SURVEY OF PINE TIMBER
REVEALS QUICK GROWTH
STATE UNDERTAKES INTEREST.
ING STUDY.

Alexandria, La.-How fast does a
pine tree grow? Does a shortleaf
grow faster than longleaf? How
many cords of wood will stand on an
acre of ground at the end of fifteen or
twenty years? How long does it take
to grow saw log?
These and number of similar ques-
tions will de definitely answered, at
least for Louisiana, when field
party from the State Department
of Conservation completes a survey
covering most of the second-growth
piney woods Of Louisiana. The re-
suits of these studies, when combined
with similar studies being made in
other Southern states, will be pub
lished for the use of timber owners
throughout the South The men now
at work in this state are s. A. Tra.
fant, Jr., Of New Orleans, and W. H.
Thompson, of Ola, LaSalle Parish.
During the past month they have been
measuring stands in Calcasieu, Beau
regard and Vernon Parishes, and are
now working out Of here. They report
surprisingly rapid growth in young
stands on old fields and cut-over land.
The growth. of virgin timber is very
much slower.

Wednesday. June l5-As the gener-
al work on the place is running about
as usual, | want to tell you something
about the poor, down-trodden office
force and their work. The office force
in the Colony is just sufficient to car
ry on our business and keep our ac-
counts in good shape, look to the sub
scription lists of our papers, etc. Com
rade Burton is the bird that we lay all
our mistakes upon for he is the head
of the bookkeeping department, espe-
cially taking care of the corporation
business and the individual accounts.
You. see, our members use our main Of
flee as a banking place, which permits
the Colony to use all private funds for
Colony use until the colonists have use
for their own money. Comrade Will
hide keeps the Colony books for all
departments and general accounts on
the ranch. Mrs. Dougherty is the Col
ony timekeeper, helps on the publlca-
tons, and assists in any other office
work necessary. The girls, Rosa Matz.
Louise Belohradsky, and Myrtle Kemp,
are our stenographers. They are all
school girls, doing the letter writing as
their industrial work. At the present
dime there is no one to assist them to
advance in this work, but we hope soon
to have some one competent to make
this work of more value to the girls
and Of course, more interesting. My
nart of the work is to look after the
correspondence, membership depart
ment. etc, and must say this crew
has always been able to get along
well enough TO put up with me with
out fight or quarrel. 1t is hard to
figure how this is done unless it Is be-
cause we are kept SO busy we have no
no time to interfere with each othegs
affairs or look for trouble. Well, this
bunch (yuself excepted) are capable
workers, s7"ou don I thinK 'ngy W;
do their pss. miss your guess. We
need more help at ,he office, but II ot1-
i Departments were well supplied with
beln i would lift our burdens. No
one here calls our office force para
Sites or white collared guys. No, in
the future, if your letters have mis-
takes n them, just consider what we
mean and that we couldn't help it.

us to own these two Fordsons and the
farm equipment we use with them.
The stump-pulling crew have been
building fence around the large lot
to keep away outside stock and furnish
much pasture for our own horses. and
mules. Some day, we expect to park
this place and make it a beauty spot.
This fence work has been done Of
mornings, while the stump crew goes
into the fields in the pm. Hoeing is
being done among the sweet potatoes,
the cane, corn, and other field crops,
and if we have no more rain soon, we
will again be caught up with our work.
We could use more farmers all the
time if we had them. as the raising of
food is the one big job that means
eats for humans and for stock. The
psychological meeting was big one
tonight and the general talk was upon
the economic problems of the Colony
and of the world, and how we should
look into their solution. It is
our intention to produce all our own
food, clothing, and shelter right here
as soon as we can and make ourselves
free from outside exploitation. We
believe the time will soon come when.
the problem of food will compel us to
raise what we get and that other sec
tions of the country will be forced to
do the same. Then is when our efforts
will show to the greatest advantage.
We are now having better variety of
food than vast majority of our COM
rades who are outside.

Friday, June 1.-THE fence crew is
almost through with the, new fence and
the general farm work is on as usual.
Lindsey was called down the country
to vaccinate some hogs at Pickering.
The saw mill crew is getting out lumber
and material for making sweet potato
crates, as we expect to have several
large orders soon. Another car load
of bran, shorts, corn chops, kaffir
corn. and wheat arrived on our switch
to be unloaded and sold through the
store. The wheat will be ground into
