"Industrial Forests and Their Environment." Col. Tom Lane is still in Germany as a command surgeon, but he is scheduled to be returned to the U. S. in late summer or early fall.

It was once a fact that Vermont had more cows than people, but I doubt if that's true today. However, we might pose the question to an authority such as Jim Lancaster who is the owner of a 40-acre farm on Lake Champlain. Right now it is for vacations, but Jim hopes to eventually retire there when he gives up his ministerial duties with the Massachusetts Conference of United Churches of Christ. Both the Lancaster girls have deserted Massachusetts for Virginia where they are teaching.
