The Value of Southern' Pine
An aere of vigorous am* ought te
produce 300 feet of lumber a year, and
the South has 40,0*0,000 or 50, 000,00*
aeres of such land, without appropriat
ing any that ought to be devoted to
agricultural purposes. At that rate the
yearly yield for all future time would
be 12,000,000,000 feet of lumber. That
is considerably lees than the preaeat
annual soft woods' production of the
South, which is about 14,000,000,00*
feet; but it would be a vast resource,
especially when the time comes in the
comparatively near future when South
ern pine will be worth |SS or $30 at tbe
mill, instead cf 112.69 a thoassnd. as it
was reported in 1909 by the Federal
census. . v ?
