Every farmer who has a wood

Farmers in the United State;
iwn one-third of all the timber
learing land. That is almost a
nuch as the timber land now ii

han the Government owns in thi
National Forests. The yearl;
fross return from farm wood
ands is very large, a quarter bil
ion dolalrs. Equal to the valu;
if all barley, rye, rice, and flax
eed crops; eight times the valui
if the peanut crop, and nearl;
qual to the tobacco crop. Pe
arm, per year,, the average va

J. But farmers do not alway
landle their woodlands to th
est advantage for several rea
ons. He may be pressed for casl

eached a profitable size. H

ordwood, or fence posts, whei
ie might have gotten $25 for i

There are thousands of smal
lortable sawmills ? crude am
wasteful outfits, mopping-up 01

Building up and managing i
.'oodland is like building up i
lairy herd. No farmer woul

lairy herd by periodically sellini

voodlands?cut off the thrift;

There's fun on the airways again Sunday nights.
f Billy House, famous comedy star of stage and screen, is headliner
I of the new "The Laugh Liner' Sunday show on CBS. With Jack Fulton,
t romantic tenor, as soloist and Carl Hohengarten's orchestra providing
fthe musical fare, this is your best bet for Sunday
entertainment in keeping with the summer weather.
House has been starred in many Broadway hits
including "Murder at the Vanities," "Lucky Girl, '
"All the King's Horses," "White Horse Inn," and
two editions of Earl Carroll's "Vanities." His pictures
include the new "Merry Go Round of 1938," !
four Warner Brothers features and eight Paramount
short subjects. Jack Fulton's singing and
Hohengarten's music have been featured by the
same sponsor on "Poetic Melodies" and "Just En..
