The state where I was born is seldom thought of as a timber country, y t it has nearly as many sawmills as t’ e Douglas fi • region. They are little ones, cf course, cutting for local trade wherever there is a grove of sticks big enough for a buzzsaw. Tlx e are not many that pro duce over 7.000 feet of lumber a day. This is no gauge of the annual cut of lumber in Iowa, as most of the m 11s are operated only part cf the time—by farm ers between harvests, and the like. Ab ut 18 million board feet were cut in 1945, a’most doub'e the prewar cut in the state. It was mostly cottonwood. Def re the war farmers could not hops to get more than $5 per thousand for stand;ng cotton wood timber aM often $2 was what thev old it for on the stump. N'w, according to the De? Moines Register, $8 per thousand is the average stumpage price. Milled cottonwood sells f r from $-10 to $*)0 per thousand. Iowa wculd be a "ood plar° for a tree farm. And it is a good bet that erttenwoodfc will be grown on many an Iowa fa’m where no thn ght has been given to timber since the war with Spain. Rich as Iowa is in soil, the state has tens of thousands of acres which are poor for pas ture and good for little els-e but tvee growing. Cottonwoods grow like corn in Iowa. Its wood can’t be beat, Icwa fanners w’ll tell you, for wagon boxes. It has many other prime uses as lum ber and is a wonder for pulping. No joking, Iowa may as well enter the tree farm movement with cottonwood as a crop. An Amazing Crop. . . That’s what wood is called in the title cf a feature article by Arnold Nicholson in the Country Gentleman. The article tells how Prof. E. G. Ritzman, head of the nutrition laboratory at the University of New Hampshire, proved that sawdust piles and other wood “waste” can now be utilized to produce good protein feed, by putting milk cows on a wood yeast diet—as Dr. Gron- dal and Major Berger have done at the University of Washington. “The yeast was produced by the wood sugar in waste liquor from a sulphite paper mill,” says Mr. Niche Ison. “New England s full of sulp’.ite nulls, pouring out tons of waste liquor every day. If wood yeast is good protein for cattle—if the apparatus to convert mill waste can turn it out at a leasonable price—then down-east farmers might gain in two ways. The r woed co-uld be come more valuable and their herds get cheaper, grown-at-home feed. “There are plenty of ‘ifs’, of course. Dr. Ritzman disposed of one when his painstaking tests on the cows, which were dry, showed that the digestibility of the yeast was equal to soybean or cottonseed meal, and that it can be fed without harm to the animals. . .” With some concentrated feeds up to $80 a ton and with hay $30 a ton, the prospects of for est feed as outlined in “Wood Is an Amazing Crcp” are bright. The science that produced the atomic bomb can certainly solve the problems cf the utilization of what now g^es to waste in the woods and in forest products p’ants. Instead cf burning tree- growing land tc get feeble growth of grass, the farmer will feme eff . uch land to keep the livestock out and give his “yeast crop” a better chance. Revolution cn the Land . , . The items cited in this col umn are but two of many recent examples of a new revolution in the use cf the land in this great and growing country. Farmers a e learning that poor soil is a poor place for efforts to pro duce quick-nv ney crops, just as the richest scil is often a poor place xtc farm for quick returns. Some of the country’s best land is given over t° orchards. Some cf the country’s worst land should be given over to forest tree growing, foresters have long recognized, and now farmers are finding out that there is money in this idea. So here’s to more cottonwood growing in Iowa and more crops of yeast three is New England. Trees—they are wonderful. ALL-PURPOSE APPLIANCE A new appliance development incorporates an electric hotplate with coffee brewer, toaster or fryer. Oregon-American LUMBER CORPORATION Vernonia, Oregon Is It Scriptural? "Part Three Geo. Stuart, the famous South ern preacher," used to tell the story of a man who went down to the Tennessee river for a swim with his two promising boys, lie said, “Now, beys,, we will swim together.” And cut they went until they came to the main current of the river. Then he said, “I think this is far enough- we had better sta-t back.” But the current was too strong and the distance to the shore too great, and his two boys went down. Only by supreme effort was the father himse'.f able to reach the shore. In ag:ny he cried: “My boys are gone! My boys are gone! I swam too f.r out with my boys.” Fathers, mothers, are you ven turing too far in the current of worldline s, of seif ind igence, of pleasure-reeking, or of God-neg lecting business You may man age to return at last, but what about your children? What about your boys and your girls? Come back, father! Come back, moth er!—Come and bring your child ren with you. When the day of the Lord comes and that sad prayer meet ing starts, it will be too late to turn back to God. Speaking of that day of doom for every man who has not made his peace w th God, the pi ophit Zephaniah says: “The great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and hateth great- lv, even the voice of the day of the Lord; the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. That day is a day cf wrath, a day of trouble and di tress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and glocmine s a day of clouds and darkness a ay of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers. And I bring distress upon men and they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the Lord; and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and . their flesh as the dung. Neither their silver ncr their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the Lord’s wrath; but the Whole land shall be devoured by the fire of His jealousy: for He shall make even A SPEEDY RIDDANCE OF ALL THEM THAT DWELL IN THE LAND “Zeph. 1: 14-18. . “For a full end, ay a fearful end, will the Eternal make of all on earth.” — Moffatt’s Transla tion. . “For a complite destruction, indeed a frightful one, will He make cf all the inhabitants of the earth."—Good^peeds Translation. “For He will make an end, yea, a terrible end. of all the in habitants of the earth.”—Baptist Translation. There is no teaching here of a second chance for the living wicked AFTER that day has come. G. F. Brown (To be continted) Correction: In the next to the last paragraph of part two, this series of articles, it should read: There is NO intimation here of a “second chance” for those who» ar: not ready when that day cemes.
