INDUSTRY

A Mulberry dispatch to the Tampa
Tribune says:
Immediate expenditure of two and
a half million dollars on development
of the phosphate indutry in Florida
is assured through the successful
sale of that sum in stock OF the
Southern Phosphate Company of Bos-
ton. and work is expected to begin
at an early date on Polk county
properties already owned by this
concern, which is one of the largest
phosphate companies in the world.
The initial expenditure of this sum
of money will be only starter, 1t Is
declared, as this company expects to
run its development into sums OF tens
of millions and to mine and export
annually more than 100000 tons Of
hard rock phosphate from the Flori-
day properties.
The Southern Phosphate Company
is headed by New England financiers
and has operated in Florida for a
considerable time. The new expan-
sion is to care for expected increases
in the demand for hard rock phos-
phate. and it is not thought'that any
of the rock mined on the new proper
ties will be handled domestically, all
going to foreign countties through
Florida ports.
This concern is headed by Hayden
& Stone, bankers of Boston, and
work is expected to begin at an early
date The sale of this stock was con

FOREST STUDENTS
DID SUMMER WORK
RECONNAISSANCE WORK OF
STUDENTS IN PARKS AND
FORESTS REPORTED.

Complete reconnaissance studies OF
Hepburn park and of state lands in
Clearwater county were made during
the summer months by party sent
out from the University of Idaho for
estry school Dean F. G. Miller and
Dr. Henry Schmitz of the forestry
school faculty, Frank Brown and
James W. Farrell of Boise, Ralph
Space of Weippe and Raymond Peter
son of Moravia composed the recon-
naissance party.
"Included in the work at Hayburn
park, "said Dean Miller today "were
Investigations of recreation features
and plans for their development, an
estimate of the timber and the prepa-
ration of a topographic map. Con-
siderable apprehension has been felt
with reference to the amount of in
sect injury to yellow pine in the park.
This matter was studied carefully and
the results of the investigation indi-
cate that there is no cause for I'M
mediate alarm. 1t is true that there
is a considerable amount of insect
killed timber in some acreas of the
park, but when compared with the
total stand and the average number
of trees killed annually, the quantity
is not excessive and this point is no
valid argument for cutting the timber
in the park.
"In Clearwater county our party
found some very valuable state timber
holdings. The agricultural possibili-
ties of these tracts were investigated
and will be fully discussed in a report
to be made in the near future. We
also prepared topographic map of
the area covered.
"It is be hoped that in time a re-
study of all state owned /
lands may be made. When completed,
such studies will be of inestimable
value in the proper handling of these
areas and will be large factor in
maximum returns for the
various institutions to which grants
If the land involved have been made"
