GET THE "CROP ATTITUDE OF MIND"
TOWARD TIMBER ,
Our fathers thought of the forest
as an enemy. Trees were some
thing to get rid of. They had no
sale value and stood in the way ol
cultivation So our fathers,'"breath-;
ing out threatenings and slaught :
er," like Paul on his way to
Damascus, went out agaiust the
magnificent virgin forests they
found in our New World. Trees
were cut by the million, and since
the timber couldn't be used
nl> fast enough for houses, fences,
and fuel, every winter witnessed
uncounted thousands of "1 o {?
rollings." Magnificent trees that
would now be worth millions of
dollars were converted into unoke
and ashes..
Now conditions have changed,
absolutely changed. Trees ;ire now
0110 of the most valuable products
of tlio earth, and growing more
valuable every year. Instead of
thinking of woodland as being in
lhe way of crop cultivation, we
iiiusi realize that the woodland
itself is one of the most \aluable
crops.
Crops, crops?that is what we
must realize that our trees are.
Let's {jet the "crop attitude of
mind1' toward trees. Next, time we
walk through our woods, let's say,
''llere is another crop of mine?a
very valuable urop if I handle it
right." And then let's ask our
selves four questions as follows: ?
1. Let's ask ourselves whether
there is a good stand of the
timber crop. It would hurt
us mightily if we looked over a
cotton or corn lield and saw only
half a stand.
2. Next, let's ask ourselves
whether we have the right varieties
of trees. It would hurt us mightily
to see a sorry, nubbiny variety of
corn in our cornfields. Does it
hurt us if we have only the poorer
sort of timber trees on land just
by weed ing out less desirable kinds
and giving the better tices a
chance to seed, to grow and
develop.
3. Lot's ask ourselves whether
we aredoiug all we can to keep
tiiv away from our timber crops
Wo should got very angry if
somebody si t fire to a dozen shook,
iu our cornfields after harvest. Do
we also get augiy when somebody
burns up young tree growth worth
i hundred corn shucks? Let's
make men ami boys who ?tart
forest fires pay damages every
time we can catch the guilty ones.
4. Let's begin looking over the
timber crop with something of the
same pride and interest with which
we look after other crops- It al
ways gives us pride to sec especial
ly tine ; nd fruitful specimens of
corn and cotton in our fields. Docs
it give us pride when we see
especially fine and beautiful speci
mens, in our timber crop? Let ?is
begin looking for such specimens,
protecting them, and weeding out
others that crowd them.
Let's net the "crop attitude of
mind" toward our trees. Then
shall we double the profits we now
net from the South'?* most neglect
ed agricultural asset.?The Pro
gressive Farmer.

A SOUND NATIONAL STRUCTURE
! "?~
Tli? your 192*5 has rolled around
and we are ready to enter 19-7
with less to mar our industrial,
political and economic life than at,
any time in our history.
Business us a whole, including |
every line of activity, is doing a
lot more close thinking, one might'
say philosophical thinking, on the
relationship it bears toward the1
public, the workers and the in
vestors. The result is that we
have the best industrial, laboi
and financial structure that we
have ever enjoyed.
Sach a condition could not be
brought about by one-sided pros
perity? it is the result of the
greater majority of our people un
derstanding fundamental questions
affecting our local, state and na
tional life, and sharing in the
benefits icsulling from a souud so
lution of such problems.
It is probable that no nation
ever came so nearly representing
the spirit of leve on earth aud
good wil! toward man, as the
United Statea does today. Such
a polici' has taken us much farther
along the road of happiness than
would fighting, discord and con
troversy. In addition to beiny
morally and spiritually right, this
policy has been right from a busi
ness standpoint.
Therelore, as we enter thfl new
year, we should check up on oui
recent progress and endeavor to
strengthen our constructive pro
gram which has brought to us
such remarkable results, as a na
tion and as individuals.?The
Mauufacl urer.
