FARMERS ARE "WISE'' LUMBER BUYERS

Washington.-Farmers are better lumber buyers and buy better lumber than ultimate consumers in the cities, it has been ascertained by a survey made by the National Lumber Manufactuiers' Association in response tb a suggestion made by V. F. Hayden, executive secretary of the Agricultural Publishers' Association.

Lumber, it appears, is not just lumber to the farmer buybr, but is so many boards. He buys in person and picks ou.t his lumber fromthe retailer's stock. Conseqgently, lumber dealers whose patronage is largely among farmers generally carry the cream of No. 1 and No. 2 lumber, whereas operative builders rvho make up the major part of city buying eagerly seek the inferior material in those gr4des.
