got into the water to lead Pet
and Patty through the rushing
water. Ma told Laura and Mary
to get under the covers because
they might sink. When they got
across to shore, they still travel

wasn’t there under the wagon.
She called and called, but still
no Jack. Their watch dog was
gone.
Ma told Laura to cheer-up,
for he may come back. When
they found a place to camp.
Laura saw two green eyes look

hugged and hugged him until
Jack’s tail hurt. He wagged it
so hard.
Little House on the Prairie
by Anne Baxter Pratt
Long ago there lived two chil

names were Mary and Laura.
Mary and Laura’s last name
was Ingalls, so Ma and Pa’s last
name was Ingalls too.
Every now and then Pa’s foot
got to itching to move on. So
they moved on.
They found a nice little spot
on the prairie and what do you
think Pa did? Before you knew
what had happened there was a
little house on the prairie. Well,
after a while Pa’s foot got to
itching again.
So Ma and Pa, Mary and
Laura Ingalls moved on some
where else to stay and to start
over.
Little House on the Prairie
by Linda Hoffman
Once there was a family

much.
When Pa, Ma, Mary, Laura
and Baby Carrie left the Big

day Pa said to Ma, “Let’s make
a house here.” So they did.
They had a nice house.

Southern Psne Business Booming
So far, 1959 has been a big
year for the Southern Pine
lumber industry, economic pil
lar of 12 states.
During January and Febru
ary, orders booked for Southern
Pine lumber were 22 pct. higher
than in the same two months
last year. Shipments were 19
pct. higher, and production, 13
pct. All percentages are based
on reports by 90 mills to
WEEKLY TRADE BAROME
TER, published by the Southern
Pine Association.
Southern Pine figures were
much higher than the national
lumber average. For all lumber
regions, including Southern
Pine, January and February or
ders were 9 pct. higher than in
1958; shipments 5 pct. higher
and production was the same.
If the trend continues, 1959
production could approach rec
ord levels of the Post World
War II era. Unofficial estimates
place total 1958 Southern Pine
output at 7,500,000,000 board
feet — slightly higher than the
1957 total.
Lumber manufacture is a key
factor in the South’s $7 billion
per year forest industry. At the
present time, the region is pro
viding about one-third of the
nation’s total lumber supply,
with 345,000 southern workers

attributed the upsurge to an in
crease in demand for seasoned
lumber.
“The reporting mills produce
grade-marked Southern Pine,
which is required by our rules
to be properly seasoned,” Smith
declared. “Everywhere people
are experiencing stronger con
sumer preferences for quality,
and lumber is no exception.”
The lumber picture in the

Smith said the productive
capacity of Southern Pine mills
was such that they could meet
any foreseeable demands. Des
