PINE SruMps

There was a time when the man who
had hundreds of acres of land dotted
with pine stumps, counted himself
land poor" But that day is past
and the southern farmer who has his
hundreds of acres OF pine stumos has

What can be done with pine prod
ucts has been told many times, with
two pine products companies of PEN
sacola as examples of this thriving
industry. A recent number of the
Southern Lumberman carries some in
teresting comment along this line. The
Lumberman says:
Cotton can be raised fairly well on
land that has not been cleared of
stunps. In fact, IL Is doubtful If even
so per cent of our southern cotton
fields are cleared.
But there are now several reasons
why southern cotton planters are be-
coming interested in clearing their
plantations. Possibly, the big reason
Is little one-the boil weevil. The
ACCESSIBILITY of diversifying crops is
another. Shortage of labor and higher
wages makes the use of modern farm
machinery tractors, etc, almost i'm
peratiye and stumps prevent that.
=
Then. too. it has recently been dis
covered that the pine stump wood will
bring more from manufacturers of
turpentine, resin, tar, pine oil and 9TH
er pitch products than IL costs to get
it out. Thus. the land is doubled in
value and productiveness at no ex-
pense to the owner if he can sell his
stump wood.
"A good deal OF southern stump land
is located beyond profitable shipping

ers of some of such tracts are seri-
ously contemplating building plants
Emory winship, Lumber City, Ga. is
one OF these. He recently had some
experiments conducted on his own
stump land upon which he could base
calculations and form judgment as to
whether it would pay him to utilize
his stump wood in the manufacture of
pine products.
Tt was found that on his tract the
average of merchantable stumps was
&c to the acre, the wood weighing ap-
proximately $4,000 pounds and meas
uring between three and four cords.
OF course, other cutover tracts may
average considerably higher o. .ower
than his.

Senator Reed of Missouri is a sad

The democratic party of Missouri in

Press Comment
The Denver Mob.

The Denver Mob.
Because the Denver Post had op-
posed the strike of street car men in
that city, mob OF strikers and their
sympathizers attacked the building
Thursday night and damaged the plant
considerably. While the rioting was
in progress. officials of the newspaper
hoisted an American flag; the 1estruc-
ton ceased for a few moments. then
was renewed with greater vigor than
ever.
Organized labor does not counten-
ance rioting. Long since have the Of
ficials of the American Federation OF
Labor learned the secret of public
opinion, and violence on the part OF
any class in the eye of the general
public. reflects discredit.
II the time has come in this (coun-
try when a newspaper cannot take a
conscientious stand on any question,
then God help us! The fundamental
principles of our government are gone;
personal liberty is a thing of the past.
a rule of the minority threatens us.
The Denver Post had a right to raise
the American flag. Their American
ism is unquestioned by sensible people
By deeds of the past they have proved
their loyalty. No American citizen, or
the citizen of any other nation as for
that. can attack a building flying the
national colors and not feel the ter
rible boomerang of public condemna-
ton. .
The merits and dement's of the
strike do not enter into a discussion of
this strike at all. The Constitution
of the United States extends to- every
man the privilege of free speech. If
