"KNOW-HOW" is IMPORTANT
IN SELLING TIMBER CROP

There is no substitute for know
ing what to do and when to do it
in this business of selling timber.
This undisputable fact was
brought out at timber thinning
and scaling demonstration recent
ly at the farm of Guy Robinson
of Union community, Lincoln
County.
A group of around 40 persons
heard John L. Gray, head of ex-
tension forestry at State College,
explain that a nearby one-acre
stand of 34-year-old trees was
worth about 1915 in sawtimber
and pulpwood; that if the trees
were cut now and replanted, by
1878 this replanting would be
worth about $125 per acre based
on 1866 pulpwood and sawtimber
prices.
Thus Robinson would receive
around $500 per acre on a clear
cutting and replanting program.
However, if he decided to grow
/ the best trees now on the area
to good sawlog size, in the same
period of time he could realize
around $3.50 from four sales.
Here's how it would work out:
1955-pulpwood thinning, $50;
1960-sawtimber and pulpwood
thinning, SOL; 1968-sawtimber
thinning, $S4; and 1978-sawtim-
Der clear-cut leaving seed trees
or replanting for new crop, $425.
This shows that Robinson could
expect $3.50 more income per acre
from growing out his present
stand as compared to clear-cutting
now and starting over.
Extension forestry specialist
George Smith pointed out that
farmers should pick trees to be
cut on the basis of their porfarm-
ance rather than just cutting the
largest one.

The hurricane is moving be-

80 miles per hour over a small
area around the center and gales
extend outward 200 miles to the
north and east and 100 miles to

sure in the eye is about 29.10

Due to sparse reports and the
immaturity of the storm. past

overglamorous publicity
I'VE do not discourage be-
Iginners, but we try to point out
that unless they are satisfied
with the merest chance they
must learn at least the funda-
lmentals of prospecting. Too
many fail to do so and so far
have demanded attention out OF
all proportion to the mcaser
occurrences usually found.
They flood the government
agencies with worthless samples
and elementary inquiries, in

mental principles explained in
readily available literature.

This campaign was outlined

University of Rochester, at Roch-

Such a technique. they said,
would direct the powerful rays
Iof radioactive material only
against the cancer without harm
ing surrounding tissue. And
radioactive material attached to
the "homing" missile would stay
put, they added.
Would Use AntibOdies
The researchers said they are
working on the theory that
various tissues and organs Of
the human and animal body
have within them specific
chemical antibodies to help
protect those areas against
disease.
They said 1t might be possible
to isolate these antibodies and
use them as carriers Of radioac-
tive substances to particular
areas of the body. Under this
theory, a kidney antibody might
be used to carry radiation am
munition against a kidney can
Ger or a stomach antibody might
transmit to a stomach cancer.
The Americans reported that
so far they have done only ex-
perimental work with animals
in seeking to demonstrate the
validity of their concept.
They extracted material from
rabbit kidneys, mixing it with
radioactive iodine. Injected into
other rabbits, the mixture tended
