There's really only one answer to this questionand that is THROUGH INCREASED OPERATING EFFICIENCY. Reduced down to simple rerms we had to revamp our entire method of production by employing automatic and mechanical devices that handle Palco Redwood lumber in standard units from the log to the loading platform. Only in this way have we been able to constantly improve our output without effecting.a comparable increase in our costs and resultant charges for premium quality Palco Brand Redwood.

l'ortland, Oregon, I)ccenrller 29-Lumllcr stocks xt f)ouglas fir sawmills dropped sharply during November, and lI. V. Simpson, executive vice president of the West C<last l,umbermen's Association, said the inrprovcd freight car supply, enabling mills to meet comnritments, rvas thc biggest factor in this reduction of lumlter at thc mills.

Unfillcd orders also dropped off some 50 million feet during November and Simpson reported ability to ship was the principal reason.

Orders during November continued to exceed prodttction on the heels of a buying splurge occasioned by an open winter in the eastern centers, Simpson said. Shipments from the l)ouglas fir mills of western Washington ancl Oregon topJred orders by some 10 million feet a week during November.

For thc 48 weeks of 1949 through November, prodttction in the l)ouglas fir region reached 8,772,134W board feet, or 114.5/,' of the 1943-1948 averages. Orders for the sarne periorl totaled 9,165,583,000 board feet and shipments hit 9,026,8(>9,000 board feet. Production of l)ouglas fir lumber for 1949 may exceed 1948's record cut, Simpson pointed out.

The weekly average of West Coast lumber production in November was 193,626,m0 b.f. or 121.4% of the 19431948 average. Orders averaged 204,170,m0 b.f.; shipments 214,475,000 b.f. Weekly averages for C)ctober were ; pro<ltrction 196J76,N0 (123.3% of the 1943-1948 average). Orders 213,777,000 b.f.; shipments 208,177,000 b.f.

lf They'd Vote The W.y They Talk

From the Boltimore Sun

'I'he National Grange an<l the F'arm Bureau F'cdcration have met in c<lnvention. The Grange speakcrs were vastly emphatic on the theme that all the farmer wanted was a fair price. The Farm llureau people say the same.

'l'he pinnacle of farnr self-righteousness rvas prollably rcachetl in the speech in rvhich a Grange lcacler <lenottnce<l Sccretary llrannan's farm plan as a lllot to buy up the farnrer's v<lte. No, no, a thousand times no this gentleman insistcd ; the horny-handed Artrerican agrarian rvas not for sale on the politic:rl auction block and the unsullicd virttte for which 'I'honras Jellers<x kroked to countrl'mcn rvottld rise in arvful nrajesty to squelch any sttch rrefaritlus pr<lposition.

All of which soun<ls su'ell, but a city slicker tnay perhaps lle cxcuscd for asking rvhere thc Grange ntan and his pals in the Farrn lJttreau wcre rvhcn their boys in Congrcss wrote the present grab-grab farm act int<l the statute books? Isn't that act a plot to buy farmers' votes? Isn't it one of the aceptecl explanations for Mr. Trttman's victory in 194tt that he bought the farm vote in crucial agrarian states by promising grain storagc facilities financed out of the public purse ?

Isr.r't the wheat farmer fixing to sell his vote r,vhen he

insists on :r continuing high-price srrpport plan tl-rat pushes whcat into llotential <lust-borvl areas, overrvhelms the gran:rries and the taxpaycrs who pay wheat subsidies? Arcn't the clairy farrncrs srvapping their votes for a butter pricc schcrne rvhich lllocks out the imported butter on rvhich some of our IICA clicnts rcly as the only way to rise llrovc their clollar depcndcnce on us?

On the u'holc, nrost city ttxpayers will bc glad the (irange slreakcr brought up this matter of sclling votes. Is thc Grange rcally against thc sale of votes? Is the Farm llrrrcau? Arc thc other farm groulls? Then why don't thcy excrt thcir political force in Congress to get farm lcgislation less opcn to thc votc-sclling intcrpretation?

lior ycars thcse farnr outfits h:rvc provecl t<l city people that they can get u'hat they want frorrr Congrcss. If they rkrn't u'ant thc grotcsc;ue and prodigal farrn plans that norv yicld too much rvheat, too nrttch cotton, tocl much corn, t()o mrrch butter, too miiny eggs, too nrany potatoes, rvhy in the world don't thcy vote that way in thc Ifouse ancl Senate roll calls on farm legislation?

