More Walnut Going Out 



It IR reported from M.^mphls, Tfnn., that fourteen sawmills In that 

 city and In the territory contieuous are at work cuttinK 25,000,000 feet 

 of walnut into gunstock material for the European market. The forests 

 of a large territory are being drawn upon for this walnut. The entire 

 reported cut of this wood In the United States in 1913 was only 40.- 

 000,000 feet, and present Indications point to that quantity from gun- 

 stocks alone this year. If that drain Is kept up rerj- long it will result 

 in a scarcity of walnut and a consequent rise in price. 

 New Work for Toy Makers 



An Important change has tak'-n place in one of the Swiss woodwork- 

 ing Industries. The toy market has beeii practically killed by the war. 

 It was customary for the peasants to whittle out the toys In their homes 

 when they could spare the time from their regular work. They still

llegulleil by the iittrni-llv.- wording ..f iiii ii.lV'-r(lM-iii.'iil npp.'iirliig In a 

 iriiili' |ui|K'r, a IrUNting inventor from the .N'orlli bought n Hnwinlll In the

 ii.'vvly piirchiiied proii'Tty and to aKsiinie Us manngeini'nt Ih.' r.'cnt owner

Ak tli.'y climbed Into Ih.' iiiitlve's luiggy to ilrivi' lliroiigli the woodH lo

The Most Useful Tree 



It is claimed that tlii' palniyia palm of s.iulli'rn ..\sia Is the most useful 

 tree In tie world. \ list of .sill) Ufics has b.cn made for It. It Is food, 

 medicine, lumber and oil. It Is said to be the strongest wood In the world 

 and Is of Cleat value for building purposes. Its libers are woven into cloth, 

 hats and baskets and ina.ie Into brushes and brooms. Slates to be us.d by 

 children In .school arc made of the leaves. Some of the wood reaches 

 America In the form of canes and umbrella sticks. It Is said that one- 

 fourth of the Inhabitants of nort! ern Oiyloii depend on the tree for their 

 living, not only for biilbllng and manufacturing purposes, but for foo<l us 

 well. The Juice is coverted into vinegar, sugar or wine. A single tree In 

 Its lifetime will produce thiiti'en or fourtien tons of sugar. Nuts are 

 planted and when tbcy sprout, tie young plants are eaten like asparagus. 

 About LSO.OOO pl.ints grow on an acre, and the palm asparagus Is worth 

 from .f.I.ei.O to $10,000. It is bell.ved that eo other crop will yield so 

 great value per acre. It Is the only known case where an entire tree Is 

 cooked and eaten, though the tree so eaten Is only a few days old. 



Shot-Riddled Timber Nearly Useless 



Reports from sonn' of llie foresls in tin- liaiil.. ur.'a of Europe say 

 that the grivilesl injury i<i limber docs no! cousisi In those trees which 

 are broken down or split by sh.lls. but In those struck by smaller splin- 

 ter.'- of steel which Iniiy deeply In the trunks and remain there. .\ hun- 

 dred trees are Injured In that way where one Is actually broken down. 

 \Vhen peace comes and logs cut from these trees are placed on the car- 

 riage for sawing it will be found that they cannot be converted Into 

 lumber because of the metal In the wood. Saws would be ruined In cut- 

 ting such logs. Timber of that kind may be used for many iiurposes 

 as round logs and the loss will not be lolal. Some of the bailies have 

 been fought over areas of a hundii'd square miles or more, and sonic 

 of the laud is heavily timbered. The deterioration of the timber in those 

 anas miisl be very great. 



Price Cutting Denotes Laziness, Ignorance, or What? 



SiiKtcm, in a recent issue, has the following statement uiuler the caption 

 "l^rice Cutting — Pure Cussed Laziness" : 



"There Isn't a crime covered by 111.' moral code, that nowadays has not 

 Ijeen explained away as b.-ing some f.irm or other of disease, dipsomania, 

 kleptomania, and so on. .\nd 1 am told that price-cutting is also a form 

 of mania. But I don't have much patience with that sort of white- 

 washing : price-cutting is Just pure cussed laziness. The salesfman who 

 does It Is too Indolent to exert himself to real work — and selling goods Is 

 that — so, after a f.'W half-hearted efforts, he la.vs down and disgraces 

 himself by slashing a price that is already par. li down to llie quick." 



Forty-Five Thousand Silos 

 It is said that 45,000 .silos are now In use in Wl.sconsin, and that Is 

 only one state out of a total of forty-eight In which silos have come 

 into use. Most of the states are behind Wisconsin In the number thus 

 far built, but the total for the whole country must run into hundreds 

 of thousands. Wood Is the principal material for these farm buildings, 

 though cement, tile, brii k. and stone are used. It is a new place for 

 wood and was practically unknown a score of years ago. While wood 

 has lost some use in certain directions It has gained in others, and prob- 

 ably It has gained more in sllo construction than in any other line. The 

 field Is a large one and It opens great possibilities for the employment 

 of lumber. 



Pine-Straw Roads 



Motorists in Florida have often traveled over sandy roads carpeted 

 with a layer of pine needles. In 1910 there were 277 miles of pine-straw 

 roads In the state and they are still using this road material in the Ume- 

 6ink and lake regions where the sand Is so deep that there Is little or no
