BRUSHING AND SEEDING DRIVE ‘MEETING FAVOR (Continued From Page 1) . lany time of the year. The best time to do this work is during the late fall ‘and carly spring and sometimes it can be continued almost all winter. This, of course, depends on seasonal conditions such as the amount of snowiall. Brush can be cut after the ground has been frozen and when it is impossible to do anything elese along the land clearing line. When it is cold the brush will cut easier, there are no leaves which makes it mare convenient to handle and one has a good footing in places which might be soft during the open sea- son. We have then, so to speak, a year round land clearing program. “ The state foresiry department is interested in pushing the brush line back from the standpoint of fire prevention and is co-operating \yith the university and.county organiza- tions in this campaign. The labor investment for removing brush from around the buildings is the one and only premium which is paid on & fire insurance policy, which will be in effect ever after.” ‘Professor Sghwantes asserts t is possible to get much more done for.a | dollar this year if one hires labor to do the clearing than has been pos- sible in the last three or four years. Labor can be secured more reason- | ‘able during the proposed brushing which probably is not worth quite so much as time during the open season. Utilization of t%s time for work of this kind during the closed season will more continuous employment of la- bor on the farm throughout the year. “Wild land has no loaning value,” he says. “It costs, on the average, about $1.50 a year to pay the inter- est on an acre of wild land, and like- } ly enough more in taxes to make the total yearly expense about $2 an acre. It then cost\ the farmer $2 an acre each year for the privilege of it. Now if it is possible through the investment of a little labor durnig the slack scasons ‘of the year to put this particular acre. into sugch shape that it will bring an income which will pay the interest, taxes, and a little more each year, it seems that “It is necessary that the men doing | development - work have a definite system and follow it. The cost of clearing and developing must be kept down to the minimum so that the ul- timate cost of the farm which is made out of a piece of cut-over land may | BREAD AND MILK' For More Than Decade Malady of Alabama Woman Was Continually Sapping Her Strength Mrs. H.
