HARDWOODS YIELD
, Seventeen 'years ano a "lU-ytmr
giowtli of hantwoods on 18 acres
of wondlund in Montgomery coun
ty, Ind., uold for $5,845. 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." CO-OP MARKETING

Tho cooperative innrkotlng of

livestock and wool will come ill for
thorough discussion along with oth
er products Important In tho north

THEY BUY
FOR FUEL ECONOMY
Most people know that the "Caterpillar" Diesel D-2 operates on
only 1 gallons of cheap diesel fuel per hour. They buy It for
Its fuel savings. They are doubly pleased when they put it to
work to find that It has so many features other than fuel sav
ings to make it an outstanding product.
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."

CHEDDAR CHEESE
Canned Product Should Be
Individually Wrapped '
for Good Results. .
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

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

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.

With standard automatic-electric waterheater.i.nstalla-,.
