IG UNREAULf.D PROFITS IN MANY FARM WOODLANDS Agriculture America's Greatest Wood Using Industry-Two-Fifths of Country's Forest Area on Farms -Owners Should Supply Home Needs and Market the Surplus The American farmer Is our biggest wood-man--potentially. In the last word-potentially-lies the "rub" of a serious lumber situa tion. Manufacturing industries need lumber; builders are calling loudly for lumber; farmers themselves are hind ered in carrying on their work because of the scarcity of lumber. And yet the farmer might be the most inde pendent of all these interest with re spect to lumber, and could add great ly to the present supply if he would properly develop his woodland re sources. Many farmers, of course, have done this already and are pro fiting by their efforts, but they are in the minority. If all the farm wood lands could be combined they would Yorm one vast forest of 181,000,000 acres. This is approximately two fifths of the entire forest area of the country. East of the Mississippi the farm woodlands cover 46 per cent of all the forests. The farmers have scarcely begun to systematically de veolp and use these timbered lauds, although they consume 46 per cent of all the wood consumed in this coun try. Agriculture is the greatest of our wood-using industries. Establishing yours successful men A Bank Account i increases your ] you to succeed. Firstf Nati* W. C. DAVIS, President. J. T.

Taken as a whole it is an immense item that agricultural interests are 3verlooking say officials of the Forest Service, U. S. D. A., .who have made a study of the country's forest resour aes. The annual, growth of timber possible 'on farm woodlots has been estimated at 8,500,00,000 board feet f material suitable for lumber staves, boxes, etc., and 114,000,000 cords of ruel' wood. In other words if proper ly cared for the farm woodlands could produce more than the entire quantity )f fuel now consumed by the farmers and 81 per cent of the lumber boxes, barrels, etc., now used by them. Too often the size of the farm wood lot, the material it contains, and its value to the farm are. left entirely to chance. The farmer's problem is to determine what parts of his land are uited to wood rather than other crops and to develop these portions for wood crops just as he would develop land for other crops. The farmer in many of the Lake States and the South is inclined to let his woodland be merely the unimproved land in his holdings. Its soil may or may not be inferior for field crops. In the Central States many woodlands occupy undrained land which comprises some of the best soil in the region. In the Eastern particularly in New England, farm woodlands are heing extended through reversion of hill pastures and the like to forests. In this latter region, and to a more limited extent in the other regions, there is an opportunity to grow commercial crops of timber in elf in the world of nspires confidence., ?restige and helps no!

In nmany communities a cooperat ve 1 oarketing organization of the farmers' s suggested by the U. S. Department f Agriculture a's a practical means of 1 elling woodliand prodlucts. In other nstances individual sales prove more I atisfactory. The farmer who is in-C erested in finding a market for this 'rop should ascertain what prices I he mills and wood working industries n his region will offer. This applies< o sales reqluiring shipment as well as o local sales. It is adlvisable also to I n(quire from neighbors who have re ently disposed of their timber, so as o profit by their experiences. Local imber demandls should not be over ooked, as often local markets will ay better prices than outside mar lets because of the saving in trans )ortation charges. --------- MARKETING CALVES Clemson College, September 27. rhe most economical wvay to market attic undler present marketing con litions is to market the calves, sug rests L. II. Lewis, Extension Agent n Marketing. At prlesenlt, calves ire selling betwveen the following irics,---tops bring 15 S ents; me liums bring 8 to 12 cents ;andl the -o)mmoni bring from 5 to 7 cents. south Carolina produces some of all he classes, b~ut, the principal ones .vill range between 5 to 12 cents. Joodl medium calves will bring 11 rents at present, arnd the market ails for calves wveighing between 50 pounds and 250 pounds. i. (*. alves of that size market best whleni hey are milk-fed and anre fat. Conceding that calves are medium ni (lass ini this state, anl dIthat they vould bring onlq 11 cents, 25(0 >ound calves dlliveredl to the matrke(t *vouldl bring $27.50 gross, or $22.50 .o $25.00 net. This is better than ~arrying them over one year, at vhichi time they will weigh around our hundred and fifty pounds and viii not bring over 6 1-2 cents per >oundl, or a gr'oss return of about. $30.00 with a net of betwoen $25.00 mnd $27.00; for they have been fed luring the winter and there has the risk of losingr some of them.