No American can vicrv the general prospect rvithout fcelirrg that prcssurc-group politics in America is coming 1o some kinrl of a clirnax. The farrn groups had better lrrace for that climax by getting the voting records of their Congressmen into u'h:rck rvith the rcsounding pacans to farm virtue u'hich the professional farrn spokcsrnen get off :rt convention tituc.

Head Rig in the Band. Mill at St. Helen's Sawmill

"BugB" Baer, famout columnist, humorist, and sound philoropher, gets my vote for asking the beet queltion of the past year. Whcn Paul Hofrman, administrator of the European Recovery Program announced in a epeech that the cost of the Marshall Plan in Europe would be fifteen thousand million dollars, Mr. Baer wrote, "After that program WILL THERE BE AN AMERICAN RECOVERY PROGRAM?''

rl.**

I want to hand that same Mr. Hoffman the grand prize for the greatest understatement of the past year. Discussing the European situation in a speech during the recent holidays, Mr. Hoffman described the Soviet government ag "bad sports." Imagine describing that bunch of gorilla men who would suck the life blood of every free human on earth as simply "bad sports" !

*rf:l

f sometimes wish that another William Cowper Brann might arise in this country to do verbal justice to the opportunities of today. Brann, publisher of "The Iconoclast" at \ily'aco, Texas, could do the best job of name calling in decent language of any writer in American history. Boy, what he would have said about Stalin and Vishinsky !! They would truly have been grist for his mill.

Just to give you " ."-j" ; ;. way Brann could throw verbal atom bombs, he said once about a man who had won his disapproval, "If he had been sired by Satan, mothered by Sycorax, and born in the lower left-hand corner of Hell, he would shame his shameless father, disgrace his graceless mother, and dishonor his honorless birthplace." All other name callers pale into insignificance when compared to Brann. Ffowever, he finally was shot to death for some of the things he wrote, so maybe being a specialist in skilled criticism doesn't pay. But I WOULD love to see such a writer turn loose on the Stalin aggregation.

To show the way r", L"Lolan program works, some publicity has been given to one small example. We handed Belgium-Luxembourg $7,000,000, which is just small change in our financial doings. But it's the principle of the deal that is interesting. They in return bought $2,000,000 worth of machine tools, $2,000,000 worth of electrical stuff, and $3,000,000 worth of oil, all in this country. So they spent the seven million we gave them for seven million dollars worth of our goods, and the seven million

came back to this counry. And the boya with the sharp pencile lay that what Europe has bought from us in late years is just about the amount of money we have given them. But how do you keep the booke on a deal like that? ***

I knew somc folks once who joined financial forces to buy out some undesirable neighbors.. They made the deal and divided the loss of some ten thousand dollarg.. One of my friends said he was dclightcd to be associated with so fine a group in so worthy an enterprise, but he feared they would havc to build up a whale of a volume of that sort before they would show much of a profit. The same goes for our Europe"" "";raT.t;

Senator George, of Georgia, a Southern Democrat who has long been critical and fearful of monumental government spending, is using a psychological trick these days. fnstead of referring to our national debt as "more than 250 billions of dollars" as is usually done, he refers to it as "more than a quarter of a TRILLION dollars." Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Truman have gotten this nation to a point where just to mention billions has become commonplace. We have forgotten how much such a sum really is. So now we speak of TRILLIONS. Other notables, including Senator Taft and Bernard M. Baruch, have taken up the "trillion" idea. So have some of the strongest American newspapers, giving the thought lots of publicity.

The idea is clever; but is ta i,*", You don't suppose, do you, that the word "trillion" will give that Washington gang a new idea that might explode in our faces? Those folks are ambitious, and, whoknows, the idea of running the debt up to a full trillion might intrigue them. We used to tell about the colored brother who was told he had no ambition, and who indignantly replied that he .WAS ambitious; so much so that he wouldn't rest until his wife vras doing every washing in the entire neighborhood. Ambition sometimes works in strange directions.

