Our Treeless Future

This year enough lumber will be used in the United
States to build and furnish row of five-room houses
which. placed every so feet apart, would reach from
New York to Seattle, down to San Francisco east to
New Orleans and back to New York.
With lumber demand like that, and with more trees

Farm Notes

IN ~onversatlon few days ago
with Mr.. Barringer, we learned that

coid storage plant in connection with
the hight and water plant they are
now operating, and that ALREADY. IN

meats without the losses neretofore
attendant on this operation and will
also enable them to market swee,
milk in New Orleans without
great loss which usually occurs on
account OF souring.

Pearl River County, was near Lum-

With the excellent roads now enter

there is no reason why this county
should not be developed into one of
the best dairy sections in the South.
Certainly there is no better market
any where for dairy products than
New Orleans and with few excep
tions our soils are percuiarly
adopted to the production If dairy
products.
We expect to discuss this in a
series of articles which we will
prepare for the Pearl River County
papers in which we will attempt to
show the many advantages that are
held out to our people for the pro-
duction of dairy products, parttc
larly when we have the facilities
for handling these products SO ad-
vantageously they can be handled in
the three cooling plants at Lumber
