PINE POLES DEVELOPED BY PRUNING.
is now made with success Other vari
cites will soon be manufactured, and it
is safe to say that this industry may be
counted among new southern wealth.
The lumber business has already ac-
quired so much momentum that agita-
tion has been begun for forestry legis-
lation, Mr.. Edwin Craighead of Mobile
says that the people of the south must
view with deep concern the waste Of
good material and fine opportunity. ow
ing to the absence Of any good system
of forestry in the south There is as yet
no need of more cleared space for agri-
culture. There sre fertile lands every
where that are ready for the plow, but
uncultivated, while the pine cleaTings
are not as favorable for agricultural
efforts. So the maintenance of the for
ests should be encouraged The trees
that are cut down should be replaced
by new. The forest should be helped to
replace itself; yet this is not done But
in truth the forest is hindered from do
ing what it would naturally do if per-
mitted. The custom is to use the pine
levels for cattle ranges and to burn the
woods every spring in order that the
new grass can come up early and be
easily obtained by the cattle
Forest fires are especially destru ctive
in the pine regions and not only destroy
great deal of standing timber. espe
cially in the turpentine orchards. whose
resin has run down the trunks of the
trees to the ground, but burn also the
pine saplings which in the season have
obtained a height of few feet. but are
not big enough to escape the flames
Students of the forest deplore the great
loss thus entailed not only upon the
present generation. but upon all the fu-
ture. for it must inevitably happen that
in time we shall have in this country
no pine worth the saving. A wise for
estry law and strict enforcement
thereof ss)uld permit the saving of all
the timber that is fit to be turned into
lumber and would protect the growing
trees and thus insure continuance of
the supply from generation to genera
tlon. 1t is a matter of the utmost i'm
pOrtance and one to which southern leg
islators should at once turn their atten-
tion. DANIEL RYAN.

RICHMOND Oct 30.-There has been
much talk about the new south ever
since the war, but not until recently
has there been boom which needed no
prodding. After years of weary wait
ing substantial and universal prosperity
has come Best of all southern indus
tries are diversified No longer do We
depend solely upon raising Gotten This
historic city is being revolutionized
The James river is being harnessed for
electrical purposes. and the railroads
are building two costly stations and
several viaducts Several big manufac-
tories are under way. Capital is no
longer doubtful about southern condi-
tions.
The rise in the price of cotton not
only brings hope to the south. but de-
velops a popular ambition which has
not been known in quarter of cen
tury There has for few years been a
tendency to put live stock on wornout
cotton fields, and the result has been to
lessen the production of that staple and
at the same time introduce the raising
of cattle and sheep as permanent south
ern industries.
1t is in lumber, however, that the
most remarkable record is being made.
One of the largest recent cash deals in
hard wood timber land was in Tennessee
and involved 9, 700 acres of white oak
and poplar, which. it is estimated, will
cut 90. 900, 900 feet of merchantable
lumber. Another reported deal is the
purchase of 46. 600 acres of land in
Madison parish, La. $4,000 of which
are to go to Chicago concern which
will erect large sawmills for getting out
hard woods for export The Atlantic
Coast Lumber company's mill at

the largest in the country and equipped
with all facilities necessary for saving
the immense properties, estimated at
about 1000. O00.0 900 feet of standing

The yellow pine is the standard tree Of
the south, but there are much available
poplar and various hard woods. Much
timber once considered to be unmarked

of the excess of resin in the wood, but
