Hosv the american Country Boy
~~s Benefits from, Army Training

Army with an inquiring mind and
a fund of practical experience,
declares the veteran of 1913. He
is a good student. He has learned
to work with his hands as well as
his brains. He is quick to grasp
the exceptional opportunities which
modern military service provides.
When he returns to the farm he
finds that his skill in handling a
"ieep," a truck, or a tank for Uncle
Sam has fitted him expertly to care
for agricultural machinery. He
has learned the economy of trans
portation. He has been observing
of the practice of farmers in other
sections of the country. He sees
where improvements may be made.
He knows more of conservation.
Active service in our Army has
been Americas greatest training
school for the professions, in
science, and in business. In every
period in the nations history the
leaders in civil life have been
largely those who in their youth
answered their country's call to
defense, and first of these has been
the country boy.

The American country boy-that
stalwart fellow from the farms and
the towns and smaller cities-has
contributed not only his Drawn to
Uncle Sans armies, but exem-
plifies patriotism, initiative, and
Intelligent discipline as well.
Such is the gist of authoritative
commentary on the rank and file of
the army in every instance where
either soldiers have been called to
the nations defense. Today the
parents of the young men lately
called into service are asking what
the army in turn does for the coun-
try bow. Here is the answer:
"He gains broadening expert
ence in adventure, friendship, and
learning which only service in a
common cause can give"

Woodland Management Is
Important To All Farmers

these areas may be turned into
profitable farm woodlands and by
so doing help in preparing and
carrying out well-rounded farm
ing plan which will tend to utilize
farm labor during periods when
it is not needed for other jobs and
bring in additional income during
the winter months.
Good woodland management
consists of maintaining a full
stand of trees of all sizes in the
woodland, selectively Gu t IN g
some of the mature trees each
year for the market, and obtain
ing fleetwood from the tops of the
marketed trees and from thinings
among the immature trees.
Many farms already possess
woodlands that are we'll stocked
with good species of trees, others
have woodlands that are grown
over with weed trees and brush
which will never produce income
for the farm, and still others
have no woodland at all The first
consideration then is study of
the tree species now existing to
determine whether they are of
satisfactory kind for the need Of
the farm and the market in flu
ture years. If it is found that
there is nothing there but weed
species or idle land, plans should
be made to establish the desired

The proper development of
farm woodlands will make them
more profitable, add to the COM
forts Of the home, and increase the
value of the farm as an invest
ment. The farm woodland can be
made to provide the farm needs in
the form of building material,
fencing, fuel, repairs of all kinds,
and many other needs, as well as
prUviding a Windbreak for the
buildings, a shelter for livestock,
protection of land from erosion, a
means of profitable employment
of men and teams during other
wise spare or idle time, a source
Of income from the sale of forest
products, and increasing the good
appearance of the farm. Even
where there is no timber cut and
sold a farm woodland pays for
itself in the supplies for home
use that are obtained from it.
Farm woodland should not ne
cessarily occupy the best soil on
the farm. Trees as a rule will
grow and are grown on less fer
tiIe, stony. thin land and on steep
slopes. Unused corners and rough
idle land are good places to es-
Gsblish useful, fast-growing trees.

species as soon as possible.
It may be necessary, if in weed
species, to plant the open spots or
clear off an area around where
the young trees are planted, of
sufficient size to give the young
trees an opportunity to grow. 1t
may be that the land selected for
woodland has no cover on it now
and may be severely eroded. Then
plans should be made to check
the erosion and establish young
trees as soon as possible.
Trees improve and build up the
soil through a process of deposit
ing leaves, small tWigs, and other
tree litter on the ground to de-
compose and form a layer of dark
colored vegetable mold which i'm
proves the soil and stores up mois-
ture. This in turn prevents ero-
sion on the immediate woodland
and also tends to help control ero-
sion and flood damage on the re-
naming acres of the farm by
slowing down run-off.
Fuel wood should be gathered
in such a way as to release future
timber trees so that they may
grow and attain volume rapidly.
Fuel wood cutting should be
done as a ''weeding process, that
is, the weed trees should be taken
out for the same reason weeds are
hoed out of the corn field. The
good trees need the light, space,
soil moisture, and plant food that
would otherwise be taken by the
less valuable trees. Normally, the
trees which should be removed
for fuel wood are: trees which
have been overtopped by others
and have had their growth stun
ted; trees which have been
seriously damaged by disease or
by insect attacks, or trees liable
to such attacks (for example in
this section, dead Chestnut); trees
which have been badly SCARED by
fire; trees that are crooked and of
little value as timber or pulp
wood; slow growing trees that
are crowding out fast growing
trees; sound dead trees; and large
trees that cannot be marketed.
BY planning for this cutting each
year to supply the farm needs
eventually a clean, straight stand
of fast growing trees will be
developed.
In planning to cut the mature
taken out each year to assure con-
timber trees they should be mar
ked in advance and just enough
tinuous cuts of the same amount
and the profitable use of the farm
labor and teams during the win
ter months when this labor is not
being utilized for other profitable
purposes. Care should be taken in
cutting out the mature trees to
prevent damage to the young
growth coming along. This young
crop of trees should be protected
against grazing and by all means
from fire so as to assure steady
growth each year. By this method
of selective cutting ian income
may be derived from the farm
woodland each year just as if you
had harvested a crop of corn or
small grain.

