At Home On The Farm With The. City Cousin "Looks like this ten-year backlog in the building industry would sound the death knell for every tree growin' in North Carolina," I says to "J. P." Bowles, assistant county agent over in Davie County. "It might, Cousin," was his reply, but it won't." . 1 1 asked the Extension Service man what he meant and he said: "Well, take for instance this lumberman over in Winston-Sale'm. He must of got to thinkin about the same thing, and guess. what he did?" "Don't have the smokiest idea," I tells him. Then Bowles, explained that the lumber dealer picked up what you might call a "run down" farm and with great determination, plans to make of the 136 acres a timber re serve. "You mean he's going to start from seedlings? That's a pretty slow way of getting a return on your invest ment." "He knows there will be no imme diate cash return," the assistant agent, said, "but he didn't pay a high price for the farm and the improve ments he plans to make will more than pay the interest on the invest ment. And remember " "Yes?" "This lumber dealer is thinking of the next generation. While he won't reap any direct reward himself, his industry and his people will benefit. See what I mean, Cousin?" "Yeah," I says. "I see what you mean." SOIL CONSERVATION NOTES James Brothers on Harvey Point Road recently had a ditch surveyed and staked- out so he could cut it to grade.