Business men talk mostly of the new year, and what it will mean to business, both generally and particularly. Speaking generally, it seems certain to me that business is going to continue on a high level for some time to come; how long I would not attempt to guess. But I am utterly convinced that there is no thought behind the things that are being done and those that will be done in Washington, except elections, and votes; and so I think that even though it takes every dollar of cash and credit this country has, the high economic level is going to be kept up. It has GOT to be kept up if those in power hope to continue so. The

administration ir going to do anything and evcrything it can think of to keep our present tidc of planned mild inflation going rtrong. Which mcan! that bugincu generally rhould continue good. I think it will. The payrng of the piper is a matter for thc future. Right now thc trick is to guess what to do about our present bueincsr; meaning cach of us individually.

Bueiness was never -"* t",.*rted in a eession of Congress than it is in the prerent one. The prime subject of taxes will be the biggest one before thc lawmakers. What the administration will try to do about taxation is not yet clear. Busincss will fight for tax reductions in various dircctions, and algo will fight against any tax increases. Congress will be told that since l94l taxes have increased 800 per cent; a greater increasc than has come to any other commodity or thing. Congress will be told that today when a man buys a medium priced car, practically one-third of the price hc pays for the car, is taxeg. That includee hidden as well as open taxes. Congress will be given a thousand other facts to prove that taxes must come down. It may be that only by driving taxes down can the administration ever be forced to start cutting exPenses.

Commerce Secretary ,";.r, after making a national survey of business conditions and opinions; is reported in the press to have told Mr. Truman that there is a terrific demand for the elimination of double taxation on corporate profits. He told him the truth. Probably nothing the New Deal did was more thoroughly unfair than forcing a corporation to pay a corporation tax, and then forcing the stockholders to pay a personal income tax on that same dividend.

There are those *no ,ir"i oJ. .no.rta cut out some of the special war taxes, excise taxes, but regain the income by increasing corporation taxes. When you hear a man suggesting taking taxes off of the people by increasing corporation or business taxes, you know without asking that he is a very ignorant person, who should be tapped for the simples. Corporations do not PAY taxes. They COLLECT taxes. Whatever is added to the cost of operating a business becomes a part of the price that business charges when it sells its products, and the consumer eventually pays it. Same way with all business. Increase my taxes and f increase my price to cover. Else I could not stay in business. ft's as simple as that. Whatever burdens of taxation, or increased labor costs whether it be wages or pensions, are added to business, is added to the cost sheet. Otherwise business would cease to be. The man who wants to make business and corporations carry extra loads, sees no farther than the end of his snoot. Quit thinking that corporations are grroups of fat, rich men, sitting in plush clubs. Most of the people you knorv are corporation stockholders, and it is the job of the management to protect their interests.

Right now pensior," roJ *lro]r. is a prominent subject of debate. Right and left, pensions are being demanded by labor organizations. But giving men a pension is the same as giving them incieased wages, so far as the employ-

er is concerned. It is immediately added to thc cort of doing business, and to the price of the commodity manufactured. Surely that should surprire no one witrlr even a faint understanding of what businctt means. Peneiona mean increaeed cost of steel, and therefore increared prices. And increasing the price of steel increases the cort of living of every citizen in this nation. Yes sir, to every man jack of us. The increase would not be sufficient to be measured with a ruler, but it would be there, just the same. ***

Looks like therc is going to be a general demand for pensions in industry. They have already come to the lumber industry. The result would be the Bame aB in steel. Pensions would mean increaeed costs of lumber, increaeed prices for lumber, increased prices for every wooden home built. There is no such thing as something for nothing. What one man gets, he eithcr pays for himself, or his fellows pay it. Only the air is free. This ie not an argument against pensions. It is simply a statement as to who pays them. Mr. John Public pays the bill, except where pensions are handled as businesslike insurance and paid for in that same fashion. Same way with the government. It can give one citizen nothing except what it has taken away from other citizens' ,n * ,r.

Business will join wholeheartedly in opposition to any further advances of this nation toward the "welfar€ state." Opposing the philosophy of something for nothing is a tough trick. Trying to appeal to the unselfishness and patriotism of men, to enlist them in the army of liberty rather than that of security, is a terrific task. Yet it has to be done if this nation is to be saved. Businessmen everywhere are out in the open fighting the doctrine of a super government in Washington, that "takes all our cares away," as the old song put it. Strange, isn't it? Ever since the summer of 1933 we have had Government on one side, and business almost solidly on the other. Roosevelt, of course, knew little of business. He realized it, and it made him mad, and antagonistic toward business. And Truman probably knows less about business than did Roosevelt' :F * *

Edwin G. Nourse, until recently chief economic adviser to President Truman, recently said, "The principles of good family management, of good company management, and good government management are basically similar. They call for thrift, the acumulation of savings, and the paying off of debts in periods of high prosperity so as to be fortified against trouble when things are bad." We seem to be traveling in the opposite direction.

