while they wouldn't do more than
100 at their best by hand. One man
feeds posts into the machine while
the second man takes them away
and piles them where they await
treating and shipping. The third
man operates the machine. The
whirling knives of the peeler throw

Woodworking Plants
Woodworking factories have been
established. One company, also at
Thompson Falls, makes stocks for
toy guns and for training rifles. A
big modern kiln does in two days
what the sun would require 80 to SO
days to do in drying the ponderosa
pine used. The factory is equipped
with a planning mill, pattern tables
and a row of band saws. The plant
has only been running about a year
and has sold 100000 stocks.
Wooden beach shoes are made from
small pieces of wood, and novelties
are made from the beautiful cedar
found nearby.
Another factory is concerned with
making house logs. The logs are
tongued and grooved to fit, lathed as
needed and bored the long way
through the center to give them
greater insulating value and lighter
weight. These are Kindred and
ready for use when they leave the
factory.
H. P. Milleson has been elected
president of the Sanders Forest
Products Cooperative Association,
Inc, at Trout creek. 1t is processing

more ago.
There are more orders for posts
than they can produce and they have
a contract to furnish 10000 poles.
Tamarack posts are sold in Montana
and %lodgepole sent to the midwest.
About $4,000 worth of posts and
poles have been sold for the mem

Opens More Farm Land
All this hustle and hustle in q
additionally quiet valley along the
river in Sanders county, and still
there has been no mention of the
thousands of feet of saw timber that
is also being shipped from Thomp-
son Falls.
An after effect of the present TIM
Der harvest will be more farming
as brush and stumps are being
cleared so crops can be planted.
From the Thompson river to the
Idaho line, H. L. Lowman, work unit
conservationist of the local soil con-
%servation service, reported that TO-
600 acres are cleared and 10000 acres
more of good agricultural soil can
be cleared. The land is seeded first
to winter wheat and that is followed
the next year by an alfalfa and
bronze mixture, with 100 pounds of
gypsum per acre put into the soil.
