PROFIT IN PINES Chief United States Forest Service Urges South to Grow Timber Raleigh, N. C. July 10.—“No region of the United States’’ says Gol. W. B. Greely, “ is more favorably situated for the growing of timber for profit than the South.” Great strides are already being made reports II. M. Curran, Forester for the State College extension di vision. Lumbermen, manufacturers, turpentine operators and farmers arc all abandoning the practice of destruc tive logging and are growing timber as a crop. Mr. Curran states that one company in Louisiana planted 1000 pounds of pine seed this year. Five million seedlings of pine will be ready for planting this fall. An Arkansas Arm with half a million acres, has placed its forest area under control of a trained forester, to control ftres and so manage its forests as to secure new growth and continuous production for the 3 million dollar plant. “The Government is aiding with its Experiment Stations to solve all pro blems that confront those who want to grow timber for profit,” says Mr. Curran. “To avert the destruction of our Naval Stores Industry, plans are on foot to grow and crop continuously .ifter improved French methods the forests of the South,” says H. M. Cur ran, forester for the State College of Agriculture. Practical turpentine men will this year visit the Iandes district of France in the vicinity of Bordeaux, to study first hand the method which the French use. Three million acres of wast land have been converted by their foresters into the most pro ductive turpentine region in the world.” NOTICE OF SALE By virtue of the power and author ity vested in the undersigned Mort gagee by the terms and conditions of i certain mortgage ueeu, execuieu ami lelivered by J.