Captain Eddie ni.t.rrul"r.lr,l"-o.r. First World War ace, sent out a Christmas letter, in tvhich he said, "A philosophy alien and foreign to our American way of life, liberties, and freedom, is penetrating the hearts and souls of our men and women in this land, namely, something for nothing, or more for less. . Let each one of us therefore on Christmas Day and during the holiday season dedicate ourselves and work more for the spiritual welfare of our country, and think less and less about the material things of life."

"You should be doing this !" For years that has been a familiar phrase as retail lumbermen have urged lumber manufacturers to do more to help the retailer sell lumber. Norv sonrething is being done. Retailers all over the country are watching with interest the well-rouncled-out, progressive lumber promotion campaign developed by the West Coast l-umbermen's Association.

Atterrtion is especially focused on the excellent dealer aids created by the West Coast lumber group which offer promotion material for rtse in nrany fornrs. All of this is new, most of it is free.

Spearheading the West Coast progranr of aid to <lealers is a national advertising campaign in twenty national magazines and periodicals. The principal copy is directed to the consumer, stresses the nrany advantages of lunrber and urges the customer to see his retail lumbernran.

Ilacking up this strikingly eftective a<lvertising catnpaign in the second attack wave is a rvhole series of free colored booklets, directed at the constlmer, telling him how to use Inmller, horv to build, horv to save money in his home building. Latest of these eleven booklets of which rrrore than 1,000,000 have been circulated in the last 14 months, is the beautiful 4-color, 8-page "Re Sure When You Build" illustrated with full-color photographs of actual homes. When interested customers write for any of these booklets as a result of the national advertising, the queries are made available to the retailer through his association secretary.

Direct dealer aids to retailers are many and varied. A free newspaper mat service of 100 one- and two-column advertising mats, together rvith suggested layouts, is offered to dealers everywhere. Copy is for both city and rural yards.

Radio spot announcements and a platter of l0 transcribed spots on lumber is available at cost. So are blotters with space for dealer imprints and smash-copy outdoor billboard paper in both 24-sheet and 3-sheet size. One of the most popular promotion efforts is the "Farm Book," a 96-page book on farm buildings. Dealers have bought more than 25,000 copies of the "Farm Book" and resold at a profit to their farm customers. They may obtain a three-dimensional counter display for the book as rvell as wall hangars and window streamers.

A new 16mm color, sound motion picture, "Lumber for Homes," will be ready in mid-December. It will make a good selling tool for the alert retailer for shorving to prospective customers. It will appeal as well to service groups. granges, lvomen's clubs, schools and other events lvhere the retailer is called upon for a program.

California Has Forestry Cooperation

By \ilendell Robie, Auburn Lumber Compony, Auburn, Calif. Vice Choirmon Colifornia State Boord of Forestry

A Report to the \Uestern Forestry ond Conservotion Associotion ot the cnnuol meeting held in Portlond, Oregon

There are two breeds of Forestry in California: one is the licdcral variety and the other is that of the State of California. Outdoor people and outcloor industries with close interests to frlrcstry carr tell y<lu they lre lllumb different in many ways. This discussion deals only rvith State Forestry, a program rvhich the State of California runs under the brand of COOPERATION.

forcstry arc selected to reprcsent the public interest and thosc of pine and redood lumber, timbcr, rvater, livestock an<l agriculture. Each is statervide in representation of his intcrest and is r,vithout geographical partisanship.

'I'his rvas a good start for a dorvn to bedrock statc forestry progranr run by thc pcople for the good of all people. 'Ihc old tinrers devekrping this breed of forestry did not know burearrcracy and bureaucratic blood was left out entirely. It is still left out and legislative improvements and ad<litions since have further blazed the trail for public consideration in all of the California forestry program.

