 2 inches. Through the
center is q white oak spindle 81
inches in diameter and over 16 feet
long. There are Sc buckets" on the
wheel face, and under a full head Of
water the mill develops about IL
horsepower. The ends of the spindle
are of iron. and they turn in bearings
of selected limestone bedded into oak
caps on top Of the two masonry
pillars that support the assembly.
This type of bearing is used because
there is a constant splash of water
which would wash grease out Of metal
bearings.
