i.iis i;iiv oi the principal markets
; h r- !o.v grade timber produced
on a farm.
"The. farm .itself is our biggest
market for our low grade timber,"
.says K. W. Graeber. extension for
ester for the State College of Agri
culture. "A careful calculation will
show that the farmers of this state
use 4,81 0,348 cords of fuel wood.
This is an average of 17 cords per
farm. If all this wood were placed
in a continuous stack four feet high,
it would extend for a distance of
7,302 miles. This means that it
would make a single stack four feet
high along every mile of State
Highway in North Carolina with a
double stack for Route No. 10 from
Beaufort to Asheville, a double stack
alon# Route No. 20 from Wilming
ton to Asheville and a double stack
along Route No. 50 from Rocking
. ham to Henderson. This volume of
wood is equivalent to a little over
one -half a cord per acre per year
from all the farm woodland in the
state."
There is no reason therefore why
landowners should permit timber to
go to waste on their farms with such
a home market as is offered for fuel
wood. The low grade timber should
go to supply this need, leaving the
sound, straight trees for lumber.
Mr. Graeber states that in addi
tion to the home market for low
Kinde timber, the larger cities and
towns are paying high prices for
fuel wood. Wood prepared for the
stove is selling from $10 to $12 per
cord in many towns. Farmers
around Winston-Salem are getting
from $15 to $18 per cord for the
wood which they sell in small
quantities. Many farmers of the
state can easily pay their taxes from
waste timber if they will only put
it to proper use.
HAPPY WHOSE HOME IS HERE
WINTER JOYS IN THE SOUTH
Atlanta, Ga., February 9, ? Ad
vantage enjoyed by those who make
their homes in the South, to which
thousands from other sections jour
ney annually to escape the rigors of
winter in less hospitable climes, are
pointed out in an advertisement of
the Southern Railway System, ap
pearing in February magazines un
der the heading "Happy," I said,
"Whose Home is Here."
This advertisement, the fifth of a
series being carried by the Southern

combined circulation of 10,000,000,
is illustrated by an attractive south
ern farm view and reads as follows:
"When winter comes, with sleet
and slush ? When bleak March winds
make spring remote ? fortunate those ,
who live in the South, where others '
ojne for shunshine and health.
"lior;- the farmer i.s not subject
il to vhe rigors of Northern winters,

?'industry also profits from the
blowings '?f the climate. In the
