Rt { Forest Service Says lgnorance of Wodiot Owners Often Costs Them Dearly. ‘Washington, Aug. 27.—The market- | ing of farm timber presents some of * the same difficulties, but In an agsra- selling other crops, say: Service contribution to the Year Book of the Department of Agriculture, just issued. The farmer finds to get enough for his timber. Most farmers now sell their saw timber on the stump to a mill ‘man, such sales ordinarily being made for a lump sum. The mill man, experienced in estimating, _goes through the woods and sizes up the quantity and value of the timber he wante. The owner, being a farmer and not a lumberman, seldom knows anything about estimating timber and has only the vaguest idea of what it ought to bring. The comsequence of this condition is that the farmer often Teceives only a small fraction of the market value of his stumpage. Astonishing examples of what a farmer may thus throw away-are often encountered by foresters, continues the article. For instance, a Massachu setts farmer sold a million feet of tim ber to a_ portable sawmill man for $1,200, and thought he had obtained a good . price, His neighbor, however, iwho something about timber, {got 37,000 for the-same quantity. of {white pine from the very same porta- ible mill men. The first farmer, on ‘sccount of his ignorance, practically presented the mill man with $5,800; the second owner was wise enough 10 learn before he attempted to sell his timber how much he had and what 1t ought to bring him in money. The productive capacity of the 200 miliion acres of farm lands througout the country which either have d have timber growing on them says the article, area is larger than all the national forests put together, and with an an- nual growth of 200 board lut.r'r acre of saw timber—a moderate allowance under the practice of forestry—it produce annually forever about 40 billion feet, or the equivalent of the entire Jumber cut of the country, in sddition to not less than 120 million cords of firewood. These figures, continues the article probably never will be realized, for the Get the Well-Known Round Package MALTED MARKETING OF FARM' TIMBER. | CALIFORNIA A LABORATORY FOR POLITICAL EXPERIMENTS Former President Taft Warns Com- monwealth That it Will Have to Pay.

Town Solicitor Agard stated that the state was ready to proceed without the testimony of the complaining witnes Attorney Led- widge counsel for the accused, asked for a continuance, as two important witnesses could not be subpoenaed as they were out of town, and further that the complaining witness was an importaut witness for the defense.

Mr. Ledwidge said he could show that Mauren took no part in the transac- tlon. Mr. Ledwidge stated that in- jury and wrong would be done his cilents if he were forced to proceed.
