LUMBER PRICES. TAKES
AND UNDER. PRODUCTION
SS@%%s.a&4S%s@A@Aa&A@1$1


To The Memphis News Scimitar:
| read with much interest the edI-
tor1al appearing In your paper 3 few
DAYS aRo under the caption Lumber
Prices and Taxes" and while I quite
agree that the present system of levy
ing FEDERAL taxes. has produced certain
evils that must be rectified, | do not
believe that this system Of taxation has
had more than an infinitesimal, II any,
influence on the price of lumber.
The. present prices Of lumber are due
entirely to subnormal production,
which in turn Is the result Of unpre-
cedent weather conditions prevailing
throuKhout the producing area, making
1t impossible to bring the logs to the
mills. There has been no voluntary
curtallnlent of production. either be-
cause Of the excess and income taxes
assessed by the government, or for any
other reason On the contrary. the
lumber industry as a whole has put
forth every possible effort to bring
production up to the point that the de-
mands OF our country, and the world
requires. but it has been humanity i'm
possible to do this because Of the ele-
ments,
1t is possible that the present system
of federal taxation may have retarded
the sale of timber property, but this
has in no way affected the supply of
lumber. or its price; the industry does
not lack manufacturing facilities or
even at this time the stumpage. 1t is
probable that during the last Is months
the production Of lumber was not over
SIS per cent Of the physical capacity OF
the mills. so that 1t will be seen that
with 100 per cent production there
would be lumber enough to meet all re-
quirements. An increase in nanufac-
turing facilities would not relieve the
situation 8 particle. What is needed is
dry weather and sunshine, and when
that Is given us, our problem will be
solved. Yours very truly.

IncidentIy, the name Virginia Dare"
dates back originally to the court OF
Queen Elizabeth and the plans Of Sir
walter Raleigh to establish a separate
kingdom in the new world-an effort
which cost him his head.
Sir Walter, it will be remembered
was one of the favorites of the Good
Queen Bess,' but, according to histo-
rians of the time, was also devoted
to the daughter Of Sir John White.
After the mysterious disappearance of
the first Raleigh colony-one of the
still unsoIved mysteries OF American
history-Sir Walter planned to send
over three other ships under command
of Sir John White, with the idea OF
setting up a separate government on
the other side of the Atlantic, where he
and Sir Johns daughter would rule.
Queen Elizabeth, being informed of
the scheme, forced marriage between
Mistress White and Aananias Dare, one
of the hangers-on of her court, impris-
oned Sir Walter Raleigh. and ordered
the expedition to proceed toward the
new world. The colony landed at
Roanoke island, off the coast of North
Carolina, and almost Immediately a
child was born to Mistress Dare. In
honor of the country it was named
Virginia.
Two and a half centuries later Car
rett & Co. seeking a distinctive name
for their scuppernong wine, called it
Virginia Dare" and, in their extracts
have preserved the same trademark,
all the more applicable, because, ac-
cording to the legend, the "originar'
scuppernong vine flourished on Roam
oke island, where little Virginia Dare
was born.
Garrett Il CO., therefore, nave the
unique distinction of being a firm
whose history is marked by three i'm
portant dates-all of which are sepa-
rated by q long span of years:
1887, the date on which the White
colony landed on the coast of North
Carolina.
1882. the date of the organization of
the firm which later became Garrett &
Co.. the oldest manufacturers of wine
in the United States; and
July l, 1919, the historic date which
forced Garrett & Co. to knock the first
syllable off the word impossible and
to make TWO products where only one
formerly existed.
