It is obvious that the maximum expense to the owner of a quarter section of timberland can not ex ceed $8.00 per year, an amount that should scare no owner into disposing of his timber claim at a sacrifice. One of the best ways for timber land owners to comply with the law is to join County Fire Patrol As sociations that have been organizd in most of the timbered counties of the state. It is expected that every limbered county will have such an organization before the fire season arrives. The experience of these Associations, some of which have been in existence for four years, proves that adequate patrol can be secured at a cost of from ir-2 to 31-2 cents an acre, and if all of the tim berland owners join, the acreage will be materially decreased. Pro tection from fire at a cost ol $3 or $4 per quarter-section should be welcomed by all timerland owners, and it is hoped that no one will be induced to sell their holdings through misrepresentations made by unreliable timber brokers for the selfish purpose of increasing com missions. Imports of Cattle Exceed Our Exports. It will be a surprise to many to kno.vthat we import more cattle than exports. In 1904 was imported but Rev. S- R.
