Carolina Farm Comment
By F. H. JETER

knowledge pays in farming. Per
haps in no other business does a
man have to know so muh about
so many things to make a good
living. An interesting example Of
this is seen in the SAGE of Harry
Morgan of Leicester, route 2, Bun
combe county. Mr.. Morgan owns a
tract of farm woodland, 80 acres
in size. n containing about 145,
900 board feet of trees ready for
the saw. He was offered six dol
lars a thousand at the stump for
the entire boundary as it stood. But
he decided to look into the matter
a little more and with the help
of his farm agent, Riley Palmer,
he secured the assistance of the
extension farm forester located in
that section. The forester aided the
owner to cruise his timber and to
select and mark those trees which
were suitable for saving, leaving
the immature trees to develop for
later sale.
The sum of the whole matter is
that Mr.. Morgon marked $4,000
board feet for immediate harvest,
and he contracted to have these
trees cut for $40 a thousand. He
sold the cut logs for $50 a thousand
feet at stumpage prices.
In other words, the farmer
cleared his 33-acre boundary OF the
mature trees for which he received
about fifty percent more than he
would have received for all the
trees had he hold for the boundary
at the first price offered. Then. too,
his woodland would have ben
stripped of practically all OF its
growing stock. He figures it would
have beer 50 to 10 years before
some one could have cut another
crop of timber from that 80 acres.
AS it stands now. he plans per-
sonally to get another $4,000 board
feet within IS years at the latest.
The ~selective cutting that he fol-
lowed in selling the first 10000 feet
the other day left him at least
1000 feet of ni'e sound Young trees
as 2 start of mis- next harvest in IS
years.
Mr.. Morgan wishes that every
farmer in North Carolina with tim
Der on his place would follow this
pan. He believes it to be especially
important to western North Caro-
lima because that section has beer
developed mainly through its tim
Der Timber and forest
products have always been among
the leading commodities from the
farms Of that section, and, if this
State is to keep up a sustained
flow of forest products from the

THINKING DAY"
T0BE OBSERVED
Girl Scouts Here Will Join
World Wide Movement
On Powell Anniversary

IN international Girl Scout cir
eles today, February 22nd, is
known as thinking Day." the day
that Girl Guides and Girl Scouts
around the world make plans for
closer kinship with their sisters,
guides and scouts in other coun-
tries.
According to Mrs. G. D. Greer,
Girl Scout commissioner OF VIII
naington, the idea started at the
first World Conference of Girl
Guides and Girl Scouts held at the
Girl Scout Camp Edith Macy,
Pleasantville, N. Y, in 1925, when
the world was at peace. Delegates
from Girl Scout organizations in
Twenty-Five countries were gather
ed there, including Lord Baden
Powell, founder of both Boy and
Girl Scout movements; Lady Bad
en-PoweIl; and Juliette Low, who
esta blished the Girl Scout move
rnent in the United States.
Powell Birthday
In the course OF the meetings.,
someone suggested, in commence
ration of this feeling, that day
be set aside each year on which
Girl Guides and Girl Scouts thought
Of their sister Guides and Scouts in
other lands, sending as it were a
wave of friendly thought around
ME world. Thinking Day." was
The result, and because February
n was the birthday OF Lord Bad
.n-Powell it seemed fitting that
that should be the day.
thinking Day, Mrs. Greer
ytated, has remained the practice
" Scouts and Guides everywhere
h spite of wars. Today the Girl
