a man who'd almost forgotten the meaning of the words
comfort and convenience, to really appreciate the electrical
wonders in store tor the home of the future. Amazingly

THE HUMBLE ECHO, HUMBLE, TEXAS
FREEDOM PAYS DIVIDENDS, TOO!
A Newton County, Georgia, farmer, a news story tells us,
•did a lot for the nation’s war effort by cutting and shipping
41 carloads of pulpwood from his farmlands. Equally import-
ant, from a purely personal standpoint, is the fact that the
farmer’s efforts netted him $4,510 ... a tidy sum from land
jthat otherwise wouldn’t yield anything.”
.One thing to he drawn from this story is obvious: Pulpwood
'cutting pays dividends—in more ways than one. Many farm-
ers have been able to increase farm earnings substantially by
cutting pulpwood. At the same time they have been able to im-
prove their woodlands.
But there is something else to be gained from this story.
The nation desperately needs pulpwood for a hundred and
more vital war uses. Without pulpwood our war machine, now
shifting into high gear, would falter; our victory pace would
bje slowed and probably halted.
Uncle Sam relies on the patriotism of his farmers to cut the
14,000,000 cords needed in ’44, but offers peak prices in the
bargaip.
This could happen only in America. Only in the land of the
Free could a farmer make profits while aiding in the war ef-
fort. Germany, like the United States, is making extensive use
of its farm timber; but Germany, you can rest assured, is not
offering high prices to its farmers. Nor do the Nazis appeal
to patriotism. The concentration camp—or worse—awaits the
farmer who fails to produce to the limit. ’That is the difference
between this country and Naziland.
That’s the dividend which counts in the long run.