such merchandise provided the
public desires the removal, and
stocks of Japanese-made goods
generally are at an extremely low
ebb here, a survey revealed.
The majority of the city's stores
have purchased little or nothing
from Japan during the past three
years, the survey indicated.

THE WONDERFUL
SEASONS
By Mrs. Malinda Craft
IdleWild, N. G..

We view the wonderful seasons
AS year after year they unfold;
The glories of Gods creation;
It's beauties have never been told.
O, the beauties of sweet spring
time!
When the earth's all covered in
green,
And trimmed with beautiful flo
Wers,
Then the beauties of spring are
seen.
When on bright and dewey morn
ings
We view the green earth and the
sky,
And the birds are sweetly sing
ing;
Then we know that summer is
nigh.
Summer, the beautiful summer!
With waving fields of golden
grain.
All bathed in beautiful sunshine
And watered with showers of rain
The rain, with beautiful sun
shine,
Makes fruits and vegetation grow,
And often in the horizon
We see the beautiful rainbow.
Then comes the wonderful au-
tumn,
With the crops all gathered in,
With the trees all robed in scar
let
And gold-all but the evergreen
It is near the close of autumn
When the leaves come fluttering
down,
And lay in field and forest
A beautiful blanket of brown.
But purest of all is winter
When the earth's all covered IN
white,
And bathed in beautiful sunshine,
With jewels which dazzled the
sight.
Beautiful, beautiful winter!
Fit season the year to adorn;
Glorious, glorious winter!
The season our Savior was born.

Red-Inspired Strikes

THE country is last becoming alert to the fact that
current delays and descriptions in the national defense
program are following the lines of definite and vast
program of COMMUNIST SABOTAGE.
President Roosevelt has declared that Communist
activity IS the root of the strike evil IN specific defense
industries.
Defense Commissioner Knudsen has said the same
Communst-nspired labor unrest WHICH WRECKED France
is becoming dangerous and potentially disastrous factor
The time is now at hand for the people of the United
States to re-examine their whole attitude toward COM
munsm.
The majority of the American people have always
felt the menace of communism exaggerated that the
number of actual Communists was not large and that
the capacities for evil inherent in Communist activities
were negligible
IN FACT the public attitude has been to let the Com
l munist movement in the United States, admittedly
subversive have its head and blow off its seam--the
theory being that 1t was quite harmless anyway and
would soon exhaust itself.
Even people who have regarded the Communist
movement more seriously have contended that it was
entitled to free expression under democracy and that
the evils of suppression to be feared thah the
evils of subversion
In other words, the popular belief was that mere
ADVOCACY of overthrow of the American system of
government was permissible and harmless and that it
would be time enough To think about remedial
when actual ACTS Of violence against the government
occurred.
WELL, we most certainly have the ACTS of
w violence.
Our most vital Industries tied up.
The defense production which rely for our
security, and which government has decided IS
necessary preserve the democracies, is being ham,
strung.
What is going to be done about it?
Are we going continue to let this vicious enter
prise thrive in midst-a fostering sore spreading
infection throughout entire Industrial and social
structure?
Are going to let the Communist Party continue
to masquerade legal political party having the same
shelter under democratic institutions as the American
groups it opposes and seeks to destroy?
going to let CoUmunsts continue to instruct
in
to the American classroom?
7 EFT remember that Abraham Lincoln said that
l. danger sufficient to destroy America appears
at must spring up AMONG U.s. it cannot come
from abroad.
IF destruction be our lot must ourselves be its
author and fnisher."
The brazen and appalling acts of Communist sabotage
