Dr.Frank Crane Says
????
Out in the country the other day
I stood on the hilltop and saw the
railway track, like a silver ribbon,
running away into the distance. The
sun was shining brightly. I could
perceive a train many miles r.wny.
At night I stood upon the same hill]
and could see the tra?k only, f jr, a
little distance; beyond .that it was
swallowed up in the shadows. But
I know that the ti'ack runs on.
There, are high moments in life
when we can -ee the far reach of
Hgtoteousnes. And there is many
a dark hour whrn doubt and" um'aith
?ettle down all around us.
Indeed our moments of vision rre
comparatively fev,'. Day after day
all we can do is to keep the revela
tions of those moments in our mem
ory and j j lad oh through the fop and
obscurity, trusting m->re to faith than
to sight.

FARM i)j>REST IS '
. COOK SAVINGS BANK
? ? ? ' ? i ? I
Raleigh, X. C, July 20.? The farm.
I forests of North Car lina are the
farmers* best saving's banks anl irt
many instances the presence or -on -
diticn of the timber cn a farm is
the '.deciding factor in the making or
refusing of a loan by banks.
"We believe that the farm fori -t
is one of the best savings barks
that our farmers have in North
Carolina," says R. W. Graeber, ex
tension forester for State C-llege.
"Our demonstrati ins show that the
timber land can be made on of the
most profitable parts of. the farm
ing business and we know of -some
banks which always give special con
sideration to the timber on the farm j
in making loans secured by flr*t aort
gages on farm real eitfttjfr."
Mr. Grabber states that the Fed
eral Land Band of Springfield, Md>4s.
considers that, a stand of mefch^n
t'sble timber j* a linurd asset and 2
stand of youn? timber increase in j
value each year. These two fu-ots
make, for . safety m granting r. lonjr-:
time noncallable loan. It. i-. this
bank's experience that farms with I
good v,*.io^lotc sell readily br:t af- |
ter the merchantable growth is re
moved, t^ei'r value~1 s apparently de;
predated more than the actual
stumpage value of the timber re
.moved. For exarpple, the bank says
that a well timbered farm which
would sell for $3,000 would r.OtT* c ell
for over $1,000 if stripped of tim
ber that had a stumpage value of
ortly $1,000.
Timber -fills in the waste spaces
and balances out the farm, states
Mr. Graeber. It is a crop that has
-steadily increased in vahae while
pther farm' crops have been sub
ject to runious price? in some tfears.
Timber also responds to care and
improvement. The .farm wood lot
with little or . nb attention has as
sumed aii important place on most
farm,* and with increased attention,
its field of use and value is great
ly enlarged.

Such cr^ps therefore- will pay the
taxes from land that otherwise might
