The Valley Log I>oading Company reports that its entire log loading 

 <-quipnient on the Vazoo & .Misslsssippi Valley lines of the 1. ('. .system 

 is idh' and will remain so tliroughont the month uf June. J. W. Dickson, 

 president of the company, states that this suspension of loading is due 

 primarily to the fact that there are no logs to load. This c'ondition is 

 attrihutahle to the fact that there has heen practic'aily ccunplidc stoppage 

 of logging opc^nitions throughout the Mlssissipid Valley territory during 

 the past seven or eight monlhs. As a matter of fact, the company has 

 heen loading logs which were prepared for shipment late last summer or 

 fall and has ahont completed this wcu'k. Mr. Dickson anticipates that 

 there will he a fair amount of tiinher cut during the month of June, and 

 that the company will be able' to resume operations of at least part of its 

 equipment in .Tuly. Broadly speaking, there is very little disposition on 

 the part of owners of hardw 1 timber land to cut their logs for conver- 

 sion into lumber under the present rather un.satisfactory relationship as 

 between supply and demand. This closing do\vn of the Valley Ix)g Load- 

 ing Comiiany offers the liest contirmation yet available of the oft repeated 

 claim that logging operations have heen at a virtual standstill.
