As a matter of fact, one had the

We thought basketball was over
for this season, but apparently it
has one dying spasm left. A game
between the champion Exeter High
quintet and an "all-star" team com-
posed of players from this group
was to be played this Friday night
in Goderich,which school arrang-
ed the event; however, an indefin-
ite postponement was necessary. It
is to be hoped that this game will
materialize, for the Exeter seniors
are better than any single team in
this group, and an all-star 'game
s'houl'd produce good' basketball. A
cheer -leaders' contest was also
planned for the same evening.

Farm Forestry
(W. A. G. Thurston, Zone Forester)
An important part of woodlot
management is ,theharvest of the
tree crop. Trees must be harvest-
ed ,as must all other crops. It is
when you start to cut the trees in
a well managed woodlot that in-
creased financial returns may show
up. Higher quality 'products will
have been grown, thus bringing a
higher price on the market. '
Trees'should be cut when they
are mature, otherwise decay will.
set in and a lower price must be
taken for 'logs or wood 'with rot
present. The practice df • cutting
only dead or dying trees is foolish
and economically unsound. Every
tree that is not cut at maturity,
and allowed to rot, represents lost
money to the farmer. If this fact
is not realized, the whole idea of
woodlot management is useless.
Harvesting the woodland crop at
the proper time is as much a part
of woodlot management as are im-
portant cutting and thinning.
When trees are ready to cut, the
best way of harvesting is for a
farmer to cut the trees himself
and sell the logs. The practice of
selling logs on the stump is gen-
erally unsound. ht may result in
excessive damage to young growth
if a mill operator does the cutting.
However, if a farmer cuts his own
trees, he can take steps and care
to keep the damage to a young
growth to a minimum.
If logs are to be sold by the
Doyle Rule, it will not pay a farm-
er to cut and sell the smaller siz-
ed trees, as he will not get full
value for his logs. Small trees of
ten or twelve inches in diameter
will increase greatly in value in
the next few years if left to grow.
Trees of that size, when they have
increased three inches in diame-
eter will more than double their
board foot volume. The length of
time for them to double their vol-
ume is much shorter than the
length of time it° has taken to
grow to ten or twelve inches. Thus,
it can be readily seen that it will
;say a farmer, to leave the sinaller.,
healthy trees until they reach a
more profitable size. ,
The Department of Lands and
Forests, through their Zone For-
esters, will mark trees for cutting
for any land owned,, thus enabling
a farmer to be sure that the trees
be cuts will make his operation
economically profitable.
Before selling logs, it will oftedr
pay a farmer to make inquiries of
log buyers as to price, so that :he
may get the best prices possible,
for his logs. Sound' marketing prin-
ciples will help to make woodlot
management more, 1ppealing to
everyone. Thus, if a farmer, by
shopping around, can secure a
higher price for his product, he
will benefit more from his manage-
ment
anagement practices.

.104V, in •the manuseril ,diary which
he kept and his family has. ;pre-
eerved, he tells+ the d'ayn to -day, story
simply and' circumstantially.
The 1x38 Argonaut and crew
Members aboard the Lanark, which
sailed from Boston, February 10,
18,49, had an early baptism ,in the
fury of salt water, for the third
day out they ran into •a violent
storm — thunder, lightning, ,; rain,
wind. They lost ;overboard past of
their deck load—bats, water, tim-
ber intended for the houses of dis-
tant San. Francisco. A stop at Rio
de Janeiro was a break. They vis-
ited all the vessels in port bound
fo'r aalifoenia, talking California
with their fellow -Argonauts. In
the streets the inhabitants' remark-
ed, "California," as they passed.
On board ship, they bathed-in.
their India rubber tube and washed:
.clothes in rain water. They fished
for shark and bonito, read "The
Wandering Jew" and Fremont's
journal, attended divine service,
observed such occasions as the day
Old Zach' was sworn into office as
President of the United States. In-
dependence Day they celebrated by
hoisting colors, giving cheers, dis-
Charging firearms_ They rang
bells and ended' the day with a
dance. They played such games as
Groceries. They did a good deal
of singing. A few days out of Rio,
the passengers sang, "The Watch-
er" and "Lovely Mary," "which to
minded me," Mr. Hawley wrote, "of
home- Augusta, the piano, my wife
and fancily." The familiar tunes
accented his homesickness. "Sing-
ing," he wrote, "espeeially when
the words are those that I have
heard in my family, usually blinds
me."
Dances livened things up a bit,
dances to the music of two violins
played by Mr. Blackman and John
Reed. Jr. As there were no wo-
men aboard—he wished' there were
to lessen profanity, and sweoten
manners—these must have been
bull dances. As the Argonauts Gid
not shave or cut their hair, they
must have looked like a bunch of
dancing bears, cavorting on the
deck of the Lanerk.

