Before the mountains were brought forth or ever Thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, Thou art 90:1, 2.) Good Tree Farming Like Raising Beef by Martin G. Anderson, Forester Pasturing and burning the woods have been pointed out as two practices that must stop if the woods are to become more productive. The third essential in good tree farming is the prevention of over cutting. When too many trees p.re cut, particularly the smaller ones, a decided loss in tree growth results. Trees are a continuing crop, like beef cattle, and only the annual increase should be sold or harvested.

Trees are like money invested at interest. To continue drawing interest, the principal must not be used. Growing timber is almost an exact paralled to growing beef cattle. If you 'have 100 acres of good pasture, but only five head of cattle on it, you do not have enoug-n. The pasture is not fully stocked with animals, and part of it is going to waste.

The pasture should carry 30 to 50! head of cttle. The woods, too, should have enough trees so all growing space is being used. The good beef stockman does not sell calves when they are born. He keeps them, because they will grow fast and put on weight 'naturally, without heavy feeding. Under average conditions the calves will not be sold until they are 12-18 months old.

Young trees grow fast. Most of them should not be sold until they have reached at least 22 inches or more in diameter on the stump. This applies to all good hill timber, and to cottonwood, sweet gum, sycamore and ash which grow on bottomland soils. After calves have put on weight they can without heavy feeding, is time to sell, if the market is right. Does the owner of a good beef herd sell the best young cows and heifers? No, of course not! Such a practice would reduce the quality of the herd, and they would all be "scrub" animals.

The wise owner picks out the best cows and the best looking heifers I for breeding stock. The oldest cows, the steers and poor heifers are sold. Timber should be treated the same way. Trees to be taken out should be those that are unprofitable for the owner to keep. The owner should select the trees to be cut, just as he selects the animals to sell from his beef herd.

Many timberland owners sell only the best trees; or they will I sell all of the timber, large and small. This practice leaves the woods with only the worst trees, or no trees at all. The capital, or principal, will be reduced, or and it will be long before I the next payment can be collected from the timber land. Murder Trial Reconvenes While waiting for the court to reconvene, Dr. A.

Arnold Axilrod (C) and the members of his family sit just a few feet from Pfc. Matt Moonen, whose wife Axilrod is accused of murdering. Seated with the accused are (L-R) Mrs. Haroli Axilrod, sister-inlaw, his mother Mrs. Lil Axilrod; his wife, Fanny; Dr.

Axilrod; Matt Moonen and Alfred Frederickson, the father of the slain woman. Firm testimony by Dr. E. F. Brauti, in behalf of the State has kept this otherwise weak case from falling apart.
