will have to work very hard
to get the same rating on April
20th. There is ample time to
polish demonstrations and to
choose alternate projects to
give demonstrations in, and it
is any one’s guess as to who
will be the lucky one to repre
sent Newton County at Rock
Eagle”.

EASE OF ADDITION
Among other advantages, a
wood plank-and-beam home is
easy to add to.
According to the Southern
Pine Association, the roof sys
tem of lumber beams and wood
decking can be extended at
small cost to bring additional
area under cover. Vertical
framing is also simplified be
cause of the strength of the
roof.
EXCELS
According to the United
States Forest Service, South
ern Pine sawtimber “now ex
ceeds the growth of any other
species in the country.”
