grandeur of the Hockies, it is a

made two years previously with the
I’arr' Lumber Company by which it
could cut trees of a,diameter over
1(1 inches, for which it was to pay
him $12 an acre. Seventeen thoiir
sand acres of virgin timber were
offend at $17 an acre.
The commission .inspected the
property in the early part of June.
1913, but on returning to Washing
ton decided not to buy. The gener-
fclination was their belief that Mr.
reserve without purchase. The
death of Mr. Vanderbilt in March
showed the hazard of this plan; In
dividuals offered several dollars an
acre more for the entire tract than
the price named to the commission.
Mrs. . Vanderbilt wrote to the
commission the first o- may thaf her
husband wished the forest to be
owned by the naftbn and that price
might not be an obstacle to effecting
his with.'she would sell the entire
acreage at the price of $5 an acre.
This represented a saving ot $200,-
000 to the government and the com
mission accepted the proposition.
There is excepted from the sgle, ns

Some False Ideas of Economy.
N. s v
I am no atudent of economy, nor
do I propose to be an expotem* of
it. but after observing the methods
and Conditions on some of the
farms In ray locality, I feel that I
can give a small hint in an econom
ic direction.
First.I want to take up the pre
vailing methods of purchasing sup
plies. I do this because, a man
must first learn to economise at
home v before he can do so in his
business. I will begin by asking a
few questions which sre vitally im
portsnt to an economic househould.
Is It best for, a man to buy what he
needs, periodically, say once a
month, from a wholesale deqjer and
save the- worry and dietractlon of
frequent and Irregular tripe to
town, and St tne same time save
the retail man's profit, or Is It best
to buy what you need just any time
you happen to think of It, by,piece
meal in a hand-to-mouth way, and
pay from 10 to 20 per cent more
than you should? Of course all will
agree that the former method is the
best. I know, however, of several
families in this locality,- who buy
supplies as thougn they were next
door to a grocery store.
Now tell me, what does a farmer,
living six miles from any bas«» of
supplies, look like, buying Just
enough for two or three days br |
These people are trying to reme
dy a bad evil by substituting a worse
one for it. They are tearing up the
organization of their working force
by trips to toWn and at the same
time losing money by buying in
small quantities. All this could be ‘
avoided by a well planned purchase,
once a month at a wholesale p >e.
and a little trouble in caring •‘‘or
the groceries after they are bought.
Another poor idea of economy
that I find is that It is more profita
ble to use an old implement just as
long as It sticks together, than to
buy n new one. This-one Idea 1 be
lieve haa more to do with the poor
tillage and small profits on some
of our farms than anything else. In
this part of the South nearly all
of onr labor Is negro labor. HI not
try to give a description of the ne
gro’s disposition toward work, for
I believe every farmer knows that.
I will ray this much, however, that
if you give a negro a good sharp
Ylow that he will give you good re
sults. providing be’ Is a steady ^
worker; but as soon as he has to
exert himself a bit to hold that plov-
in the - ground, there’s where the
good work stops.-*—E. M. Stickm . -
