Der was not of uniform stand or
size but a good many saw log
trees were ready to be cut.
On a routine visit to this farm
E. II. Thurman, director of the
Lexington Agricultural Develop
ment Association, in conversation
with Tom Wilks learned that Tom
was thinking about selling his
timber but really didn't know the
best methods to use in marketing
this crop.
Mr.. Thurman was quick to sug-
gest and secure the services of
Mr.. E. P. Mcmillan, County For
ester, who in a short time went
over this tract Of timber, and
marked and estimated the trees
which needed to be cut.
Prior to all this Tom had been
offered $3.50 in lump sum payment
for his timber by several local
timber buyers, that is If they were
allowed to clean cut the timber.
After Mr.. Mcmillan went over
this timber, Tom was paid $500
for the timber that was ready to
be cut. He received further some
$50 or $40 for the pulp wood in
the tops and scrub young timber.
He had left standing some $3.50
to 5000 worth Of young saw tim
ber which will double in yield
in five to ten years, with proper
management. Tom has in these
trees also a good source of seed
which will tend to keep a good
stand of young seedlings on his
ground at all times. By practic-
ing a sound forestry program he
is more able to utilize his land
and make every acre a paying
acre.
LADA urges every farmer to
stop and think seriously about
his timber land. Control forest
fires. Burning our timber and
grass land accounts for practical
ly all Of the sparsely vegetated,
treeless, and eroded acres Of
Holmes county. This alone has
contributed to the low produc-
tivity of much Of our soil which
has resulted in low, sub-stand-
ard income for a majority Of our
farm families. Many of these
families have plenty Of land to
live comfortable on II it was kept
free Of fire and the timber was al
lowed to grow. Every citizen
must join in this fight and stop
these forest fires, this common
enemy of all the people of all oc-
cupations.

Flood Control Forester has agreed

of Mr.. Flowers is only a beginning

others who contemplate similar
steps in the immediate future. It
must be stressed that these people
are purchasing this land chiefly
as an investment looking toward
long range financial returns as
well as soil restoration"
The Durant news., 1950-12-07

Restoring gully-washed land
and denuded hills to productivity
is becoming No. concern of the
people in Holmes county. Not
only is it being considered from
the standpoint of bringing back
waste land, but it is being taken
on also as sound business invest
ment.
Attesting to the above statement
is the action of H. F. Flowers, well
known Lexington business man.
Mr.. Flowers has devoted his life
to his clothing business - and in
cidently it is one of the leading
firms in his county - but recent
ly he purchased 107 acres in the
Castalian Springs community
which at one time was productive
farm land but due to erosion is
now largely gullies. There is a
fair stand Of shortleaf pine and
an abundance Of scrub oak on this
land.
What does Mr.. Flowers plan to
do as starter? The answer is
provided by the owner:
II purchased this land strictly
as an investment after hearing
numerous talks and reading much
on how cultivated and prot6Dad

Forestry in All Club work is
divided mainly into two project
headings. The first being the tree
planting or seeding project, the
second and probably the most
needed is the woodland improve

definite place in Holmes county

In the past our Seeding project
has been greatly handicapped by
the shortage of seedlings. Due to

This money can be increased

What the worm is to the early
bird, good selection is to the early
shopper. Right now is toy time
and you'll be paid huge dividends
of satisfaction and relaxation II
you take advantage Of it. We've
been doing more shopping for
young fry gifts to make your job
easier, and here's our latest col
lection.
Great. large gifts like a table
and chair set or tent for indoor
play are very impressive to Susie
and Junior, and q source of deep
gloom to most parents who are
faced with storage problems.
tAre there some who are not?)
Either you or the toys will have
to move out, you think. But some
realistic toy designers who have
faced the problem have conquered
it. A Seventh street store has a
folding table and two chairs that
will slide away under bed. in a
closet or any other out-of- the
way place for storage. All three
pieces have serviceable steel
frames. braced for extra strength,
The table top and chair seats are
upholstered in red or green simu-
lated leather which is STAIN
resistant and cleans with a damp
cloth. A luncheon party with
spilled soup as a first course and
escaped Jell-O for the last pre-
sents no problems, and when it's
all over, away goes the furniture.
The price is $11.95, which COM
pares favorably with the price Of
the standard. non-folding sets
which consume what seems to be
acres of space. Suitable for age 2
through 6.
If you've ever had to supply
your small ones with dining room
chairs and spare blankets for
|house-building purposes, you'll
really like the "Jiffy Card Table
Play House" available at a Four
teenth street toy specially store.
The "house" is designed to fit
over a standard card table and
is made of cloth in four colors.
A ridge pole with a wooden base
goes under the roof and on top
of the table to form a roof peak.
This is good for any 4 to 8 year
old, male or female, who likes
Indians, pirates, robbers or ordi-
nary housekeeping. Price, $3.45.
