BULK OF PULP WOOD; Secured Contract That Willj Prorate Market For A Year j ? At Hendersonville. According to Harry Rotha of the: Farmery Federation, Inc. the Federa-; jtion has made some very substantial j s contracts for pulp wood and extract 1 I wood to be shipped from May 1, 1932 j to May 1, 1933, and while the priccs I j are lower than they were during the i ; past year, still it gives our farmers ' a chance to pick up some ready cash, | when he cannot realize rash from ! other farm products. i This wood will be bought at all the ? Federation warehouses, the nearest one to Brevard being that at Hender sonville. It has been suggested that Transylvania fanners interested in i this work see the Hendersonvilli (warehouse authorities and sign up j with them for the amount of wood you want to get out this year, so that : plans can be made to take care of the wood. There was more wood cut last year than the market could take care of and this will probably happen again this year, therefore we do not recom-j mend that any farmer cut any wood; without "he has contracted the sale of ! the wood he expects to cut. So far there is no market for pop- j ular pulpwood and we would not ad-1 vise any {firmer cutting any poplar | wood at this time. If the pulp mills; decide to buy poplar wood later onj we will advisat a check may be made of the number being mailed oyt.