Western people know that often a breed, different from existing stock or plants, may develop by evolution for adjustment to certain conditions. Perhaps, for the same reason, California Forestry today is some different from other forestry. It has been called forestry by the people and it is forestry by the people. It was made that way and it works that rvay because, up and down and crosswise the great area of California, outdoor people themselves are given the opportunity to u'ork and provide answers for their own problems of forestry for beneficial and productive use. It is u'ork forestry. It is forestry in overalls. It is not forestry at a flat top desk in front of a French model telephone. It is forestry in the field and not in slick paper magazines.

Wendcll T. Robie

This California breed of forestry is a success, not only because of popularity rvith clear-eyed and practical people everyrvhere, but because of its beneficial accomplishments. Let us see horv it gets that way:

California rvas the first state to provide for state forestry. Since then all governors of California have given support; but two governors, both from Alameda County on San Francisco Bay, have done most to establish the character and scope which California forestry has today. Governor Earl Warren and Governor Pardee are noteworthy for their forestry interest and support. A long time ago in forestry, Governor Pardee put the program on a high level trail for state service. He recognized before most foresters the multiple use values in good forestry and established the essential character of our forestry administration in California. It was then provided that the policy of California state forestry would be directed by the people, through a Board of Forestry appointed by the Governor, with members to represent all multiple use lactors for California forest and watershed lands.

The seven members who make the policy for California

A goorl example is the California Forest Practice Act of 1945 which was voted by the Legislature with the statewide cooperation of lnmber operators and timber owners to work out the answers to better forest management. This shows people's forestry at work so let us take a brief look at this quotation of state policy taken from the law. "The public interest is affected by the management of forests, timberlands, watershed and soil resources of the State, and it is declared to be the policy of the State of California to encourage and promote and require such development, use and management of forests and forest lands as rvill maintain the continuous production of forest products, to the end that adequate supplies of forest products are assured for the needs of the people for their farms, homes and industries. It is declared to be the policy of the State of California to encourage and assist ownership in the management and economic development of privately orvned forest land."

Under this Act, the State forest lands were divided into 4 districts, each with a Forest Practice Committee of 5 members appointed by the Governor to develop and maintain a code of forest practice rvith the force of law after approval by vote of two thirds of the forest land ownership of the district and by approval of the Board of Forestry. Thousands of people were able to express themselves toward the development of our good Code of Forest Practice in California. This cooperation endorsed compliance, and the successful results of this development in California for sound at-home regulation of forest practices can be recommended to every forest land state in this country.

In consequence, do you believe our people want Federal regulation as would be forced on the nation by the proposed Anderson bill S 1820? Here is an answer from California. "The California State Board of Forestry hereby declares to be the policy of the Board of Forestry to favor only State regulation of forest practices on private timberlands in California as are deemed advisable and necessary to assure

continuous production of California's forest resources. It opposes Federal influence or control of such forest practices." Similar opinions have lleen expressed opposing the bureaucratic schemes and plans pr<lllosed for the California redwood region by Dervey Anderson and Congressivoman l)ouglas.

1'he biggest job of California statc forestry is firc supprcssion. 2tl million acres :lre directly protected an<l l2 nrillion nlore acres are protected by California State liorestry men rvith the cooperation of the people of 3l counties of the state. Thc state fire control plan enrpkrying 2500 rrren at the height of the fire season and 1000 pieccs of mechanized equipment has been rlevekllled in coopcratiorr rvith the state association <lf Courrty Sultervis<lrs, the statc organization of Fire Chiefs and Fire I\Iarshalls, local Farnr Ilureaus and forestry organizations, and the California Forcst l)rotective Association. .50 organizations coollerate in thc California Fire I'revention Itrogram sponsorerl lly thc I)ivision of Forestry. Again, this shoq's active particillation in the people's lrranrl of forestrv olleraterl in California by the State.

Ilere is just one other examplc of the Califorrria method of cooperation to solve a tough forestry prolllem. California has a tremenclous job in attenrptinfl to return l2 million acres of dry brush to l>eneficial and productive range land use. The brush fields have encroachecl on range and timberlands at the lou'er altitudes since the pionecr days of the Gold Itush, 100 years ago. Thel' n1s n<>rv needed for the food and livelihood of a greatly expanding population. I3y state larvs the solution to this tough proltlem is a forestry job.