ed' in together. For a dish he calls
"Dandy Jink," be gives the recipe:
Pounded' hard bread mixed with
water, spiced to ,the taste.' Put
thin slices of salt fat pork on and
bake in tin pans.
The Horn was much on their
minds, and that part of the voy-
age from Rio to .the •Horn was the
most monotonous. Here he began
to wonder why, at the. age of 42,
he was leaving a wife and six chil-
dren to embark on a voyage of
25,000 sea miles. Much snow, hail,
ice and talk of Cape Horn winds
and Cape Horn storms depressed
the spirits of the 'passengers; ner-
vous tension took, its toll of tem-
pera Here's what Truman wore
around the Horn: "two pairs of
wool drawers, a very heavy pair
of Scotch pants, one wool under-
shirt, one Scotch 'Guernsey under-
shirt, one red flannel shirt, a vest,
my thick brown sack, and wool
mittens." Better to be in Charles-
town prison than onboard a vete
sec for months, like this, he
thought. He was caught then,
'but bless my poor soul when I am
caught on board another and bound
around Cape Horn," he wrote. "My
chum says Amen to that." "Ohl
who would not sell a farm and go
to California," he sang in mourn-
ful irony. The next moment he
consoled himself with a proverb:
"What can't be cured must be en-
dured." But it was a hard jour-
ney, anyway you took it, and the
better way was always the one
you didn't take. "If I knew once
what I know now, I'd agone around
the Horn!" sang those who cross-
ed
the plains.
But the Cape was rounded—the
event wasn't half as bad as the
dread of it—and things began to
better, as they sailed up the west
coast of South America. He al-
ways had two strong consolations.
The daguerrotype of his wife' and,
young son Charley was one. An-
other was the cake his wife had
made for him before he left. "Ate
small piece of cake that my dear
wife put up for me and it was very
nice," he wrote on May 11, three
months out of Boston. Hecele-
brated his birthdaa. May 25, with
"cake sent from home and made
by the hands of my dearest Har-
riet." On September 18, he ob-
served the birthday of his dear
partner with a piece of the pre-
cious cake. Piously, he put the
last of it in a can, which some-
one soldered up for him_
As they neared California, pitch, -
ug cents and basket weaving be-
ame the chief employment of all
n board. They . scrimshawed
liimbles from• whales' 'teeth; carv-
d peach . stones into things both
seful :and ornamental. One man
made out of a peach -stone a thim-
ble which he' inlaid with gold and
pearl. Mr. Hawley blocked and
lined the Panama bat he had
bought in Rio for $3.50. As there
were no women aboard to sew for
them, they sewed for themselves.
They mended their clothes, made
coats and tents. Mr. Hawley sew-
ed pockets on five of his, shirts.
"As handy as a pocket in a shirt,"
he observed with proverbial satis-
faction.

San Francisco he described as a

hundred to three hundred vessels
from all nations lay in the harbor.

tents.
He found letters awaiting him
from family and friends, letters
which watered his thirsty spirit.
he wrote. Before he set about in-
stituting an express line from San
Francisco to Sacramento, he went
to say good-bye to the bark which
had been his good home for seven
long months. It was like parting
from an old friend.
That's the way it was for Tru-
man Hawley for seven months of
1849, aboard the good ship Lanerk.
