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

(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

No farmer can afford to pay taxes on idle
land. 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.

On the far side of a knoll exposed to enemy guns in the Solomons;
one of Pfc. Rondell Lyons' comrades was wounded. Marine Private
Lyons brought him in. Another man was hit. Lyons brought him, too,
to safety. The injured men were thirsty. But all canteens were empty,
and the Japs had the only water hole covered. Lyons went out in the
face of continuous- Jap fire and brought back water for his comrades
For this he wears the Silver Star. He risked his life for his fellows
