FINE FLOATING WAYS 8ERVE
SWEDES VA8T FOREST WEALTH
Stockholm?Swedish forests have
an important place In the national
ei unynyy. For generations this natural
wfflfith has amounted for about 50
per cent of the total exports.
| Tor sen Heruod, director of the Swedish
Pulp Company, in a recent broadcast
on the forest industries, held
that no other country was so well endowed
by nature with excellent provisions
for utilizing the wealth of its
vast forests. The many rivers,
streams and brooks, he said, constitute
a timber logging and floating system
which is not found in any other
! part of the world.
As a general rule the rivers flow
from northwest to southeast. The
mean dip is moderate, and they usually
cut down deeply into the ground
The late melting of the snow in the
border mountain regions, moreover,
supplements the spring flow w'hen this |
begins to wane In summer and many
of the big rivers have flrth-llke lower
reaches with fringes of islands outside
the mouth.
The total amount expended Bince
the middle of the last century In Improving
these natural floating ways,
Mr. Hernod said. Is enormous for a
small country like Sweden. The
length of the Swedish timber-floating
ways at present, is about 33,000 kilometers
or 20,000 miles?twice that of
the Swedish railways. The cost of
this system is estimated to have been
about 200.000,000 kroner ($40,000,000)
The quantity of timber floated an
nually varies to some extent, but usually
amounts to about 150,000,000
logs with a wood content of 15,000,000
cubic meters. This work has been
done by the industries themselves and
not from subsidies by the state.
In 1936, Mr. Hernod said 70,000 persons
were employed in Swedish saw-j
mills and planing mills, pulp mills and
paper mills. The labor required for
the forest work, apart from salaried
employees, corresponds to about 40,-!
000.000 working days per annum. I
Regarding the future of the forests
and of the industries based on them'
the Forest Expert committee of 1931,!
made an estimate of the -quantity of
timber the industry would have at its
disposal during the next ten to twentyj
years and after deduction of the
amount needed for household use, an
allowance for damages and a percent-'
age for unsaleable timber, they arj
rived at an amount of 24.000,000 cubic
meters per annum. I
During the period 1929 1937, the ag-'
gregato consumption by the sawmills'
and pulp mills averaged about 23,000.-'
' mi cubic meters per annum according
to the 1936 Forest committee, which
corresponds very nearly to the conI
sumption which the Experts committee
considered available .to the industry.
j
The least profitable sawmill enter-'
prises are gradually being weeded out.
Mr. Hernod said that although Sweden
has contributed pulp for the
world's rayon industry on a very large
scale?In 1937, it amounted to 16?>.000
tons of "silk" pulp, of 15 per cent of
the world consumption?the rayon
silk industry within the country is not
of any importance. I

COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
(l)y Spectator)
The famrer la the steadying force
In our nation. Men who live in communities,
or grouped together, whether
in villages, towns, cities or campa.
seldom have the opportunity to think,
through the questions of life; life to
them la too much contact, too much
rubbing of elbows, too much play of
une man's mind upon another's, too
much casual glaring at papers and
magazines. 'Hie farmer has hours
alone; much of his work is done
alone; many hours he communes with
nature.
Having people under your feet all
the time, or Jostling with the crowd,
may be superficially stimulating, but
it isn't deepening.
1 know of nothing more refreshing
than to walk along the roads looking
at the woods and the crops. To add
a thrill to that, go through a field in
quest of a watermelon "patch" and,
upon finding a melon, break it open
on the ground, taking the delicious
"meat" with your bare hands.
No melon patch should be near a
dwelling. If you would think, have
your melons In the center of a cotton
field and stand In the wide open spaces
while eating a melon.
So sheep are good for fleas? Which
is to say that sheep are bad for fleas.
Great language, as we use it, eh? Reminds
me of what the Frenchman
said while struggling with the different
pronunciation for the same combination
of vowels and consonants.
Here goes: D-o-u-g-h?how do you say
that? Well then, how about c-o-u-gh?
What shall we call p-l-o-u-g-h? What
about t-o-u-g-h? "The Engleesh, she
are longweege verra deeflcoolt, no?"
Well, right you are, Frenchy, tres
blen. I
| Rut about the sheep?a hlgh-presurej
i salesman has sold us some sheep so
as to attract the fleas to the pasture,
i there to smother In the fleece.
I Some people writho and wriggle
and contort so much when a flea
I comes about that it seems wise to
i emulate Mary with her little lamb,
j The lamb could bring relief to Mary
| whether at home or on the street.
Well, its an idea.
| Kudsu is the farmer's friend. Nearly
nine years ago we found Kudsu in
the pasture at El Itecuerdo. It had
climbed into the trees and spread like
a curtain. Mules, cows and hogs eat
it at my place.
