to the stolid figure beside him in a
clacking tongue. They bent their
legs and squatted on the ground
Lew touched Clay, drawing him
down, and squatted, facing them.
No one spoke. Time meant nothing
to an Indian. Their talk must run
in many circles before they came
to the point.

That's right" Lew said. "For

Spotted Horse stared at him a
moment, turned and pointed his chin
toward the Wichitas. "Six hundred
Cheyenne are over there. They are

erations and military transport, and
the tires on this heavy equipment
are the same as those used on guns
and military trucks.
"Packaging of food requirements
for the army and navy are way I'D,
and are likely to continue very high.
We shall have to move vast quanti-
ties of foods off shore for lend-lease
and other governments. Of course,
we must preserve flow of essential
civilian supplies-but the word es-
sential will come to have
new meaning to most of us.
Restricting the less essential
crops that require large amount
of containers, implies getting the
maximum use possible from the con-
tainers we have. However, the size
of containers must be increased and
lighter materials must be used.
"While the demand for pulpwood
has mounted enormously. production
is not sufficient. The amount avail
able for essential uses is far below
minimum requirements. Huge guam
titles of paper are now being used
for waterproofng purposes by the
army
The greatest deficiency. Mr.. Palen
said, would be in hampers and bas-
kets to supply growers in the Middle
West, Northeast and Middle Atlantic
sections, although scarcity will be
felt from Florida north, including
the Mississippi valley and New Eng
land. There will be no more con-
tainers than last year, but a con-
siderably larger crop will be har-
vested.
In one area farmers cooperated
with box manufacturers to insure
their supply of containers by bring
ing the lumber into the mills them
selves, and then helping out in the
mills by processing the lumber. 1t
is hoped that in the fall many other
sections will adopt this plan.
In the meantime, it will be well
for each farmer and shipper to OBJ
tain used containers if he can do so.
The next best plan is to contract for
supplies, not overlooking the used
container dealers. If one cannot be
located, write Mr.. Palen in Wash
ipgton.

Horse had likewise made a signal.
The one who rode forward, he saw
instantly, was not the same sort as
this old Comanche chief.
He was young buck, thoroughly
savage, with the thin sharp face and
long bony nose, bumped in the mid

kicked free of the rawhide loops,

stood there with his reached head

given because llle
demand for containers, both new
and USED, is certain to exceed the
supply this year. If you do not know
the address of used container deal
er, hunt one up in the nearest ter
minal market, or if you cannot do
so yourself, get your commission
house to send you the address of one.
The reason for this caution is the
fact that for several years consump-
ton of forest products has exceeded
production, and stockpiles in most
instances are at an irreducible mini
mum. Yet military and industrial
requirements this year will be at
an al-time peak. Lumber has be-
come one of the scarcest commodi-
ties in general trade, and it is going
to be Scarcer.

indicates errors that have been
