Our Country Right or Wrong PULPWOOD PART OF FARM PROGRAM While everyone knows that the farmers in Gulf county right now are busy planting and tending their 1944 crops, some of us may overlook the fact that pulpwood is an im- portant farm crop, just as necessary to the war effort as many field crops. The department of agriculture recognized this even before the war. In 1938 it published a pamphlet on "Forest Farming," which had this to say of pulpwood cutting on tarm woodlands: "When the modern farmer talks of crops, he includes his timber crop. His farm woods yield him cash income. Forest farming STARDUST and MOONSHINE By THE OTHER FELLOW Alex Young, always looking for speedy methods of transportation (you- can tell by looking- at him that he doesn't like to walk) ap- parently has gotten tired of his motorcycle and now is the proud owner of a 19-foot C.ris-Craft mo- torboat equipped with an 85-h, p. engine that sends 'the water (bug along at about 35 miles per liour (I suppose I should say so many knots per hour, but I' never could, figure out knots and miles). A short time after A!ex got the boat he was taking it up the canal to park it in Bas Kenney's boat- house and he had Carter Ward and George Miller along as supercargo (getting so I can sling around these nautical terms). Anyway, Alex kept easing the throttle down until the boat was. about do- ing top speed. George said he'd just as soon go back to the bridge at Highland View and, wait f6r Alex and Carter as he had his shoes on and didn't want to swim out .of the canal.

When the waitress brought It I gasped for breath-all -they had done was cut the horns and hoofs off a bull and tossed it on the griddle. It was, a swell steak, but I couldn't begin to get away with all of it and had to leave more than half on my plate. Ben could have sliced it -up. and got three big -servings out of it. 0; D.

Timber is a farm crop. It can be made a paying farm crop." Since 1938 the vital needs of our armed services and war industries for pulpwood have overshadowed the farmer's self-interest. There is now a patriotic as well as a profit motive for cutting pulpwood. Moreover, most field products are dependent on containers made of pulpwood for marketing or shipment overseas. No farmer of Gulf county should lose sight of the importance of pulpwood while carry- ing out his 1944 farm program. NEXT YEAR'S TAX BLANKS James Hunt, president of the Massachu- setts state senate, told a woman's club that the tax blanks next year would have thres entries: 1. How much did you make last year? 2.
