- B—4 REAL ESTATE. SOUTH NOT AFRAID TIMBER WILL FAIL Pine Association Sees Ample Supply Despite Heavy Drain for Years. Although lumbering has drawn upon Bouthern forests for timber for a great many years, there is no pros- pect that this important industry will | disappear in the South because of a scarcity of timber, -according to a| statement just issued by the conserva- tion department of the Southern Pine Association, and announced through | {ts Washington office. The statement | also asserts that a plentiful supply | of Southern pine lumber to serve the needs of future generations indefinitely for home building and other construc- tion purposes is assured. “It is distinctly noticeable” the statement mentions, “that there is| no visible diminution of growing tim- | ber in the Southern forests. Second- | growth timber is replacing the old | virgin timber that was the white man's heritage from the Indians, and second-growth forests meet virtually all of the lumber needs of today, as the second-growth trees usually are not cut until they are mature and meet all requirements for manufacture into lumber.” Forest Service Statistics. 1.

Gage, British Governor of Massachusetts, as it looks in its present state of reconstruction. Taken completely apart and shipped to this city, the house is being rebuilt for United States Forest Service statistics for 1930, cited by the conservation de- partment, show that 30 per cent of the forest area of the South is in merchantable saw-timber; 28 per cent 15 in cordwood-size timber; 20 per cent of the area is restocking with young growth, and only 22 per cent of the area is not restocking. With respect to the condition of the South- ern pine area, which comprises 79 per cent of the total forest area of the South, figures taken from the 1930 survey of the United States Bouthern Forest Experiment Station, show that 28 per cent of the pine area is in merchantable saw-timber; 28 per cent in cordwood-size timber: 36 per cent is restocking, and only 8 per cent is deforested.

Adaptable to Production. “The South is fortunate that its| forests are so adaptable to continuous production. Practically all species of | Southern timber trees grow rapidly m{ merchantable size and quality, thisi being particularly true with respect to the Southern yellow pines, and with protection against fire, which| now is generally given timber lands| in the South, and the adoption of se- lective cutting, and leaving of seed | trees, which now is becoming popular | with lumber manufacturers, there is | every | reason to expect public and private co-operation in timber grow ing will perpetuate the Southern lum- | ber industry and insure an adequate | supply of Southern pine lumber to serve the requirements of present and future generations indefinitely for | home building, various other classes of construction and for industrial uses.” FLORIDA REAL ESTATE REVIVES AFTER DECADE | Land Seeks Supply-Demand Level as State Throttles Boom Price Epidemic. Real estate business in Florida, once #he principal occupation of the resi- dents of the State, is showing definite signs of recovery, after a lapse of a decade, and sustained market activity during recent months definitely indi-| cates the return of confidence among irvestors in Florida land. | The story of the present activity in Florida real estate, however, is far different from that which held the| attention of the country during the | Florida boom of 1925. The repercus- sion of the land buying orgy left a lasting impression on the citizens of the State which will prevent a 're- currence of an epidemic of “binder- | boys” for many years to come. In| the last 10 years, real estate inter-| ests have occupied themselves with | the task of setting their house in| order.

It was carefully removed and shipped here with the rest of the house. In the work of taking the Lindens apart, tiny handprints of a child were discovered in the plaster at the foot of the stairs leading to the third floor. Although | the remainder of the original plaster | was lost, the architect saved the sec- tion marked by the child and it will be placed in the Morrises “new” home. | Care in Demolition. 1t took five weeks to take down the | Lindens.

The framing of concrete slabs is new and fireproof and air- conditioning is being installed. Ma. comber believes the rebuilt Lindens should weather the storms of several centuries.

Thousands of home-makers soon may be living literally in “glass | houses.” Leading architects and builders— | eager for new atyle and utility appeals to awaken reviving interest in resi- construction—are preparing plans which will “play up” in various forms glass block paneling of the new type of house. A favorite spot in the home for the glass block type of construction will be the solarium or sun porch, the architects say. The reason for this is that glass blocks transmit and dif- fuse up to more than 86 per cent of the available light. At the same time, the glass prevents spotting of sun rays which come through ‘it and reduces the heat of the sun’s rays on the out- side. Interior partitions will be given D. C.
