be a question of what to cut out, and 

 wheil. An understanding of the ele- 

 ments of proper cutting and lumber- 

 ing would greatly benefit many a 

 farmer. 



One of the biggest problems in 

 Canada to-day is the disposal of 

 slash and brush. A recent fire in 

 British Columbia raced over an area 

 of timber slash. Whether the fire 

 could have been stopped there if 

 the slash had been properly disposed 

 of is an interesting question. Many 

 serious fires have been started by 

 farmers' brush fires. Permits have 

 relieved this situation very materially. 

 An intelligent farmer is the best safe 

 guard. 



PAPER AND STEEL 



The latest census of manufacturers 

 in the United States shows that in 

 America the manufacture of paper 

 is second in importance only to the 

 steel industry. The total invested 

 capital is estimated at $500,000,000, 

 while the annual value of the manu- 

 factured product of the paper and 

 pulp amounts to $350,000,000. 



WHY MAHOGANY COSTS ARE 

 HIGH 



Mahogany timber primarily is no 

 more highly valued in its native 

 country than many of our own fam- 

 iliar woods. The things which make 

 mahogany costly to the consumer in 

 this country are the difTiculties en- 

 countered in locating, cutting, and 

 bringing the timber to market. 



Some of these cost items are set 

 forth in detail in a recent consular 

 report on mahogany production in 

 Guatemala. This report says it costs 

 $12 per 1,000 feet to load mahogany 

 logs on ships. There is a cost of $15 

 for railway transportation, and the 

 ocean freight, which we generally
