Farm Program Helps To Stabilize Prices (Editor's note: This is the fifth in a series of articles in which two farmers discuss the agricultural conservation program.) John Brown: "Under the pro gram, they don't want you to go over your soil-depleting goal, but they do want you to plant all the acreage of soil-depleting crops that are allowed in your goal."" Bill Smith: "Why?" Brown: "If we don't plant enough cotton, tobacco, corn, wheat and the like, there won't be enough to supply the demand. That will make prices go up too high. "That will be hard on the "con sumer, and it will mean that this country will have to spend money to buy agricultural commodities from other countries. "In other words, the United States will be sending money abroad to buy crops- that we farm ers here should be growing and selling." , Smith : "You're right. I hadn't thought about that. We don't want to go hungry here, ind we want to keep our money at home." Brown : "And if we' grow too much, we will be wasting a lot of hard work, and wasting our land too. But we don't want to wear out our soil growing a lot of stuff nobody will buy at a decent price." Smith: "I've had enough Qf that. Look what I've done to my nA t'e ninmh ..mm n. in nlamc And I haven't made a decent hv- ing in years. . Brown: "But if we stick by the program, prpdyction will be kept in line with demand, prices will be at a fair level, and we will have a chance to -take care of our land like we ought to." ;Smith: "That's what we've been needing for years. We'd be a lot better off today- if this program had been started a long time ago." WesfsMiU (UnawidaUy Omitted Last Week) Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Hol brooks, of Washington, D.

An accurate estimate of the number . of cords of pulpwood stumpage which can b.e cut from an . area may save considerably more than the cost of the esti mate, says R. W. Graeber, exten sion forester at State college. VVhile it is generally advisable to sell pulpwood on the basis of the number of cords actually cut, Graeber says that in some cases it may be necessary to make ad I vance estimates of production. t rrt r , . ii , . Anf aie couege loresier quotes ' the forest service of the U. S. j department of agriculture as saying that an estimate or cruise should be made by a competent estimator on any tract of more than 80 acres if. there is a good stand of timber about 10 cords or more per acre. , On a small tract, the estimating can be done at the same time the trees, are marked.. With a small brush and a can of white paint, each tree to be cut can be daubed with a splotch of paint. The mark will last for, a year or more. . Graeber suggests that timber owners needing assistance in esti mating their timber stands can ob tain help from their county agents, who work in cooperation with the extension foresters at State college.
