Louisiana Timber Going Fast.

Lumber production in Louisiana Is
outstripping timber production In the
ratio of to /, and at the present rate
of cutting her virgin timber will be
gone in fifteen years and with It tax
values of millions of dollars, for cut
over lands are assessed at an average
of IS an acre, while the assessment on
timber lands ranges from SIT to $166
an acre. according to ]. g. Lee. profess
sor Of forestry, Louisiana State Univer-
sity. Even the railroads Of the state
will lose 43 per cent on total freight
earnings, not to mention the stupendous
losses in the aggregate to industries,
the individual, the community and the
state. says Professor Lee.
For several years Louisiana has
stood second to the State of Washington
in lumber production. According to the
United States Department OF the In
terror, Louisiana had 1O,O0O,O0O acres
Of virgin timber in 1907; in 1918 she
had but 4.7OO,O00 acres, According to
the State Board Of Affairs, Louisiana
has $50 saw mills valued at 81. 6OG649.
As a heritage from the exploitation of
her forests she has 12.OOO,OOO acres OF
, unprodncttve cut-orer lands, much Of 1t

Town Boosting.
From the Ruston Lcader.l

From the Ruston Lcader.]
The town boosting movement Of
fifteen years ago sought mostly to build
up town with new industries, without
regard to the outlying territory which
was tributary to the town or could be
made SO. Thereby it neglected wonder
full resources of development lying
partly idle at it's back door.
The modern town boosting movement
realizes the potential value Of the
surrounding territory. 1t is just as
interested to see outlying villages grow
as to see its own municipality grow. 1t
realizes that modern life unifies BUSH
ness center and all the surrounding
| country. What helps the outlying
country, helps the center, and vice
versa. It promotes good roads, motor
truck and other transportation. and
everything tending to farm and village
prosperity and welfare.
Boards of trade take up and push
all kinds of enterprises for utilization
of the agricultural resources of the
surrounding country, such as canning
and preserving workshops, creameries
factories for producing evaporated
condensed and powdered milk and
/ other dairy products.
/ They push schemes to introduce high
er standards of stock breeding. They
work to bring the results Of scientific
agriculture home to the farmers.
great deal of the support of the farm
bureau movement has come from organ
izations located in business centers.
| The proper utilization Of farm prod
ucts is capable Of an almost infinit,
development. Take the matter of mill
products. As milk is so bulky ant
heavy, it is much more natural to pre-
pare lot Of these products close to TIN
farms where the milk comes from
Similarly when every neighborhood ha
its canning factory, far more fruits an.
vegetables will be raised, and all thi
. new production brings new bushes
to the trading centers.
