Roper Lumber Company the control of which has recently been acquired by the Norfolk and Southern ! Railway Company' which bitter corpo ration represents a consolidation, of the Norfolk and SouUiern Railroad Com ' pany, Virginia and Carolina Coast Rail way Company. Suffolk and Carolina Railroad, Pamlico, Oriental and West ern Railroad, Raleigh and Pamlico Sound Railroad Company and the At lantic and North Carolina Railway Company, is now making extensive im provements in all of its sawmill prop erties, and, it is understood, is erecting two of the largest and most completely equipped saw mill plants in North Caro lina or Virginia. One of these plants is already well advanced in construction at Oriental, North Carolina, which is a sm ill town admirably located on the Neuse river, and which will be connwrted by rail di rect to Norfolk, This plant will have a capacity of one hundred thousand feet per day. Construction on the New Bern plant has already begun, and this saw mill, when completed, will have a capacity of a hundred and twenty-five thousand feet a day. No trouble or expenses will be spared to make these saw mills com plete in every detail. Every mechai.i- cal and improved appliance that is known to saw-mill, science will enter into their construction. In addition to the saw mill at New Bern, a moderate plainingmill will be erected in connection therewith which will have capacity sufficient to dress the lumber from the New Berne plant. and lumber from such other plants of this eonuanv as miy be desirable to dress at that point. It is stated that these plants will be completed during the coming year when the dailv caDatltV of the saw mills ot the John L. Roper Lumber Company will be five hundred to six hundred thousand feet per day, or over a hun dred and fifty millions of feet annually. It is known that the plaining mill plant at New Bern will be electrically riven from a central electric station at which point electricity will be gen erated for the entire plant. The John L. Roper Lumber Company . . i t owns six nunarea inousanu acres ui timber lands in fee, and between two hundred and two hundred and fifty thousand acres of timber rights. The estimated stumpage or timber on all of their tracts is over four thomand mil lion feet According to investigation made in this section, it is found that the aver- nro orowth of timber of all kinds is from three to four per cent, annually, which, based upon the above estimate, wonld yield this company an annual minium erowth of a hundred and twenty million feet The John L, Roper Lumber O-mpany, therefore with an annual output of a hundred and twenty million feet of lumber or ten million feet per monoh, could operate from their lands perpetually, cutting timber of the various kinds in propor tion their distribution over their lands It is understood that this companp intends to adopt practicl forestry meth ods, looking to the presevation of their timber holding as far as possible. Oer tain of their lands and a very large proportion, are admirably adapted for for agriculture, being rich and fertile With the present railroad facilities of the Norfolk & Southern Railway Com pany, products from farm lands in this entire section are very accessible to the Nodtheon Markets, and will be reudred still more accessible upon the comple tion of the bridge across the Albemarle Sound and the railroad connection from Washington to New Bern. In answer to an inquiry as to whether the company proposed to acquire more timber or timber lands, it was stated yesterday that the company felt that it had aM of the timber that it needed or desired, and was hardly warranted in making iuather purchases, especially at inflated prices, while the growth alone of its timber amounted annuall to a hun dred and twenty millions of feet, . ap- Droximatine- the expected capacity of all of it mills. 1 It was said, further that the com pany would still purchase logs which were rafted and sold in the open market. when these could be obtained at fair prices, which would allow it to make a reasonable profit on the lumber when sawed. The company intends to cut Drincioallr the timber from lands on which they own only the timber rights, and will reserve their fee simple hold ings as long aspoeaible. They Stand Alone.

We are all concerned in the subjects to be discussed. Soil Improvement" is one of the principal subjects to be discussed. We are all concerned in this subject espe cially, for the best of our farms could be doubled in productiveness by using the best plans and persevering in them. Another question is "Our Insect En emies. we lose very mucn oy insects, and Mr. Sherman will tell us which to fight, and how to fight them success fully. Come ready to ask questions, on any farming interests. The men who come to hold the Institute are men of etpe rience and practice, they expect us to ask questions; 1 have asked them a great many, and have been benefitted by them, I have been farming fifty years, and I learn something new every year. I expect to learn all I can next Tuesday and try to retrieve the disad vantages of this unfavorable crop year. Brother farmer, think what questions will help you most in your work, and have them ready to put in the question box and they will be answered. If something is wrong with a fruit tree or any thing else on the farm, we can learn some remedy perhaps that will well pay us for the time and trou ble of going, and if any of you are not taking the best farm paper in 'North Carolina, bring a dollar with you and take the Progressive Farmer for; 1907, it will be the best invested dollar you will probably use for the farm and the home. If the agent for that paper is not present, I will take pleasure in for warding the names and money for any subscribers who may desire to take the paper. When you start to get ready to go to New Bern next Tuesday and any one asks you where you are going, don't say I'm going to that Institute, but say I'm going to our Institute. It is for us farmers, and it is our business and should be our pleasure. DANIEL LANE. Bellair, N. C.
