Foresters of the United Slates forest service estimate that another cutting now "ripe" will yield approxi mately it 3 much timber as was cut 17 years' ago. 'The foresteiB point out that Just 'what the present crop would sell lor deiiends on the (lnuuld, but they cite this as an example of how good ; hardwood trees - oi- u woodland of any kind may add to the farm income, if selective cutting Is practiced. - ' The woodland, -owned1 by John HI n lord, originally was used lor fuel and for timber on the farm. It never has been burned, grazed or clear cut. In '1005 all merchantable timber was sold, hut there are no records of the amount or value of the sale.- In 1921 Hlnford first was offered $1,200 for .his timber crop. He checked with other buyers until he obtained an offer of $3,000 and finally tho $r.845. The final selling price averaged about &14 a tree. The forest service says they are many old hardwood tracts with trees worth that much or more. The lilnford tract of oak, elm, ash and a few walnut trees is in an area that has furnished some of the world's finest hardwood timber and. based on the 1921 sale the 18 acres havo averaged a return of around $20 an acre per your. "Farmers will usually gain, by selective cutting of tho trees' so that only the 'ripe' trees arc tak en," says tho forest service. "This means taking out trees which have no further value in the woodland or that havo made a godd growth and by removal will give space Tor other trees to grow. Grazing cat tle, hogs or other livestock and burning ruins many fine wood lands."

AS ONE OWNER PUTS IT: "it steers so easily no need for brakes and the seat seems to fit my back, It's the most com fortable machine I've ridden." ANOTHER OWNER SAYS: "There's foot room for big feet and plenty of space for long legs and the controls are so convenient." .AND ANOTHER: "No more bumping and jostling when I work the cross-rows the D-2 rides right over them."

L&tCHt developments in the rip ening of cheriritir eheene In cans makes It practical for retailers to offer rlndlt'HH, moldfree, imturally ripened cheese In altrtiCtivo con sumer size puckugeu ready wrap ped for sale to housewives. Deal ers avoid shrinkage, mold Injury, crumbling, and other wastes, and consumers enjoy these gains and the satisfaction of neat and pleas ing packages of cheese with all the natural flavor. Processing of cheese products usually destroys much of the uaturul flavor. Packaging In Individual wrap pers offers to the cheese maker a better chance to build a reputation bused on quality, say specialists of the bureau of dairy industry, and so puts a premium on quality in cheese making. It also opens the way ror more effective competition with' other packaged foods. The secret of successful canning of cheese lies in the fitting of te Tht comfort of a hot, cleansing shower any time you want it! onqer is dishwi;hina rip. laved till the ; water is heated! Hoi, clccnsinjj suds at any lime for washing ou soiled things! No can with a one-way valve which Dr. L. A. Rogers, of the Unlttll States department of agriculture, deviBed several years ago. This vulve lets out the carbon dioxide gas which cheese develops as it ripens, but does not let in ' air which cuuses mold. Cheddar cheese ripens naturally In these cans and there Is no waste in shrinkage, rind formation, or drying. Canned cheese was originally put on the market only In individual containers. A housewife bad to buy a whole canful, whether it was a J2-oui.ce container of the 2-pound or 6-pound size. Now the dairy scientists have devised a way of packing the fresh curd in individ ual prints of any convenient size. The prints are packed in large valve-equipped cans for ripening. For retailing, the specialists sug gest that u 5-pound can holding 10 hulf-pound. prints makes a desir able distribution unit and costs much less than 10 half-pound caui Dealers would keep the large ca: of naturally ripened cheese in the refrigerator and sell the prints tb individual customers.
