Till' luiiilMTiiii'ir..^ troubles centiT -itiKUt the car shortii^e nt iiri-s.-ut iis 

 the situation has steadily grown worse. .Ml mills are (IndlnR It neces- 

 sary to run their shipping departments on part time, the greatest hard- 

 ships coming upon shippers of dressed 3tock which cannot travel In stock 

 or coal cars. Prices naA demand :ire holding strong, and the outlook 

 Is distinctly bright except In the matter of rolling stock. 



The Mollne Lumber Company of Malvern. .\rk.. Is Inaugurating expe- 

 riments In agriculture at Its mill site. Several acres of hill soil have 

 been prepared and tests will be made of the productivity of the soil for 

 various forage crops. This Is the third mill In this locality to recognize 

 the Importance of testing out the iigricultural possibilities of Its lands, 

 with a view to future disposal after the timber Is gone. 



The .Xrkansas Land & Lumber Company. Malvern, ,\rk.. Is rlearlng 

 land for a stave mill near the yellow pine sawmill. Having a vast quan- 

 tity of excellent white oak In mixture with their pine, these people have 

 decided to manufacture stave rather than sell bolts to other stave mills. 

 At first a single saw mill will be installed, but the building will be 

 designed with provlblon for large expansion In stave and beading capacity. 

 Stave buying In this vicinity continues strong, although the withdrawal 

 of the above mentlone/1 firm from the offering market has reduced the 

 weekly shipments by several cars. 



Considerable activity Is being experienced among the hardwood lumber 

 manufacturers In Arkansas at present. From Crittenden county come many 

 reports of vigorous business activity and increased operations. Most of 

 the lumber manufacturing plants of that country are now running on full 

 time schedules Qnd many are operating on both day and night shifts. 

 Their orders are also reported as plentiful. The Arkmo Lumber Company 

 of Enric Is running at full speed and is enjoying a good demand for Its 

 output. The same Is also true .of the Earle Cooperage Company which 

 has recently established a branch plant at Hulbert, and now has two saw- 

 mills going at full blast. 



The Columbia Hardwood Company of Chicago recently purchased the 

 property and timber holdings of the Pemlscott Lumber Company around 

 I'lnckney for $Gu,000 and is adding improvements. It expects to start 

 up in a few days. 



George C. P.rown & Co.. Proctor, Ark., manufacturers of St. Francis Basin 

 hardwoods, are running with night ami day forces of lijO men, and are turn- 

 ing out alwMit l.io.nnn feet in each twenty-four hours. H. B. Weiss, man- 

 ager. Is clearing this company's cut-over tlmbcrlands with a view to farm- 

 ing a large portion this year.
