Holland, Norway and Finland are
not far behind. The above map will
now darken quickly from month to

in Europe, so long forecast by food
experts, is now but step away.
Spain may be able to get some help
from the Argentine. In the case of
the other countries, however, their
main hope seems to be the United
States. Like the Argentine, the
United States not only holds large,
surplus carryovers of foodstuffs of
which it would be glad to get rid,
but each one of these starving coun-
tries holds in this country frozen
dollar balances ample to pay for the
food they need. Belgium, alone, has
several hundred million dollars In
assets here. It is then primarily a
question whether it can be arranged
to pass this food through the block

be taken in control by tight, neu-
trail agency which will supervise its
distribution to nom belligerent, civil
ian populations only-and guaran-
tee that it will not fall into other

~is on short rations. Only tiny Por-
tugal still commands normal food
supply. Before the first of the next
harvests can be reaped, five months
must elapse In some countries, re-
naming food stocks will have been
exhausted long before, when condi-
tions Of slow starvation which al

few months consumption.
The above map has been drawn to
bring the threatened areas into relief.
AS may be seen at a glance, the Brit
ish Isles, Germany, Italy and the
Balkans, although all on rations, are
not in danger. But the little, western
democracies, always dependent on
overseas supplies and now cut of by
the blockade, are already on semi
starvation basis.

picture are Belgium and Poland (the
latter because Of war devastation and

summer forage for over 10000 live
stock units in 1884. Thus the eco
nomic base and income of many
farms was actually double what it
would have been had the number
of livestock been limited to forage
produced on the individual farm
unit While we have an abundance
of summer forage for livestock.
some areas are being overgrazed
and there is definite need for all
concerned to realize the economic
value of this resource and so plan
its utilization that the maximum
longtime benefits are assured
Besides forage for livestock, for
est crops on our farms provide ma
terials for building purposes, fenc-
ing, and fuel Forest crops in the
form of Christmas trees, railroad
ties, fencing material, sawlogs, and
fleetwood provide cash incomes to
many farmers. The value of forest
products sold from the farm amount
ed to $4,000 in 1929 and to $4,000
in 1884 Through ignorance of the
values involved, many farm wood
lots have been stripped of their
growing stock of forest capital, so
that now even with the best of
management it will be years before
these lands can again return the
maximum income to the farm unit
For others that have thus far es-
capped exploitation there is definite
need for planned management so
that they may be able TO return
maximum benefits to the farm and
the county. Every acre of farm
woodland should be managed for a
definite purpose and kept at its
maximum producing capacity
whether it be for forage or Christ
mas trees, fencing material or saw
logs, or combination of all of these.

The Things Money Can't Buy

The late George Horace Lorimer,
for many years editor of the Satur-
day Evening Post, once wrote these
words. 1T is a good thing to have
money and things that money can
buy, but it is good, too, to check
up once in a while and make sure
you haven't lost the things that
money can't buy.
The things that money can't buy
would make a long list--here are
some of them:
Money can't buy real friendship
friendship must be earned.
Money can't buy clear conscience
square dealing is the price tag.
Money can't buy the glow of
good health--right living is the Sc
cret
Money can't buy happiness-hap
piness is mental attitude and one
may be as happy in a cottage as in
a mansion.
Money can't buy sunsets, singing
birds and the music of the wind in
the trees-these are as free as the
air we breathe.
Money can't buy inward peace
peace is the result of constructive
philosophy of life.
Money can't buy character-char-
acter is what we are when we are
alone with ourselves in the dark.
Continue the list yourself. You'll
agree among the things money can't
buy Aare some of the most valuable
treasures life has to offer. 1t is
good thing to check up new and
then to be sure we are not missing
these things.

Forest Resource and
Agriculture in County
Gives Results of Careful
Study of Resources Of
Lincoln County.

After so years of development in
agriculture we find farming in Lin
coin county closely allied with the
forest resource in many ways.
In 1889 there were 734 farms in
Lincoln county with a dependent
population of about 1900 people
38 per cent of the total population.
The majority of these farms are at
or below a bare subsistence level,
as is attested by the fact that 65.7
per cent of the farm operators were
forced to seek work off the farm to
supplement income in 1884. Forest
industry and Government work
projects supplied the major oppor-
tunities for the $1,000 man-days
worked off of the farm in 1894
Thus, there is a real need for out
side work to supplement farm in
come. This need will continue for
many years until such time as many
of our farm units can be developed
to the point where they Will return
suitable income to the operators
If we rule out the WPA as tenn
porary relief, the remaining major
opportunity for developing supple
mental rural income lies in securing
the maximum benefits from our
forest resources. In the year 1929
the earnings on 48 per cent of our
farms was less than $500 per farm
unit, and on 65.5 per cent earnings
were less than $1,000 per farm.
This includes the value of products
grown and consumed on the farm
In this respect Lincoln county has
30 per cent more farms in the low
income bracket than the average for
the state as a whole We have a
real problem to solve in regard to
rural incomes.
Forest lands and forest resources
form an integral part Of large
majority of our farm units. Farm
census statistics show that while
farms occupy 5.3 per cent of the to-
tai land area Of Lincoln county,
only one per cent or one-fifth of the
farm area is available for the pillow
Forest growth or woodland occupy
So per cent of the total area in
farms.
Today these farm woodlots sup
plement farm income in many ways
Yet, if they were properly managed
and utilized, their value could be
increased many fold
Over $4,000 acres of woodland
pasture on our farms provide forage
for livestock. While the carrying ca
pacity is low and quantity of forage
has been reduced through overgraz-
ing in many cases, II per cent OF
our farm woodland makes a def
mite contribution to the forage re-
quired for livestock. Forage or for
est ranges adjacent to the farms
makes an even greater contribution
to the welfare of our. farm people
as livestock and livestock products
provide the greatest source of farm
income. Forest ranges provided

NEVER MIND WHAT THEY SAY

Il would rather be attacked than
unnoticed," said DR.. Samuel john
son. What other people may think
or say about you is not important
They may live too near you to be
able to form a proper judgment or
10 correctly estimate youl ability
It is we'll to disregard uncompli-
mentary remarks.
Because young Abe Lincoln
seemed overly fond of reading, some
of his neighbors had a poor opin-
ION of him. They said, HE will
never amount to shucks" Disraeli
and Gladstone were destined to be
lifelong rivals, each the leader of
great political party. At a social
function in London. Disraeli met
young Gladstone, and heard ret
marks about the great career that
lay ahead of Gladstone. But Dis
raeli did not share that opinion, and
in a letter to his sister ne wrote.
THAT young man has TO future
before him Which shows how he
misjudged the man. who was to
rise higher than he himself.
1t is also worth recalling that
Cicero believed that Caesar would
never make a soldier, And Calico
was often belittled On one oc-
casion he noticed the oscillations of
the large chandelier in the cathe-.
dral at Pisa. This suggested to him
the pendulum of clock. His neigh
bors smiled at the invention, and
as usual, they thought that he
wasn't all there But the textbook
of every clock in the world sings
out the name of Calico.
So, despite unfavorable opinions
by folks who think they possess SUI
perior wisdom, be yourself Assert
yourself and do what seems the best
and right thing to do. Don't let
others determine your course. There
is no place for timidity in such a
case. If you can't stand a sheer,
you may never enjoy cheer.
