PAGE TWO THE FRANKLIN PRESS BYRNE SUGGESTS 17AY OF SAVING ; : Indicates Value of Woodlot and Points Out Way of Making It Perpetual. There is only one answer to County i Agent Lyles Harris ringing indict ment of waste in the farming indus try and that is to do something about it. It makes no difference that - Macon county farmers are not the only offenders or that farming 'is not the only industry where serious waste occurs. The farmer, working on'a smaller margin of profit than the business man, and the Macon county farmer looking to many" different sources for his income, can lose everything through the leaks of waste. I r-" . . l .... - IJ. I J1 1 J consider oniy one ieaK iai ianu too poor or. too steep to -cultivate, as a. nnssihle source of bv Droducts of the- farm. . It is said that many great industries make the most ot their profits from by products, the main product paying for the cost of pro duction. Certain it is that it costs but little more to run a factory to capacity than to let part of lie idle. After the costs of production arc paid for the balance is profit. What is the additional cost of put ting this idle land to work and what can it produce? The cost is fire protection, regulation of grazing and selective cutting. The products are saw timber, ties, posts and fuel. wood. No cash is needed for this crop only some time. find attention and no one can deny the value of the pro- it Everv Vfarnn' ronntv farm has its wood lot and every ' Macon county farmer has a use, tor wood prociuas and many farmers have time on tneir hands during off seasons when cross ties and posts and small saw . timber operations are the only sources of revenue. Better have these come from his own wood lot if he is to realize full value for their sale. The wood lots of Macon county vary from excellent mature second growth timber stands to badly culled and run down ones. The latter must be rejuvenated by excluding stock for several years, especially hogs, and by , preventing fires. In this favored tim .. ber. region nature can do wonders inj torest re-estaDiisnment witn a nttie help from man. . For the better .. stands already ma ture the following advice to middle western farmers given in a recent department of agriculture bulletin will apply in Macon county. 'In general do not ' exceed" 50 or 60 per cent of the volume when ' cutting. Cut the mafure trees of the species most desirable and cut the undesirable species to ' the marketable limit. Do not cut in advance certain desirable ' species for specialty wood.' Weed trees' occupy the openings thus created. To maintain yellow poplar cut heavier than 60 per cent of the volume. . the wood lot is thus lett in a producing state and kept that way through the elimination ot fire and the farmer , at. the same time' realizes on the intangible assets such as windbreaks, shade for stock and the natural ' beauty of protected wood lands. And one big waste is thus elimi nated. JUtiN a. iJYKJSIii. The following is a list of the pre served foods, cooking, etc., and their winnings: Mrs. F. Y. McCracken had the prettiest selection of jellies on ex hibit.

I would like to iust rail att the fact that for a. fair to be run properly and everything kept in order, it is necessary for everv entrant tn make his entries before hand, and to pe sure he is on the list of exhibit ors with his exhibit described in the proper way, otherwise the fair man agement has no way of keeping tab on things; .This is not said by way of criticism, but merely as a tip for future endeavor. Everybody in Macon county may take notice now that we will have a Bread and Butter Show next fall. There will be cash prizes for individ ual entries and a $50.00 cash 1 prize to the man, woman or child who wins the largest number of ribons in the separate ciases. that is to sav a man who wins tirst. second and third on one class, of products would he count ed as one,' but if he wins first, second ana tnird on dnterent ciases of en tries it would be counted as threes No one can sav that thev haven't Deer told in time that there will hp a iiread and Butter Show for faron county in the Year of our Lord Nine teen Hundred and Twenty-Eight, for mere certain v win he. and the man who begins to nrpnnrp now ur11 trl money. The entry list will be marie up 01 any and everything grown on about, or near a farm. MACON COUNTY-THE LAND ok PF.nPTF wwn Pimm tm TIME TO PREPARE FOR THEIR BREAD AND BUTTER SHOW .
