DERIDDER NOT PLEASED
WITH CENSUS FIGURES

The City Council Of DeRidder held
a special meeting on tuesday evening
of this week for the purpose Of consid-
ering the proposition to have munic-
ipal census taken of the City of De-
Ridder which they UNANIMOUSLY decid-
ed to do. This action was taken be-
cause Of the dissatisfaction occasioned
by the announcement of the federal
census, which gave DeRidder a popu-
slation of only 1886. After the FEEDER
al census is found to be incorrect, and
there is no doubt but that it is, the
city will petition the government for
a recount.

BOYS AND GIRLS WILL
COMPETE AT BIG FAIR

With approximately $4,000 in cash
premiums to be awarded and a strong
spirit of rivalry existing among the
youthful farmers of Louisiana, the ex-
hibits by the Boys and Girls Clubs
are going to be among the most inter-
esting features at the State Fair, Oc-
tober % to November z, inclusive. The
competition this year is expected to
be the livehest ever noted in cOnnec-
ton with the State Fair, owing to the
steady extension of the club work and
the natural rivalry that has developed
among different clubs and sections.
The exhibits of the Juveniles will
open the eyes of visitors to wonderful
progress the boys and girls are max
ing in farming activities by using the
improved methods that are taught
them. In numerous cases the club
members show much better results
than do their elders, owing to the
failure of the latter to break away
entirely from the old methods of plant.
ing, cultiYating, etc. That this is true,
will be demonstrated in some of sthe
contests at the Fair in which boys
and girls entries will compete against
those of adults.

will be numerous exhibits by the Corn
Clubs, Pig Clubs. Poultry Clubs, Cot
ton Clubs, Potato Clubs, Dairy Clubs

EUROPE NEEDS

War-tom Countries Expected to
Call for Twice the Amount
Shipped Before Conflict.
DEMAND MOSTLY HARDWOODS
Railroad Ties by the Million Being
Negotiated for by Great Britain
and France-Public For
ests Solution.

Washington. - Europe, emerging
from the war, is expected to call up
on the United States annually for
about twice the quantity Of lumber
that was shipped across the Atlantic
before the war.
The demand for the future will be
mostly for hardwoods, while In the
past 1t was 70 per cent for soft woods,
mostly Southern pine.
Great Britain, France, Italy, Ger
many, Belgium and Holland are lum-
her importing nations now expert
encing exceptional and often acute
shortages of wood as an aftermath Of
the war. Railroad ties by the million
are now being negotiated for by Great
Britain and France. For the most
urgent reconstruction and expansion
all of these countries will seek lumber
I'm large quantities from the United
States as soon as exchange rates
slump to stable basis.
Demands High-Grade Timber.
II is improbable, however, that the
United States will be called upon for
any considerable quantity of the or
binary grades of building lumber re-
auired in the reconstruction of west
ern Europe. Europe has quantities of
timber suitable for such purposes In
Russia, Finland, Sweden, Norway and
the new countries carved out Of the
Hungarian empire. Large lum-
, her stocks have accumulated along the
Baltic sea during the war.
Europe does demand high-grade tim
Der products from the United States,
which American industries can Ill af-
ford to spare-such as large structural
and ship timbers, flooring, hardwood
slaves and furniture. implement and
vehicle stockton which the demand
will steadily increase Hickory and

ash handles. for example, are now go
ing to Europe in considerable guam
titles, the foreign demand for these
products again being a factor which
affects stock and prices In the domes-
tic markets.
While the European trade consti-
tutes only about 40 per cent of the
United States exports of lumber, de-
velopment Of Central and South Amer
lea, parts of Africa, China, Australia
and New Zealand will naturally re-
suit in a gradual increase Of lumber
exports to those counties.
The most serious effect Of the for
eign trade In lumber will be to in
crease the present shortage of high
quality products, because it is exactly
such products which are short the
world over and which lumber import
ing nations are most DESTROYS to get
from this country.
The effect will be most pronounced
with respect to American hardwoods.
The foreign demands include not only
cabinet, furgiture making, and finish
Ing woods of special beauty, like wal
nut or quartered oak, but also many
woods used In manufacturing essen
tials of commerce and industry, like
oak and hickory wagon stock, woods
used In agricultural implements. The

Public Forests Solution.
The eventual solution OF the prob
lem presented by an active foreign
trade Is identical with the remedy for
depletion through domestic consump-
tion-namely, not to restrict the use,
but to increase the production of tim
Der by getting all forest-growing lands
at work. This remedy, however, will
not entirely meet the need throughout
the world for timber of high quality.

II every acre Of denuded land In the
United States were planted today, a
long tine would elapse before the de-
pletion of high-Quallty stumpage which
has been cut so freely from our virgin
forests could be made good.
Furthermore, the private land own
ers can seldom afford to carry timber
crops during the long period necessary
to produce material of high quality.
The most effective means Of ovcrcom-
Ing the shortage Of hlgh-grade timber
is the creation of public forests, which
can be utilized to the extent necessary
for the production of large timber or
of special products.