The California Board of Forestry has tied on to it rvith the help of hundrecls of stockmen rvho have keenly httempted to learn a method which tvill work on their orvn ranges. After thorough discussion in local ancl state meetings, a representative Range Improvement Advisory Committee u'as formed for cooperation and advice to the Forestry Board. Stateu'ide organizations appointed their orvn merr to the Committee rvhich represents the California Cattlemen, Wor>l Grou'ers, Farm Bureau, the College of Agriculture of the University of California, and the California Forest I)rotective Association. Skilled and determined stockmen all over California are rvorking on the prograrn for clearance of brush and reseeding to establish range grass lands for beneficial and productive use. Again, this

Blendwood Blockr

Factory finished blocks containing pecan, elm, beech, sycamore and hackberry in standard 25/37'thickness are now available fronr I,l. I-. Bruce Co. This nerv product is called Blendwood Blocks. The grade is comparable to Sl Conrmon & IJetter.

Intended for laying in mastic, the blocks are manufactured with two metal splines inserted in the back, with opposing tongues and grooves on the edges.

The appearance of the installed floor is very attractive with an interesting contrast of light and dark colored lvood. These blocks are availal)le prelinished only.

is a picture of Cooperation at rvork to solve, in the California manner, a state forestry problem.

Carefully administered programs are carried on by the California Division of Forestry concerning Forest Insect Control and for tl.re forest management, including recreation, on seven, mostly small, State Forests.

It is apparent the people of California like their part in state administration of their own forestry affairs. This question is frequently heard: "Why freight local rnoney to Washington to do a local job rvhen only a part of it gets back after federal expenses are deducted ?"

Out of thc Woodr

By James Stcvcns WesternForertry...

Men of vision in the forest industries started the Western Forestry and C<lnservation Association for the I I Western states and itritish Coiumbia .i0 years ago. liimiiar groul)s of forest indtrstry owners and nranagers <lf the public forests u'ere fornred in other parts <tf the Western Forestry llattern-the Southern Forestry Congress, frlr examllle. In all sections there were large industrial orvners of forests rvho began to hold and protect their cutover lands after 190? inste:rd of going the old way of "cttt otlt an<l gct out." They rvere learrring from the foresters u'hat W. It. Greeley calls "faith in the land." And so the private timller ()\r'ners began to gron' trees for futr,tre harvests.

'l'here \\':rs m()ney it it, and foresters lrrotrght the fact honre to thern. For this llest of Atrrerican reilsons, m()re arl(l more lumllermen fell into the nrarch of forestry pr<lgress in the 1920's. lly that time a lot of loggers had gone through college b1' rvay of forestry school. I')ach year the schools rverc turning out "logging engirreers," rugged lads u'ho n'ere civil engineers and foresters both. The old-style bull of the u,oods frtund hinrself competing with the technically-trainecl forester for the top positions in the forest industries.

The 1949 Report

The tirrber transition from. a bull-team and strong-arttr logging industry t() one highly mechanized u'ent right along rvith the changes in forest land management. The passing of the timber beast became all lrut complete. The timller rnechanic, skilled, sober, commanding big wages' requiring good living conditions in camp, often wanting a home for his family there, stood forth as the typical woorlsman.

Also in the 1920's forest products research became a porverful branch of industrial forestry. Its great comnlercial success has been in plyrvood, pulp and paper, plastics and timber engineering. In terms of land use, the nerv forest products have increased the values of small timber and of such species as \Mest Coast hemlock, ouce a leftover of lumbering.

In a hundred important ways professional forestry, industrial management, timberland labor, farnters, government men and the public have made a steady march of progress together in the woods.

The reports to be made at the 1949 Annual Conference of the Western Forestry and Conserva;ion Association in Porttand, December 8-9-10, will ring with promise for the future of the West.

FarmForertry...

Young trees were weeds to loggers, from the loggirrg ..:.:::-i*+a-la-. .,\ ..lrir.! ryrer.:er or rlhictla-nrrnk Ctrtover itllrcl ltltCll(rClll !r, .r^l(i iia !4at!a wi ii iiiriiv i-grr:i. lands were thought to be good only for stump pastures or to lle cleared for farming. Farmers bttrned trees to grow grass. The old pioneer belief has been hard to kill. It renrains a major llrolllem of fire control in the I-ake States, the South and the West, despite the general progress of industrial forestry.

