'"T' HEY all grew right in Indiana where 

 *■ hardwoods have always held the 

 choicest farm lands. The best growth of 

 timber as well as the best yield of wheat 

 comes from good soil. The soundness of 

 the log-ends shows that they fed on the 

 fat of the land. My

 of virgin hardwood llmlierland In Crittenden county, Arkannnn. The tract

 and arrcncp will n>it lie known until n survey of the troct has been com-

The Kansas City Hardwood Flooring Company of Little nock baa 

 recently closed a deal for the purchase of 2.200 acres of virgin hardwood 

 timberland four miles west of Little Rock on the Chlcnco, Rock Island & 

 Pacific Railroad. A big mill Is to be built on the siding of the Rock Island 

 main line west at a point about three miles west of the city. The 

 Kansas City Hardwood Flooring Company will then build a spur track 

 from that point Into the timber districts for use In hauling the logs to 

 the mill. Altogether about one hundred and fifty men will be employed 

 by the company at the mill and In the woods. Operations are to begin 

 at once, nnd It Is expected to have the mill In operation within sixty days. 



The lumber industry In nil Its phases has been on^the Improvement In 

 Arkansas during the past sixty or ninety days. The demand is Increas- 

 ing, and the prices arc steadily advancing. It is believed that the highest 

 point has not yet been reached, and that for some time lumbermen may 

 expect a market for their products from which a real proflt may be 

 made. One of the greatest handicaps encountered today Is the car 

 shortage, of which complaints are to be heard on all sides. This condi- 

 tion, however, only makes the demand stronger, and consequently holds 

 prices at a better level. 



The Dierks Lumber & Coal Company of Kansas City Is planning to 

 erect a large sawmill at Dierks, Ark., where the company has a large 

 tract of virgin timber, both pine and hardwoods. Tlie new mill plant 

 will cost about ?2.'i0,000 and will be completed as fast os the work can 

 be done. The work on actual construction is to begin about February 

 1. The new plant will be situated at the eastern terminus of the 

 DeQueen & Eastern railroad, about thirty miles from DeQueen, In the 

 heart of the thousands of acres of timberlands owned by the company. 



The Dierks company formerly operated a plant at DeQueen. which 

 ' liided a pine sawmill, hardwood sawmill and a planing mill. This 



int was burned down In 1000, nnd has never lieen rebuilt. According 

 to the present plans, however, the new plant will be larger nnd more 

 up-to-date than the one which was destroyed by lire.
