Big Profit From Arkansas Forests
In Arkansas the Ozark and Ouachita National forests reported net profits of 15722688 and 90019 28 respectively for the fiscal year ending June. Federal forest official Joseph C Kirseher said the Ozark forest not only supplied timber but paid counties nearly 40000 while the Ouachita returned about 1400 to its counties and two percent of net profits funded tax revenue. The primary revenue source cited was legal liquor sales tied to timber used for white oak stave barrels.