"l)on't talk tree farming to nle," many a marginal farmer rvill reply to the forester. "I won't be around 60 years fronr now when the seedlings have grown to sawtimber size. I llurn eaclt spring to bring on grass for pastttre."

T<xr often the burning of the fern patches sets fire going on the lands of others. After a few seasons the grass crop fails. On the other hand, where farmers have kept their l)()orer acres in trees the value of the land has risen with the annual grou'th <lf u'o<l<l on each tree.

There are now nrany specialists in farm forestry. In Washington indrrstry foresters have joined with farm foresters in a "More Trees for Washington" program of education t<l convince the farmers wh<l need convincing that trees only should be grown -on tree land and that tree crops can lle nrade to pay in various rvays. Farm forestry is likervise booming in Oregon.

Iiorestry is nou' in force all over the West.

Wishing

I would I were beneath a tree, A-sleepin' in the ahade With all thc bills I got to PaYPAID.

I would I were on yonder hill, A-baskin' in thc sun With all the work I got to doDONE.

Wish I were beside the sea Or sailing in a boat

With all the stuff I got to writeWROTE.

Yes It Does

"That makes a difference," said little Johnnie as he clipped a piece off the ear of one of his twin brothers.

Books

Gilbert Poretanus, Archbishop of Poitiers in the twelfth century, was once left alone for some time in a monastary, and, devoting himself to the freedom of the great library' he wrote these words about books:

"I sit here with no company but books, dipping into dainty honeycombs of literature. All minds in the world's history find their focus in a library. There is the pinnacle of the temple from which we may see all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them. I keep Egypt and the Holy Land in the closet next the window. On the side of them is Athens and the Empire of Rome. Never was such an army as I have mustered here. No general ever had such soldiers as I have. No kingdom ever had half such illustrious subjects as mine, or half as well governed. I can put my haughtiest subjects up or down as it pleases me, I call 'Plato!' and he answers 'Here!'-a noble and sturdy. soldier; 'Aristotle !' 'Here !' 'Caesar !' 'Tacitus,' 'Pliny'-'fls1s t' they answer, and smile at me in their immortality of youth.

"Modest all, they never speak unless spoken to. Bountiful all, they never refuse to answer. And they are at peace together. My architects are building night and day without the sound of hammer, my painters designing, my poets singing, my philosophers discussing, mY .historians and theologians weaving their tapestries, my generals marching without noise or blood. I hold Egypt in fee simple. I build, not a city but empires, at a word. All the world is around me, all that ever stirred hearts or fired the imagination, is harmlessly here. My library shelves are the avenues of time. Ages have wrought, generations grown, and all their blossoms aie cast down here. It is the Garden of immortal fruits, without dog or dragon."

Censorship

Watch every Etep, ye artists, Take care leet you ehould trip, And fall into the waiting arma, Of modern censorship.

Hide thou each thought of lovc, of sex, Of art ye must beware, Keep down, ye must not scale the hcights The censor watches there.

Let wisdom rot within thy brain, Yank out its tooth at once, Become the god of censorshiP; A meek and lowly dunce.

-Erle D. Parker.

Nothing But Quclity

During the recent war when jerry-built houses were all too common, the builder of such a house took a prospective buyer out to look at it. As they drove along the builder handed out tall talk about the splendid quality of the materials, the solid character of the walls, the permanency of the structure as a whole.

To demonstrate the sterling character of the construction the builder put the prospect in one room, then went into the adjoining room and closed the door between. Then he put his head close to the partition separating the two rooms, and in a voice just above a whisper, he said:

"Can you hear me?"

"Just barely," said the other.

"And can you see me?"

"No, I can't."

The builder opened the door with a confident smile, and said:

"Now that's what I mean by good, sound construction."

Dictioncry Revisions

EPIGRAM-Aty remark made by a millionaire.

SPECIALIST-Man in white coat who can say "Fifty dollars, please," without blushing.

HOME-The little used building that stands on the same lot with the garage.

PAYROLL BANDIT-The Missus.

Epitaph To A Bee

Here sleeps, well recognized for sterling merit, A citizen of worth and public spirit; Successful in his chosen field was he, Day after day his golden wealth amassing, And gave mankind his splendid service free, And left the world the poorer for his passing.