Kudsu is resistant to drouth and of,
course flourishes in wet seasons. We
regard it so highly that wo have tried
to cultivate it, but dry autumns defeated
the effort, though we set out|
a thousand crowns. Our original vine i
continues to spread, however, and will
cover all the place in time. Starting
in the pasture near a branch (Kudsu
likes "branchee") our Kudsu has extended
along and In ditches until It
has come far from the point of origin.
It now has started down the long "avenue"
toward the Raccoon road.
While I appreciate Kudzu and
recommend it to those who want a
permanent pasture (and that is what
we need in the South) and if you want
something to play with don't try Kudzu.
Once it becomes rooted it sticks
closer than a fellow trying to get a
soft, job from a politician.
The wife of my farm partner at El
Recuerdo once decided to clear the
Kudzu from a ditch bank. She may
have planned to have flowers, perhaps
rich-hued popples. She had the boys,
chop with axes and hoes, and finally
had two big mules pull -the roots from
the ground. It was a great effort. But
the Kudzu is still there and flourishing
like unto the green Bay tree. So.
I if you mean business, Kudzu is your
friend; but, like South Carolina's pol|
Icy, there can be no divorce.
J "What portion have we In David?"'
Ja lot of old-time Southerners are ask'
ing themselves the same question to-l
'day. You recall that when the Jew-!
' ish people begged King Rehoboam to
I lighten the load of taxes the King.
prompted by hie bright young associates,
wait ho self-centered and arrogant
that the people who remembered
David with love and respect concluded
that the grandson of David
had forgotten the teachings and example
of David. And so they forsook
the kingdom of David. They didn't
feel at home anymore.
I am astonished to. hear all around
that the sons and grandsons of Confederate
soldiers, the sons of the men
who followed Hen Tillman, the supporters
of Woodrow Wilson, they are
asking themselves: "Is this the I)em|
ocratlc party of our fathers?" This
group of Communists, Republicans,
negroes and political adventurers
calling Itself the New Deal, Is this
the party we were brought up to love
and support? Is this the Democratic
party?
The Democracy of our fathers was
built on two main foundations?low
tariff and White Supremacy. This
New Deal has thrown both on the
scrap heap. Are we, then, Democrats
in principle, or are we Just Democrats
in name? Has the leadership of
Democracy so far forsaken the princi-j
pies of our fathers as to suggest the
question "what portion have we In
.David?"
Why should farmers be taxed to
support Clemson college? Every ton
of fertilizer is taxed twenty-flve cents
a/nd every ton of cotton seed meal Is
taxed for the benefit of Clemson college.
Why? In the guise of raising
money to pay inspectors and chemists.
In 1937, the farmers paid $194,000 and
of this sum $22,836 was used for inspection
and analysis. That left $171,164
for ordfnary support of Clemson.
The legislature gave it $115,000 more
for ordinary college support and $295,257
for the extension service.
Can you tell me why the farmers
should be taxed twenty-flve cent* a
ton on their fertilizer in order to support
Clemson college. Of the total
sum collected about $22,836 was used
for inspection and analysis and a cool
$171,000 poured into the treasury of
the college. Why? Do we tax the
teachers of the state in order to support
Winthrop? Do we tax the lawyers
to support the law school? Do we
tax the physicians to support the Medical
college.
Now since we are so deep in this
research, is Clemson primarily a
school of agriculture? Do we put a
tax on all electrical Engineers to support
the department of electrical
engineering? Surely you wouldn't use
farmers' fertilizer money for that. Do
we tax the textile engineers to sup.
port the work In textile**? n0.
we've heard aforetime, everything's
"agin" the farmer.
As a matter of fact do you know
that a majority of tho trustees of
ClemBon college are not chosen by
the state? .
What I really have In mind Is this:
What do we know about the real "innerds"
of what the people pay for?
I roamed aloSg the Santeo. \v. a.
White took me In tow and we crossed
the great yellow river near St. Stephens
and "took in" Moncks Corner, now
resembling a town In the gold rush.
New buildings going up, old buildings
being made serviceable, crowds In the
streets, construction camps nearby?
and all the rustle and bustle of big
achievement.
We pushed through to the scene of
excavations and dikes. A great moving
of dirt greets the eye and powerful
trucks are moving ou a twentyone
hour schedule, in three shifts. It
la a vast panorama of dirt moving.
Leaving there we went along on
highway No. 6, passing Northampton,
the plantation of Genera! William
Moultrie, and the site of Barnet's Tarem,
from which General Greene sent
to Congress his report of the battle
at Eutaw Springs (1781). Here also
was the muster ground (forty-five
miles from Charleston) of the Eutaw
State Volunteers, a military command
to support South Carolina in the Nullification
threat (1833).
All the old estates along this road
will be under water.
We passed Walworth, Mt, Pleasant
and other stately old places and wandered
about the Indian caves near
Parler. Of course my warmly esteemed
friend, Alex Salley will say that
the caves are not caves. However,
they repay a visit, In their haunting
suggestion of calm akin to that of
abandoned graveyard about midnight flj
