ed 709o Of DelaWare's farm income
came from the poultry industry,

The work Is on the livestock farm

1t Is one of the biggest operations
of its kind in this area in recent years,
but the marvel of the Machine Age
Is the outstanding feature of the work
1t Is only matter of minutes after a
tree hits the ground until it is ready
for the lumber yard or MILL
Mr.. Frye says that % years ago,
when he started In the timber bust
ness, similar operation would have
taken six years. A generation or so
earlier, when all work was done by
hand and horses, the same job would
have required IL years with the same
size crew.
The big difference in recent years Is
in lifting and transportation ma
chinery. There Is little difference In
sawmill equipment now and 20 years
ago, except that mills then were
steam powered. OF course, woodsmen
now have gasoline driven chain saws.
The other day, four men, using
chain saws, dropped huge red oak
minutes. The tree, approximately 200
years old, was almost rs feet tall,
weighed about 20 tons and contained
about $500 board feet of lumber
In little more than an hour, huge
section of the log, 10 feet long and
weighing almost tons, had been
sliced into 734 board feet of choice
stair treadS
In another operation, three men,
using a tractor with an ingenious
fork lift, put a Atom load of IS
smaller logs on truck In 18 minutes.
A log cart that carries its load beneath
the chassis picked up and rolled away
with a 20foot, 2-ton oak log In
exactly 4 minutes.
Hour after hour. day after day the
work goes on-trees falling with loud,
splintering crashes, the loud put-put
OF the chain saw, the whine Of the
swiftly whirling 56inch sawmill
blade, the snorting tractor with the
fork lift easily holsting logs onto
trucks that defy the muck and mire
of the woods, or the long log cart
numbering through the forest, huge
tree swinging between its wheels.
In watching the work. you don't
consider the lament of "woodman,
spare that tree" After all, the Mary
land Forestry Department. whose
chief concern is conservation, ap-
proved the project
You are more impressed with the
ease and speed of 1t all and the fact
that the machines, shattering the
quiet Of a frontierlike woods, add
particular emphasis to the swift
strides of the Machine Age In the last
100 years.
